Im so confused by a rule in this game which looks like an inclusive "OR BOTH" rules but in the video J.Y diagrams it as a "NOT BOTH"... can anyone help me understand why?

Hi,

Based on all the discussion online, this question seems to be very infamous, so anybody who can help me here would be a genius.

I was stuck between A and E here-- they both looked so good, so I ended up sticking with E (the wrong answer) because E had slightly more accurate terminology (I thought that maybe "environmental consequences" in A may not be the same thing as "environmental degradation" as stated in the stimulus and E). A ended up being the right answer (not surprised there), but how is E wrong?!?

My prephrase here was that: "Thus, the electric car will not result in an abatement of environmental degradation caused by auto emissions"

E looked right to me because abatement (according to the dictionary) seems to mean the same thing as "net reduction". As a result, E looked like a perfect answer almost word for word.

Can anybody explain why E here is completely wrong?

Thanks!

Best regards

Im about to begin drilling LG's and so im wondering is there some recommended sequence i should go in? For example, should i do all order/sequencing games first, then grouping, then hybrid games? Also, since the question bank has super detailed categories for games, are there any i should begin with first? Thanks a lot

I am working on the LG section of the CC. I am fool proofing all of the games as I go through them, examples and timed sections. How much time should I plan to give between runs on a particular game? After writing a game out 3-4 times (twice a day), I am able to get it down quickly, but I also feel like I am just memorizing. Is there a particular set of games that we are supposed to full proof or just do them as we go? I am also planning on testing in August, so I have about 3 months to work with.

Flaw questions give me hell. I cannot initially grasp the type of flaw even though I know there is a flaw somewhere. And when I go to the answer choices, the multitude of trap answers consume time.

Has anyone taken the May LSAT-Flex on a Surface Go tablet/ laptop. I just want to see how your experience was. I am a bit anxious as when I test my camera on the proctor U site, the camera freezes a bit. I want to know if this is normal or if I should think of using a different laptop.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

For those of you who have mastered LR: Did you incorporate information from various resources such as 7Sage, The Loophole (by Ellen Cassidy), Powerscore, etc. or focus solely on 7Sage?

From previous conversations I've gathered some supplement 7Sage with The Loophole.. before I dive into this approach is there any advice for potentially avoiding any confusion (conflicting explanations, for example)?

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi,

Answer choice E here is the correct answer choice. We know that the author approves of some of effects of the traditional method because of line 18-19. However, I still have trouble finding evidence of the "partial disapproval of the method"; to me, it seems like the author fully disapproves of the method, going as far as to argue for his own narrative-based method.

Any #help would be appreciated!

Strengthen and Weakening questions are one of the four pillars of modern LR. I am going to share how changing my mindset and process helped me go from being a very average test taker who was often down to 2 answer choices ( and always seemed to choose the wrong one or change on BR) to mastering these questions.

I want to enable you not only to get these questions right more consistently but also to help you find the right path to taking control of LR and your testing experience. If you have struggled with these questions or felt under-confident during LR, please join me on Saturday!

So I've been working on really getting good at recognizing all the potential numerical distributions in certain logic games and I wanna know how some of you are going about dealing with them. When exactly is the best time to go about figuring out all of the potential distributions? Or better, how do you know when finding out the distributions will actually prove as beneficial and not a waste of time? Does anyone think it is never a waste of time to do them every time possible (if you're really good at logic games)? Powescore says it's a critical tool which I agree with but how consistent are you supposed to be with using this "critical tool".

Hey fellow 7Sagers,

I was wondering if you guys had strategies you could share about how to best review/blind review an RC section?

Cheers,

Helpppp. I can't see the difference in reasoning between answer choice A and B. What am I missing here? Is B correct because the person is losing a property rather than 'suffering' as answer choice A states? Thank you!

Hi,

So I can see why C is definitely a better answer choice than all the rest. However, I find myself confused by the fact that I am not sure how we can tell that the author thinks that doctrine of precedent is a "useful tool" here. Can anyone #help me with this?

