I'm confused what the passage is actually saying here, and while I can vaguely see why AC E is the correct answer choice, I'm wondering if someone could explain what the LR passage is saying. Is the passage suggesting that the fossil record tells us Beetles developed earlier than the pollen? Not sure if I am allowed to post the whole question here or not...

If you have done this passage and got Q14 right, would you mind explaining your thought process? The passage says "the second rationale is that a punishment is justified by severity of a crime." This leads me to interpret that the consequence (severity) of the crime matters to punishment. So I was looking at C and E. Can someone who has figured out this question explain where I went wrong? Thank you!

Hi everyone! I've been having some trouble with certain Assumption questions and I was wondering if I could get some quick help on them. The questions typically state "Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument?"

Are these typically NA or SA questions?

I'm new to 7sage and I have been going through the curriculum. I like the idea of low resolution summary but I'm curious as to how you'll are doing this on the LSAT Flex where you are unable to write on the passage. Are there any techniques that you'll use for annotation?

Background: I usually score around -6 on LR and LG, but my RC grades usually sit around 50% incorrect answers. I'd like to get this down to the same level as the other two sections before I proceed with studying them further. (I haven't implemented the Low Res/ High Res summary technique on a practice test yet, before I didn't have any strategy at all.)

For the LSAC LawHub prep tests purchased with the monthly plan on LSAC's website, is there an option to switch the test to a Flex test like on 7Sages prep test Platform? Are others routinely taking the LSAC's prep tests to simulate the actual test day interface and then reviewing the questions with explanations from the corresponding test on 7sage? Looking for the best way to incorporate the LSAC tests with the 7 sage explanation material.

Hey y'all. I went through the entire logic games curriculum several months ago and I'm currently making my way through every logic games section of the PTs on LawHub. I take a timed section each morning and then immediately go over it with the videos. I notice that sometimes I don't make inferences as quickly as should for how long I've been studying and I feel like I'm going to need to "warm up" the day of the test. Which games would you recommend taking the morning of to prepare myself to make inferences as quickly as possible?

I made great improvements in the LR section after using the loophole. On the pt's in the 60's and 70's i was usually -3 to -5. Since moving into the 80's though my scores have gotten much worse, anywhere from -5 to -8. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found that taking a break from timed sections and pt's to go back to doing translation and clir drills helped? That is what helped me get to -3 on the earlier pt's but i am scheduled to take January and taking a break from timed work scares me. Appreciate any feedback you may have!

Hi all. Nearly all of my last bit of prep has been focusing on getting my RC better/more reliable. Sometimes, I can get -0 on a timed section I've never done before, and then turn around and get -4 on a timed section that is a redo and I took it only 2 months ago. I'll even swing as far as a -7 or -8 on new, timed sections. There seems to be very little rhyme or reason. Not only that, but a lot of the time, I won't even get the same answers wrong as I did the first time. For example, I retook an RC section today and got -4 compared to -5 when I initially took it. And, the ones I got wrong this time were ALL ones that I got correct the first time. It makes me not even want to study for RC because I feel like nothing I do matters-- I may do good or I may do bad, but it truly does all feel like it's up to chance. Like obviously I should have been able to get those four questions correct, as I've done so before. Anyone else struggle with the same thing and found a way to get their variability in RC down? Thanks.

I don't understand how A would strengthen the argument. If even a few members of Group B ate nutritious breakfasts and didn't increase their productivity as much as Group A did, wouldn't that weaken the argument even if Group A has a stronger correlation between eating nutritious breakfasts and increasing in productivity? And when A says few in Group B had nutritious breakfasts, can that be translated as "most did not have nutritious breakfasts?"

Does anyone know how one would go about Blind Reviewing a Preptest from LawHub? I find it unfortunate that they automatically score your results.

Hey all!

I just scored a 156 and BR'd a 164 on PT 82 (the Flex version) this may not seem like the best score to a lot of people but my first diagnostic last year was a 142 - so to me, this means the world because it means progress!

