Which question?
-
I've always preferred going through the section in the order provided because, as far as I can tell, there's no way to determine how difficult a passage is until you've read the passage and begun the questions. I say this because some passages are e…

Which question?
-
As @MTreigys alluded to, some sections are harder than others. Generally, if you're given an easier than average scored section, one of the other scored sections will be harder than average, making up for the difference. That's why you'll often find…

I think it's wise to use LawHub some before your actual test. Luckily, LawHub's interface is similar to 7Sage's, so it probably won't take you long (if any time at all) to adjust. Still, the interface is slightly different, and I found that the firs…

The experimental is always one of the sections that showed up twice. So your score will consist of one scored LG, RC, and LR section. As you alluded to, if you have 2 RCs, you can be positive that one of the two was experimental.

JY is referring to any game you attempt, meaning the games featured in the videos and the problem sets, but also games you attempt independently while drilling or taking practice tests. As for the number of games he's talking about, there's no spec…
-
Sometimes if I'm struggling to understand something in the passage or if I'm not confident that I'm grasping something in a passage I find the videos useful. Sometimes JY will explain something I couldn't understand and other times he'll admit to no…

@Ty the Frog Of course! Glad to help.

It's impossible to predict how long it'll take you to improve. I've seen people with (roughly) the same initial scores take drastically different amounts of time to reach the same endpoint. Learning the test just comes more naturally to some than ot…

Congrats on the back-to-back awesome scores! It has to feel good seeing such strong results after putting in so much work. In terms of which PTs to take, I'd definitely advise that you attempt multiple PTs in the 80s and 90s before test day. To be …

@toni_michelle @jenalfakhoury98 @Char Barbie Check out this forum post: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy/p1 Though it's 8 years old, the strategy is still gold. It's helped me and countless oth…

Every section. You can learn a ton from BRing RC and LG. For RC, perhaps pay attention to things like question types you notice popping up repeatedly, parts of the passage that are frequently asked about (like author’s tone, main point, purpose of …

There is scratch paper for logic games. You're allowed five sheets of scratch paper during the real LSAT.
-
1/2/3 difficulty questions are more common, but each test has some 4/5 difficulty questions. It varies pretty greatly by test, but a general distribution may be something like 4 level 4 questions and 3 level 5 questions per LR section, one level 4 p…

@rdyoung12 Apologies for the late reply. Been away from my account for a bit. So, in the case of a sufficient being failed, must the necessary be false or is the status of the necessary simply unknown here? If the sufficient is failed, is the co…
-
To address your bullets in numbered order: Correct Correct No, you don't need to consider contrapositives in these situations Think about it like this: if the sufficient has been failed, it doesn't matter if the necessary is failed, because fail…

I completed the curriculum and returned once I started doing timed LR sections. I'd just go back if I felt I was struggling with a question type. It certainly wouldn't hurt to return to earlier question types while doing the curriculum, though. I wa…

@SlowDown Ah gotcha. I've always assumed it was two overlapping Ls, too. I remember being puzzled the first time I saw him do it and I've never had any other theory haha. And yes, I also draw the overlapping Ls. It felt odd at first but now it's sec…
-
From what I can tell, it's just the symbol he uses (meaning it's totally arbitrary). I started using it, too, because I saw him do it repeatedly, but I think what ultimately matters is choosing a symbol/representation and sticking with it. You can r…

Some people PT while going through the syllabus to get used to the test’s pacing. I completed the syllabus before testing. I didn’t want to take full PTs if I hadn’t practiced all the concepts. It comes down to personal preference. If you decide to …
-
If I come across an unfamiliar word in an RC or LR section, I look it up on my phone after I complete the section. I then leave the tab open until I’ve looked at the definition enough to remember it. Every time I open Safari, the tab is there. I get…
-
It’s hard for me to give a lot of advice without knowing how you’re doing in RC, but one tweak I made early in my studies that helped a ton was spending more time on the passage. Originally, I’d always try to get through passages as quickly as possi…
-
Yes, you should receive a 10 minute break after section 2. Also, you should be given an optional one minute break between sections 1 and 2 and sections 3 and 4. If you didn’t receive the 10 minute break (or any of the breaks, really) and you feel it…
-
I think it's highly likely. They typically offer numerous opportunities to take it in the fall, sometimes in consecutive months, because they know people are working on their applications and would like to take the test for the first time or retake …
-
I have done this on numerous occasions but I don't do it often. I typically only do it on games where I'm not particularly confident with my setup going into the questions or where I feel there's a bunch of possible "worlds" (meaning the game isn't …
-
No, a passage doesn't only provide support for the author's argument. There may be instances where the author states something that's not part of their argument and, if one of the ACs directly references that statement, it would be the correct AC. F…
-
I don't know that the exact way LSAC determines scales is public knowledge. In a nutshell, though, LSAC determines that some tests are "more difficult" than others. Some people debate whether or not any test is truly easier or harder than any other …

I constantly struggle with this in LG, but I've gotten better over time by forcing myself to consciously read the game setup, game rules, and question stems. Additionally, I read each rule at least twice to make sure that I translated correctly. Aft…

Perhaps enter the answers into both and grade each? I’d assumed the section you took will have far more correct answer choices. Apologies if I’m misunderstanding your question!
