"On the LSAT, the word "many" just means "some". - http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/many-some/

172, Yale. I'd also be happy at Harvard or Stanford.

@nicole.hopkins said: "A number of us here are graduates of the "major Ivies" (HYP). Guess what. It's hard for us, too. Really hard. Stupid hard. Brilliantly hard. Harder than undergrad. Much harder!" I don't know. Cornell was pretty darn tough. …

I aimed for about 3 minutes a passage, hoping to have at least an 80-90% grasp on what I was reading. If there was a certain line or paragraph that was particularly confusing I would avoid getting trapped, but otherwise I read looking to know what t…

One final tip: DO NOT WASTE PTs before getting the 7Sage curriculum down pat! If you're scoring below 160 I would say that you're better off working through 7sage material than wasting PTs. I spent a month making sure I had a thorough understanding …
-
Also: I would recommend having at least one day between each PT. I would take a PT one day and BR it the next day. PTing and BRing the same day seems inefficient from a learning standpoint. Your mind will be too weary to really benefit from the BRin…
-
I attempted a similar feat. I worked from 9-75. With the benefit of hindsight, I would've liked to adjust my preparation to include less PTs and more areas of specific focus. While taking PTs gave me an amazing intuition and stamina for the test, f…

You already have the tools necessary to start. Start with that and put in at least month of hard work before you buy other material. There is no magical book that will help you ace this test so just get to work.
-
I am not going to entertain your self-pity because I am certain that would be detrimental to you. This test is difficult. You will need a strong mental attitude and a sustained work ethic to do well. Based on your GPA, I infer that you likely posses…

"You are not in Kansas anymore. You are on LSAT-dora, ladies and gentlemen. Respect that fact every second of every day. If there is a Hell, you might wanna go there for some R & R after a tour on LSAT-dora. Out there beyond that fence every ans…

I took tests ranging from 9-75 and can assure you there's no drastic change. It's the same test with only subtle updates in how precise the language is. The games also fluctuate from non-formulaic (on the older exams) to formulaic ~40-64is, to less …
-
Example to clarify: Let's say you have 100 million consumers of gas in the US. Now suppose that a teenager just bought a new car and needs gas for it. Demand has now risen to 100,000,001. Despite the fact that demand has "risen" it is very unlikely…
-
The "premises" for this argument are just statements of fact. 1. Gov policies increased demand 2. Increased demand caused increase prices Conclusion: Gov responsible for increased prices Negation Test for (C): Even if gas prices DO NOT always ris…

I am from Dallas and have drove through Waco a few times. There is nothing in Waco.

I did them chronologically for the most part (from 9-73 -- I didn't do all of them but that was my range). The older ones prepared me for the logic games better while the newer ones helped me refine LR and RC. I wouldn't do more than 4 PTs a week f…
-
People get different experimental sections and it comes at different times (some might get it first, others third, others last, etc.) -How much harder/easier is this section? Do you know right away? You really don't have a clue until it's over.…
-
I'd take those scores with a grain of salt. Re-taking a prep test almost certainly inflates your score-- It might be good as a way of reinforcing fundamentals and skills, but it is not a good proxy for the real thing.That's because re-taking prep t…
-
My tips: 1) Get the sequencing and grouping game fundamentals down pat. Most of these are cookie-cutter and you need to whiz through them in 4-6 min each to leave you with the 8-13 minutes you'll need for each of the harder a games. 2) Don't get s…
-
@brna0714 and @Pacifico are on point. Skipping around could cost you on test-day (bubbling issues). Read with a curious mind and always think about what points the author is trying to make. I also found interacting with the passage by circling, unde…
-
POE for LR and RC is the optimal strategy. No doubt about it.
-
The schedule that worked for me was: 3 PTs a week, one every other day. On the in-between days I would BR. If I noticed that one sort of problem (i.e. Necessary Assumptions) was giving me problems I would drill that, but otherwise not.
-
The new ones have clearer writing but my PT average dropped about 2 points compared to the older ones. They all reinforce the same concepts and the difficulty of the old Logic Games are great for prep.
-
I feel like it will affect your attitude while BR. I wouldn't recommend it.
-
Necessary assumptions are subtle but crucial. The number one way LSAT writers will try to trick you on these questions is by fooling you into picking a sufficient assumption. The best strategy is to negate the answer choices and see what happens…
-
My advice: Work through the 7sage curriculum for 4-6weeks. Get it down pat. Then take a practice test under simulated test day conditions. Go take a break, exercise, socialize, etc. The next day, blind review your test. Focus on learning at least …
-
Word of caution: Beware of burning out before test day! This almost happen to me, but, luckily, final exams forced me into a two week break from LSAT material. My study schedule was 3 hours a day for 5-6 days a week. I studied about 5 months total…
-
My advice: The answer choices are not your friend! Use POE to eliminate the dirty bastards. It is, by far, the best strategy to doing well on LR. There are too many tempting answer choices to choose from. Look for reasons to disqualify an answe cho…
-
In my mind I don't come up with an elaborate scenario but I do immediately question the assumption the argument makes. For example, in your argument: Does holding a cup of a water automatically mean I'm thirsty? No. Not at all. Maybe I was given t…

I wrote it on the first page so that I had the rules close by and then QUICKLY copied it on to the second page near the questions. Copying it down had the added benefit of becoming even more familiar with my game board. Just write quickly!

I'd really love to see the videos for the butterfly, rockets and coffee/tea LR questions.
