If you have a rule that says for example either P or L will be selected and you write the rule as /P->L and /L->P, could both L and P be selected?

Recently on a reddit post I found people saying it was okay to use command F on the flex test for RC and refer back to a specific part on a passage. This sounded kind of "sus" to me but I wanted to make sure and ask people here that might know. But if it is allowed that would be a major hack for myself and I'm sure many others, as I often have an idea of what a question is referring too and all i need is a way to quickly go back to that exact part in the passage and confirm my thoughts.

Hello! I am struggling during my PTs without being able to scribble notes next to important parts of the passage. Highlighting is okay, but it gets pretty distracting by the end with so many colors popping out at me. Does anyone have an efficient system (writing it out on paper seems to be taking too long) for marking your passages?

Does anyone have any tips for Must Be True or Necessary/Sufficient Assumption questions? I know they should probably be easy but they are the question types I consistently get wrong and find the hardest to understand

How do I print individual logic games from the problem sets?

I know it might be a little late but did anyone else have the August RC section with the bee's passage and the patriotism/ecocentrism comparative passage? I'm starting to think that it was one of the hardest reading comp sections I've ever seen and am wondering how others felt about it? The comparative passage could've been written in Sumerian and I would've had a better shot. Did anyone have this section and do well?

Hey,

Just an observation I've had. My logic games prep has been really focused on 1-35 with some 40s and recently some low 50s mixed in.

I've been working very hard on these earlier games for about 2 months, and have made a lot of progress. I started out totally sucking at games (-14 diagnostic) and through foolproofing, or a version of it, have gotten to -4 average or so, and still improving.

A few recent problem sets have totally killed me with conditional sequencing though, and I realized that this game type is very uncommon in early games, increasing in frequency (though still relatively rare) in later games.

Are there other trends like this to be aware of, in games specifically (besides substitution questions)?

I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for improving LR and RC scores? I am currently getting -9 to -11 for LR, and around the same for RC. I also am finding that I will sometimes miss easy ones on LR, but when I review, I don't understand why I missed it in the first place. And for RC, I feel like I understand the passage, but I get tripped up during the questions. #help

I am taking the flex exam on the 8th and RC is currently my worst section, probably because I've spent 99% of my time working on LR and LG. I have trouble retaining the information so have to read again and then lose time. On my most recent PT I got -4 LR and -2 LG, should I focus on keeping improving those or should I spend some time doing RC drills?

"[Jubilee] was to the spiritual what Hughes's The Weary was to secular songs."

This comes from PT2, Section 1, Q3, AC (E).

Can anyone translate this sentence for me please?

Thank you!

Hey all, I am new to 7sage and just created and took my first problem set, made up of questions from PT 1 logical reasoning qs. In the review portion, I only see "discuss" under explanation. How do I find the answer key/explanations for questions? When I look under the "explanation videos" I only see logic games and reading comp sections. Thanks!

I was stuck between B and C, and ultimately ended up going with C. I immediately crossed out D because I didn't think it was relevant. Would really appreciate someone's insight.

Hi everyone - just wondering if anyone else has trouble with doing RC on a computer screen. In general, I prefer to read things physically printed out (actual books, magazines, newspapers, etc). I notice that my focus is better and I retain more information. Since the LSAT is all online, I bought a tablet to acclimate myself to reading longer passages on a screen. Now that the LSAT is Flex and I can't use tablets, I'm finding that doing RC on my computer screen has been terrible for focus and info retention. I know I just have to keep practicing and getting used to it, but does anyone else have this issue and can suggest ways to get over it? Thanks!

Any tips on improving RC this October for the November Lsat? Im averaging -3 LG and -4 LR but keep my RC ranges from -5 to -13 on some tests? Any tips would be helpful

There is no way I will ever get this section. I am doing great with reading comp, ok with logical reasoning, but LG is seriously dragging my score down by an easy 10 pts.

