Hi everyone,

I am going through 7Sage CC, and I am currently on Alicia’s Bank Deposits – PF Question (PT31.S2.Q21).

JY drew the Lawgic of the stimulus as the following:

BDC->B3

AK (B3)

AK (BDC)

However, I drew the Lawgic of the stimulus as:

BDC->B3

AK->B3

AK->BDC

I was able to derive the answer and get the question correct. However, I am just wondering whether being able to draw the exact same Lawgic as JY is required to do exceptionally well on this test (175+).

Please share your insight!

I have a hard time understanding why C is wrong.

My case for C is this:

Why would they need to increase their safeguards if they have the greatest safeguards out there. That would mean they can’t improve and so it would weaken

Because if we are going to sell them on this idea and physics say “no thanks this is 100% effective” how can we counter that?

Is this a correlation-causation argument because it assumes that the increase in high school dropouts is the only thing that is causing the increase in recruitment among 18 year olds? And why would the author draw such a conclusion?

And I know there's an explanation vid for this, but why is A incorrect? If the conclusion had said "solely dependent" on high school dropouts, would A weaken?

I have made a forum previously with my deficiencies regard LR however, I have completed most of the 7sage LR curriculum and really have not seen any improvement. I take the LSAT in august does anyone have tips to maximize my time and get better?

Hi everyone,

This question (PT32.S4.Q21) is one of the sample question posted on 7Sage CC.

It is a parallel flaw question that requires us to draw Lawgic. The stimulus does not have the word, "most." However, three of five answer choices have the word, "most." I saw in other JY's videos that if the stimulus does not contain "most," we can automatically eliminate those answer choices containing "most" for parallel questions. However, in the video https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/experimental-psychology-pf-question/, JY did not do that. Could you all please share your insight with this?

I got down to drawing the Lawgic correct from the stimulus but I erroneously eliminated choices A, B, and D because I thought since they contain the word, "most," the answer choices are automatically incorrect.

I've been studying for a while now and while I don't necessarily score as horribly as I did before, I can't seem get past the -7/-8 stage. I've gone through MANY of the LR sections and blind reviewed everything. I also watch a majority of the explanation videos, but even that still doesn't seem to be enough. Any advice please? I need help :/

"Sequencing Game Wa Twist Double Problem Set 3" I think is one of the holy grail problem sets that dramatically improved the way I view hard sequencing games. Highly recommend fool proofing it if you haven't.

Hello everyone,

This is my first time posting in this forum. I am beginning to get very frustrated with my LG performance. I end up in the -13 to -10 range when I do a full timed LG section but I am able to get to -1 or -0 on BR consistently. Any pointers on how I can improve my performance when timed?

Cheers.

Am I the only one who doesn't actively write inferences or conditional statements when doing LR? If so am I doing myself a big disservice? As of now I prefer to just read it naturally and let the info sink in instead of trying to draw inferences that might not make any sense. Anyone else do this or if you do and think I should what would be your advice?

Hi y'all!

I'm planning on spending 2 hrs/week to hold free tutoring sessions for all sections for the August LSAT. I've been PTing in the mid- to low-170s range and occasionally high 160s, so I figured this would be good for discussion/tutoring. I'm pretty good with LG and RC, and am good at most question types on LR. I also weirdly really enjoy Parallel questions, so if any of you are having trouble with those, bring on your questions! Let me know in the poll if anyone would be interested in attending and your preferences, and I'll post a Zoom link if anyone would actually attend :)

If more people end up choosing Option #2, then the day is tentatively a Thursday, and would be 8:30-9:30 pm EST to accommodate for any west coasters!

**Note: As a rule, for the benefit of everyone, I'm going to try to limit questions to pre-70s PTs, or at least PTs that everyone has all done. We want to keep the newer ones in pristine condition!!!

Update edit:

people haven't been showing. see my comment below!

I'm a little confused about the relationship between the taxes and bus fare in this stimulus. In the first sentence, when it says bus fares are subsidized by city taxes, does that mean at least some of the fare is covered by these taxes? And when the councillors argue that city taxes should benefit those who pay them, is he assuming that people who commute from outside the city don't pay any taxes? Is that why he concludes that bus fares should be raised? to lessen the burden on the taxpayers? Is D wrong because it is talking about raising taxes and not the bus fares?

Does anyone know what time the August 2021 LSAT test will be administered? Since it's still in the online format, but its not Flex, I'm not sure if we will have the opportunity to schedule it at anytime during the day, or if there will be a set time we all take it (like 9:00am est)

Would love to start taking practice tests at the set time if I can figure out what time of day to expect to take it, but I can't find anything about this from LSAC!

Can someone explain to me why the answer isn't D?

