I have been studying my butt off for LG, but I cannot for the life of me break 14/2x when I PT. I only have 2 months left to study, starting to feel hopeless. Any tips other than the repetition one? Cause that is not working for me (obviously haha). Please help!

Do we have to change the "temporary password" given by LSAC for ProctorU?

Has anyone else full-proofed the so-called 'pattern', 'circular' and 'mapping' game types as a set?

PoweScore did a further breakdown of some of the games that 7Sage has labeled as "Misc". Curious if anyone else has done this and if this has helped them further recognize the any meta-inferences within these game types?

(for clarification what I mean by meta-inferences is like in In-Out games where the out group is full so everyone else filters in)

Hello everyone,

I was wondering, could any of you guys point me to actual LR Preptest questions that have circular reasoning as the flaw? i.e. - any questions that have "presupposes as evidence the conclusion that it is trying to establish." Preferably questions from before Preptest 39 would be really great! Thank you so much.

Whenever we are given [P→C] argument. I tend to see [C→P] as a correct strenthening answer choice. I understand that such answer choices try to a create connection between P and C, but isn’t this a negation flaw?

So in almost every PT I've taken, I do better on the first LR section than the second one.

I'm talking 3 wrong answer choices in LR1, and like 6-8 wrong answers on LR2.

is LR2 harder, am I just burnt out by section 3, or am I just insane?

I have an incredibly difficult time understanding a stimulus that is science-based or involves numbers. I found that PT5.S1.Q12 gave me an incredibly hard time due to not understanding the stimulus. I ended up having to draw out pictures, to truly understand what the stimulus was saying (https://ibb.co/5GKKtHY). Once I drew it out I was able to figure it out. Under timed conditions, I know that I would not have had time to draw it all out.

I am wondering if anyone else has had trouble with quickly understanding a science/number-based stimulus, and if so what you all have found to be the most successful way to overcome this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi I'm trying to locate a game - does anyone recognize these: the 5/10/Both savings accounts and which advisor is where

Why was the answer C, instead of B?

#help

Can someone explain why B is the correct answer choice? ("The concentration of oxygen-18 in seawater is increased")

Thank you so much to 7 sage and the 7 sage community! I could not have done it without you!

My approach:

I studied 6 hours a day while going through the CC (with a April LSAT date in mind). Once the LSAT was moved to May, I spent my last 5 weeks studying 4 hours a day 6 days a week. I was not moving through the practice tests fast enough with only doing 1-2 tests a week so I skipped the remainder of practice tests and went straight to the 2017-2019 LSAT tests. I found that I had a pretty good grasp on the knowledge and was very comfortable skipping questions. (I used the Powerscore skipping method for LG and the 7sage skipping method for LR). I then examined the analytics of which questions I was missing and found that it was usually when I was looking at the clock (Q5, Q13, Q15, Q20). I then worked on focusing strategies and being aware of when I was actively answering a question and or just passively answering a question. I knew that I wasn't being active if I didn't look at the question stem and use the 7 sage techniques to find the answer (ex: looking for the beam in weakening). That increased my score to the 160 mark. The last 3 weeks I went through an LSAT section each day answering the questions out-loud with a friend. That helped a TON with processing what each answer choice was actually saying and having to defend my answer.

Note: I never mastered the harder questions as the end of the LR but I was able to identify if I knew the question or not. I was scoring -0,-2 on LG and -6 on RC.

In questions where it is appears that there is a Sufficiency/Necessary issue, are there examples of questions where the SA/NA answer is a trap? I find myself spending way too much time trying to decipher if the stimulus is mistaking sufficiency for necessity or mistaking necessity for sufficiency even when there is only one Answer Choice involving SA/NA.

Does anyone have an example where the distinction matters? My gut tells me to recognize the cookie cutters where you can find them and move on.

For example in PT 80 - Sec 4 - Q16, I knew B was right but for some reason was thinking the order of SA/NA in AC B matters (even though it does not) which made me think that maybe there was a sneaky trap (though I knew there really wasn't).

I go -1 or -2 on LR so don't think this really a foundations issue, more of a confidence thing. Thanks for any thoughts!

Hello,

This may have been touched on in the explanation videos somewhere but I must have overlooked it or something..

For LR, how do we use subscripts? Some of the explanation videos began using them and they appear useful so I would like to begin implementing it but I am not sure how it works, any clarity would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to an example video (question 3): https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/quiz-on-drawing-valid-conclusions-with-translations-2-answers/

Only roses are red. Only thorny things are red. There's a red thing in the flower garden.

