@"lady macbeth" said: predictions on the curve? I guess the question becomes if the RC was easy to compensate for the Mining Game. I had a great day and thought RC was not as bad as the past few we have seen, but that could be due to all kin…

Hey akistotle, Thanks for responding! I agree with your interpretation of the premise and conclusion. Would you agree that an assumption that Sid is making is that one person walking across the grass would cause everyone to erroneously believe that…

As soon as I see the stem, I know that my job is to create a valid argument. As I go through the stimulus I must make the premise(s) 100% have to lead to the conclusion. Identifying the conclusion and premises is step #1. From there I ask myself how…

I found that checking or thinking about time throws me out of focus, so I time myself intuitively. To build this intuition, I started breaking tasks outside of the LSAT into 35 minute intervals. This helped me to be able to intuitively feel what 35 …

Taking time off for me sometimes scares me into thinking I will forget/lose everything that I have learned and will face serious setbacks. This causes a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety. Generally, your LSAT skills will not disappear if you tak…

There are some really great Webinars that dive into individual question types that you can find here: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/. You can additionally use the question bank to filter by question type and do a bunch of the same type. It also…

I began doing games by reading the questions and stimulus from my laptop and writing on scrap paper. Increasing familiarity with inferences and game types through fool proofing is the most effective way to get faster. However, I picked up a lot of s…

Thank You, 7Sage!! As usual I cannot express how thankful I am!

A lot of Counties within the US have a resources section on their website that lists organizations that provide resources for County residents. Most of these organizations are oriented towards helping disadvantaged residents. You could look into get…

@cqas190517 said: Probably the thousandth person to ask this, but how can I improve my time on LG? I can go either -0 or -2 now, but it takes me an hour to figure out all four games completely. I do the game board up front and don’t have to re…

It sounds like you are on the right track. I saw a lot of improvement and progress by printing out 10 or so NA questions and only reading the stimulus'. I then wrote out as many NAs that I could for each argument. This helped me get really good at p…

This is an awesome post.Thank You!

To put it as succinctly as possible, I enjoy always questioning the reasoning behind the way things are. The second we start just going through the motions is the second we stop growing.

I would like to be added too. Thanks!!

Lol when the narrator said that the sufficiency necessity error was so common that we even have a name for it, I 100% expected him to say "the oldest trick in the book". This was an awesome video. Thanks for sharing!!

I totally see what you mean with skipping, coming back, and not having the passage as fresh in your mind. This is always a frustrating feeling for me. The hardest questions often are based on subtle one line details and when I come back to a skipped…

"Most helps justify" is the most common type of PSA question stem. These differ from SA questions because the credited answer choice will not need to be sufficient to make the argument completely valid.Remember validity means that the conclusion 100…

@"Lucas Carter" said: @akriegler said: Which LG was real in this order? Rc-lr-lg-lg-lr 3 Whoops I was wrong. It was 4.

I can empathize with some of what you are feeling, as I had trouble getting into the "zone" on the first section and think it may have ruined my score. It certainly is demoralizing in the moment, but if you zoom as far out as possible, we have a lot…

@christori97 said: LR was definitely hard... anyone know if the one with "extremely sweet" was real? Yes it was. I had 2 LGS. Real RC had plate tectonics and seismic activity as the last passage.

Thank you so much 7Sage!! The genuine encouragement and support of this community is amazing!
-
To reiterate what everyone else has said, stick with it!! I emphasize this because I always took LG success for granted when first learning it. It is touted as the most "learnable" section and widely perfected by most top scorers. However, it is no…

This video sums it up pretty well:

Are you pre phrasing? By this I mean are you thinking about the assumptions/flaw before looking at the Answer Choices? Try looking at a few questions and writing down every single questionable assumption you can think of.
-
Definitely about quality over quantity. By that I mean how much you take away and learn from each one. Anyone can take every single prep test, what matters is what you gain and learn from each one. JY uses a really useful analogy of extracting every…

Thanks 7Sage!!! This community is so inspiring and empowering. Glad to be apart of it!!
