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
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...
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
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
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.
Good to know that whenever you see two indicators in the same sentence (one of the indicators is ‘no one’, you should use the rule for the second indicator (such as ‘unless’ or ‘without’). It makes me wonder if the approach is still the same when one of the indicators is not ‘no one’. Curious to come across that lesson soon

Good luck Future Lawyers!
number 5 almost tripped me up but i realized the first sentence doesnt matter

@AlizaGGG you put me on thanks!

@Awoods22 It is under the chat section at the top right.

Please solve these questions consistently. Using forward slash and then crossing out the word, causes unnecessary confusion.
this was HARD
okay i finally get it
i do wish we had a drawing pen option on these
famous dragons being a creature is an assumption?
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
@MalakAbusoud This is exactly what I experienced.
oh nah were dialled
@Jashannnnnnn like bro T.T
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 had the same question. Watch this podcast on conditionals — it was really helpful to me.
@Paige thank you!
@Paige replying to come back later!
@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
once I have all the indicators memorized its pretty straight forward.
5/5 saying these outloud while applying the translation rule made me look crazy but it worked especially number 4
I get 5/5 but then the LSAT practice questions come up and I get those wrong :'(
if it says no one or something along those lines are we just crossing It out or negating it no matter what?
New voice
It starts to make sense, surprisingly.
Its really helpful to follow the rules. I have to memorize the trigger words
0/5 I gotta lock in on the suficent vs necessity
Dam! why am I not getting this
I keep mixing up each groups translation rules. I'm going to take some time to write these on flash cards and study them throughout the day.
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:

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.
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
Good to know that whenever you see two indicators in the same sentence (one of the indicators is ‘no one’, you should use the rule for the second indicator (such as ‘unless’ or ‘without’). It makes me wonder if the approach is still the same when one of the indicators is not ‘no one’. Curious to come across that lesson soon
@aikol.iva I had the exact same worry. I just asked a question to see if someone from the app would pop in and clarify.
If you've moved on further in the lessons since this comment, I'd love to know if you've gotten clarity on this!
@DevinLJ Hi! No clarity on this yet unless I just overlooked it
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.
