Can someone explain the justification for the answer being E. Seems like that would makes sense if the stem asks for the flaw in David's argument, but it doesn't.

Hi I was wondering if any one could give me any advice? It's been 3 months of intense Logical Reasoning and under timed conditions I continuously miss 7-10! And then I proceed to look at the ones I got wrong and I don't look at the answer key I simply choose what would have been my second answer and I end up getting -1 to -3. And at this point I'm wondering if I'm just stressed or should be more patient and just get more tests under my belt to feel more comfortable. I'm at the point where when I review the Explanation Videos I can't really write any new notes cuz I'm already familiar with the answer style. I guess one thing that I have noticed that gets me frustrated is I don't really know at times if the LSAT wants me to use common sense logical analysis or deep conditional/causation/Comparison logic. I have literally gotten answers wrong that 91% get right simply because I went down a rabbit hole of being too naive that LSAT would never give an answer this simple. I know that that the first 10 should be easier than the rest but even then I can't help but notice myself get answer right that only 61% got right.. and miss an answer that 91% got right any suggestions???

I understand why D is correct, but can someone give an example of what C looks like in an argument? How would you be able to determine whether the evidence given is "stronger" than what the conclusion requires?

Does anyone know when this supposed to take place?

I have heard that the June LSAT is significantly harder.. is that true? I have heard it from a few people and I am nervous. Also I want to apply for Fall 2022, and it says the deadline is 06/30/22... I got a 136 on the first LSAT (I did not study at all) and I am wondering if law schools will consider my second score if I get it after I apply to law school.

So everyone who does well on the lsat specifically on LR tells me there are patterns. What are these patterns that I should look out for?

Hey everyone, I was wondering if people had any tips --

What I've found I struggle with the most is close-reading on the LSAT, specifically Logical Reasoning. I tend to zoom over words, or not digest the prompt enough, etc, etc, etc. Sounds silly, but it's definitely what kicks me in the face on difficult LR questions. I'm taking my LSAT at the end of April, and this is still my weakest area after a few months of studying.

Any advice? I'm willing to do anything at this point to fix this issue.

Can someone please explain to me why answer choice C is wrong?

Can someone explain this problem to me? I'm pretty lost PT1S3Q11 Logical Reasoning

Can someone help me with these questions. I can't get myself to agree with the answers.

1.Commentator: The quality of health care is declining. Medical schools have been graduating fewer people than are needed to replace retiring physicians. Furthermore, on average, a physician now spends only 15 minutes with a patient on the patient’s first visit.

Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the commentator’s argument?

(A) The average length of all patient-physician visits is 20 minutes.

(B) More and more people are seeking physicians, thus increasing the number of patients that physicians treat.

(C) Most patients do not like to spend an inordinate amount of time in physicians’ offices.

(D) Five years ago, the average first patient-physician visit lasted 10 minutes.

(E) Most patients visiting a physician are suffering from ailments that are not life threatening.

2.Peterson, the current world record holder in the women’s 100-meter backstroke, has ranked first in the world for seven years. Her performance in recent competitions was disappointing, but during training she unofficially beat her official world record time. So she can be expected to set a new world record in the 100-meter backstroke during the upcoming world competition.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

(A) Peterson is widely expected to win the 100-meter backstroke in the next world competition.

(B) Peterson had the flu during a recent competition.

(C) Peterson has also set world records in several

other swimming events.

(D) Peterson is the only active world-class swimmer

in the world to have set a world record in the

100-meter backstroke.

(E) Peterson has in each of the past seven years

swum faster during world competitions than during training for those competitions

I am very confused by this question could somebody help

I was just thinking to myself that a lot of JY's work, especially in logical reasoning questions, use diagrams and logically expressions. But on the digital test, I can't draw or write any sort of lawgic near the questions to help me answer the questions. We do get 5 pages of scrap paper, but I often find myself saving that for the Logic Games in the event that I get a double logic game section. Is there anyway around this limitation?

Please note: I am not asking to literally get around scrap paper limitations. I want to learn your strategy of dealing with difficult questions with or without scrap paper.

Good Evening, Everyone.

