Anyone ever heard of them making a mistake when calculating GPA? I have two transcripts and the LSAC GPA came to be lower than I expected.
-
@dcdcdcdcdc Thanks! Yea those tactics are clutch. I've been keeping track of those on flash cards and focus on implementing every time.
-
Congrats on the Times piece!
-
@DumbHollywoodActor For example, are you neat and organized rather than messy and haphazard while you are working through the game? Are you constantly trying to push rules up against other rules making inferences (i.e. thinking) rather than just…
-
@BinghamtonDave Thanks for the response! This was very helpful. I agree that I'll likely need to foolproof every game. The timing seems right for a tutor as well. My abilities in LR and RC are probably just a little further along than LG... a few gr…
-
@fmihalic2 Ya I am easing back into LR and RC after 8 weeks of fool proofing games. Not a terrible performance but definitely rusty. I should have been more specific in that prephrase. The passages for each POV are fairly short and to the point. Lo…
-
I am at the end of my fool proofing and I moved along a similar progression as you are describing. Foolproofing takes time to engrain those inferences into your approach but it does work. I think I had my "breakthrough" around PT 23. You may consid…

@MichaelTheArchAngel My goal would be to analyze all 4000 of the LR lol. An ambitious goal! Just be sure that you are using your time wisely and only writing explanations for questions that gave you difficulty. Not sure taking 20 minutes to wr…
-
hi @MichaelTheArchAngel. Since you are just starting out, I would not recommend focusing on any particular question type. It will be better if you begin the core curriculum and follow it conscientiously -- spending more time on sections that give yo…
-
@jkatz1488 thank you! Would answer choice D be the sufficient assumption answer choice in that question? @"Martin.jul" As it turns out, answer choice C is both necessary and sufficient to bring about the conclusion. I don't think D would connec…
-
Ah well i stand corrected! @Freddy_D
-
I could be wrong, but I believe the problem sets at the end of the lessons in the CC contain questions from PTs 17-35 only. The drill packs that have questions from PTs 1-16 should be questions that you've never seen before. Again, I could be wro…
-
Yup. They overlap. It's been working out well for me though. I did every question in the problem sets in the curriculum and wrote up quest analyses for any I was unsure of. But then i foolproofed LG and that took 2 months. As I now return to LR and …
-
Just trying to build my wariness/understanding! Thank you! I do this all the time, as well. In my experience, however, the mere presence of a conditional in the AC is not a signal for me. Instead, the nature of the conditional is extremely impo…

LSAT 55 Section 1 Question 12
-
@rebeccasunshine thanks for asking this. There has been at least one other thread recently on this same topic "does my experience count?"... that's how I interpret your question anyway. Just like @"Alex Divine" said, this topic is definitely doable …
-
Love the idea of using a fresh PT sections as experimental. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of PT wealth to burn But in the end, I like what @Zachary_P says and usually there is more to learn from used PTs anyway.
-
This is a very old (3 years old as a matter of fact) thread. I'm not sure how @fmihalic2 came upon it. However, the LSAC provides a very useful tool for answering questions such as this: https://officialguide.lsac.org/Release/UGPALSAT/UGPALSAT.aspx…

ya know. bitcoin and the like

When will 7Sage begin to accept e-currencies @"Dillon A. Wright" ?
-
So all that said, maybe LSAT trainer isn't really necessary for my areas of weakness Yeah. Doesn't sound like it. Keep fool proofing games and training yourself to operate well under timed conditions. I have a tendency to make those focus error…
-
It mostly reinforces the fundamentals that we've learned here. It has some helpful tactics in games which aren't used as frequently here. I have it but haven't touched it since I started with 7Sage. There is a lot of value to be had in the book, but…
-
Sounds right to me! I don't doubt the test writers have some creative ways to incorporate prescriptive speech without the use of "should" or "ought", but these terms definitely seem to be the preferred approach.
-
Ah this is a fun game! I wouldn't say it necessarily means that you are weak in conditionality. What specifically are you finding difficult about this game? Timing? Comprehension? What unlocked this game for me was once I began to split, I saw how …
-
Haven't touched LR in a while but I remember seeing the "gap" in reasoning which we are trying to plug up. Diversionary AC will either be totally unrelated to that gap or, trickier, misrepresent that gap as when confusing sufficiency for necessity.
-
A contrapositive will always have at least 1 sufficient condition and at least 1 necessary condition. "Does not treat patients" is only 1 idea -- it is the negation of our original necessary condition "treat patients". Using that new idea (/B) we ca…

Below is my question analysis from back when I encountered this question in the curriculum. It's posted in the comments so maybe you saw it and it wasn't helpful. If that's the case, let me know. Argument Paraphrase: Published in last 150 years -m…
-
The questions haven't changed. You still need to know how to pick apart the argument and determine the gap between the premises and conclusion. That hasn't changed from 1-35 to the more recent PT. Agreed. The test has evolved but the fundamenta…

I believe all of the content is written specifically for the LSAT. I remember reading that in the LSAT Trainer.
