Hey guys !

I hope all is going well for you :)

I struggled with practice test 67 game 2 with the " if but only if " statement I did not know that you NEEDED to create two game boards with the last rule. I was lucky enough to only get 1 wrong in the set but I need to practice more. If anyone knows any games that have the " if but only if" rule please let me know I am willing to practice all of them.

"Risk of difficult birth higher for women over 40. Those with difficult birth have higher possibility of being ambidextrous..."

This stimulus just doesn't make sense to me. Consequently, I went into the AC's lost. Is anyone able to make sense of what they're trying to say and the logical flaw made?

Can anyone please help me with PT1.S3.Q10 and PT1.S3.Q14?

Hello everyone,

I have been contemplating going back to my older tests and making sections out of my incorrect LR questions to redo them. But I want to make sure I am making the most out of the process.

How do you retake your incorrect LR questions to understand and correct your patterns?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I don't get the correct answer choice for this question. Initially, I thought the argument part is the background problem that the stimulus is resolving. Let me know your thoughts on how to get to the right answer.

Hi everyone,

I am just wondering what we should do to keep track of questions we get wrong on RC. I was told that we should keep a wrong answer journal for LR, which is something I had been doing on the LR section of the CC (I am on the game section now). Do we also make a wrong answer journal for RC? How do we keep track? Please help me!

Q5. Which one of the following indicates an error in the reasoning leading to the prediction above?

Can anybody explain what's wrong with answer choices A and C and explain answer choice .

Please and thank you

Hey guys I just took the LSAT writing for my august test, and I feel a bit worried because when it asked me to take a picture of my ID, the pictures kept coming out kind of blurry. I tried for maybe 5 or 10 minutes to get my computer camera to focus on my ID, but it was still a bit blurry, though you could clearly see it was me in the picture. I'm a bit worried because it said that unclear photos can result in "exam cancellation" whatever that means. Is this something I should be worried about or am I overreacting? Anyone else have an issue with this?

New to 7sage format and not sure if 7sage allows one to print out the Logic Games. I have never had any issues with printing with other companies. Cannot find the printing feature on the problem set section. Am I missing something or does 7sage not allow printing? Thank you!

Hi,

Does anyone have any study tips for understanding converse/inverse statements that appear on LR questions to trick the test taker?

For example, on Necessary or Sufficient Assumption questions, I have a difficult time differentiating the converse/inverse from the contrapositive, and because of the time constraint, I consistently get these answers wrong.

@jenleeva had a good question about the first LR section of PT 39, Q12, and I'm also stumped:

"How do we know that 'not right' = 'wrong'? And vice versa? Wouldn’t 'not wrong' logically have a neutral option?

I ran into something that kind of tripped me up and I wanted to hear from someone else (hint, it's the phrase "in order to"). Can I break the argument down as follows?

Because studies show that flex is associated with morale(P), ABC should therefore flex (SCC), therefore increasing production(MCC).

Hey are there any strategies to choose which RC passages to read first, second, third, fourth? Or do you guys suggest going 1-4 as given? Is it better to do passages with more questions first? Thanks for all your help!

NVM I FOUND IT, for anyone looking for a difficult RC passage it was PT 67 S1 P2.

Hey guys! I'm looking to locate a specific RC passage and really don't have much to go on - guess I'm hoping someone else will be able to recognize it lol.

I believe it was in the 60s or 70s and it was written like a journal or about someones journal or something, I think it was about a Chinese author? Anyways that's very limited information, the reason I'm looking for this passage is because it was ABSTRACT AF. Like there was BARELY any structure and it was notorious for this.

If anyone recognizes the description and wants to share any passages that it might be, do comment down below!

I realize this isn't a lot to go on so thanks to anyone who comments!

I use to score from -7 to -10 on logic games, my worst was -12. Over the past several weeks, maybe 2 months, I have gotten significantly better and can score in the -1 to -4 range. My last PT I got -1 on LG. I want to be really excited about this improvement but I always feel like it wasn't truly my hard studying and blind reviewing that got me here, for example I will lead myself to think that it was just an easy set or I was able to see inferences I wouldn't be able to on actual test day. The worst thought I tell myself is that my real test (in October) will have curveballs or insanely hard games that my practice isn't preparing me for and I will end up scoring -10 again.

Does anyone else struggle with this?

Honestly this LSAT journey was an extremely uphill one. I just wanted to share and hopefully encourage others to not give up. (lengthy and more about mindset)

THANK YOU 7SAGE!!!!! During this time, I've tried the LSAT Trainer, the Powerscore Bibles, and skimmed through Manhattan Prep before I got 7sage in July 2020. 7sage worked best for me. I'd really suggest taking advantage of the analytics to get a solid baseline in the beginning and target drilling your weak spots. My initial weaknesses were logic games, then after I got better using the foolproof method and just drilling, I focused on logical reasoning (I used the Trainer and 7 sage for this), and my RC ALWAYS fluctuated (like -2 one day to -11on another). RC was the hardest for me to learn. I used the drills on 7sage and read articles on The New Yorker regularly. Targeted drills were really helpful to me. Sometimes I'd actually purposefully do my drills in noisy places, where my sister was watching Netflix or whatever, to get used to keeping calm despite distractions. Keeping calm during the test (in spite of distractions) and having peace with myself is what helped me the most. If you have any specific questions lmk and I'll try my best to answer! :)

Anyone interested in reviewing some logic games today? Scoring in high 160s.

