I thought B and C both worked. Wouldn't the first sentence explain why the public is so concerned about water issues when pollution is just as serious an issue?

Could someone who go the question correct help?

People be telling me the first sentence is a principle or it isn’t…which is it? Does any of this matter? Ugh.

Can anyone help me in understanding why D is a better option than C? I was stuck between the two on the actual test.

Thank you so much!

Does anyone understand this question?

I got letter D as my answer, but it is wrong and there is no explanation videos to help me understand.

For those that got the retake, how do you go about signing up for a spot on proctor u?

I apologize for how long this is, but I wanna make sure I give enough details.

So I just took the November LSAT and it went veryyy bad. To start, my grandfather passed away yesterday, so I spent the whole day with my family, not thinking about the LSAT at all. Today, I really tried to refocus before my 2:40 test, and I was hoping that I’d be too distracted by the test to think about everything going on, which was somewhat the case.

However, my dogs were barking like maniacs the entire first half until the break when I was able to quiet them down. My first section (LR) was awful. I was so distracted by the nonstop barking that I couldn’t process a single question. I was so stressed out I wanted to cry. I did my best but honestly, I didn’t feel 100% about any of them and usually I feel at least pretty sure about 75% of the LR section, and will get about 4/5 wrong. My second section was RC which is usually my worst section but I actually felt like it went better than LR.

After the break, I was less distracted but still flustered because of how bad I started out. LG, which is usually my best, seemed like it went ok until the end when I got short on time and wasn’t 100% about the last couple. My last section was RC and was worse than the first RC. I ran out of time and had to guess on the last 3/4.

Overall I just don’t feel good about it. For my June test, I felt pretty good coming out of it and ended up with a 165. I stopped studying until the end of Sept. when I decided to take the November LSAT. My PTs during those 5ish weeks ranged from 160-171. Ultimately, I’m not sure if I should cancel or just hope that maybe it’ll only be a few points lower like 161/162 and maybe that won’t look awful?? I’m also nervous that if I do end up getting significantly lower then admissions officers will wonder why I didn’t cancel. I’m just not sure what to do. The schools that I’m hoping to get into have medians that are 165, 167, 169, which is why I was hoping to boost my score even just a point.

I've read through the comments and still don't really quite get it. Yes, I see people referencing to https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/why-is-or-so-confusing/, but that lesson barely touches on the nuances of "than either ... or" in a comparative context. Quite a few posters made inquiries on this, but there wasn't really any explanation given.

Other than just taking this particular usage as axiomatic truth and accept that "than either ... or" in a comparative context (e.g. the parmigiano cheese is more expensive than either the cheddar cheese or the provolone cheese) necessarily means "and", how else can I digest all this? I'm curious, b/c the inference gleaned from that one stylistic choice has a big effect on the game (probably shaving at least 2 minutes for a particular question, if not helping to resolve the game board significantly).

I should also mention that had the phrasing been along the lines of "more expensive than either of the other two cheeses" (as opposed to "better than either the cheddar or the provolone"), that would have also removed the ambiguity.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I took the LSAT today and had technical difficulties, therefore I was granted a retest. This was my first time taking the LSAT so I purchased Score Preview. According to LSAC, I cannot use Score Preview again since I am technically not a first time test taker.

Will I be able to see my score if I opt for the retest?

If I cancel my score and take the next offered LSAT will I be able to see my previous score and use Score Preview if necessary.

Lastly, as score preview cancellations counts as candidate cancel - do cancelations and retest count the original cancelled test as candidate cancel, or show no record of it? ... Will the test I took today be notated as cancelled, if I opt for the retest?

What do you think my best course of action is given that I have Score Preview? - Im thinking opt for retest since the technical issues definitely affected my score.

Thanks so much.

I am at the point where I can set up the games well with my inferences and get through the questions and rarely miss, but I'm spending a lot of time doing so. I usually miss a whole game when I am doing timed sessions. Any advice on speeding up on my set up?

I heard that literary devices were not tested on the LSAT and not to worry about high level advanced vocabulary.

However, I was reading a study guide that gave an explanation of author's attitude and tone by way of a literary device for which I had to look up the meaning.

I was not an English or Philosophy major. The high level vocabulary and metaphors are destroying my progress and success. I am able to handle/understand the context cues as per science and legal jargon, but it's the thousands of other words that concern me. Even for words that I thought I was familiar with, the connotations flip and throw me for a loop.

Any suggestions please......?????

