@quinnxzhang has very elegantly shown that "many" is not equal to "some". And he (she?) also acknowledged that for LSAT purposes it might be the case that the existential component of both is the only one that matters, so for all LSAT intents and p…

@dcdcdcdcdc you got it! Your edit is an example of how one should go about BR. Dig in until you understand why an answer is right or wrong, rather than justify your own opinion that it isn't necessarily so.

I think @BruiserWoods and @danielznelson are giving solid advice. A strategy based on skipping after you've read and assessed the question is going to be more productive than one based on question number alone. As for the last few questions being …

Thanks for sharing @IPmummySF! We can add "prestigious STEM PhD" to the list of strong softs!

The first rule is just a "fake conditional". Their statement that "if two are in the third has to be out" is just a fancy, confusing way of saying "a maximum of two are in". If you were to have three in, that would trigger the rule, because three b…

@"Nilesh S" Wow, that's an impressive resume! I don't think even a 180 on the LSAT would make up the difference between my softs and yours, but I'm going to tell myself that you're an example of the sufficient not the necessary. Thank you so much fo…

Yeah, what @danielznelson said. Keep going over the games you've not done in a while. Not just mechanically, but approach them with the intention to solve them the best you can. You'd be amazed that you can "see" new things on a game you've done …

High five indeed! Just from the great and insightful answers you've been providing for the last few months one could tell the 180 was just a matter of time! Take some time to celebrate - you have plenty of time to September and you're on the way to …

I've not been able to find a definitive answer on how much of a handicap the lack of a UGPA presents for admission to top schools. Maybe @IPmummySF and @"Nilesh S" who I believe are two 7Sage people with international undergraduate degrees to get i…

Hi @acta_non_verba I remember you mentioning a few months ago that you were having trouble with the games. How is that going? If you're still missing a few points in the games, I would add drilling a couple of sections of games a day to whatever yo…

@"J.Y. Ping" You da man!

@BruiserWoods said: First, I always go straight back to the "hard" ones instead of going back through the easy ones first. I circle the ones where I think I have the right answer but I'm not positive and I add a square to the ones where I have no…

Yes! Usually the rules are such that one of the big inferences (and one likely to miss otherwise) is that you'll end up with one of the elements in that subcategory having to always be "in" (because they usually add some sort of "not both" rule). An…

I don't think "SOME" is a very reliable indicator of whether an answer weakens an argument or not. It's not so much about the presence of SOME, but about the rest of the answer and how it relates to the argument. I'll try to give you an example (be…

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Literally never stapled a single PT—not even once. Y'all superpreppers Mine always end up scattered on the floor in the absence of staples. I actually dislike the new games layout, because now I have to staple…

I'm going to add to the peer pressure. I can't really see any good reason why you'd want to take June, other than "I said to myself I'd do it no matter what". You're not scoring where you want to be, you're not confident in the study program you'r…

Try to visit the small center before the deadline and if the desks are good, switch. As for binding, if you don't have access to a commercial printer that staples, you can use three staples (top, middle and bottom) to bind your double sided pages t…

Thank you 7Sage and all of you fellow chatterboxes for making this forum my favorite internet stop!

For a passage, it's unlikely that a misinterpretation could cause you to answer more than two questions wrong, so you could finish the remaining questions with your new understanding and if you have time go back and fix the questions affected by the…
-
To add to @"Ron Swanson"'s explanation - any objective difference in difficulty between PT's is theoretically accounted for in the grading curve for that particular PT. PT 62 has a generous curve, so the questions are likely slightly more difficult…

I think this is a very valid strategy for the people who tend to lose sight of the "forest" when they are too focused on underlining the "trees". It won't work for everybody, so I would advise anyone who wants to give it a try to do so well before t…
-
Let me see if I understood this correctly. You have Ax, Bx, Cx and Dy, Ey and Fy. Only one x can be "in". You also have Dy-->Ax Ey-->Bx. You are asking if it's correct that Ey-->/Dy ------------------------------------- Yes. Because you …
-
The advice above is spot on. I'd add that for a lot of people it helps to read the question first. This will guide what you need to think about when you read the stimulus. You can't aimlessly read the stimulus - your job is to focus on the key poi…

Hi @ashkoley The game you are talking about is definitely not a real LSAT game (not from one of the US released Practice Tests, including PTs 1-77, PTA, PTB, PTC, PTC2, June 07). The book only has 12 real LSAT games, from PT's 46-48, the rest of …

@rachel said: I'm curious if caffeine pills have less potential for stomach issues than does coffee. If I drink too much coffee, there are issues. Would pills minimize this effect? I don't know if you were referring strictly to stomach…

I'd just throw those rules on the board - I'd put G and H to the right of the front row, with an arrow pointed at it (that to me means that "if" they are assigned, that's where they go; without an arrow in would mean that they are always assigned an…

@quinnxzhang said: I don't think the difference between a 175 and a 180 is luck alone. Certainly, luck does play a role on test day, but PTing consistently in the 179-180 range (which is definitely possible) vs. PTing consistently in the 174-175 ra…

@7JRBG180 said: Also, I'm assuming that the only time that "or" is not inclusive is when they specifically say "not both"? This might be obvious, but the other instance where "or" is not inclusive is when either laws of nature or other rules/games…

I would probably focus on tightening up the LR. Your LG and RC are already close to perfect, and I agree with Nicole - for the vast majority of people the difference between a -1/-2 and a -0 on LR (combined) and RC is going to come down to luck. …
