Just curious how people felt about the Feb LSAT? I had LR-RC-LG-RC, did anyone else? I left like the LR was hard, both RCs were pretty easy except the last passage was a bit iffy & LG was normal.

Prep Test 7 - Section 1- Question 15

I got this answer wrong and was unsure of my answer. Is the correct AC A right because it strengthens the premises to fill in a gap where the deer population increase after the hunting ban could still exist even without the hunting ban? Like for example, a change in the ecosystem in which a predator of deer migrates etc.

I choose B because the key words relating to accidents and public saftey. I felt skeptical about this choice because the AC was reiterating what was already in the stimulus

Can anyone offer any advice on how to more easily eliminate B and choose A when answering this question?

Incredibly excited after getting the results back from my February 2023 test. Lots of curveballs, but everything I learned through 7Sage after these past 4-5 months of study really came through for me. Much love, and peace out :)

where Can I go to see the explanation to this question ? I only see the "discuss" button but not the "explanation". I see the "explanation" for the questions that I got right.

Is marking up a stimulus on LR to highlight and underline the conclusion and premises considered a waste of time generally?

So far I’ve been working down the syllabus starting with the foundations, then LR, which I am currently on, followed by LG, and lastly RC.

I’ve been using the drill feature for MC/MP questions, but I’m not sure if I should be doing a lot of these drills directly after the lesson, as i’ve been doing, or if it would be better if I held off on the drills until I start taking timed PTs , so I could then have clean questions to practice with after identifying my weaknesses.

For some reason, I am having a lot of trouble for weakening questions in LR. For me, it is just intuitively hard to wrap my head around and go through the steps of finding unwarranted assumptions and harping on that rather than the argument itself. Therefore, I can get them right if I spend a lot of time on them, but end up half-assing answers when I am timed... Any tips to get over this issue?

I found many Level 5 questions from PT 1-35 not only difficult but annoyingly silly. Also, looks like many do not even have an explanation video on this forum?

Weakening Question

I identified 3 premises here:

Conclusion: Polls during the week leading up to an election should be banned.

Goal: Find answers that show why one of the premises isn´t true, or why we shouldn´t believe the conclusion to be true.

Answers:

A. Few people are influenced by polls in the 2 weeks leading up to elections. THIS INCLUDES 1 WEEK LEADING UP TO THE POLL!!! I completely skipped over that obvious implication originally, but see now why it makes sense.

B. Uneven - too specific. What about close elections?

C. Remove motivation actually strengthens.

D. Gains in popularity - who cares? Irrelevant.

E. Informed citizens is a stretch to unaffected citizens. Also the comparison is weak - this is ONE country, and we don´t know anything about it.

My takeaway: Don´t read over answer choices too quickly. Maybe try to visualize even abstract answers and concepts like time - in this case, picture a timelines with a dot representing election. Scribbled out right before it is the 1 week without elections. Answer A says 2 weeks right before, there is no influence. I KNEW I could be looking for an answer showing polls don´t affect citizens, so think about how a bigger line right before your election dot would overlap with the part scribbled out, and see how A is actually giving you about a strong point about the 1 week before.

hey!

the logical indicator 'until'

in this ex/ mary goes to the gym until brittany goes to the gym

-B -> M

would this be the correct translation?

[anything that follows until is the nec, modify the remaining of the sentence by negating-- which then becomes the suff condition?

I need help how to approach these because I always get the answer wrong. For except strength questions am I looking for the weakest answer? and vice versa for weaken except questions? Thank you

Why is the answer not "A"?

I thought that since all the premises refer to misguided belief about their nutritional intake that this would be the correct choice.

Originally -7. After BR, -6.

HOWEVER, questions I flagged for review that I originally marked right, were wrong after BR. What does this mean? Should I trust my gut?

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

Quick question on the conditional statement of the logic games.

This problem is from the Grouping and Sequencing Games lesson and for the statement "either P or L or both are selected" and the explanation for it is if not P then L ( shown in photo) so what does including "both" reference? doesn't it also mean it can be both P AND L as well?

Thank you in advance!

Is there anyway to see analytics for the practice set drills I've been doing throughout the curriculum? I know there are analytics for preptests and you can see where you need to improve, but can you see this for practice sets/drills too?

LSATLab lets you see your accuracy/percentage of questions answered correctly or incorrectly, regardless of whether it was in a full preptest or just drills. Just wondering if 7sage also has that.

My LG scores are consistently weaker than my LR and RC scores, and LG improvement is, at this point, all I need to reach my goal score of 170+.

However, I have now taken all of the games (save for those sets that are in my few remaining ‘clean’ PTs), and am worried about diminishing returns on my LG drilling. It bears mentioning, however, that I do not score perfectly on any games that I re-do.

My plan is to try the ‘foolproof method’ of re-doing games until they’re perfect, but I still thought I would reach out if people have additional advice. What other strategies have people in my position (or a similar position) taken? Anyone have thoughts on taking games I’ve already seen with less than the recommended time, or even doing ‘unofficial’ games (i.e., those not from a PrepTest)?

Thanks in advance!

How do I access any LG by a certain PT??

Hey yall! I need a parallel reasoning expert to explain to me why C is the correct answer and not E.

Thank you!

On the conditional indicator drill made by the student, the logical indicator "will" appear and the rule say's it indicates a necessary term.

"Will" however, is not on the "4 Translation Group Cheatsheet". It also confuses me because on the basic translation group 2 flashcards an example is "only a GPS will reveal where you are" .... the answer indicates that in lawgic it reads:

a --> GPS and /GPS --> /a.

I do realize that the LI "only" is also in that sentence, however the term "will" is now tripping me up and I do not know to include it in my Group 2 Logical Indicator or not. Please help! :)

It looks as if the 7Sage study schedule includes the prep tests in the hourly commitment. Although, without them it looks as if it is a less daunting endeavor given the number of hours needed to study is almost cut in half. I wanted to ask if the actual material is all 500+ hours or are we only truly learning in the "core curriculum" portion of the study schedule?

Hi there, I'm reviewed an old LR questions (PT24 S3 Q10) and this particular problem introduced subsets into the mapping. I have come across these problems in the past and never apply the subset. Anyone know if there is a core curriculum lesson or article/post on this matter that's reliable?

My issue for this particular question, is that I wrote S ->/MB while JY wrote it as /MBs. I have looked at other LSAT resource forums and they solve it in the same manner as I do.

I am sitting for February 2023 shortly but when the scores release come March 1st and it’s not the score I am aiming for, I would like to take the June 2023. My question is what to do during those 14 days after taking the test because I have a studying momentum right now and don’t want to lose it in case I have to get back into studying again. Should I take the necessary 14 days off and start after the score release, if need be?
