Since I don't have an paid account, please pardon me to ask a PT-related question in this manner.

Here is a part of the second paragraph:

"Ellison found these criticisms to voice a common demand, namely that writers should censor themselves and sacrifice their individuality for supposedly more important political and cultural purposes. He replied that it demeans a people and its artist to suggest that a particular historical situation requires cultural segregation in the arts. Such a view characterizes all artists as incapable of seeing the world--with all its subtleties and complications--in unique yet expressive ways, [...]"

I don't understand how could Ellison inferred that the criticism made such a characterization "all artists as incapable of seeing the world_--with all its subtleties and complications--in unique yet expressive ways,".

Those critics attack Ellison by saying Ellison should devote more to a political change and to a distinct African American style. Where is the characterization about all artists' incapableness of see the world?

Thank you for the help.

I wanna discuss about P's reasoning method; especially how does P from M's words make this inference: "no one else could read them, according to your hypothesis."

is there any part in M's reasoning can P infer that people not knowing the epics well enough to write them down can't read them.

Thank you so much for the help.

Hi everyone!

Has anyone received an email yet about picking times for the upcoming April lsat?

I am looking for a study partner who is aiming to score around 175 or higher. I live in Miami, but your location doesn't really matter that much to me. I am consistently getting full-scores in the games section, so I am mainly looking to talk about RC and LR sections. We can talk over the phone, e-mails, or Skype whatever you prefer. I am taking the LSAT in Dec. Your age, race, sex etc do not matter one bit to me but just for your information: I am nearly 50-year-old, European woman and former professor of neuroscience specializing in memory and learning.

What should we expect in terms of LSAT Flex setup on test-day? (Does it take long to connect with our proctors after logging on, how does communication with the proctor work, and do we use our phones to scan the room?) Thank you!

For anyone who doesn't have access to an appropriate device and needed the LSAC to send you their tablet loaner to take the FLEX, did you have any problems with it? Did it come with a charger, keyboard, etc? Any thoughts on the experience overall?

I have been scoring -3 to -7 in LR disregard all the efforts I made just to improve my LR. I have read the manhattan prep LR, the trainer, the loophole and finish about 30-40% in 7-sage.... Any suggestions in how to improve LR?

How do we sign up for a specific time/date on the April Flex?

Hi 7Sage community!

I'm reaching out to you guys to see if I can get some advice on how to tackle RRE questions. I've been going through the pre-sets and I've been finding that I've been really struggling with them. So can anyone give some tips on how to handle RREs?

Studying for a summer retake and the newspaper game (4th on my Jan LSAT) is in the back of my mind. Is there any games like that? Though the probability of a similar game is low, I still want to be prepared.

I took PT 62 and it was an absolute dumpster fire. On my ten most recent PTs I've averaged 170+ but everything went wrong today. For the first time in months A) I didn't finish games and B ) I had to guess on some LR questions (I didn't get to every question).

I'm likely burnt out as I'm adjusting to my new full-time job and I'm struggling to find the right balance/study schedule. I got a 166 in January and don't plan to apply until Fall '22. I don't have a dream school, I just want to do my best and keep options open.

I'd love to get everyone's advice -- especially anyone who successfully retook. Thanks!

Do we know the order of the sections we'll see on the test? In the practice tests it seems to be random. Also, is the writing sample last and is there any break in between?

How do you print out logic games to review as JY suggests? Through here? On LSAT Prep Plus?

Nevermind! I learned figured out how to use the problem set generator and make PDFs from that

Hi,

To learn all the lsat tricks, I wanna discuss a flaw sentence. This is from PT30-S4-Q14 (E): "it fails to distinguish between a true claim that has mistakenly been believed to be false and a false claim that has mistakenly been believed to be true."

It basically means a guy confuses a contended true statement with a contended false statement. But, how is it even possible to frame an argument which commits such a fallacy? Say:

"Tom told me that the Sun is not the center of our universe, but there are numerous evidence disprove his assertion, thus what Tom says is true."

Does my example sentence manifest the fallacy? If not, could someone help provide an example sentence?

Thank you for the help.

Friends,

In order to practice conditional logic diagrams, does anyone know if there exists a list of LR questions that include conditional logic?

For instance, on PT59 / Section 1 / Game 3 there is an addendum with a list of similar LG questions: (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-59-section-1-game-3/)

Thanks in advance!

Can someone please explain to me how I should map out the substitution for rules questions in LG? The questions where it asks you how would substituting this rule for another rule have the same effect on the board is something that isn't clicking with me.

Hello everyone!

I have some slots open for a free LG tutoring section!

If you need help with any other parts I can help with those as well.

Although all contemporary advertising tried to persuade...only a small portion

I don't understand why E is right and C is wrong. Sufficient condition of being a good manager is failed in C so some must indeed B good managers on the basis of the premises. Is it not parallel because of that one extra step of failing sufficient?

40% chose C as the right answer and only 5% more percent got it right with E, yet I can't find a discussion of this difficult question anywhere.

Hi all,

Is there a GroupMe to join for the April 2021 LSAT takers?

For anyone who has taken a previous LSAT Flex, is it the same setup as the 7Sage practice tests where you can "X" out answer choices to make them muted or is there no option on the test?

I didn't want to leave a blank during the timed PT so I chose B even though I really didn't like any of the options at all even after BR.

For A, which is the credited AC, we are told OPV causes 12 cases + no natural cases of Polio each year while IPV causes only 6 + a "few" natural cases.

In this context, it appears to me that a "few" could refer to any single digit number given the values provided of the cases created by the vaccines in the stimulus. So if we take A to be true, then IPV total cases to be 6 + (2) through 6 + (5), could reasonably be a strengthener in my view. So could this choice not be a strengthen, neutral ((6) + (6)), or weaken, thus invalidating it?

Are we simply meant to infer that a "few" is defined in relation to the total population of North America, presumably some large number in the hundreds, if not thousands, and NOT in relation to the value of the "artificial" cases, 12 and 6 by the OPV and IPV respectively?

In the Core Curriculum we learned that “some” implies the possibility of “all.” But in a sentence like, “some of the lumber is cut to exact dimensions, some of it is not,” we have to exclude the possibility of some meaning “all,” is that right? Thanks!

I'm switching from working on individual timed games from the problem sets and lessons presented in the Core Curriculum to doing full LG sections from tests 1-35 and wondering if people have some rough timing benchmarks based on game type, number of questions, question types (new premise/suppose + new condition), etc. they use to manage their time across a whole section, to generally know what pacing to keep and when they're probably ahead or behind.

For individual games, I've been using the time stamp provided in the explanation videos for each game, which we obviously won't have on the real test.

It would make sense for this to be in a final wrap-up comprehensive lesson like the wrap-up lesson on board types, but I didn't see anything along these lines in the curriculum. #Help

Hi guys,

just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me (waiting for the Feb 2021 results) even though scores should have been released on March 10th.

I had to redo my writing portion due to a "security issue" which was submitted on March 9th. As of now, it says result pending.
