If I write my writing section after I take the LSAT next week will that delay me getting my scores back the day they says scores are released? (August 30th)? I need to see my score to see if I will be retaking in October and August 30th is the last day to register for October? I am trying to prioritize my studying this week and not focus on the writing.

Consider the following statement: A good apple is a ripe apple, and an apple will not be picked unless it is ripe.

We can come up with two diagrams here: 1) picked apple --> ripe apple 2) good apple --> ripe apple

I understand it is not possible to form a conditional chain in this case. However, is it possible to say: picked apple + good apple --> ripe apple?

I am asking this question because the answer to this question requires me to understand that we can say -ripe -> -good + - picked. Could you explain both statements using + to me? Thank you.

Sharing this on behalf of a fellow 7Sage user. Any help and answers would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in October or November or even both, and I've done prep tests 1-6. I know the earlier prep tests aren't exactly representative of what the modern tests are like, so which ones should I do from now until then? Any feedback is appreciated :)

Hi everyone! I have a 9-5 job, and do timed sections every day with review from 6:00 am to 8:20 am.

I’m new to 7Sage, and there are a variety of ways to study, but I’m not sure what the best way to study is. I’ve read the LSAT Trainer, and ran through LSAT Demon’s lessons on the LSAT but now since i’m on 7Sage, do I go through all the concepts regarding the lessons or do I continued to do timed sections with blind review and watch all the explanations and take notes? #help

Hello! May someone give me advice on how to diagram a sentence that has both no and until in it? For example: No dog can go until their owners leave.

For the No, u would negate the necessary, but for the until, u negate the sufficient, so I am confused. Thank you!!

Hello,

I am aiming to take the November LSAT. My highest PT was a 145 untimed. After trying different study courses, I feel lost on where to pick back up. My worst section is logic games, mainly scoring (-12+). I am constantly hovering around (-12) on each of the other sections. Every time I hunker down on a specific things, I think about how behind I am on other topics. It really interferes with getting work done. I have underestimated this test up to this point. I am ready to commit to a serious study schedule.

Hi guys! I have done a lot of research but I wanted to make sure what I am doing regarding the writing sample is okay!

I am signed up for the LSAT next week (pray for me). I know the writing sample opened already, but I want to focus on studying for the test and wait to worry about the writing section until after. I know not completing the writing sample ASAP may release your score later (but in my particular situation I am not in any rush to get my score back). SO, is it okay to start studying for the writing sample, and then take the writing sample a week or two after my actual test? I am just a bit confused if there is an actual deadline for completing the sample. Does anyone know any information about this? Thanks so much!

Can someone explain why the answer is correct. I understand that it’s right but I also could justify C as well.

I originally chose A but thought D aligned better with the last paragraph of the passage so switched to D. I can see how A is correct, but I'm still confused on how D is wrong. Could anyone please help? Thanks!

Hi all,

For logic games, I am constructing a game board for the conditionals and inferences just like JY does. My question is, for the questions, are you writing out new game boards and glancing at the conditionals? Let's say in a question they ask that if X person is placed on the 3rd spot, what could be true about where Y is placed, do you write over your original game board or write out a new one next to the question?

I usually select and copy the game board on my iPad next to the question, but I know I won't be able to do this when test day comes.

I'm trying to find the most time efficient way to do this. Thank you!

I understand that the fossils were discovered essentially backwards, in that as they discovered more fossils over the centuries they found more and more older fossils.

How is B analogous to that?

Say you swapped "fatalities" to "head injuries" in AC D, would this constitute a necessary assumption? My feeling is probably no because it was never mentioned how many injuries, proportionally, were prevented by the new laws for motorcycle helmets, only that some were prevented. Head injury was also never mentioned as the most common injury for motorcycle riders. Please let me know if I am wrong!

If it's an MBT question on Logic Games and you are trying to figure out which answer choice works in all the worlds you created… if it works for one sub-gameboard/ world does it automatically work for all?