Thanks!

Best regards

Hi,

So this question was really bugging me: I was easily able to eliminate B, C, and D. However, E (which was actually a wrong answer choice) just didn't look like it was found in the passage because although "meadows and glades" were mentioned on line 28, I couldn't find evidence that these were found "in forests".

In addition, I crossed out A (which was actually the right answer) because, despite the fact that they mentioned how all the fires "varied" from one another, I thought E was a trick answer choice and line 26 showed a possible similarity-- that if all the fires all had different effects from natural fires, this counted as a similarity.

Can anyone explain how we can know that E's "meadows and glades" were found in forests, and why A is right?

All #help would be appreciated!

Hey guys just wanted to impart some wisdom. Sufficient Assumptions questions are easy if you follow this 4 step process.

1.Identify Conclusion/Understand it

Identify Premise/Understand it

Isolate the Conclusion(Important)

Anticipate a Trigger that would force the the conclusion to happen

Instead of thinking about SA questions like you need to fill in the blank. Think of them like a handgun. All you need to do is pull the trigger. All SA is a pull of the Trigger/or a push of the roller coaster button. Once you start to think like this they become so easy.

DM me with any questions if this helped

What is the most effective way to approach flawed reasoning questions?

Any tips would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

ANY tips on how to summarize a stimulus in a quick way?

I find that for logical reasoning questions after about question 15 and above - the stimulus' gets harder.

It becomes hard for me to pinpoint what I just read...

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I've practiced a lot on pinpointing what the conclusion and premise is, but how would i quickly summarize what i just read so i can move on and tackle the question?

thanks in advance

In hindsight I understand why D is correct (PT 3 section 2 Q 9), but I eliminated it because in the STIMULUS the comparison was to the same amount of whole milk. The question stem tells us that the coconut oil doesn't "usually cause" the blood cholesterol level to rise which allows us to consider the fact that people use more of one product than another. Is this type of chunky question stem that allows for a gap in reasoning that wasn't present in the stimulus happen in other LSAT LR questions? Or is this abnormal since it's a very old test?

Hi,

The answer here was D. However, I thought D here was wrong because the stimulus never explicitly mentioned anything about "total" emissions-- it just said that the cars spend more time spewing emissions. Can anyone explain to me why D is right?

Any #help would be appreciated!

I purchased the 7 sage curriculum along with the LSAC prep test bundle so that I could view the questions and answers. Neither the link from 7 sage, nor the email link sent by LSAC will let me “activate” my profile. I can’t reach anyone from LSAC, so I’ve been unable to fully utilize my purchase for over a week now. Any advice?

I've been doing a lot of RC sections lately as it's one area I'm trying to improve at. My scores have definitely gone from an average of -10 to -8, to about a -2 to -5. Normally I'm at about a -4. However, I've been doing older RC passes - 20's and 30's, because I've been wanting to save the newer ones. I've become concerned upon reading that RC passages are generally easier the older they are (some people have said significantly so) compared with the newest preptests. Is it even worth doing the older ones? How much harder are the newer ones?

Does anyone know if the CC has a list or if there's a lesson on this? Thanks!

Why are the target times (LG) under the video explanations often different from the target time listed in the "timing" column in the results panel? It seems like the latter are almost always a little longer. I have been going off the ones under the videos, but it is very difficult. Which do you reference?

Thanks

Does anybody have any tips for how to determine when to use conditional statements or rely on intuition to answer sufficient assumption questions? Or should we always be mapping out the stimulus using lawgic? I’m having trouble using this method efficiently, and would appreciate any advice you might have! Thank you in advance!

I'm taking flex in a few days, and I've been drilling LR timed sections. I don't know what's going on but my 2nd LR is always always better than my 1st. I'm talking like from -8 to -1 flutuation on the same test. Am I overthinking 1st LR and just more relaxed on the 2nd, what's going on? Anyone else have suggestions, thank you.
