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!

Had trouble with this question and saw a lot of students also pick the wrong answer I chose. Since there's no explanation video thought Id give it a shot at explaining for future students.

So the thing to keep an eye on within the stimulus is the fact it tell us that what decreased was the (number of bass caught by anglers!) meaning not the number of bass. Now that we know this we attack the answers and look and eliminate all the answers that might explain why the (number of bass caught by anglers!) decreased.

A. Well l if the waste is attracting the bass predators then there's sequentially less bass and less caught by anglers

B. If the water is colder and the bass are leaving then that explains why they are catching less bass

*C. Doesn't say anything about bass just says more anglers are showing up, if more anglers are showing up then the (number of bass caught by anglers) should actually increase not decrease.

D. Tricky- This actually is a valid reason though, if there is less anglers in the river then that explains why the number of bass caught by anglers decreased.

E. Well if the vegetation the bass feed on was destroyed they probably left and thus it can explain why the number of bass caught by anglers decreased.

I am struggling with MBT questions I took my time on the MBT lessons but still struggled with the drill. How should I approach improving my accuracy for MBT questions?

PrepTest C - Section 2 - Question 13

I am so confused on why C is the correct answer, and how B is not right. Maybe I am assuming wrong that the waiter job for an English major is not seen as good job by Martin, and therefore Martin uses it as an example to reinforce the idea that only technical jobs offer good jobs. There is not an explanation for this question, so I was hoping to open a discuss to figure it out.

I need help negating statements that look the same but appear to be negated in different ways.

"The leopard magpie moth does not have the speed or the agility to escape from any of its potential predators" (PT80 S1 Q5)

Negated: "The leopard magpie moth does have the speed or the agility to escape from some of its potential predators"

"The proposed legislation is not made up of a set of statements some of which are overly specific and some of which are overly vague" (PT80 S2 Q18)

Negated: "The proposed legislation is made up of a set of statements some of which are overly specific and some of which are overly vague"

How come for the former statement, the "any" is changed to "some" while in the latter statement, the "some" does not change?"

Thanks in advance!

I’m looking for advice from anyone who’s gotten a tutor through 7sage. I’ve completed the core curriculum, taken 10 PT’s and 2 real LSATs (October and November 2022). From the year that I’ve been studying I’ve only gone up 3 points from my diagnostic (157-160). I feel like I’m getting worse with each PT instead of better. Has anyone with a tutor managed to increase +5 or even +10? With me writing again in October, I’m getting desperate 😣

This is quite the tricky one. I saw the right answer is C, but I'm not understanding the reasoning that would allow me to identify the right answer. Any advice? #help

Every time I am trying to foolproof games it takes some time to select the games I want and start drilling. I wish there was a way where you just press a button on the existing drills section that makes a copy of the ones you just did. Maybe this is just me complaining about first world problems lol

I've typically noticed that RC is usually pretty strong for me, with an average of about -2 to -3. However, I just did PT 65, and noticed that my scores tanked. I don't want to treat this as one test's score, especially because I know that more recent section are reflective of the increased difficulty of RC. What strategies should I take to make sure harder passages don't trip me up? Thanks!

I am a bit confused on why the answer is E and not D. I feel like D makes less of an assumption than E in stating that the algae would clog the pipes and the mussels stop that from being the case. In E, there is mention of transforming the algae. In hindsight, I can sort of see how mussels absorbing hazardous waste would then mean that they themselves are hazardous waste, but I'm having trouble definitively understanding why E is the glaringly right choice over D.

Hi! Is there any way to drill by question types I seem to get incorrect often in the reading comprehension section? Or at least finding passages in which a question of the specific type I'm looking for is included? Thank you! :)

Hi everyone,

I began studying for the LSAT in June using 7Sage's CC v1, but I recently learned that there is now a CC v2. I am about 25% through the logical reasoning portion of the curriculum, and after gaining access to CC v2 I've noticed that the curriculum is much more condensed and different. I'm wondering what I should do, either continue with CC v1 or switch to CC v2 for the remainder of my studies. Would continuing to study CC v1 disadvantage me in preparation for taking the October/November LSATs?

Any suggestions or insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

People who don't know that going high speeds uses more gas are at a disadvantage with this question... I picked a wrong answer because I thought about not using outside knowledge.

Hello everyone,

2.5ish weeks ago I had been scoring high 160s and was ecstatic to finally break into the 170s on PT77, but then my scores for the next four PTs were were back to where they were before. Today, I just finished PT82 with my lowest score in weeks.

With the August test weeks away I had been optimistic, but have no idea what to do now. Maybe I'm burnt out (been doing 2 PTs/week recently), but it seems too late for a break. All tips/advice/encouragement are welcome.

Thank you.

Hello!

Is there a specific lesson where J.Y. discusses the types of reasoning? I completed the core curriculum last year, and I don't recall him discussing the types of reasoning. Is this something new to V2? #help

Why do I always perform better for the first LR section and worse off for the second LR?

WHY IS IT NOT E? like it literally says "government official" how is a insurance adjuster a government official? And it said that it is wrong for the person to not give an answer and that they must tell the truth? She literally told the insurance adjuster that she doesnt know?

Hello everyone, can someone explain why the right answer is D and not B? How come they needed a Court house in those 10 years, seems to me like that was not in dispute?

Hello everyone I'm not sure why the right answer to this question is C instead of B?

PrepTest A - Section 2 - Passage 2 Question 11

If someone could assist me in explaining how D is the correct answer. The final paragraph, to my knowledge, explained how Fannie's Film gave the working women a chance to tell her own story. In this case it gives women who were ignored by mainstream media the ability to expose realisitic filmaking and give them represenation?

I test in August and was wondering what would be the most efficient way to spread out PTs as I have a lot I have still not completed. I was taking one a day but felt I wasn't learning much, anyone have a better approach?

Hello! I am debating if I should do the CCv1 or CCv2 and was wondering if anyone had any experiences switching. Apparently, the Core Curriculum v2 (beta) contains 84 hours of lessons, whereas the Core Curriculum v1 has over 217 hours of lessons. So I didn't know if I would be missing out on a lot of content by doing the CCv2. For references, I just started studying and made it through the Foundations of the CCv1and just started the LR. LSAT in November.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approach this problem.

Is it me, or did the preptests get way more tricky with LR bait answers between the 00s tests to the 10s tests?

I show improvement in RC and LG but LR seems so difficult to adapt to given the amount of bait answers that have become more numerous in the more recent preptests.