Can someone please share some knowledge with me revolving around question 12 of PT.33? My specific question pertains to understanding the written logic, which is used to solve the question.

The lawgic is /S --> J --> H --> /G --> /W. There is an “M” below the J pointing to the H as well; however, what is confusing to me is drawing an arched arrow backward from the H to the /S. Once I have done that, how the lawgic plays out is confusing to me; and therefore, how the correct answer is reached. I have watched the video on this question more than once and I am still confused.

If anyone can share anything regarding this question, I would appreciated it. I hope my question makes sense.

Thank you!

Does someone mind explaining why the correct AC is D? Why would this answer be the necessary assumption that the argument depends upon?

Hey, Im working my way through the RC section and have a couple quick questions. For doing the memory Method is it best that I print out the RC questions and do it by hand or is it fine to just look at the screen, read through it, then look away and try to recall? I know this may be a personal preference thing. JY says to flip over the page. Im struggling to get this method to work for me and it seems to be taking me large amounts of time so if someone could give me a little more insight and detailed or even semi detailed explanation into their process that would be very helpful to me.

I went through the explanation video again and realized that my summaries at the end of the paragraph where way to long so I will have to cut that down.

Can someone explain question 21 from section 1 prep test 5 for me?

Hi all,

Based on the 4th paragraph, I wanna know how do you tell where the author's tone/ emphasis lies? Through the whole 4th paragraph, it seems to me that the author is simplyly reporting the critics' viewpoint. That is, the author sounds quite detached, IMO. I couldn't see any line or word which suggest author endorese or commit to either a critic or proponent.

Could you please share how do you see this paragraph? Thanks a lot.

I don't get this. I think the method is used a lot when people argue in everyday life. How come this is flawed?

Can someone explain why AC E is the correct answer instead of D?

Hi everyone!! I have been viewing all these posts here on 7Sage and saw really useful suggestions for my LSAT prep. I have scheduled April 2022 digital lsat, yet still I got my PT score average at 160 (only started prepping from February). My LR score raised from -15 to -3 ~ -5 now after I finished loophole (just skim through) and LSAT Trainer (another skim through) and Powerscore Bible LR. I am currently working on the Manhattan LG prep book and find it useful for my LG score boost. Just wondering is there anyone who has used the Manhattan LR book and raised score even after a relatively OK level (such as -3 to -5)? By the way, I am struggling at RC and still do not find a helpful prep book and haven't developed my own strategies for this section. Is there any suggestion? Thank you so much and hope everyone can kill this monster. : )

can someone please explain how to understand the question prompt??

Hey, so I recently did this MSS question and I struggled to understand why A is the answer, could anyone help pls? I picked B cause I really didn't know what else to choose. I didn't like A cause it said a "comprehensive approach" but how do we know that a comprehensive approach could shrink the health care costs?

Thank you :)

Hello guys, if any tutors out there that's really know the Core Curriculum. I would like to talk to you.

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official March 2022 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the March LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, March 15th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

✅ The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

❌ The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

Good luck to everyone taking the March LSAT!

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

In the MSS question sets, I found two interesting question stems. Even though they’re both categorized broadly as MSS questions, I found some nuances for each of them that might be helpful for shaving off time. If you find a flaw in my reasoning, please point it out!

Here are the two question stems and my comments for each:

“The statements above, if true, serve LEAST well as evidence for which one of the following?

- Correct answer not supported; every other answer at least a little bit supported

- In the videos, JY compares this to an MSS except question, where the incorrect answer choices each have a ton of

support

“Which one of the following is LEAST compatible with the information given in the stimulus?

- Correct answer not supported (contradicts, even); every other answer compatible, but not necessarily supported (Why?

Because they could be irrelevant and still be compatible)

SO, why does this matter?

- In a “serve LEAST well as evidence” question, each one of the incorrect answer choices must be relevant to the stimulus

in some way. If it’s not relevant, then you know it’s the right answer choice.

- In a “LEAST compatible” question, an incorrect answer choice does not have to be relevant to the passage. Don’t just

choose it because it’s irrelevant.

For examples of each q-stem, see: lsat 25.s2.q19 & lsat 35.s4.q22