I just took the LR sections on PT 65 today. For both sections, I seem to run out of time. The first section with 25 questions, I had 5 minutes left to answer the last 5 questions. I got 17/25 right for that section. The second section with 26 sections, I had 5 minutes left to answer the last 6 questions. I got 20/26 for that section.

I mostly get Qs 1-(17-20) right with 2-3 errors in those questions.

Then towards the end of the section Qs 17-26, I get half/most of them wrong.

For the first 10 Qs, for each sections, I had 22-23 minutes remaining.

I'm not sure where to focus my studying so that I can improve. Tips?

So, I’ve noticed that I went from -3 or -4 on LR back to -7 because I don’t use the underline/highlight feature on the digital exams. On the paper exams I could quickly underline the P and C which would help me see flaws better before jumping into answers choices…

But now I just try to do it all in my head because I’m afraid of taking more time or messing up.

I’m doing it on my phone tho. Wondering if it’s easier on the tablet? Does anyone else use this feature to help? Or should I just scrap it?

I took the August LSAT and am retaking in October. I consistently score in the -1 to -3 range on LR and RC, but the LG still gives me trouble. I am usually -5 to -7 mostly because I don't get through all the games, scoring -1 to -3 in BR.

Everything I've read and people I've talked to say that LG is the easiest section, but that has not been my experience. I've done A LOT of practice games and can do the questions, but am still unable to get through them all in 35min. Nerves are not the issue, so maybe I'm just slow to set up and get through the questions? I would appreciate any suggestions for improving timing. Thanks!

I'm a bit confused how to to approach reviewing the RC section. Of course tracking wrong answers and why I got them wrong. Writing down question types I struggle with. Possibly re-taking the section? But is there anything I can do beyond this for improvement?

I'm not really sure where to begin. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

LG is by far my weakest section and I intend to write the Nov LSAT. I've done all the LGs from 10-75 but I was ignorant and casual about studying in the past (wasn't sure about pursuing law school). I'd do them, watch an explanation video and never revisited them to ensure my understanding. There'd also be large breaks / gaps between games sometimes. I did another circuit from 40-75 again in that time as well. Needless to say, my improvements have only been modest, my confidence in LG is low, and I remain prone to catastrophic breakdowns.

I've only now purchased 7sage and have backfilled all my past papertest results into the system to generate an analysis. I can see where my weak spots are. What should I do now? Do I drill my weak areas by type & difficulty progressively? Or take full 35 min sections of LG from diff PTs and foolproof them?

Anyone that can suggest a focused regimen for me would be greatly appreciated. I find myself ruing my decision not to sit for the old LSATs back in 2017, 2018 etc. where this only represented a quarter of my grade...

I got it correct by POE, but I was enticed by A and even after getting it right I still don't 100% understand. 7Sage doesn't have explanations for this test. Thanks in advance!

A valid conclusions is a conclusions that's already 100% proven by it's premises. Can these questions ever be strengthened or weakened? Or do strengthening and weakening questions always have a stimulus with some error

Hi everyone. This is my first time using the discussion board so I apologize if it's a big longer than the typical posts. If you do decide to read it through though, I so so appreciate you.

This post is about PT5 S5 Q15 and really any other questions that have the same problem. My problem is that the question can have two meanings. Here is the question: "Q's response serves to counter any use by M of the evidence about 85-90 year-olds in support of which one of the following hypotheses?"

The first interpretation of the question can be paraphrased like this: "Which of the following is a hypothesis that Q's response supports and also counters the evidence presented by M?" The second interpretations can be paraphrased as such: "Which of the following is a hypothesis that M's evidence supports that can also be countered by Q. The difference is that in the first interpretation, the clause [in support of which one of the following hypotheses] is completely separate from the others. In the second interpretation, the clause [in support of which one of the following hypotheses] is embedded within the clause [any use by M of the evidence about 85-90 year-olds in support of which one of the following hypotheses].

(In syntactic language, interpretation one has a structure in which the PP [in support of which one of the following hypotheses] is the daughter of the main VP, while interpretation two has a structure in which the same PP is the daughter of the main DP.)

The difference between the two structures is pretty critical because it determines which person the answer choice must support, Q or M. The problem is since both structures are equally valid, both interpretations are correct. So, my question is, how are we the test takers supposed to know which interpretation to assume, when both meanings are grammatically correct?
