PT133.S2.Q21

Pretty much understand everything except one thing, please help me 7Sage wizards

Most opera singers who add demanding roles to their repertoires at a young age lose their voices early. It has been said that this is because their voices have not yet matured and hence lack the power for such roles. But young singers with great vocal power are the most likely to ruin their voices. The real problem is that most young singers lack the technical training necessary to avoid straining their vocal cords—especially when using their full vocal strength. Such misuse of the cords inevitably leads to a truncated singing career.

E)Most young opera singers who sing demanding roles strain their vocal cords

Young Opera singers -most> loose voice

Young Opera singers -most> lack tech training to avoid loosing voice

Isn’t the valid inference

A most B

A most C

___

A some C ???

I thought A most C was invalid…..

RC Strategy

I never have enough time to complete the last passage during a PT. I am considering working from the last passage to the first, since I am noticing that they are a bit easier for me. Is this worth doing? Has anyone tried this before? I am taking the August LSAT, so looking for any last minute tips I should implement.

Dear Tutor, I am a little confused about when to move a "no" or negative indicator to the left in order to apply the "negate the necessary" rule. For example, I understand that " No Cats are Dogs can be diagrammed as such Cat-->/Dog Or Dog-->/Cat. However, what if there is a No on both sides? For example, Prep Test 111 Section 3 Question 18 Answer Choice: (B) reads "No people who understand their musical roots will be in the audience if the audience will not be treated to a good show." I almost diagrammed this by moving the "no" in the sufficient condition to the necessary condition, which would have made B correct. So, if there is a "no" or negative indicator on both sides, it is best to leave it be?

Hello All!

I am currently in Des Moines, Iowa and was hoping to find a study buddy or just in general someone to keep eachother accountable. I am planning to study for my LSAT and take this in January, if not sooner. Please feel to reach out about studying:)

Blind Review Recommendations

Is there a way to still have the blind review setting on without having the recommendations for which questions to BR? I want to practice my confidence in reviewing questions but it's difficult when this setting basically tells me what I need to BR. Thank you!

How to take three-section PTs?

Hi! Could someone please tell me if there's a way I can take three-section practice tests? I don't want the experimental section affecting my analytics under the "Sections" tab simply because I skipped it during my practice tests, as seen below.

LSAT Grade Dropping

I completed a PT on July 12 and got a 156, since then I have taken 3 more and got a 151, 152, and yesterday a 146. Has this happened to anyone else and has any idea why this could be happening to me? My diagnostic was a 148 and I find it very bizarre that I scored lower on yesterdays PT. Anyways, I am open to any advice that can help me!!

Studying Format

Hi,

I recently started studying and I'm signing up for the November Exam. For taking practice exams, would it be better for me to complete the whole curriculum first? Or do people usually take the practice exams/drills at the same time?

Not a super strong test taker, so I'm looking for the best way to manage my time!!

I've been drilling questions for LR, and I just let the 7sage system decide what questions to pick for me. I was wondering if the way the drill chooses what questions to recommend for a future drill is by 1) adding more questions of the type I have answered wrong and 2) adding more questions of the type I have spent a long time on. I feel like I see a lot of the same questions types (weaken, parallel flaw, etc) and I just wanted to make sure that it's not because the system is just giving me more questions that I spend a lot of time on. I just worry if I am not getting enough practice with the other question types. I know I can just drill by type, but I would rather have a mix that the system chooses.

Tips on Slowing Down?

Hey y'all! I recently took a PT and got 166 on the first take and 176 on BR. I think this disparity is because I go way too fast through the questions and end up making dumb mistakes. I try to remind myself to go slow while taking the test, but it never seems to help. Any tips on how to slow yourself down and ensure you are fully thinking through the questions?

Hello,

I joined a 12-week fundamentals virtual group class back in June. I have been drilling and practicing questions untimed, but have not taken a full practice test or done timed drills. I took a diagnostic test back in March.

When should I begin doing timed practice? or should I hold on until I’m done with the course in August? I definitely think timing is a weakness for me, but hate the idea of wasting practice tests if I’m not ready. Thanks!

Suppose the stimulus to a parallel reasoning question was something along the lines of:

A⊃B

B⊃C

C⊃D

A,

Therefore D.

And one of the answer choices read:

W⊃X

X⊃Y

~Z⊃~Y,

W,

Therefore Z.

The sentence '~Z⊃~Y' is the contrapositive of Y⊃Z, and so just as the first argument is valid, so too is the second. But I was wondering if, in a parallel reasoning question, they will ever give an answer choice that utilizes the contrapositive.

Sorry for my poor ability to formulate a question.

PT v. Test Day Performance

After getting 177-180 consistently on my PT, I got a 172 on a 2024 LSAT. Now I'm back to studying for Sept 2025 and am scoring in the 177-180 range on all my PTs again. Wondering how I can best use this time to ensure that I don't have the same test day performance drop? Any advice appreciated

LSAT Writing Question

I am signed up for the August LSAT, and I know that it automatically signs me up for an LSAT writing portion as well. I wanted to focus on strictly the RC and LR LSAT portions in August, so I was considering taking the writing portion on a different testing cycle. Am I able to submit an LSAT writing independent of the LSAT? For example, could I submit the September LSAT writing and the August exam into my applications, or do I have to submit the writing and exam from the same month?

I am going through what I thought was a J curve except I haven’t recovered yet. I am scoring lower than I was when I started taking regular PTs about 2 months ago. My past few PTs have been in the highs 150s, but my Blind Review are between 168-176. Does anyone have any tips for how to close this gap? 

I am focusing on the types of questions that I get wrong but wondering if there was anything specific I could do to try to get to my BR score during timed PTs as well. Thank you!

Approaching analogy questions

Analogy questions are the one type of questions I have routinely had no idea how to approach. Even when I read the explanation I often am still confused on how you're supposed to arrive at the answer or even how it's an apt analogy. What are people's strategies?

Are you sure?