So I've made significant improvements to my LR (which is a win in itself). My basic method for doing this was 1.Do 10 random questions. If any wrong, drill that type of question at least 30 times until I mastered it. For example, if I got 1 flaw question wrong from that origInal set of 10, I did 30 more flaw questions until I got them all down. While this took a ton of time, it got me from -6-8 to-1-3 pretty consistently.

My question is, how in the world do I drill RC? I can't seem to find a good way to improve. Does anyone have any recommendations? Is it from doing a bunch of untimed RC's? Only drilling certain questions? I can't seem to figure it out.

If anyone has any tips, I'm all ears.

Thanks!

Hi! What are strategies for improving speed with logical reasoning? When I start timed sessions, I become anxious and often have to reread, but when I take my time I'm usually able to get the answer correct. Anyone else have this problem? Does this just go away after doing tons of practice questions? Thanks! #plshelp

I am confused by this question. I selected A as the answer when drilling and during blind review. During blind review I was hesitant and wanted to select C (which is the correct answer). Clearly, I do not understand this question fully and I can sort of make sense of it on my own but would love insight and a clear explanation.

Can someone go through this question and explain their thought process?

I think I was thrown off by this for two reasons. First, I was uncomfortable drawing the conclusion that Self Help books -> less visits and secondly, in the answer choices what "state of affairs" was referring to exactly?

Hi!

I was wondering,

How come we can use the same notation A -> notB to represent both cases of:

when in the first scenario, it means at least one of them, A/B has to be in the OUT group,

but for the second scenario, it means that it's either A in Group 1 and B in Group 2, or vice versa,

instead of A/B in Group 1 (or 2).

Basically, I would like to know why we can use the same notation for two scenarios that end up in different assignments.

Thanks in advance for your help!! :)

Hello!

I'm wondering if there are any lessons on these specific RC question types?

(1) Inference

(2) Inference -Author's Perspective

(3) Recognition -What's Stated

Can someone explain what these question types are asking us to do, and if you have any tips on how to identify the right AC? Has anyone recognized any wrong AC patterns when it comes to these question types?

Thanks so much!

I am confused here. I understand why the first part of A is correct. But, in regard to the second part of A, weren't the people who benefitted from the reforms the elites according to the passage?

Can anyone explain why C is the correct answer here?

I believe (C) is correct because it is the contrastive of this argument: "For one to act Responsibly..." ---> "Act on the basis of information that one has made...."

So ultimately, because "Toril act on basis of information that...." ---> "Toril act act responsibly"

Just want to make sure I'm thinking about this correctly. Thanks!

Can anyone explain the lawgic behind this question?

Could someone explain why A is the answer? In the passage, the idea of "indifference toward offspring as a defense mechanism against establishing close ties with infants unlikely to survive" was mentioned in the first paragraph and not in relation to Shahar's actual work.

Shahar does explain that parents did feel affection for their children though, but he doesn't mention anything about the fact that many infants were unlikely to survive. That's why I said A was not answered.

However, is it enough that Shahar's work says parents felt affection for their children to say that he answered the question posed by A? I wasn't sure how important the "spite of the fact that many infants were unlikely to survive" part was.

Thanks.

Let's say neither G nor K are in row 1. Does that mean these are the possibilities: G is not in row 1, or K is not in row 1, or both G and K are not in row 1? Could we have a situation where G is in row 2 and K could be in row 1? So if only one of the conditions are met, then the other item could or could not be in row 1?

I came across this type of logic in a logic game and got confused...

I was a little confused on why C is incorrect. The computer scientists simply say that they think they can make AI by encapsulating the information contained in the human genome. Then the Biologist talks about the operations of the human brain.

I interpreted this as sort of an analogy or something, as it doesn't say that the computer scientists are explicitly trying to model the AI after the human brain. Then, I said the NA should be that the computer scientists ARE trying to model the AI after the human brain (because if they weren't, the author's mentioning of human brain wouldn't apply).

I get why B is correct in that given the argument without looking too much in the context, it must be the case that the interactions and the protein structures are not both getting info from the human genome, but was still confused why the assumption I initially pointed out doesn't work.

Additionally, for these questions, would it be a better strategy instead to kind of ignore the context (some computer scientists believe...) and focus on the bulk of the author's argument?

Thanks!
