Has anyone had to file a formal complaint with LSAC about tech issues/wanting to retake? I filed yesterday and I’m wondering how long until I hear back…the retest is less than a week away so I need to know soon…

Why is A the answer and not E?

I thought on the LSAT, it was one cause per effect, not multiple causes per effect. Why is the correct answer acceptable in this instance? Shouldn't bulging disks be the ONLY cause of pain and not one of multiple potential factors? And I'm also confused by the use of the term "sufficient." Is this "sufficient" as in the causal sufficient (enough to cause pain) or the conditional sufficient or both?

Bulging disks---> pain

Can anyone explain why A is correct and D isn't? It seems they are expressing the same thing (even though I know that can't be true)

Hi October test-takers,

We all took it, and hopefully some of you have a good memory: Can anyone point me towards similar games to that last one, the one with the duets and violin and piano(?) or was it guitar(?) players.

I'm pretty sure I bombed that section as it was my first after 45 minutes of ProctorU technical difficulties, but all the while on the other three games I was aware I was making dumb mistakes. On this one I was just lost. I'd like to tackle other games that are similar just to prep more and up my confidence for the November exam.

Can anyone help point me to them? Even #admin

Can someone clarify the following?

At least B as A: B≥A

At most B as A: B≤A

Or vice versa....?

I am getting confused so much! plz help!!! :D (3 Thank you 7sagers!(/p)

Helpppp

Why it’s A

I made a little infographic of the 6 flaws on Canva. These are the first 6 out of the 21 most common flaws. I am trying to change things up from simple flashcards, Canva is a great resource to make interactive study material. Hope it helps! Going to make the rest of the common flaws today using the same template on Canva or maybe a little bit different one, I am not sure yet. BTW, please ignore any minor grammatical errors, such as misplaced commas. I can definitely clean it up when I have time to do so!

Can someone explain to why answer choice B is incorrect for PT 91 Logic Game #1 Question 2? Why is answer choice C correct for this question? Thank you.

How do I find out what the answer is to this question? Where is the answer key?

I primarily got the base of my knowledge from LSAT Trainer and PowerScore books and came to 7sage for mainly LG but also to improve on LR to further boost my score. I've been going through certain sections and today I was going to go over the valid/invalid argument forms because I thought they were going to be more obvious LR related however all of these lessons about existential quantifiers have just confused me.

Not only do they take a concept which is intuitive for most people and turn it into a completely non intuitive form but I haven't seen a single direct application for this on the LSAT which makes it worth studying. I decided to google search this and figure out if it was work my time and came across this: https://www.thinkinglsat.com/post/ep-278-part-1-existential-quantifiers-crisis

The LSAT is full of jargon. Some of it useful, and some of it…not so much. What makes matters worse is that many LSAT prep companies confuse students’ understanding by building unnecessary complexities into the study process. In this episode, the guys hear from a listener who just can’t quite understand “existential quantifiers,” hard as he may try. The thing is: the guys have no idea what “existential quantifiers” even means—especially not in the context of the LSAT. Nathan and Ben do their best to bring clarity to this confused 1L hopeful. Plus Nathan advocates for doing more inquiring and less note taking, the guys hear about a life-changing 20-point improvement, and they offer up a PSA about talking and LSAT-ing.

Thoughts?

How is this done why it is not. Option c

Hi,

I’m currently at -10 in LR and want to get to at least -5 before the Jan exam

to reach my goal. What would be the easiest and quickest method to do that? I have just started with reading the loophole but it seems like going over it will eat into a lot of my precious time and I don’t know if it’s worth it or if I have enough time to try new LR strategies at this point. Any tips?

My weak areas seems to be parallel flaw, method reasoning and necessary assumption questions. I think I struggle most with negation and writing out the lawgic in a timed practice test. Any suggestions about how to improve these areas would also be helpful. Thanks!! :)

Hello,

Could anyone share the range of time slots? I just want to know the options beforehand!

Stay safe!

So the valid argument forms are used for MBT, SA questions and logic games only or am I missing something else? Also what about existential quantifiers? Will we mostly see them on logic games only? I went through all the games and I am guessing that they will be mostly on grouping and in/out games.

AM Times went super fast so hurry! I thought the earliest we could take the test was the 21st, but apparently the 14-17 is available Whooo hooo!

I don't get why the games are difficult for me. I've done a lot of Sudoku in the past which is similar to the games, in terms of figuring out placements and sequences so I assumed Logic Games would be alike to that. Every time I do a logic game, I get an average score and understand the explanation but still do average on the next problem set. Does anyone have any tips for knocking these questions out?

How did I get this wrong? Is there a way something explains this to me?

I have no idea what C is trying to say, and no clue how can C be the answer that provides an alternative explanation to why the scientists are discrediting Smith. Can someone give an explanation? Thanks

My understanding is that in normal times, water vapor from ocean contains a heavier proportion of oxygen-18. However, if that water vapor is not retuning to the Ocean during ice ages, but getting trapped in glaciers, wouldn't that mean the ocean has LESS o-18? I guess I'm assuming the water vapor is taking O-18 out of the ocean. But even if that's not assumed, what warrant do we have to say the ocean has more O-18 than usual?

Can someone explain why B can't be a good answer? My logic was that everyone that reads the book agreeing that the incidents could happen, i.e. not implausible, doesn't mean that the story isn't implausible since they can well interpret it wrong.

I couldn't shake the thought off my mind that the conclusion is "matters pertaining to conservation of topsoil have been ignored for long". The given answer is E, which is a suggestion and I don't see how that's the conclusion. #help

I don't understand how D weakens the argument .Can someone please explain?

Hey all!

I've been working really hard on LR and am seeing a lot of improvement so far, however one area that I am still having a lot of difficulty with is in flaw questions...

I have been practicing with the two step test when I can't identify the flaw, but for whatever reason I find it very easy to gaslight my own reasoning with these wrong answer choices, than in comparison to other question types' wrong answer choices.

Any advice on being able to find the right answer even when you don't spot the flaw would be much appreciated!
