Congratulations @"theLSATdreamer " I would probably just practice it with the right amount of time. If you need extra time, it probably wouldn't help to go at 35 minute mark and you might end up getting more wrong that way. Good luck!

Congrats @jkatz1488

@"Cant Get Right" said: haha @Sami . I still don't like pre-phrasing! lol If I say it's more like "observing" the argument. Does that make it any better?

@"Cant Get Right" said: So with this question, my interpretation of the stimulus is the same. I recognize the conclusion and premises and wonder what the age of the craters has to do with anything. That kind of comes out of nowhere. It seems t…

@TheoryandPractice said: Hi @Sami, thanks for your help. Hmm now I am confused. I solved the problem based on your description of P and C. (which is very precise.) I went to the actual question and then I realized that I actually misread your …

@TheoryandPractice said: Hi @Sami ! This is very well put! very clear, thank you. That helps me a lot. This is how I would usually approach the question. Tell me if this makes sense. Conclusion: Volcanic events rather than meteors ca…

Hey Sami! Thank you for the reply Another question (if you don't mind!) what do you do if say you are doing the LG section and time runs out before you have even got to a section (basically, a whole game blank). In terms of BRM, what should…

@"lsat 1101" said: how sad, I thought I understood all this, then I did a game today that 's supposed to be SO easy PT 48 game 1, and I immediately did the first few rules as biconditionals instead of straight forward conditional. there are on…

@TheoryandPractice said: Hi @Sami ! Thanks for your wonderful advice. I have one question: how is strengthening/ weakening the conclusion different from strengthening/ weakening the argument? If I weaken the argument, wouldn't it naturally…

@dennisgerrard and @tanes256 I think they are missing big cities on purpose too because no way can you miss New York, Dallas, and Atlanta. I know they were doing testing here last year through a research company, and I signed up but I couldn't make …

Hey, So it seems that on Amazon the June 2016 PT 78 was released on August. I am guessing the time line would be similar.

I remember reading at one time on the top law school forum, so I can't verify the authenticity of this, that one person who score really high attributed his success in games to partly doing outside games like Sudoku. I think in general games like th…

@"zachary.robtoy" said: Has anyone gone from a 140's to in the 170's in two months of intense studying? It's possible and maybe you can do it. I know its not the question you asked so I am sorry about that. I don't know anyone personally th…

@"Cant Get Right" said: I'm not sure what "except A, B" means. I'll assume we mean "B except when A." It's an interesting statement. So let's think about what it means. It seems to imply that we must have B in the absence of A: Except …

@"The 180 Bro_OVO" said: I'm not sure about "if A, then B vice versa" and "except A, B" @Sami What are your thoughts? Hey : ) So yeah, if A, then B vice versa would imply a bi-conditional relationship. "Vice-versa" just means to…

@"lsat 1101" said: Ahh thank you so much Seriously, I appreciate your time and help, I'm so glad that confusion came up otherwise I would have gone on thinking I have a basic grasp of these. beautifully explained, I did the homework, and I…

Hey @TheoryandPractice I think there are two kinds of Pre-phrases and one is helpful and the other one can hinder us on a curve breaker questions. @"Cant Get Right" can probably shed more light on this because I think on a fundamental level we ag…

@"lsat 1101" said: ahh thank you Sami your second explanation helped too I finally get it, I appreciate it!!! now if only I could understand the other one visually with respect to floaters! Hey so the bi-conditional rule doesn't have floater…

@"lsat 1101" said: Thank you so much Sami for your kindness compassion and help I think I hit enter and wrote my comment right after you had written yours so I didn't see it. I really appreciate that you wrote it all out, it helps especially…

Thanks for sharing @TheoryandPractice. You are asking all the right questions and I ask the same ones for myself. Thank you for writing it down for all of us

@"lsat 1101" said: I was googling and found someone who has written on these below - is this a correct interpretation? with the second rule, you can't have either x or y be floaters? I don't know why this is confusing me but to me it sound…

@"lsat 1101" said: Thank you both. I've been studying logic games for a while now but just discovered 7sage and am still deciding if I want to purchase the course so at the moment I don't have access to those lessons. I've begun watching JY's …

@ifty2nd said: I have been thinking about drilling from old PTs. I know it will help, but I was wondering how difficult are the LR questions in the new PTs vs. the old PTs? Should I drill from the new ones instead (60+)? Or should I stick with…

@jkatz1488 said: Without being exciting, you cannot be friendly Hey so "without" is a group 3 indicator word, so this should read : Not exciting then you cannot be friendly. In other words: If you are friendly then you are exciting. I th…

@akeegs92 It should as long as it functions as a group 4 indicator. In your above sentence its not the word "not" that determines if we should "negate the necessary", but the word "no" - which is right before the word friendly. "No" is a group 4 i…
