Dear Tutor, I am a little confused about when to move a "no" or negative indicator to the left in order to apply the "negate the necessary" rule. For example, I understand that " No Cats are Dogs can be diagrammed as such Cat-->/Dog Or Dog-->/Cat. However, what if there is a No on both sides? For example, Prep Test 111 Section 3 Question 18 Answer Choice: (B) reads "No people who understand their musical roots will be in the audience if the audience will not be treated to a good show." I almost diagrammed this by moving the "no" in the sufficient condition to the necessary condition, which would have made B correct. So, if there is a "no" or negative indicator on both sides, it is best to leave it be?

just got eye surgery and would be really helpful if I don't need to stare at the screen. #help

Whether you’re weeks in or just getting started, we’ve got tips to help you study with purpose and get results.

Is there a way to still have the blind review setting on without having the recommendations for which questions to BR? I want to practice my confidence in reviewing questions but it's difficult when this setting basically tells me what I need to BR. Thank you!

Hi! Could someone please tell me if there's a way I can take three-section practice tests? I don't want the experimental section affecting my analytics under the "Sections" tab simply because I skipped it during my practice tests, as seen below.

I take the August test on the 6th and I'm wondering what all I should do for the week before. Practice tests? Drills? Like I don't want to overdo it but also I know I need to stay in a routine.

I completed a PT on July 12 and got a 156, since then I have taken 3 more and got a 151, 152, and yesterday a 146. Has this happened to anyone else and has any idea why this could be happening to me? My diagnostic was a 148 and I find it very bizarre that I scored lower on yesterdays PT. Anyways, I am open to any advice that can help me!!

Hi,

I recently started studying and I'm signing up for the November Exam. For taking practice exams, would it be better for me to complete the whole curriculum first? Or do people usually take the practice exams/drills at the same time?

Not a super strong test taker, so I'm looking for the best way to manage my time!!

I am confused about how to classify the different question types into formal logic vs. those that use informal logic. For example, would you classify MBT as formal logic because it uses conditionals, but WSE as informal because it uses primarily the spectrum of support? Would other types fall in the middle, like SA, which some answers/questions involve conditionals and the spectrum of support?

Hello! Was working on this obsolete exam RC as practice and unfortunately only got 2/6 correct. Was wondering if anyone could please explain questions 16, 17, 18, and 20. Thank you!

I've been drilling questions for LR, and I just let the 7sage system decide what questions to pick for me. I was wondering if the way the drill chooses what questions to recommend for a future drill is by 1) adding more questions of the type I have answered wrong and 2) adding more questions of the type I have spent a long time on. I feel like I see a lot of the same questions types (weaken, parallel flaw, etc) and I just wanted to make sure that it's not because the system is just giving me more questions that I spend a lot of time on. I just worry if I am not getting enough practice with the other question types. I know I can just drill by type, but I would rather have a mix that the system chooses.

I never took science past grade 10, and know nothing lol. Do people with 0 science knowledge have any tips on how to better understand them?

Anyone have any reading comprehension tips or advice that helped you answer the questions more accurately?

Hey y'all! I recently took a PT and got 166 on the first take and 176 on BR. I think this disparity is because I go way too fast through the questions and end up making dumb mistakes. I try to remind myself to go slow while taking the test, but it never seems to help. Any tips on how to slow yourself down and ensure you are fully thinking through the questions?

I cannot seem to get above a 176 on my blind review. I am grateful that I test at around the same level as my BR (171-175) but I also recognize that I am not going to be able to get above a 175 if I am not doing so on the blind review. I do the wrong answer journals (why did I get this wrong - what was my thinking - why is the correct answer right - why didn't I think it was right - what type of mindset/strategy is necessary for me to get it right next time) and I even log trends in wrong questions. I even have a vocab list I study. I just cannot get past this plateau. Any advice would be helpful

Hello,

I joined a 12-week fundamentals virtual group class back in June. I have been drilling and practicing questions untimed, but have not taken a full practice test or done timed drills. I took a diagnostic test back in March.

When should I begin doing timed practice? or should I hold on until I’m done with the course in August? I definitely think timing is a weakness for me, but hate the idea of wasting practice tests if I’m not ready. Thanks!

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for specific drill templates that can be effective similar to the 15 LR in 15 min template J.Y. suggested in the core curriculum.

Thanks!

Suppose the stimulus to a parallel reasoning question was something along the lines of:

A⊃B

B⊃C

C⊃D

A,

Therefore D.

And one of the answer choices read:

W⊃X

X⊃Y

~Z⊃~Y,

W,

Therefore Z.

The sentence '~Z⊃~Y' is the contrapositive of Y⊃Z, and so just as the first argument is valid, so too is the second. But I was wondering if, in a parallel reasoning question, they will ever give an answer choice that utilizes the contrapositive.

Sorry for my poor ability to formulate a question.

After getting 177-180 consistently on my PT, I got a 172 on a 2024 LSAT. Now I'm back to studying for Sept 2025 and am scoring in the 177-180 range on all my PTs again. Wondering how I can best use this time to ensure that I don't have the same test day performance drop? Any advice appreciated

I am signed up for the August LSAT, and I know that it automatically signs me up for an LSAT writing portion as well. I wanted to focus on strictly the RC and LR LSAT portions in August, so I was considering taking the writing portion on a different testing cycle. Am I able to submit an LSAT writing independent of the LSAT? For example, could I submit the September LSAT writing and the August exam into my applications, or do I have to submit the writing and exam from the same month?

Hi there.

How are you guys formatting your wrong answer journals in order for them to be maximally effective?

If I used a fee wavier I apply this 7sage as well?

I have been doing really well on the first 60-65 questions of my practice tests, getting very few wrong, but it is in the last dozen or so questions on the final LR section of the tests where I am getting a majority of my questions wrong. I am aware that the test gradually gets harder throughout the section, but I am unsure why I am struggling so much with this part because I get most of the harder ones right when I drill. Should I be practicing harder drills? If anyone has advice on this problem, let me know.
