Hey guys!

Just wanted to let you all know that scheduling is available for the August LSAT! Go to ProctorU if you haven't already and set up and account!

I got the answer right by confidently eliminating all the others.

I am still confused about the correct answer choice. The first sentence in the stimulus implies that more than .5 grams have the capacity to neutralize.. Not .5 grams.

I would greatly appreciate some clarification.

Hi! I study 6 days a week, Saturday through Thursday. I take Fridays off, and PT every Saturday. With about 70 days left until the October exam, it's crunch time for me. I definitely look forward to my Fridays off, and it's helped me not burnout but I'm wondering if it's ok to study on Friday for Logic Games only. Does anyone do a few Logic Games every day??

I just don't want to burnout...because I get bad test anxiety sometimes I blank out/can't focus on reading through the dense stimulus on LR. But Logic Games, is something I don't want to forget also. Hope I'm making some sense. It's 1:13 am right now for me. Thanks~~

Hi everyone,

I am struggling a bit with weakening questions and thus am completing problem sets. I noticed that the problem sets don't have video explanations, but rather discussions instead.

Does anyone know why this is? I actually do like listening to J.Y. and his videos are helpful.

Nonetheless, I'm a bit disappointed that there aren't videos are the prob sets.

Hi, i actually did the core curriculum but have struggled with timing and game recognition. I found some games on newer prep tests to be way different than in PT 1-PT35. can someone who has improved on games substantially recommend me what games they used to fool proof? Thank you. I was getting -9 on gamesUNTIMED

I mean how?

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there is a cheat sheat that details all of the different question stems in LR and how to approach them (i.e., weakening questions = attack the support, necessary assumption = take the contrapositive of the ACs and see which one wrecks the argument, etc. etc.). Please let me know if something like this exists. I haven't touched anything LSAT-related since the June exam and I'm looking to jump back in. Thanks!

I am about to enter my senior year of college. I took the LSAT for the first time in April of 2021 and was about 5 points away from my target. I am taking the LSAT again this fall and I am unsure if I should take it in October or November. I have been studying all summer and plan to study up until the LSAT. Of course it would be beneficial to have an extra month of studying but I have heard mixed reviews as to whether November is too late because of the advantage of applying earlier. Please let me know your thoughts! Thank you

I'm having difficulty distinguishing "either or" as inclusive vs. exclusive.

I'm working on the Advanced Logical Indictor section from the CC and immediately ran into confusion with the question 1 from the Complex Conditional Translation section.

For instance using Q1 from that section:

If a cat weights over 10kg, then it is either a Maine Coon or suffering from obesity.

I was confident at first that the sentence could be translated to:

10kg+ → (/MC→SO) = 10kg+ and /MC →SO

But as JY and other users comments detailed, this interpretation is incorrect because I'm incorrectly presuming the "either or" is an embedded bi-conditional.

So to clarify, if the sentence does not explicitly state "but not both" and if there's no context that can be used to determine if the "either or" is inclusive or exclusive, should I default and interpret the "either or" to mean inclusive?

In this instance, since Q1 does not explicitly state "not both" and there's no additional context, is it reasonable to interpret the "either or" as inclusive?

Making the logical translation as such:

OG: 10kg+ → MC or SFO

If a cat is over 10kg, then it's either a Maine Coon or suffering from obesity.

Contrapositive: /MC and /SFO → /10kg+

If a cat is not a Maine Coon and not suffering from obesity, then it's not over 10kg.

I'm just trying to really hammer home and flesh out the difference between inclusivity vs. exclusive.

Any Reply or input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

In this principle question - I don't understand what makes Answer C different from Answer E. Why is one right when the other one is wrong?

I'm struggling to note why the E choice does not also fit the bill. Since it eliminates a potential threat to the argument - and it also would weaken the argument if it were true.

#1

A cannot B without C.

Translation:

AB --> C

/C --> /AB

#2

A without B cannot C.

