Hi,

What is the difference between premise indicator vs. context? The way I understood was that context are just additional info to lead up to the premise.

Hi, so I've been done the LR section of the curriculum for a while now, and LR is pretty much my best section at the moment, but I have always wondered one question and it's whether or not mapping out hard 5 star LR questions like MBT or parallel method of reasoning is a good habit during PTs and even on test days. JY has typically said to be able to manage it in one's head from what I remember, but I wanna hear if anyone thinks otherwise. This would be on the given scrap paper, obviously.

Hi guys, I took the November Lsat and I’ve just been stressed about not getting the score I was anticipating. If that is the case, do you think the February lsat is too late to take it?

Ok so in my November Lsat I kept seeing this weird question stem that I have not seen anywhere before?

I don't really recall the exact wording but it was something like which one of the following could be true but may not be?? something along those lines? It was kind of combining two question stems together? I'm not sure if anyone knows the question stems I'm talking about but if you do please help a man out.

Thanks

Hi everyone! I just took five practice questions and for PT B, section 4, question 25. If anyone has this question open or has worked on it recently, I'd greatly appreciate the help!

I selected D but the answer choice was A, I'm not understanding how the answer ended up being that both towns are comparable in living cost/price. How is this the main point?? Thank you very much in advance :)

Hi! I'm trying to study logic games by type (ie. In/Out., Grouping, Linear, etc.). Is there a resource where the games for PTs 1-93 are comprehensively sorted? Thanks

So, for questions that the answer choices have 'one' in them>>>

Example

"The end of an action is the intended outcome of the action and not a mere by-product of the action, and the end's value is thus the only reason for the action."

When I attacked this one, I eliminated the choices that had "One can" in them because I didn't think that was the subject of the conclusion.

Can anyone explain how to approach answer choices with that ("one can") in them, and why I need to be able to decipher what the choice is really summarizing about the conclusion?

Is there a stimulus to know that one of these types of choices will be correct?

I just understand the mindset I should have towards questions like these. These are some of the more difficult type LR questions (174 was the cap on the gray scale).

Much appreciated!

Please help!

Whats your study plan for January?

Please help, I am having trouble understanding why A is wrong. We know that dietary changes --affect--> high cholesterol ---correlates / causes ---> heart disease, and we know that dietary changes don't affect lipoprotein(a). So the fact that the argument fails to consider the possibility that lipoprotein(a) raises cholesterol levels seems like a flaw to me because we can't conclude there is no reason for people to make dietary changes for preventing heart disease.

This is my line of reasoning: if lipoprotein(a) raises cholesterol level, which is affected by dietary changes, then we can't conclude "there is no reason to make dietary changes for preventing heart disease" because we know dietary changes affect cholesterol level which in turn is correlated with heart disease. Basically, if lipoprotein raises cholesterol levels, then people might want to change their diet and stop consuming foods that contain lipoprotein. I watched the explanation video many times, and I still don't understand why A is irrelevant.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!

I saw in the video that JY recommended us to "circle" the wrong answers for "except" questions during paper tests. For online test, would you recommend any substitute method?

What I was more confused about is how to avoid choose the opposite choice for "except" questions and if there is a special tactic for the "except" questions.

I know many people have said the pts in the 80's LR are more difficult. I do feel like they are, but even if they are more difficult they feel different. My question is how do I approach LR in the 80's. I scored -9 in pt 80 and 81 and -6 in the 70's. PLEASE HELP :((((

Why is AC E wrong?

On ordering games where a rule says x is lower than y, does that mean x is less than y? For example, if there are 6 slots, if y is 2 then x is 1 right? Or did I just completely bomb the November exam LOL.

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in January 2023, yet I'm not finished with the core curriculum. Should I still take it regardless if I finish? This will be my first time taking the LSAT.

Recently in tests, with regards to the LR section, I've been scoring perfect or near perfect on all the four-star/five-star "curve breaker" questions, though been getting some three star and two star questions wrong, and on the occasion a one-star question too. What could the possible cause be you think? Seems like an odd pattern I want to fix as I really think I can master LR once I fix this issue. Note, I almost always get more 3 star and 2 star questions wrong than 4/5 star questions.

I NEVER thought I would get to the point of actually being interested in the test just for the sake of information but here I am. 🤡

There was a really interesting LR question on the November test about a bird that makes a high-pitched warning call... Does anyone remember what kind of bird it was?? I genuinely want to look it up!

I was so frustrated when the proctor unmuted his mic and told me to "stand up!" I then told him no because I was taking my test and the time was ticking, in which he replied "okay, sorry." I lost my train of thought while working on a logic game and had to start over. As a result, I was not able to finish the last two questions of that section which left me frustrated throughout the rest of the exam.

Will I be able to re-take the LSAT?

Hey 7Sagers,

Good luck to everyone taking the November LSAT!

**Please keep all discussions of the November 2022 LSAT here!**(/red)

Hey everybody! Tomorrow/the day after is game day! Good luck. I'm rooting for you. What are you going to do today to relax/get ready? Personally, I'm gonna take one last mini-drill (a logic game, a reading passage, and 5 LR Q's) then go on a hike or get into nature, workout, maybe game a bit, etc. I'm proud of the work I've done, and you should be too. We're all going to make it. I will be sending out big-brain vibes to you all tomorrow.

Starting next week I will be taking two PTs a week. How far back should I go with the tests to prepare for the january test?

I'm getting most if not all of these wrong. Can anyone suggest strategies on what I can do to improve?

Hi! I recently did the drill for the weakening section and saw that two of my questions were pulled from PrepTest A and didn't have explanation videos. I noticed on the explanation videos tab there was a "Test A February 1996", but that there are only explanations for logic games. What makes PrepTest A different from other tests? Are the explanations somewhere else?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any tips for these questions? I tend to have to work through each answer choice to see if it would have a similar effect to the removed condition but that is lengthy and doesn't always produce a must be true answer for me.
