Im having some trouble with this question so I chose A because I thought that this is what was needed to make the conclusion valid and I didn't choose B because it says " must encompass MORE than " and I took the conclusion to mean that physical theories couldn't explain consciousness in any manner, can someone help me please? TYA!

I got no dietary restrictions, so with that said... any ideas on what food to pack 4 tomorrow's test?

I'm thinking of bringing an extra few (or more than few?) gallon bags to the test center to give to people who didn't realize they have to put everything in one. Maybe it will give me a few extra karma points?! Thoughts? Who's with me? #letsgo

Hi! I will be writing the LSAT in September, and I have 3 months in hand. I had started studying for the basics in late April, using PTs 52-61 and the LSAT Trainer and 7sage videos for logic games. I have been getting almost all of my LR and LG questions right by this point, but I take too much time to reach the answer in every question, especially in LR. What can I do now to work on my speed and keep up the accuracy?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

I'm currently a rising senior in college, and I intend to take the LSAT in September and begin law school in the fall of 2018.

I started my LSAT prep in late May, working almost exclusively with Logic Games for that duration. My timed scores have been consistently high for the past two weeks, but I almost inevitably miss a single question on each game. The missed question is almost always one of the easiest in the game, and my incorrect answer is always outside of the commonly selected wrong answers (according to the 7sage metrics.)

The situation is derived from a consistent pattern of mindless/silly mistakes, and I've struggled with this kind of thing since elementary school. Even using blind review, even after reading every word in a passage twice and out loud, I end up writing down a rule wrong, or bubbling in a letter different than the correct answer I just identified.

I know that the canned answer to this is to drill, and trust that over time I'll sharpen up and the necessary skills will develop. That said, I wanted to reach out and field any advice from others who may share a similar personal weakness. Even if focus/detail is your forte, I'd love to hear your stratagem and facilitate a discourse on how to remain keen, especially when practicing with time restriction.

Thanks!

Yeah. So fool-proofing LG can contribute to other, transferrable aspects of the test. I've basically committed the past 6 weeks to the bundle while "neglecting" LR and RC. But now, as I mix in some those sections, I find that the habits I've instilled from LG remain regardless of the section.

Keep on pushing ya'll. If you're aiming for Dec like me, it's not too late to master games. Good luck!

Hello guys,

ive been consistently scoring 20+ on RC yet in the last few days I've been getting scores as low as 14

i suspect its a sorting issue as i haven't been able to properly triage the passages in terms of difficulty.

should i be worried ? do i go back to doing them in the sequence that they're originally presented ?

id hate to change strategy so late in the game.

thanks

hi friends, does anyone know if

any info appreciated, good luck to everyone, may we all get into our dream schools xx

Okay so this one I really don't understand. The question talks about changing days of the year so that the days no longer shift.

It states: Many scheduling problems could be avoided if the last day of each year, and an additional day every 4th year belonged to no week.

The stem says: The proposal above, once put into effect, would be most likely to result in continued scheduling conflicts for which one of the following groups?

The correct answer is B.) Employed people whose strict religious observations require that they refrain from working every 7th day.

What....how would they have a continued scheduled problem? Every 7th day they don't work. What's the issue here? Do I assume that work would say "Hey, you don't get to take that 7th day off because of your religion?" I feel like it requires me to assume things that it shouldn't. Or maybe I am missing the idea completely....

Is this a terrible idea ....?

Hello everyone!

I am in the middle of reviewing PT 68 section 1 question 24.

I had a question about the answer choices.

Is answer choice E translating into "If there is a reasonable solution to the problem of overdue water bills in the city -> enact a law that classifies water bills as taxes" or is it the other way around, enacting a law that classifies water bills as taxes as the sufficient condition. I know that "the only" signifies a sufficient condition but sometimes I get confused from time to time and mistake it for necessary condition depending on where the term "the only" appears in the sentence.

Thanks a bunch for your inputs!

Can someone tell me the difference between Weaken Questions and Stregthen Questions, and how to find the answer.