I am still very anxious as my goal is a 160 for the January Flex test, so I would like to be scoring between a 161-163 (or higher lol) for going into January. My weakness lies in RC, I've come a long way but just can't seem to find any consistency in it.

Wondering if anyone knows anything about this RC section (is it an easier one or is it average?) Also wondering what study tips were most effective for you in RC. I've been doing as many passages as I can, blind reviewing, and going through the answers in JY's videos. I've found this to be really helpful but as always I'm open to suggestions! I also scored -10 on this LR section which I think is unusual for me.

Yay to progress and staying positive!

Hey guys,

I scored a 155 on the november LSAT. I did practice tests 74-89 and the flex exams. I want to get into the 160's. I am really unsure on how to study for this month and a half. Any advice?

"have another question about what JY means by memorizing all the inferences for the logic games. Lets say I memorize all the inferences like he says, the problem I is when test time comes I will be presented with a brand new logic game with a completely different set of inferences than I have memorized. The moment I'm given a new test wouldn't I be starting at square one again? Or isn't it like being asked to memorize a maze in order to find your way around a completely different maze? Am I not understanding something? Is is not so much "memorizing" as it is consciously understanding all of the inferences? Because if I memorize all of the inferences then I can get through the game without even thinking about what I'm doing. Does that make sense? Thanks for your help."

When I go back to the older games, I just completely blank out on them and need to watch video explanations to even have a shot but I feel by memorizing the game, it somehow takes away from the learning process? What am I supposed to do when I am stuck on a game?

Hello!

This questions is LR and QS ends in "logically completes the argument" making it a MSS or MC question (I believe MSS but I could be wrong about that.

"Rate of inflation and Rate of Return."

If anyone has a good understanding of the question and the answer choices, I am very lost as to how to get to the correct answer.

Thank you!

Hi, I took the LSAT in August scored a 138. I retook in November and used the LSAT Trainer and really studied. I scored a 134. I dont even know how thats possible. What do you guys think I can score by January Lsat?? I don't understand why I'm doing so bad. I start 7 sage today.

Long story short, I've taken the LSAT 3 times. Please I don't want to hear, "well if it hasn't worked yet then you're not meant to go to law school." I took the test in October and I was not on my A game.That's not what I'm asking. It's my dream and I'm giving it one more go. I'm so hopeless with LG. Doesn't matter how many explanations or charts I see I'm stuck in the same spot I have been for 5 years. I've accepted that LG and I will never happen. I'm trying one more time for the test in April. I spent almost a month from the beginning of November to now just focused on LG and I have squat. Now I don't need a score in the 160s or 170s to go the schools I want, I'll settle for anything in the 150s. I'm starting to think of methods how I can still achieve this. Would it be smart that if in around another month I still haven't made progress in LG to focus on getting more points in LR and RC? Because since the flex test is around 74-78 questions, based on a score calculator, I would need to get about 40 right to be in the 150s. I'm open to any kind and respectful advice. Good luck to everyone.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experience with my first time taking the LSAT to give people some hope given my situation. I have been studying for the exam consistently since June, but it has been a bit of a challenge trying to balance everything considering that I work full time. I have been thru tutoring, the LSAT Trainer, 15 PT’s, and now I’m reading thru the Powerscore LG Bible and Ellen’s Loophole to LR along with the 7Sage Curriculum. I have felt so discouraged because I have barely ever broken 150 on a PT, Consistently scoring in the high 140’s. I was expecting to see around the same score on the November LSAT-Flex, and I checked my score to see a 154 for my first time ever taking the LSAT. For context, the highest I have ever scored was a 151 on a PT. I never thought this would be possible! It may not seem like that much of an accomplishment to some but for me it is giving me the hope to keep going to increase my score to the mid-160’s. I was losing hope for a little while, but to see that score really gave me the confidence boost to keep going!
