How is the answer to PT 7 S4 Q8 E?

Hi all,

I’ve been studying since January, it’s taken me a bit to finish the CC since I have the Ultimate + version, but now that I have I’m trying to plan how to best spend my remaining time before the taking July test. My plan was to take a day to review all the content I went over and redo the LGs from the CC and then after that just take as many prep tests as I can.

The issue is I work full time, so my only times to study are on the weekends and maybe for an hour or two after work on weekday nights if my brain cooperates. I tried to take my full days remaining and split them up with half of them being reserved to take full prep test, and half of them to BR those prep tests. There are full 2 weekends and 1 full weekend day between now and the test that I won’t be able to study for so I’m getting a little nervous. I’m hoping to make it through 7 full prep test but that doesn’t feel like enough. Should I also be trying to do a section of a prep test every weeknight I can?

Since I only have time for a couple of tests, should I be prioritizing the most recent PTs or are there certain ones I should cover first?

Hi everyone,

Does anyone want to BR PT 86 or 85 this week before the June exam? Please message me or reply if interested!

Anybody have any tips on how to improve in reading comprehension? It has consistently been my worst section throughout my studies, and from what I've heard most people feel the same way. I feel like this section has the least amount of study resources in any curriculum as well, lol. However, anybody who's strength lies in this particular section have any insight on how they succeed? Or anybody who has improved in this section have any advice? There has got to be a way to improve here other than just being a natural, right ??

This might seem like silly question, but anyone who is left handed have a way that they have figured to cover up rules while going through the games? I have noticed that covering up the rules with your fingers is often suggested. However, I think this is only effective if you are right handed, lefties end up working over their right arm.

Has anyone used Ellen Cassidy's new LR book -- The Loophole. There seem to be rave reviews on Reddit. If you have used it, is there anything revolutionary about it? Are its approaches similar to 7Sage's?

Hi friends, I'm using a Manhattan Prep book just to get more LG practice, 7Sage is clearly superior ;), and I'm struggling to figure out how they arrived at their solution. It's an open grouping setup with the following:

5 condominiums R Q S T V each has at least one of three features - F, H, M.

Rules:

Q has fewer features than S

P and T have exactly one feature in common

Both Q and V have hardwood floors

P has more features than any other condominium

I tried to write out their solution but it doesn't show up correctly on here so if anyone has solved it and can explain how they got to their board that would be awesome #help Thanks!

What do yall think are the toughest logic games in the 50s 60s and 70s? Just the test number and the game. EX: Test 68 game 4.

Hi fellow June test takers, I would love to hear your insight on three things related to the last PT you will take before the test.

The reason I am asking is because 1) I only have time for 1 more PT before the test; 2) my latest PT was PT81, and I am not sure if I should take PT82 or PT86; 3) I am OK with LG, but having difficulty with LR and RC. I read from a reddit post that LR in PT85 and PT86 are wordier. If this is true, I should really familiarize myself with the newer test.

Thanks in advance!

PSA: The Judicial candor passage from PT 82 is in my opinion one of the best comparative passage to learn from. When done properly, you could conceivably eliminate 80% of answer choices before moving onto passage B.

Just got an email from LSAC. Scores for the July test administration will not be released until August 28 due to the increased scrutiny and research they must do after introducing a new mode of test delivery. I'm sure many anticipated this, but I was actually under the impression that scores would come out sooner for some reason with the digital format. Just something to be aware of for all you July test takers out there. I think the best approach is to continue preparing for a September retake if you anticipate taking advantage of the score cancel/free retake option. There won't really be enough time after August 28 to jump back into LSAT prep.

how the f*ck am i supposed to get these hard LR questions right??? they take me like 10 mins to figure out and i STILL get them wrong lmao

Hi all! So I'm preparing for the July 15 test, average is 169, and BR is almost always above 170 (took a bit of a hit transitioning from PTs 36-44, and now in the 70s). Working me bum off to routinely score 170+.

I am planning on taking 3 PTs/week (being okay with only 2 if time gets away from me--- I'm a full time grad student). Spending 20 hrs/week studying.

Because I'm doing so much BRing, I started to think that skipping the BR on the first 7 (or 10) LR questions for one out of three PTs each week would save massive time where I don't feel like I am actually gaining that much. The reasoning always seems natural, and I almost always get all of these questions correct.

Help me check myself: am I being lazy, or it this a fine strategic use of time?

I have been watching the 7sage videos. I have tried Blueprint, Powerscore, so I might as well see if 7sage has anything to offer me. I do want to try an untimed logical reasoning section, and explain my reasoning. However, I do have several questions.

I do admit, in the idea of practicing logical reasoning, there is more sense on eliminating the wrong answers, than knowing off the top of the bat that you have the right answer. One thing I have learned from Powerscore, is to separate the contenders from the losers.

Hello friends,

I was stuck on this question for a long time, trying to figure out what is going on. In the end, I think I got my head around it. Can someone check my work please?

The conclusion : To protect public from erroneous info ---------> Medical Research Findings are public.

It seems like:

Conclusion : C ---> A

The answer choice (A) seems to say B ---> A, which is the missing link. Then everything chains up nicely.

C----->B (-----) A.

Am I stretching what the actual words are saying to fit them into the clean logical chain?

Please help me :(

How did you achieve AC “D”. I don’t see what you linked it to.

Does anyone else have this problem? Early morning PTs were no issue but since June is in the afternoon, I started taking them around that time and have noticed that's usually when my brain feels like shutting down. Maybe its because of lunch? Maybe it's because I tend to wake up early. I dunno but has anyone figured out how to overcome this themselves? I'm thinking about eating an early and light lunch or taking a power nap/meditating before the test might help but haven't tried that.

I was wondering if some of yall could post examples of how you BR the logical reasoning section. I am stuck in the 20-22 per section and would really like that to be 22-24.

I often make the mistake in flaw questions of -choosing an answer choice that's descriptively accurate and COULD describe a flaw, but doesn't describe THE flaw in the argument. For example: LSAT 86 - Section 1 - Question 19. I chose A. Any suggestions on how I can tackle this?? Pleeeease #help. Flaws are my biggest weakness and I'd love to improve.

There is nothing of substance in this post I just really felt the need to say HOLY F**K I AM SO NERVOUS I WANT TO THROW UP

would some one please help me understand how to properly translate answer choice E into formal logic? i have some idea from the discussion in the video explanation, but im having issues identifying the cues that led to these translations.

I have come back to this question a few times and I still do not fully understand 1. Why D is wrong and 2. Exactly what C is saying.

This is my understanding of the stimulus and answer choice D: The more sunlight that is reflected back into space, the cooler the atmosphere. Snow and Ice reflect more sunlight back to space so the argument concludes that earth's surface covered with snow/ice would be cooler. So if D is correct and the atmosphere derives most of its heat from passage through the sunlight through it AND if snow/ice reflects more of that sunlight back to space than land without snow/ice, wouldn't this strengthen the conclusion?

I am not really sure what I am missing here. None of the online explanations seems to click with me so any help/feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

This was a difficult question about dinosaurs, fossil evidence and their argued relationship with reptiles. Many users chose AC D) but E) is correct. I can't seen to figure out what the "two present-day" phenomena are, can anyone help a gal out? THANK YOU

Can you all take a look at this PT. I don't understand it all and I am getting aggravated, please.

LR is my lowest scoring section by far! I'm getting really concerned about this. Are there any tips you guys recommend that will help me improve this section??

Should i just be practicing over and over again? or is there a better technique or trick for some questions that will ensure I get the right answers?

Anything helps! Im getting anxiety about this.