Red->Roses

Red->Thorny things

Red (Subscript) Flower Garden ?

Not to come off dumb...in regards to LG-what does JY mean by memorize the sets? I am just beginning the LG section and he says this in the first couple of logic set questions we review. Does he mean literally write it over and over without even having the stimulus up? Or does he mean just drilling the same logic game over and over until you're under 5 minutes. I'm sorry just confused and want to do what he is telling me to do lol

Hello 7 Sage community,

Is there anyone that would be willing to work on reviewing LR sections from the 50's and 60's?

I am looking for someone to verbalize reasoning structure with to help build good habits. I lose mental discipline sometimes and get lured into AC's that isn't affecting the heart of the reasoning in critical arguments. My tutor forces me to articulate this when reviewing and I've found it helpful to find holes in my approach.

Please let me know if interested. My schedule is flexible.

Thank you!

I got 7sage mainly for logic games. And between now and my exam, I dont have time to go through the entire LR curriculum so Im wondering if theres any specific topics i should study in particular? I already have a solid LR foundation and do relatively well on LR sections but if theres any popular "must study" topics in the curriculum ill definitely check them out.

I am having a hard time with this section, any tips? I have the LSAT-Flex scheduled for July and I still can't get through this section smoothly. the other two sections I am ok with. I just find Logical Reasoning to be too wordy and get easily distracted with the answer choices.

I can't discuss the test material, but I do have a huge complaint about the flex. The proctor kept interrupting me during the test on every section because they couldn't see the paper I was writing on. It was absolutely ridiculous. They took up atleast 3-5 minutes on every section telling me to be in the camera. I was right infront of the computer but i guess when i put my head down to write they couldn't see what I was writing. These things were not notified to me and they didn't warn me about these possible interruptions. So, i was really disorientated when they proctor started talking during the test. 3-5 mins was only the actual time they took up, but by continuously interrupting, they kept breaking my concentration. It was absolutely ridiculous. I wanna add that I'm not a low scorer, im in the 170+ range. For future flex takers, firmly tell your proctor to SHUT THE FUCK UP before you take the test. Literally wasted a year of studying for the June test only to be sabotaged by the proctor in India. Excuse my language but you would understand if you were in my shoes.

Hi,

So I am just really lost on why the right answer here was B instead of A. Can anyone explain why B is right and A is wrong?

When looking at the question, I focused primarily on the last two sentences of passage A (kinda treated those last two sentences as a LR question).

As a result, A looked like it weakened the argument passage A gives in these last two sentences because it created a reason for the phenomena (of rich people usually paying about the same under progressive tax as they would under flat tax) to be surprising (and thus less "unsurprising").

In addition, I just didn't see how B weakens the idea that this phenomena was "unsurprising", and as a result, I thought B was incorrect.

Thanks!

My PT average is 170. I had to guess on three questions. Yikes. I could easily get anywhere from 157-175 on this one hahaha. Oh well. First real LSAT. I get 2 more tries before the clock runs out for apps. How did you guys feel?

Question about chest-playing programs.

I'm confused as to how this method can be used to compare chess-playing programs - to get the question right it seemed like you needed to know that you are only comparing one chess playing program to itself (there is no second program you are comparing to)? I'm having a hard time understanding how/why you would compare 1 chess playing program to itself run on two different computers.

Any insight?

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-79-section-4-question-25/

I am trying to develop a system for figuring out when a full game board in needed on LG. I am struggling to get my time down while still getting the games right.

One idea I had was to try and go ahead with the questions as fast as possible and if I identify the need for a game board after a question or two, to spend a few minutes building out game boards and then go back to the questions. These feels a bit messy though

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

if we have this statement

A --> B and C

Contrapose:

Not /B or /C --> /A

Simple enough

What if we find out only /C

then what remains?

Do we still get to run contrapositive?

What if this happens in a logic game Would (A-->B) still be the remaining rule?

How are you handling making notations on/for your RC - highlighting is not enough for me is the only tool available? I feel like I'm losing time writing down things.

This is the one question type I can't seem to be able to master after months of studying. I think my biggest problem is not having the right prephrase but overall just have a really hard time identifying subtle flaws. Does anyone have any suggestions that can help me improve identifying the flaw and also strategically eliminating answers?
