Hi, when you go on proctoru is the november proctoru showing up on your schedule appointments?

Not sure why the answer was not D.

I'm having trouble with logical reasoning especially the weakening questions. I was wondering do you guys use any other source to understand logical reasoning?

Hey maybe anyone have taken the test can help me with a question re room requirements. Do I need to clear out all the stuff in the room and leave only a desk or is it ok that the private room have bunch of kids stuff and drawers/kids playground etc.? Thanks.

I did the LR section of the 7sage course, and am a little better at identifying the correct answer, but still don't feel like I am where I should be, is the best way to improve in LR just to spam out drills?

Hey y'all

It's rare for an answer to attack the premise and be right, but how rare is it after PT75.

On question 75.3.13: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-75-section-3-question-13/

The correct answer choice contradicts a premise in the argument, now as this is against the learned approach of never attack the premises. How often is it seen in the rest of the prep tests? If it is often, how did you guys adjust your process of thought in order to get these type of questions right.

-Moreover, if y'all have some drills to be more consistent at getting 4/5 star difficulty questions right I would highly appreciate it!

Hi!

What I'm offering:

to help you out with LR questions either

Hi everyone!

I saw someone else's post for tutoring and thought I could do the same. I plan on taking the November LSAT and I am also currently scoring 165+, so it wouldn't be anything seriously official. I am looking to have consistency in my LR section by working through questions and explaining using a specific process.

Let me know if you are interested!

Hey everyone, just want to hear everyone's thoughts on what worked for them in terms of how many study hours you put in per day without feeling burnt out?

I see that 7sage writes out the Lawgic for the majority of the logical reasoning questions and answer choices, which of course is very helpful in determining the correct answer. Can anyone that has taken the digital lsat before please advise if you are at a disadvantage because you can not write everything out? What was your solution to this?

In another discussion post about this question (the only other post about this question), one of the responses stated:

the crux of the argument lies in the second part of the second sentence where the author makes an explicit attempt at underlining the underlying logic: "but the absence of sightings cannot prove that it does not (exist)".

In lawgic that's: if there's absence, then we cannot prove non-existence.

Absence --> /prove

In order to weaken the argument, we need to find something that's loosely along the lines of: if there's absence, then that might actually mean non-existence.

(E) encapsulates this best.

But his underlying logic doesn't really make sense to me. If Absence of sightings -> cannot prove yeti does not exist, then the contrapositive is: prove yeti does not exist -> some sightings. The contrapositive doesn't make intuitive sense. If we prove that the yeti does not exist, then there must be some sightings of the yeti? That sounds like the complete opposite of what is necessary to prove something does not exist.

How does answer choice E weaken the argument? Is focusing on the underlying logic in the final sentence the best way to approach this question?

Hi everyone,

So, I've been studying for the past month and a half or so and I can't seem to get logical reasoning down. I always, and I mean always, get only 50% of the questions right. The best I have ever done is a -10. I always go back and review what I got wrong, why I got it wrong, and watch every video explanation to the questions I got wrong. Usually it's due to reading errors, rushing, or just overthinking the answer choices. The last time I got 12/26 correct and had a complete mental breakdown. Took a break for one day and did a section just now and got -13.

Anyone have any advice out there if you just can't seem to have any sort of breakthrough on logical reasoning? I feel so demotivated, sad, and almost like giving up. I've read half of Ellen Cassidy's Loophole book and it did help at the start but it feels like nothing sunk in. I'm taking the November test and I'm absolutely panicking.

I am taking the November test and need advice. I have been consistently studying and even got 2 lessons with a private tutor. I am finding myself making small improvements (finishing RC with better timing, making more confident answer choices, etc.) but am feeling stuck and distressed. LG is my best so I had my tutor help me with LR and RC... he definitely helped me and I am approaching them better but my scores remain the same.

Trying not to spiral (obviously failing at that) but I have a GPA of 3.89 and good softs - I just need this score. I really need to break into at least a 165+ and right now PT'ing between 160-163. I guess I just need advice on how to change my approach or some encouragement to just keep trying because I feel like I exhausted every single option.

Ive tried it all writing down notes while reading, to just reading i do horribly in this section. does anyone have any advice on how to improve?

How do I tell if I need to pick all the game pieces that could fulfill the given condition, or if I need to select the answer choice that is a valid scenario? For this question (Which one of the following could be all of the solos that are traditional pieces?), I thought I needed to list all the solos that could be traditional pieces, which would be "second, third, fourth, fifth." But that wasn't an answer choice and I got extremely confused. I ended up rereading the game and all the rules a bunch of times and ran out of time for this game. For this question, I believe I simply needed to select the answer that depicts a valid game board. What is the difference between this question and a question that requires listing all possible solos that could be traditional pieces? I often cannot tell apart the wording between these two question types.

Thanks.

Hi, I am confused as to why the correct answer is C? I felt C was a different argument since the final conclusion was " wise investors will conclude that the expansion will continue for some time"

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

I know it all depends / repetition etc but im generally wondering- when I drill reading what difficulty should I do at? does anyone know what avg difficulty is on tests like one level two one level three etc for reading?

Like if I drill one 3 dot law passage, 4 dot science, 2 dot humanities, then mix it up another time, etc?

Help! I always get these wrong and they seem so simple. I don't understand what I'm missing. Any advice?

Hi, I am so grateful and happy to have gotten a 172 on sept test, 7sage I owe u my life. That being said, I am still be encouraged by people to take the October test bc I am already signed up, but I am not sure if I will do better than a 172. My august LSAT was a 161, so I am worried if I get like around a 168 or something (my pt average is a 169) than my 172 will look more like a fluke to schools, especially to t14s. I know some say that they only look at the highest score but is there no way the other scores could be a factor?

My highest ever pt score is a 175 but other than that I am consistently scoring between 171-168, mostly getting 170s.

I really would appreciate people's thoughts, thank you for your time!

I have trouble remembering the steps in the logic games, especially when there are two layers example runners/ charities or grouping in multiple rooms

After mastering and fool proofing the LG curriculum should I do the same for PT 1-20 or 1-35? I have heard both approaches are good to get to -1/-0.

Hey y'all.

I just took the October LSAT and was wondering whether I should do any form of preparation for the writing sample. I hadn't really thought about it until now. Thanks!

I've been studying LG for about a month now and seemingly always get -1!! I have been perfect on a couple tests but in the last 2 days I have taken 6 LG sections and got -1 on all of them. It's never on the hardest game either. Is this just a focus thing, or maybe going too fast on the easy games? Anyone consistently scoring -0 who also had this problem?

Hello, does anyone know a list of Pt's that have 2 RC sections?
