  • Just wanted to say that I agree with @"Leah M B" about focusing on LG. First, I would go through the conditional logic lessons in the Core Curriculum and make sure you are good on sufficiency/necessity, contrapositives, negating the sufficient and s…

  • B seems really close. I think it is wrong because it talks about respect for basic rights (plural), but the argument only talks about freedom of speech. If it was arguing for basic rights of citizens for its own benefit I think the passage would tal…
  • I’ve heard Seattle in particular is a more difficult market to get into if you didn’t go to school there. However, I have a friend who went to school in AZ, worked for a few years for a firm in AZ, then transferred to a firm in Seattle.
  • @kstiffler09 Do you mean R and T have exactly one feature in common (not P) and R has more features than any other condo (not P)? You originally gave RQSTV as the condo pieces. I set it up as a chart. RQSTV going down and FHM up on top, with colu…
  • @wngdwaf_1 Long comment incoming... Phase 1 1) Take the diagnostic PT (timed, always timed) 2) Don't score it yet! (don't ever score a practice set, practice section, or practice test until you've reviewed the whole thing) 3) Blind review (this…
  • @lvandus One more note, since you are at the beginning of your prep. I recommend checking out the webinars in the resources tab and some of the early episodes with 170+ 7sagers on the 7sage podcast to really get a sense of the type of work and eff…
  • Not sure you'll be able to find reliable information because, while many students on 7sage and many other students who are just beginning their prep use June 2007 as their diagnostic, there are many others who take the test after they've already beg…
  • You need to make sure if you haven't done the whole core curriculum that you go through that. It sounds from your post like you only used the core curriculum for logic games. Since you've already begun working on games, start foolproofing. Do at lea…
  • @MIT_2017 said: @drbrown2 said: It’s based on 7Sage user data for those questions/sections So that means how users have scored on the questions, right? And not them self-reporting the difficulty. Correct. Not sure how big…
  • It’s based on 7Sage user data for those questions/sections
  • During the timed section you eliminate the losers and confirm your choice. You should circle if you aren’t close to 100% that your answer is right OR if you can’t figure out why an answer is wrong. Blind review is untimed so you can dive in deeper.…
  • @vernicelove D is consistent with new theory and counter to the old theory, thus strengthening the support for the new theory over the old. Old theory was that shell color was camouflage to protect against predators. Brown color shells for dark s…
  • @jermainepitts You could do every single LG, LR, and RC passage that has ever been released and see minimal improvements if your approach is wrong. I have not seen the Blueprint books, but I had the Powerscore Bibles and thought they were ineffect…
  • @vernicelove said: So, if there is no review for PT 1-16; how are we going to learn from what are mistakes are. Or would it be best for me to not do any LR sections from PT 1-16? You won't have a video explanation, but you may be better off…
  • @kpj744___ Make sure to check with your schools about how much students are allowed to work in 2L 3L years during the semester. Obviously if you can handle the workload of online instruction and 2nd/3rd year law classes, you could keep your benefi…
  • @"Madssssss L." said: If you don't mind sharing, what are your scores like? Not that my reception of your (incredible) advice changes based on the numbers, but curiosity is a killer. So my most recent scores are all 167-169 with a 171, bu…

  • I guess just do your best to alter your eating and sleeping habits now so you have time to adjust before the test. I work at night usually and had to adjust my entire schedule in the few weeks leading up to the November test so I was more alert and …
  • One more note on review... If you are able to record yourself with your phone doing a PT or a timed practice section, you can record how long it takes you to get through each question. Sometimes early questions in LR are not necessarily tricky and …

  • @"Madssssss L." said: And do you have any advice for nailing those 5 star questions? Some of them I answer no problem, but nevertheless the ones I am getting wrong (for example, on PT 77, which I just graded) are only 5 star ones. I think …

  • There are a few variations on how to go about it, but I recommend searching for @Pacifico's guide. Basically you print out a bunch of games and set a stopwatch on your first try. Once you've made your best attempt, try to figure it out or see if th…
  • D doesn't do anything to help our conclusion. How would light passing through the atmosphere provides the most heat for the atmosphere help us, when we are saying that more snow/ice = cooler atmosphere? I think that weakens our conclusion, since sun…
  • Reptiles vs. Warm-blooded animals The whole stimulus is presenting evidence that dinosaurs share all these features with warm blooded animals (hollow bones, room in mouth for breathing while eating, pattern of growth typical of warm blooded animals…
  • @psorci Keep doing those individual sections so you get used to the pacing and attention without the PT anxiety. Never score your sections or your test right away. I felt a small bit of anxiety before PTs that I really wanted to score high on, and…
  • When you BR do you review every question? In LR you should only BR questions you circle (not 100% sure about correct answer, or not 100% sure about eliminating incorrect answer). That way if you miss one you didn't BR, you can take special note of t…

  • @jlmorri2 said: Hi, I am due to take the July LSAT and I'm beginning to get so discouraged. Unable to afford the traditional study websites, I've chosen to self-study (like I'm sure many of you have) using 7Sage, Kahn, and books. The prob…
  • Yep! Access to every released PT.
  • Ok so first we need to look at the situation: Most people favor & violate rights Sub conclusion/MP: bill pass Why?: People who are negatively affected are powerful Taken together the first part of the stimulus supports the overall conclusion…
  • @Michael.Cinco Any updates? Was there a scheduling conflict or are we using the wrong link?
  • @Michael.Cinco Has the meeting launched? link says there is another meeting in progress
  • @alumivacui said: Just as the title says... when I go to resources I can only see an option to take the test digitally. I would rather have them saved as a PDF on my computer so I can go back to them and print them at a need be basis. Tests …