Was wondering if someone could give me an explanation in there osn words

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-10-section-2-game-4/

Can someone please explain how we arrive at answer choice D from the stimulus?

If I understand correctly, not routinely unpunished (/RU) equates to sometimes unpunished.

We get /RU by negating the chain presented in the stimulus which is /CH->MG->/RU

From there the author shifts from "routinely" (/RU) to "never" (/U).

So why does the correct answer say confuses "routinely" with "sometimes"? Since the conclusion says never unpunished, I figured it would be confuses "never" with "routine" or "sometimes."

JY's video explanation offers no insight here, but I'll post the link anyways.

Hey, I generally read all the answer choices, but I thought it would save time if not. So, I am essentially asking is it better to be safe than sorry or save time? Thanks!

Can anyone who took this test pm me? Thanks

I have a hard time identifying exactly what the author's attitude is. Can anyone shed a little light on this subject ?

Is it ok to translate "Writing can only succeed if it meets the expectations." as:

"Meet Expectation --> Succeed"

or

Is it "Succeed --> Meet Expectation"?

I don't know if we see a sentence like this on LSAT, but I just saw this sentence in real life and got confused by its placement of the word "only."

So I chose D because I thought that the conclusion of the stimulus was that the US is behind in the sense that they should make these safety regulations a requirement not that they aren't actually safe because in the stimulus it says that they are all successful in reducing occupational injuries and I thought it was reasonable to infer that it would start out as volunteering then lead to a law.

I thought A was incorrect because we're speculating, we can't possibly know what will happen in the future unless were told something in the stimulus, so long story short, I am confused haha, can someone explain this one to me please? TYA!

I will be taking the June LSAT and I find that I sometimes struggle to finish the entire RC section. I am consistently in the middle of the fourth passage when 5 minutes are called, of course, making me nervous and unsure of the most effective way to approach the question. Does anyone have advice on how to approach the last passage without much time? Yesterday I took a PT and tried to skim the passage before approaching the questions, that proved ineffective. I am striving to get a 170+ on the LSAT and so this is a section I truly feel I need to have a strategy when approaching. Any advice would be appreciated!

It seems I am in a pretty unfortunate situation! When I began taking the practice tests, my scores were steadily increasing, to the point that I was achieving 15+ points over my baseline score for the first LSAT I took without studying. However, over the last week each PT I take I see my score decrease more and more to the point that I am now back at my baseline score. I don't understand why as I went through the 7Sage program and feel as though I am really understanding all of the questions. I am hoping to get a 170+ on the June LSAT and this is a seriously huge setback. Does anyone have any advice for me? I am truly beginning to loose hope on my score and there's only 5 days until the LSAT! Crying forever, SOS I would appreciate any advice, insight, or personal experiences!

What up gang, 6 days til D day, who's pumped!!!???

Anyway, I trying to drill Logic games tonight and tomorrow, wondering if anyone has a list or some examples of "The forgotten few" as Powergames calls them. Those are Pattern, Circular Linearity and Mapping Games. I'm going to start looking through my past tests for examples, and I'll post the PT number and section of those I find for anyone interested, but thought some crowd-sourcing could save us all some effort :)

I have found a pattern of question I continuously get wrong. I think I know why I get it wrong too. In part it's not having a clear enough understanding of exactly which flaw I am seeing, but the other part is I can not understand what the heck the answer choices mean. An example of this question type is 49.2.18 (test, section, question).

The answer choices say thing like;

E.) Takes for granted that a phenomenon that can best be understood as having certain properties can best be understood only through reasoning that shares those properties. ---------- What did the test just say to me? Should I be offended? Is it insulting my mom?

Or

C.) Fails to distinguish adequately between the characteristics of a phenomenon as a whole and those of the deliberately isolated parts of that phenomenon. ---------- I think it's saying "Doesn't show the difference between the whole and the parts" but I am not sure.

These answer choices appear on every test, in one convoluted way or another, and each time I trip fall, pick a bubble and move on.

Advice for unpacking these answer choices, and maybe to addressing flaws better?
