Stim: Japan is model for such sort of training effort & nothing is implicated about its economy

=>which makes ACs (B) and (C) to quickly be eliminated

(A) - worldwide shortage? who cares? irrelevant

(E) - ??? nothing is implied about European countries having better economies

(D)- can definitely be implied from 1st sentence and 3rd sentence together.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

By the way, I still get the conclusion from the stim. Is it the first sentence?

This one has thrown me!

I chose A because if the British gov is not forthcoming with secure information, then it would make sense why they were brushing people's requests for info aside & not releasing enough information. Am I misunderstanding the argument here?

Struggling to understand how B strengthens the argument.

I fool proof my games before I move on. I'm just worried that as time goes on I'll forget part of them and they will no longer be fool-proofed.

I fool-proofed some of the games, and I know I can go 24 hours and still keep them fool-proofed. But how long should I wait before I practice them again to ensure they stay fool-proofed?

I know some of you are probably like, "are you serious..." (lol).

I like spaced repetition though I have no idea how long I should space them out for... kinda freaking me out atm hahah.

Any advice? :D

If I’m taking the august LSAT tomorrow, what is the best way to prep on this final day?

I came across this issue when I was doing June 2020 Section 2 Question 25. I thought unrepresentative sample applied because the sample was on [test subjects before experiments] and the conclusion was on [test subjects after experiments]. But a few people have told me that the "unrepresentative sample" answer choice is only for statistically unrepresentative things, like only interviewing 10 people when the population is 100,000.

If anyone has any tips on LR, I would appreciate it. I have been studying for about 3 months and have gone through Core Curriculum and several practice tests, I have also went through Ellen Cassidy's Loophole book.

I have consistently drilled around -6 to -10 and would like to get down to -3 to -5 for LR sections. Looking at patterns I do well in Q's 1-10 yet I usually miss 5 or 6 in a row in the back half of the section 17-25.

Any tips would be appreciated!!

Hi all - Maybe a stupid question here, but for those of us taking the LSAT this weekend at an in-person testing center, we are not required to bring anything beyond our govt ID, login/testing credentials, correct? I assume computers will be provided, along with scratch paper for the applicable sections. Are these correct assumptions? Apologies if these answers are elsewhere, but with this being the first test date under the ProMetric "regime", I figured it would be best to seek clarfication. Best of luck to everyone!

I am taking the LSAT this October. I had a diagnostic of 147, and have been seriously studying since July 2023. My highest score so far is a 159, but my two most recent tests have both been 157s and I haven't seen a score jump in weeks. I am just discouraged, because I want to get a 165+, but it seems my studying has hit a rut, at least when looking at my scores...

Can someone explain this necessary assumption problem to me? I got the question wrong the first time and during blind review (I answered B, then E). The answer doesn't seem to be A or C, so it must be D. But why?

Hi everybody! I'm trying to improve my speed on logic games and currently I'm taking about 1.5-2 minutes too long on basic logic games, but I'm within the target time frame for harder logic games. I'm not sure what this means, but maybe I'm taking too long to do the setup for the game? Does anybody else have this problem/have any advice for this? Thanks in advance! :)

If I canceled a previous LSAT score, does the writing still apply? I know it says you only have to do the writing once regardless of how many LSATs you take- just making sure it still applies if I canceled my previous score.

I chose C, but the correct answer was D. I can see why it's D, but I think that C is also follows logically, please help?

At first, I chose B instead of D. I thought D was questioning their credibility and I didn't pick up on that in the passage and chose B, because I understood it to mean that it would be more risky to not believe the people who have more to lose. But then I realized, that it's not risky to the reader necessarily what the forecast states, so that can't be right. It never said their would be consequences for the person reading it if they listened to the wrong expert just that the experts were facing various levels of risk. Also, questioning whether you should trust someone based on who has more skin in the game is questioning their reliability of the person that takes less risk, so I can see why D is right and B is wrong now.

I chose A after going between that and C for an extended period of time. Does anyone have insight as to why I should eliminate C? Thanks! #help

I was able to reach the right answer because I came up with a saying or mnemonic. I wrote down "because something is correlated doesn't mean 1 causes the other. And you can be at a higher level when you start w/ skills.

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!
