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

Could anyone help?

Looking for a tutor for the June LSAT to meet at least 2 times weekly

Can someone explain why the answer is C and not A? Thanks in advance.

How is E correct? It appears to be supporting the conclusion not weakening it. My understanding of the argument's Conclusion is that it's telling environmentalists to relax because nature is going to adjust itself to the rising levels of the atmosphere.

E (if I'm understanding correctly) states that the Earth's natural adjustment process, which happens over the course of a million years, allows for the atmosphere to successfully cope with large short term variances in the carbon level.

How is this weakening? I leaned toward C initially because if carbon was just one piece of the atmospheric "blanket", then nature fixing just carbon wouldn't be enough to prevent the environment from getting dangerously hot.

I am struggling so hard in these. Does anyone have any pointers?? I feel like I'm so close sometimes, then during BR I change my right answer to the wrong one! Or, of course I just get it wrong 100% and am totally lost. HELP :(

When splitting boards, and when you have an MBT question for example... do you choose the answer that is based off of both split boards? does this go for every category like CBF and CBT?

Can someone explain why D wouldnt weaken an argument, and C would. Thank you!

Hello If anyone can share their journey through reading comprehension it will be greatly appreciated!! Maybe someone who was struggling A LOT and saw break through's or someone whos just killing it in RC (Lol). Please share, I think RC is a section that gets neglected and SHOULDNT. Thank you in advance :) !!!!

Personally I have been struggling with RC but I am making it a mission this month to destroy RC lol, I believe you're only as strong as your weakest link.

I know how to translate rules when there is an indicators present but I am having trouble when there isn't an indicator. I confuse not both with always apart sometimes and it effects my timing.

for example on In/out problem set 2:

fenugreek is not included in the same recipe as nutmeg F(-)/N

Saffron is not included in the same recipe as Turmeric S (-)/T

initially translated these as not both. is it because its an in/out game that they are forever apart

on In/out with sub categories problem set 1 game 1

Gibson and Vega do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

Hsu and young do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

both are translated as not both rules according to lesson

help please

Hey just wondering if I should complain about my proctor interrupting me. I really can't tell how much it threw me off. I feel like my concentration wasn't there, but I did finish on time. I don't know if I want to cancel... not sure what to do.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I took the Feb 2022 LSAT and my score still has not been released. Should I be worried now? I expected a slight delay in the release, but not this long! Has anyone else who took the Feb 22 LSAT not received their score yet?

Thank you!

Hi! I’ve recently started my LSAT journey and I’m working through the LG section of 7Sage. However, I’m still missing -2 to -3 on a lot of games and I’m just not sure how to improve (besides continuing to work through practice games of course). Everyone says it’s the easiest section to learn, but I’m really struggling and I don’t know many people who have taken or are taking the LSAT and actually did well on LG. If anyone consistently gets -0 to -1 I would love to chat and hear any advice or tips and strategies that work for you!

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone would be willing to post the ways in which they go about tackling the LR section of the the LSAT. Thus far through my studies LR was always my best section naturally so I did not focus on it as much. However, now that I am trying to learn it I often times get stuck on choosing the best answer choice. The question types do not bog me down it is more so the stimulus often times confuse me with all of the extra details. I am open to suggestions, tips or even a study partner since I take the test in June.

Having a question about context and details!

While reading third paragraph of this last paragraph, the part "glorification"~ made me make a narrative that nationalists may have exaggerated achievements and there could be questions regarding this point.

Looking into Q22 (C)

Most historians- should be specifically "US" historians

Make the histories of the nations about which they wrote seem more glorious than they actually were

I thought it's correct as glorification could be interpreted as exaggeration. Thus, making it more glorious than they actually were.

Does "glorify" exclude the meaning of exaggeration?

As a non-native speaker, some words are confusing...

Any tips for improving context interpretation is also welcomed:)

So I've been noticing a trend lately where my RC score has been varying widely. Sometimes I'll score -4 and then the next day I'll score -10. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this problem and become more consistent on RC?

So I am sure that a 157 isn't very impressive to many. I started studying for the LSAT during December 2021 after I accepted I would take a year off before applying to law school after graduation and then realized I didn't want to do that. I took my first LSAT in January 2022 and was so stressed out that I fully jinxed myself. I got a 146 and knew I couldn't apply anywhere with that. I signed up for the February LSAT as backup in January so decided to try again. I studied for 12 days and took the February LSAT but was way calmer this time. I got my score back last week and it was a 157! I full 11 point jump in 1 month! I'm sure it's lower than most people's standards but this got me into my ideal school's score range so I'm happy!!

any last minute RC advice? my problem is not timing, but i can't seem to figure out what it is.

Hi all,

Recently I went through 10 passages (old & recent) and totaled up all my missed questions.

My top two missed were InfAP and Inf OP overwhelmingly. Does anyone have guidance or tips for improving on these question types?

(For reference if needed, my third most missed was tied between InfAA, UAO, RecMP (lol) and RecS).

Thanks!
