@nicole.hopkins each book in your gravatar is made up of different colors, so your gravatar is made up of different colors?

@nicole.hopkins said: Well! You can always Google. Agreed. Most often, a simple search with lsat and the beginning of the stimulus will lead you straight to the question. For example, try searching "lsat rifka: we do not need". Google just told m…

@nicole.hopkins I can't wait for your experimental section to be mathematical reasoning (and for new LSAT students, no this is not possible lol. Just imagining someone casually reading these posts, freaking out, and rushing to brush up on …

@nicole.hopkins said: @Pacifico said: 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, and 51 is six tests... STOP IT ok you caught me ... maths is hard ... Did this just turn into an SAT prep forum too! Lol the college board loves that kind of question
-
Hey @Suhani28! Are you sure you are listing the correct question, about people preferring colors they can distinguish easily and infant toys? That question is PT24, S2, Q2, and the correct answer is D, not C. If so, we know that all people prefer …

@DumbHollywoodActor said: I think you’re probably right. This LSAT tends to bring out a lot of logomachy! @DumbHollywoodActor haha true that! And shoutout to dictionary.com word of the day for finally giving me a useful (if slightly pretentious) …

For those into longform science-y articles, here's an interesting one about itching and the science of perception: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2008/06/30/the-itch

@DumbHollywoodActor said: To say that practicing that skill is unnecessary seems illogical to me. I never said that practicing that skill is unnecessary; in fact I think it is absolutely necessary. But I think that skill is inherently developed an…

@ehoya said: My first bit of confusion was over how the author jumped from the quantity and effectiveness of the dosage to a rebate increasing (or failing to increase) sales. Are we supposed to assume that had an increase in the dosage improved its…

@DumbHollywoodActor said: Furthermore, in PT 69, JY’s videos all show JY moving on after a 1:20 and coming back at the end. You can call it confidence all you want, but at the end of the day, you and he are making a strategic decision for the sake …

Thanks for the help! Trying to decide on a topic and have a few ideas. One more question: is it possible to write an essay about a certain topic without it being grounded in direct experience?
-
Would an essay about a college athlete overcoming injuries/setbacks be viewed as cliché? It feels like a natural fit because of how much you put into sports in order to get to that level, but I don't know if it's overdone.
-
Timing is directly related to how well you know the fundamentals. So if you are only finishing around half of the section, then your fundamentals aren't where you need them to be. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you can start to improve your…
-
Focus on your thought process with these questions (and with all questions, really). Are you correctly identifying the conclusion? Are you correctly diagnosing the flaw? If these two skills aren't rock solid, then you're invariably going to have a d…
-
Always always always identify the conclusion and the support and ask yourself "why doesn't this add up?" A valid argument is something that must be 100% true, and on the LSAT, as in life, this is a difficult standard to meet. A lot of times the answ…

@nicole.hopkins Haha that tattoo sounds like a decision one would only make after having too many mangoritas during a blind review session
-
@"J.Y. Ping" thanks for the shoutout! I'm just happy I can contribute to this awesome 7sage community!
-
Yup, definitely use the negation method. It really helps you to see why something is "necessary." Also something to note: a necessary assumption doesn't have to strengthen an argument, so you may be having a tough time with these questions because…
-
@nye8870 yea I used to feel pretty overwhelmed by the RC section because of time issues, so just keep at it and you'll get a better feel for the passages! Just don't get too bogged down in the details. Look for underlying relationships such as how a…
-
@nye8870 the idea is to really digest and comprehend the material up front so that the questions are much easier to go through. This approach really minimizes the amount of time spent on the questions. If you spend 3:30 on each passage reading, that…
-
Send a quick message to @nicole.hopkins! She's our fearless BR leader. Also, no need to do the tests in order; you'll get just as much out of them by skipping around. That said, if you want to leave the 70s tests for later in your review, then just …
-
It sounds like you would definitely benefit from using POE to confirm both incorrect and correct answers. If you aren't eliminating answers just by the process of going through them, then it would be hard to have confidence in the answer you are sel…
-
The Security Council is making the argument that the P5 nations have veto power because, as the major powers, they have the responsibility to maintain peace and it would be unfair to require major powers to assume this burden in situations they find…
-
I personally read the stimulus first. I don't think there is truly a different way to read the stimuli based on question type. Here me out: if your reasoning skills are strong enough then you should know right away when a stimulus is just a set of f…
-
Reading speed isn't necessarily as important as having a good understanding of the passage. You need to average 8 minutes and 45 sec for each passage in order to finish in 35 minutes, so just find a comfortable speed that fits within these constrain…
-
Yea, definitely read the whole thing. The risk/reward of not reading both statements isn't worth it. By saving 15-20 seconds you are sacrificing the context that may be necessary to fully understanding the second author's response.
-
For schools that have rolling admissions, the earlier you apply the better. So, in that sense, the October test is preferable to Decemeber. Some schools have scholarship/aid deadlines as well so that is something to look into for the schools you are…

@amipp93 or you can get it so you can decode @nicole.hopkins's gifs lol
-
So the question is asking us which hypothesis would be most undermined based on the facts in the stimulus. We are told that deaf babies with deaf parents begin to make hand gestures that constitute babbling at about the same age as hearing babies st…

Retaking is definitely beneficial and really humbles you. Perfect example is this unicorn/centaur question on PT52. I've seen this question before a long time ago while drilling, got it wrong then and got it wrong yesterday too. Proof that there is …