My thinking was that D has to be assumed because if helmet wouldn't prevent the fatality then there would be no point in requiring the helmet since they would just be dead anyway? Morbid thinking but...

Stimulus:

Head injury is the most serious type of injury sustained in motorcycle accidents. The average cost to taxpayers for medical care for nonhelmeted motorcycle-accident victims is twice that for their helmeted counterparts. Jurisdictions that have enacted motorcycle-helmet laws have reduced the incidence and severity of accident-related head injuries, thereby reducing the cost to taxpayers. Therefore, to achieve similar cost reductions, other jurisdictions should enact motorcycle-helmet laws. For the same reason jurisdictions should also require helmets for horseback riders, since horseback-riding accidents are even more likely to cause serious head injury than motorcycle accidents are.

Which one of the following is an assumption upon which the author's conclusion concerning helmets for horseback riders depend?

(A) Medical care for victims of horseback-riding accidents is financial drain on tax funds.

(B) The higher rate of serious head injury suffered by victims of horseback-riding accidents is due to the difference in size between horses and motorcycles.

(C) The medical costs associated with treating head injuries are higher than those for other types of injury.

(D) Most fatalities resulting from horseback-riding and motorcycle accidents could have been prevented if the victims had been wearing helmets.

(E) When deciding whether to enact helmet laws for motorcyclists and horseback riders, the jurisdiction's primary concerns is the safety of its citizens.

Ive become familiar with the system of translation but Im still struggling to understand the practical use of making the translations. Is it just that I can not do them fast enough yet? or is it something that I'm possibly missing? Any advice or tips would be appreciated, thanks!

I almost have LG down but I still have trouble with the questions that ask to substitute a rule for another rule to get the same results. Any general tips on approaching these kinds of questions?

Could someone explain what effect answer choice E has on the argument? Doesn’t it point out a flaw since the stimulus only talks about physicians who are too thorough and those who are not at all without considering the middle ground?

Does AC A resolve the potential issues with physicians who aren’t thorough enough?

Hello,

I have a few basic questions about in/out games and would love to run them by someone.

Is anyone here offering tutoring services or looking for a study buddy specifically for logic games where we could bounce questions off of each other?

I have been previously invited to a study group (thanks for the invitation) but I have decided to hold off on joining as I may not be of much help as I am solely focusing on logic games at the moment.

Thanks!

Hey guys I am currently averaging in the 168s and would like to eventually hit 175+. Would anyone want to be daily study buddies? Preferably someone who is also averaging around the same scores as I am. I think my strongest sections are LG, LR, and RC in that order.

Anyone have an idea why LSAC makes us wait nearly 3 weeks for the results of an online exam? lol

I mean, surely 7 to 10 days should be enough to certify the results of the Flex?

Admins: Is there a way we can search for certain subsets of RC Question Types? For example, if I'm searching for a particular kind of "Inference" question, can I narrow down a search by question stem wording? Come to think of it, is there even a way to search & create a problem set for RC questions by question type at all?

All: There's an RC question stem that reads along these lines: "Which of the following would most logically begin a paragraph immediately following the passage?" (e.g., PT1.1.27 - Psg 4 has a version of this). I know I've seen "continue the [usually final] paragraph," but I also feel pretty sure I've seen "continue the passage" Q-types in other RC passages as well, like multiple times.

Can anyone think of other passages w/ this kind of Q?

Thanks!

hi there! i've been seeing some folks on here talk about how they are fool proofing all the games from pt 1-35. i wanted to know if this is really recommended, as i usually only fool proof the games i am getting answers wrong in from pt 50 onwards. appreciate all of your advice

The scores for candidates who have an approved LSAT writing sample on file will be released one day earlier than was originally announced. Scores will now be released on 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, June 30, 2021.

So for those who do not have a writing sample on file, complete it as soon as possible to see the scores on time.

Why there is no explanation videos for some of the old LR question (PR 1-15 ish) ?

I’ve been studying for about 1 year now and I’m scoring in the low- to mid-160s, but I’m still averaging around -6 on LG. It’s really frustrating because it seems so easy for other people to improve LG but I feel like I’ve plateaued. My LG was originally really bad, I’ve definitely improved from a year ago but still miss at least 5 questions per section. I’ve worked through all of the Logic Games videos and practice sets in 7Sage and now I just try to do random practice sets. I’m improving on my time management but I still seem to find myself running out of time at the end of the section. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I thought the flaw in the argument was assuming that because half the total population was wiped out, that meant a good percentage of able-bodied people were too. but isn't B an incomplete answer? Even if the majority of the people who emigrated were old or infirm and not part of the labor force, couldn't those able bodied adults still have died from the famine?