I understand the conclusion is saying that the airlines should remove seats that impede the exit because many fatalities are due to the cabin design of the seats. Here is my issue, many = some.. so when I look at it this way maybe 1 collision is like this so maybe it is something else.. so if you know it isn't the seat belts then that would strengthen. I had A then changed it to E in my BR because of this.

I am really struggling to understand why B is incorrect. Would greatly appreciate someone's insight.

Does anyone have recommendations for a GOOD RC tutor? I have checked the regular tutor thread and I could not find good recommendations specific to RC. Alternatively, if people know of an outside tutor that has worked for them regarding RC I am willing to do that as well.

RC is the one thing that is keeping me from achieving my goal with the LSAT, everything else is fine and it is really frustrating to go from -3 to -10 on RC sections. Lately, it has been a downward slump. I notice what tends to happen is I get stuck in a passage trying to understand the minutae and that ends up eating up my time, and then I rush and panic for the other passages and run out of time. Ironically, when I have less time for a passage, I tend to do better.

Please #help !!!

Usually there a few questions that just out of my league.

I need someone, who close to -4

I went from averaging like 6-7 to 10+ in my 3 or 4 recent PTs, I mean does it get harder in the 80s or what is going on ? I am taking the test in a week so I guess it's panic time

LR used to be my strongest section but because LG and RC have improved so much LR now seems to be what is holding me back from the mid-170s and looking for some advice.

My hypothesis is that it is because I have not taken that many actual PTs (14 in total over the course of 7 months of full time studying with a lot of those in the past couple of months. (That being said, I have seen a TON of LR material: EVERY SINGLE LR question from PT 6-36; 72-81 (used as individual sections) and then my 14 PTs on top of that).

Overall I think this was a really good strategy because it gave me a good foundation in the basics but what I seem to struggle with is that there always seems to be a new cookie cutter or trick or flaw that I wasn't quite familiar with such that I could not get it right under timed conditions. When I do a new section; my average for an LR section is -2.5 but the variance is what worries me; sometimes I'll go -1, other times I'll go -4.

Whenever I don't understand a question under timed conditions, I print it out, rip apart the logic of the stimulus, write out why each AC is incorrect and why the correct AC is in fact correct and if it is a new logical form that I am unfamiliar with I have a whiteboard next to my desk that I right down the logical form on so that I am looking at it all day; I also put particularly interesting questions into playlists and study the logic of the question from time-to-time. All to say, I think I am doing all of the right things but progress in decreasing the variance has been slower than what I would have hoped.

Any feedback or advice from others who might have had this problem before?

(Side note - I have also worked on timing strategies as well and think I have something that works for me so I don't know if that is the problem either)

Hi there! I am new to 7Sage. Wondering how to see/check my answers after the mini quiz on LR main point? The site did not automatically "grade" my sections? Most likely user error! :) Help! Thanks!

I know JY and I think Mike Kim from The LSAT Trainer advocates focusing on the reasoning structure of the passage and letting it guide you through the questions, even though the content is completely foreign / hard to comprehend for you.

It's easier said than done, however, so how do you actually implement this strategy, without drowning in confusion? I find this harder for Comparative reading passages in which you cannot fathom the similarities and differences between the passages because you don't understand what is written at all (especially if the passages are about some kind of theory or law practice that I know nothing about).

Does anyone have any tips on: 1. not drowning in confusion; 2. using reasoning structure to answer the q's even though you didn't understand the content of the passages?

Why is E the better answer when compared to answer choice D? Would really appreciate someone's insight.

Anyone else feel like the difficulty on the earlier LR sections has an ENORMOUS variance? PT6 LR1, for example, went -0, with time to spare; PT6 LR2 on the other hand was hands down one of the hardest LRs I've seen!! (in my opinion).. somehow walked out of there with a -4, which I'm super proud of given the perceived difficulty of that section.

Anyone else feel this way???