Translation:

/AB --> /C

C --> AB

I'm curious about the logic itself because if it's true then it's a great thing for me to memorize so I can quickly translate group3/group 4 indicators when they appear together on the test.

I have the Sufficient and Necessary conditions cheatsheet PDF saved, but I was wondering if there was a sheet somewhere like this in the curriculum I may have missed for the indicator words (idk if that's exactly the right term for them). "For, since, because" introduce premise, certain words introduce conclusion, etc. Just a nice neat place where all those words are gathered as a way to study them. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction of course material for this or even if someone made something themselves for this. Thanks! #help

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had more in depth tips about reading comprehension besides reading more. I'm in a rut where my reading comprehension is usually -6 to -10. I'm having trouble with author inference questions/most strongly supported according to the passage questions, and would really appreciate some guidance/input. Also, I'm wondering what strategies people use to get through specific passage types like art or science if that's possible.

Thanks!

Hello, I have a study plan to study linear games, then grouping games, then linear/grouping. These categories are from Powerscore but I can't find that last question type in 7Sage. Anyone know what 7Sage would call Linear/Grouping? I believe it includes Pattern type questions? Thanks

I felt myself might be the worst RC test taker in the discussion section. I have no idea how to improve it. Focusing on big picture has no help for me. I simply do not understand what the passage was talking about! My LR is now -5 but RC score could not be worse.

It's the biggest obstacle on my LSAT journey.

Are the following two equivalent?

(E1) --(s)-- (-E2)

(E2) --(s)-- (-E1)

I'm confused how this is a fallacy.

If I'm a hypocrite, saying that my reasoning is invalid because I'm a hypocrite is itself a fallacy.

What does Assumes without warrant mean?

Is there any way that I can take a premade 35 minute section without taking a full prep test? Looking to take full sections of logical reasoning without having to individually select things from the test bank or use a whole prep test just for one section

Hello, I am currently registered for the LSAT for August of 2021, but I think it may be a little too soon for me to take the test. My practice tests are a little all over the place, and my goal is at least a 160, ideally a 165. I registered for the August LSAT a few months back because I mistakenly thought it was the flex and therefore I had up to two weeks before the first test date to reschedule my test. However, that is not the case. For me to change my registration to October 2021, I would have to pay an additional $200. This is not money I am going to be thrilled about spending, and honestly I can't really afford to do that right now. But in the long-run, if I truly think it could help me bring my scores up, it may be worth it in scholarship offers. But honestly, studying since the start of May has been so rough on my mental health, I don't know if spending the extra weeks studying will be very healthy for me unless I change the way I am studying. My goal is to only have to take the LSAT once with score preview, and if I truly hate my score, cancelling it and just applying to law schools with my GRE scores that I got last year. Although not ideal since it would cut the number of law schools I am applying to in half, it could save me the added pressure of retaking over and over during the course of this next year. Let me know what you think or if you are at all in a similar boat.

I'm starting to get better at the test overall, and to do see improvement. In fact I'm doing much better than when I started studying for the exam. I was wondering if you guys could post what helped you learn/understand LR and make sense, any tips or advice. I'd love to hear from you guys, so I can apply that for myself in this learning process.

Anyone interested in doing a small group session to discuss the appropriate method of reasoning for certain LR questions? I know I have quite a few that I'm not confident about which one it is. Happy to use my examples as an "agenda" or have each person bring a few examples they'd like to work through.

Hi Everyone!

This seems to be a recurring theme in several LR questions, so perhaps worth considering. When attacking a support (premise to conclusion) in an argument, isn't the use of "some" i.e. other cases or situations, irrelevant - as we cannot know whether our case at hand falls within the scope of that "some".

Take for example the below question on proto-indo-european languages: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-29-section-1-question-16/

Here, we have to assume that PIE falls within the "some" languages which do not have words for prominent environmental conditions.

However, in the question on chess players and humming (link below), apparently it is wrong to assume that the humming falls within the scope of "some" involuntary actions as per AC (C).

Any thoughts welcome!

I'm between 0 and - 2
