@Logician thanks for your input; I think your reasoning makes sense here..
Also, I probably should have asked in the original post but do we have a sense as to what LSAC's viewpoint on this is? Based on PT75-1-15 (also potentially, 75-1-9), I think…
@sydthekyd - Have you gotten to Sufficient Assumption, Pseudo-Sufficient Assumption, Parallel Reasoning, Flawed Parallel Reasoning, Must be True, Must be Fal
se, Principle and/or Descriptive Flaw Questions in the core curriculum?
If you haven't ye…
@armangrigoryan1999, circular reasoning is when a conclusion is based on a premise that is more or less a rephrasing of the conclusion. Though this is the unifying characteristic behind all circular reasoning, I feel like there are a couple of diffe…
@Markmark I'm right there with you man! When I do a new LG section, I find myself always make "dumb" mistake; sometimes its picking a could be true instead of the must be true, other times its an error in manipulating the symbols in my head so I 'mi…
@"jeff.wongkachi" appreciate the feedback, haven't yet really focused on questions that I get right but maybe were traps for others and picking apart the logic of why it is a genuine trap; that's interesting though and I'll try to start to do that
Of course! To piggyback of what @"Jahn.Snow97" was saying is I like to ask myself, "what implies what?
If I had to bet, @legallyconfused, you probably have a really good intuitive understanding of what the conditionals mean but it's the formalizing…
@KevinLuminateLSAT... Mind blown.. really awesome explanation of this - I find these examples super fascinating.
It seems that this happens because we split up the components of "only if" across the sentence; similar to how we can sometimes drop "h…
I was under the impression that they had phased those out because they discriminated against individuals with certain types of visual impairment? Not sure where I heard this or if this is just one of those myths.
I presume that using the Command F feature to quickly search the Reading Comprehension is absolutely restricted since this functionality presumably wouldn't exists on 'regular' in-person tablet version?
I searched on LSAC but was not able to find a…
@427cobra - Definitely start with PrepTests 1-35 (be sure to include Prep Test A, B, C and Feb'97 into that as well). That should give you ~160 games to start with. What's great about 7Sage, is that the course was written so to only use examples in …
@JerseyLife49 Just wanted to say you're totally not alone; I quit my full-time job to study for the LSAT, in part because going to a coffee shop or the library to study (which I wasn't able to do while working) made a HUGE difference in my ability t…
@jmarmaduke96 I concur entirely, certainly it isn't a must be true and agree that without the EVEN this it does not follow that the author is pushing back against the claim. To really drive home the point, I think the author could have even said "th…
@jmarmaduke96 Thank you for the response! I think this makes more sense in my head now; I think I had been just confused by the multi-tiered argument - someone is making a claim, and our author supplies premises that result in a conclusion which att…
@oliviamae98 Congratulations on graduation! I would definitely go ahead and get the letters of recommendation now. I have heard however that some AdComs scratch their heads with letters that are +1.5 years old so I would just ask the professor if th…
@klarascholtz0311 Charts come into play when the game pieces repeat; these types of games are categorized as 'GroupRep' on 7Sage: Disclaimer, not every GroupRep requires/is best done with a chart but this should be a good start.
I'd recommend doing…
@"jrose.smith" have you taken a cold diagnostic test yet? Though it's not essential, it might be a good place to start as it will give you a benchmark for your progress as you continue through the curriculum and then into practice tests. Also, if yo…
I agree with noonawoon.. any marginal benefit you might receive by boasting a .002 higher GPA, I think might be outweighed by any risk of seeming deceitful, however realistic the assumption that 3.918 is essentially the same as 3.92.
Especially sin…
The system calculates your target time based on collected data from top scorers and your actual time. The target time may have been missing on some questions because the system doesn't have enough data yet to generate a "target time".>
That …
@FindingSage @jmarmaduke96 thank you both for the well thought out answers and suggestions. It's great to know that there is not a one-size fits all method and that potentially, as your familiarity with the LSAT and standard LR forms increases (thro…
So much of the LSAT is psychological. If you're at the stage where there's room for improvement with the fundamentals then maybe try to take some of the pressure off; why not let yourself run-over the 35 minute mark when drilling LG sections?
I did…
I concur that this was a more difficult LR section than others that I have seen. I originally had supposed that it was nerves (since this was the first full length PT I’ve taken in a while) which, nevertheless, probably played some role. I think thi…
