I would say decide depending on your PT and BR score and what your weakenesses are and where that result is in regards to your goal score. I took the test once, before I was ready, and since I haven't retaken it I can't say for sure whether the expe…

I think, in an ideal world, when you take your LSAT officially you should be going in knowing that you're averaging 3-5 points above your goal or minimum goal-score (if there's a certain range you're happy with) so that regardless of any curve-balls…

Congrats! Yeah, most other people don't really understood that the there are about 5000 steps involved in being ready for officially taking the test but I'm so glad you made this breakthrough! That confidence will help with speed and understanding o…

I started to take time off... since Tuesday. The first two days were spent feeling super guily but I was also thoroughly exhausted. I just started stalking the forums and help section on 7sage because I don't know what else to do without LSAT taking…

Omg I'm so honoured to be in the shout-outs, really makes me feel appreciated and that I'm not just commenting dumb, useless stuff haha. Congrats to everyone

Something that helps me has been writing down the structure of the stimulus as if it were a method of reasoning question. That way I'm able to describe the flaw in my own words, especially if it's not one of the common types. It's the same for paral…

I went to check after this post and I'm surprised that most GTA test areas are already full! So...unless it's Windsor or another province, guess we might have to wait till September? Or well, as the deadline approaches people will be withdrawing so …

I didn't do it as a major but I was in a two year fine arts program (sculpting, painting, life drawing) before switching for other reasons. Similar to what cutza7 has said, from the conversations I've had with admission directors in Canada, they se…

I've been reading a lot of Jane Austen recently. Currently reading The Shining by Stephen King. Read a lot of dry theory-based papers in undergrad so it's nice to have time to read novels again.
-
I think principle is "up" because we are given A->B and the AC supports/strengthens that by giving us A therefore B or an example of it; which in part strengthens the support for the argument provided in the stimulus. The "down" ones are those wh…
-
Method of Reasoning is something I've struggled with too and what I've found helpful is when I'm doing questions, no matter what type it is, I first describe what the method of reasoning the author employs before tackling the actual question. So for…

That's amazing, this is really motivating to hear! I hope you're feeling better; health is the most important thing.

@Emily2122 @westcoastbestcoast thanks guys! I'll do some untimed LR sections to if I still feel uncomfortable/figure out my weakenesses before doing timed.
-
Take a break maybe? Sounds like it could be burn out, even a couple days will help. If you feel like you're forgetting what you've already learned then try to go back and review, revisit some questions that gave you trouble and see whether you can f…
-
I do a similar thing except I write it out by hand in a notebook because I think that really forces me to come up with my thought process and go deeper through my analysis. It is supeeer time consuming though! But I keep telling myself it's worth it…
-
I took a six month break from the LSAT too to focus on finishing up my undergrad and I agree with Kermit that it's better to go through the CC first. Also, this way you might have forgottten the bad habits that you picked up (I know I did!) I found …

People keep asking "can I treat NA questions like MBT questions?" I'm not understanding what that treatment is. @C.M. Hethcox Well to answer this part it might simply be the case that when people are learning how to handle a new question type t…

I need to understand how to know if an Assumption Question is Sufficient or Necessary, but I still don't understand the "why" aspect if that makes sense As for the 'how,' the most basic answer would be the question stem. Necessary questions wil…
-
Congrats!!!
-
Agreed! It's also worth the upgrade just so you can see how your reasoning lines up with JY's (and others who comment) for each and every questions. Sometimes JY or a peer's analysis of a question will add a new dimension of understanding that I did…
-
Is it specific types of questions or just any questions that are over a certain difficulty? Do you get them right in BR or not? What's your BR process like? Do you write out your reasoning or just briefly think it through? Also, do you know why you …

I don't know much about the access/diversity categories but all I know is that for general admission you'd need at least a 160 to balance out your cGPA. I know that Osgoode is generally really good with taking into consideration other factors. Based…

It's not inspiring (?) but a personal favourite of mine is Spy starring Melissa McCarthy. Gotta go with a comedy to loosen up and take my mind off of anything LSAT related.

Hey, so for the first question the reason there is no inferred relationship between /Q and Y and similarly T and /Q is because the argument form looks like this: /Q -> W -> /R -m-> T -> Y The relationship between /Q and …
-
I agree with postponing, it seems like a great idea! I feel you on the age thing, it feels like once you've graduated you should be out there and beginning your desired career especially when your peers are. But ultimately, your path is your own reg…
-
@DByrne07 yes negation is denying the relationship. Off the top of my head, It's helpful for must be false and especially necessary assumption question types. In NA, the negation of the correct answer choice wrecks the conclusion/argument. So it's …

Saturday night?? That'll really cut into my social li...studies
-
@tanes256 so I briefly glanced at the two questions you asked about. For PT25, S2, Q14, if you had to label it it would be phenomenon and hypothesis. They are attracted to the web and the stimulus makes a conclusion as to why. Same with PT23, S2, Q1…
-
I'd advise for postponing. I took it last year, partly because everyone around me pressured me saying that I had "already been studying long enough" or that "you'll be fine" and whatever. These were all people who had never done LSAT related stuff. …

This seminar might be helpful, as it deals mainly with causation, correlation, and phenomenon for weaken and strengthen questions; https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/weaken-strengthen/