Why is the answer E but not C?

Has anyone done this PT and have insight into how to solve this question? I understand why B is correct (the stimulus says that lemurs, which are lower primates, are the only primates indigenous to Madagascar), but I'm not sure why you cannot also infer A. The only living diurnal lower primates are certain species of lemurs, and higher primates evolved from a diurnal species of lower primate. Therefore, chimpanzee's, which are higher primates, evolved from lemurs.

WAIT, I get it. If the stimulus said that the only diurnal lower primates (DLP) EVER were lemurs, then A would be correct. But, it actually says the only living DLPs are lemurs. Therefore, there could have been some other DLP in the past that was not a lemur from which chimpanzees evolved. So we cannot properly infer A!

Posting in case anyone else needs an explanation because there are no official ones yet for this PT. Classic LSAT with the sneaky wording.

Is the first sentence the conclusion?

And what is the "contrast'' mentioned in the answer choices? Is it between modern and ancient languages?

Could someone who got the question correct help please?

Hi all

I worked through the 7sage curriculum and saw a pretty huge score increase (143 diagnostic up to a high of 159, averaging high 150's now). Logical Reasoning is definitely my 'weak' point, especially factoring in there being two LR sections. I want to leave time to just do practice tests leading up to the exam. My question is, having done the LR portion of the curriculum in the summer, and starting out completely unfamiliar with the test, should I just go through the 7sage LR lessons again, or should I try out the Loophole? I really only have time for one.

I'm doing well enough on answering the questions, understanding the passages...but for the love of God I am struggling to get to the 4th passage and it's killing my scores. Tips? Tricks? Helpful videos?

I am taking the test for the first time tomorrow at 2:40 and I'm not sure if I should take PT92+ just to have one more under my belt. Thoughts? Pros and Cons? Thank you all!! And good luck if you're taking November!

I saw a question on 90.1.16 that states "Which one of the following is a central purpose according to both passages?"

One answer choice reads "To trace the historical development of an important idea"

Could anyone point me to a specific passage for which this answer is applicable?

Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm taking the test tomorrow and I'm quite excited to take it (believe it or not). What are some ways to maintain positive energy levels and motivation going into the test and during? For me what has worked the most is quick meditation early in the morning and treating the test like four section tests instead of viewing it as a daunting 3-hour exam. The first time I took the exam I was blindsided by the order of the first section and that feeling lingered onto the remaining sections. NEVER AGAIN!

I'm going to do a few drills today and watch a movie and rest the remainder of the day.

Sending everyone taking the November test positive energy and manifesting that we all reach our goal scores! All the best :)

Hello,

This seems like such a silly question but my last minute test anxiety is beginning to make me question everything. Are we allowed to use a wireless mouse connected to our computer on the day of the test...? 😅

What do you all do for a last-minute revision for LSAT RC?

I went to create a new problem set and I'm seeing section 2 and section 4 LG sections for the 2020 admin. Is this correct?? Why is that? Do i need to be prepared for the possibility of 2 LG sections?????

Does anyone have any tricks for getting this one correct with zero understanding of science? I skipped it and honestly would happily skip it again on the actual LSAT. I'm probably distracted by the science jargon but didn't want to waste time parsing it out. Is there a cookie cutter format under the jargon that I missed?

Hi I have a quick question on Q12, the disagreement question. I understand that passage A supports the idea that public funding can encourage the establishment of social capital. But I am not clear why B disagrees with it.. Is it because public funding creates arts that people don't like? It's the latest released test and I can't find any explanation on this online. I am wondering if any 7sager has finished this test and would be so kind as to help! Thank you!

Can anyone help me work through number 20?

I think the sheer amount of language in here is what's throwing me off. But summarized as generally as possible, I think the stimulus is saying.

"Klemke thinks that the complaints are unfounded bc the complainers are biased. However, being biased would NOT prevent you from being badly treated. Therefore, the complaints are justified (not unfounded)"

So is the argument flawed because it asserts that Klemke's argument is inadequate even though it is adequate?

I'm just lost :??

**Admin Notes:

Is the comparison between the logicians and doctors an analogy or only a comparison? What is the problem with the comparison/analogy?

Could a Sage help? Thanks

Im a little confused regarding this question. wouldn't B be a more accurate answer because the park ranger is saying people shouldn't get tickets for laws they don't know since they haven't don't a good job making the law known to the public? but after they do a better job making people aware of the new regulations they can start giving tickets?
