5/5. But here’s what I’ll say. Six months ago I went 2/5. Two months ago I went 3/5. This test is really hard, and it takes time, and time alone, to improve. If you feel discouraged, beaten up, or like you want to curl into a ball and do anything else, trust me, I have been there. It does get better. One piece of advice. Depending on your timeline, try to move at a pace that lets you actually learn. My biggest regret in my studying journey was trying to plow through lessons just to be “done studying for the week.” I highly recommend slowing down. It’s way more about quality than quantity. I hope this tangent helps someone. I seriously mean it. If this made your brain hurt, you are not alone. Take a break, go outside, then try again in an hour. Do not just click next lesson.
I was really struggling with this so I used the new AI tool to ask for more practice questions. One of my issues with this 7sage course in general is that the practice exercises are great but there were never enough of them. the built in AI (under chats) is a great solution.
To anyone who needs more practice, 7sages AI bot is really good at making worksheets. I would highly recommend using this and drilling again and again until translations are second nature.
@AlizaGGG I am new here and still learning the ropes. Where is the AI bot? This can def come in handy! Because I do want more practice to get it programmed in my head
i got 5/5 really easily, but i just don't see how this will click for me while i'm taking a test. whenever i try to diagram while taking a PT, it takes too much time and contrarily confuses me even more. what do i do???
@yam i think the idea is that recognizing these patterns will eventually become second nature while reading LSAT questions. the "translation" happens in your head
2 feels weird. At no points does it say that dragons are creatures so to me the first part cant be chained unless I make the assumption that dragons are creatures
Ahhh I see now. So in question 3, it has the statement, "No one can venture into Mordor unless they are brave," which has two negation indicators in one clause. In this case, unless is a group 3 indicator and no is a group 4 indicator, so you'd just negate both like so:
/brave > /mordor
contraposes to
mordor > brave
So in English terms, this is the stimulus: If someone carries the One Ring, they will venture into Mordor. No one can venture into Mordor unless they are brave.
not a big fan of the inconsistent Lawgic ? Feel like my brain's been trained the last several sessions with using the forward slash (/) to negate a clause and now all of a sudden the lessons are crossing out words to indicate that same thing...

Good luck Future Lawyers!
number 5 almost tripped me up but i realized the first sentence doesnt matter
I was tripped up because I didn't realize it's context; the "some" blinded me.

@AlizaGGG you put me on thanks!

@Awoods22 It is under the chat section at the top right.
what did you ask chat for the practice questions?
this was HARD
okay i finally get it
i do wish we had a drawing pen option on these

@yam I had the same question. Watch this podcast on conditionals — it was really helpful to me.
@Paige thank you!
@Paige replying to come back later!

oh nah were dialled
@Jashannnnnnn like bro T.T
I get 5/5 but then the LSAT practice questions come up and I get those wrong :'(
once I have all the indicators memorized its pretty straight forward.
Please solve these questions consistently. Using forward slash and then crossing out the word, causes unnecessary confusion.
5/5 saying these outloud while applying the translation rule made me look crazy but it worked especially number 4

famous dragons being a creature is an assumption?
this tripped me up too

@MalakAbusoud This is exactly what I experienced.
0/5 I gotta lock in on the suficent vs necessity
Dam! why am I not getting this

This is Lawgic:
One Ring > Mordor
/brave > /Mordor
contraposes to
Mordor > brave
Chained conditional:
One Ring > Mordor > Brave
/Brave > /Mordor > /One Ring
@jaydenca You can also use these same rules for Question #5
if it says no one or something along those lines are we just crossing It out or negating it no matter what?
Do you always watch the videos even if your answers are right?
@AmandaMorris02 I do. I think I'm just trying to make sure that I understand why I got it right.
Love how the examples always use dorky stuff, makes it so much easier to follow lol.
@CarlosHernandez03 they know their audience!!
I finally got all 5/5 right!! :)
It starts to make sense, surprisingly.
Its really helpful to follow the rules. I have to memorize the trigger words
