Yep, it has hit me again. I've seen my last two PTs sink below my average and I'm starting to get negative thoughts about game day. I want to take 4 more PTs and BR before the 24th. Should I just take off two days? I get super guilty if I take a couple of days off but I think I really need it.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Any advice on how to improve score on RC questions?

I chose (A) because I thought verbal explanations of those medical experts are not effective enough for judges and jurors to understand such testimony, which is explained at the end of the final paragraph, and "appreciation of the difficulty involved in explaining medical data" is explained in line 57-59.

(C) also looked a good choice, but I couldn't find the exact moment of "acceptance of accuracy of such testimony" in the passage.

Could you clarify why could (C) be better answer choice than (A)?

Thank you!

Hi all,

Do any of you have a list of all the strange games?

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-62-section-1-passage-2-questions/

7Sagers, I'm doing some BR and I'm really conflicted on this question. I have no idea what the answer is to this question yet (I wanted to get feedback from you guys first) so I have no idea if I've even narrowed it down to the right final two answer choices but here's where I'm at.

This is the passage about the permissibility of custom-made medical illustrations in the courtroom. The question says

Removed. Please see forum rules.

Here's where I'm at with the question:

a) I think this may be an implicit argument? But the passage in the third paragraph actually seems to be refuting criticism not directly making a stance yet

b) ~~~ B looks really good

c) Does she do this? I don’t see where it says that they aren’t permissible in the court room – just that they are more confusing than general illustrations

d) No, she doesn’t do that in this paragraph.

e) ~

I’m really stuck and torn between answer choices B and E and I’m not sure I can figure out what the differences are on my own. Both look really good. The objection in the second paragraph to custom-made medical illustrations is that they misrepresent facts to comply with a partisan interest. The third paragraph says that the complaint is that they distort the issues through a variety of means. Does this count as a variant then? It feels like it does

Answer choice E seems tricky because it’s not lengthy but the paragraph does say that it’s an issue of complexity and simplicity and that this is in effect the differences between the two. Both answer choices seem really good.

Can anyone explain to me why D is correct? This question is about the concert hall.

I finally took a full PT. I chose PT76 under time limit with 144. I finished most of the LG class and ready for LR course on. My goal is to enter 170s.

I got internship 4 of 5 days. I use the lsat blog schedule and use the 7sage course with reading LSAT trainer。

.How much I should do for drills before full section？ My LSAT is in December.Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Jon's conditional breakdown shows an example of how the answer choice has to be sufficient based on the argument...

someone said we can make it a double layer sequencing game representing the type of article (finance, nutrition, and wildlife) on the top row....what would the game board look like? could anyone draw the diagram or explain it a bit? thank you

I've been taking practice tests for about a month now (only 1 or 2 a week) but every test I've taken my score has gone up. It's making it really challenging to anticipate where I'll be on test day. Any thoughts?

Diagnostic: 156

June 2015 test: 160

Recent practice tests:

Pt 62: 165

Pt 63: 166

Pt 64: 167

Pt 65: 168

Pt 66: 169

My hope is to take PT 67-70 before test day, maybe those will give me a better picture?

I'm confused with definition and/or terminology. Is numbered ordering the same as basic linear ordering (with a number line), or is there a difference? [3D numbered ordering and Advanced Linear ordering]

Also is there any relationship between numbered ordering and relative ordering.

Please help. Thank you.

In your experience, which games in the 70s do you think are the hardest?

For me, I think 72 G4, 73 G4, 77 G3 (for the novelty) and G4 are some of the hardest.

I don't understand this question. Help please someone.

I was recently given advice on how to do Reading Comp and the instructor said to first glance over the questions and get a general idea of what the questions are going to ask (i.e look for key phrases/words that are specifically ask about). This process is supposed take no longer than a minute and it is supposed to be "whatever jumped out at you and stuck as you glanced over the questions in that minute." After which, you would continue your normal RC process (but now when those words pop up as you read the passage, you'll have more awareness as to their importance.)

I can't recall if this method was specifically endorsed or discouraged on 7sage, so I thought I would ask the community.

I usually finish answering all the questions in the nick of time or have to skip a couple of them.

My current strategy is to first skip all the parallel method of reasoning, parallel flaw, or long principle questions, (regardless, not even assessing the difficulty) then attempt them all at the end. Thus, the skipped (guessed) questions usually end up being those questions.

Do you think it’s a good strategy or should I make a change? I will appreciate your thoughts/experience!

The conclusion here is that "crying must have the effect of reducing emotional stress".

The first time I read the stimulus I thought the flaw/gap here was; we are not sure that crying itself decreases stress, maybe the hormones causes the person to cry to reduce stress.

So I chose "C", because I assumed the answer choice stated: that the stimulus failed to address if the hormones led to decrease of stress by crying, or crying led to the decrease of stress by removing hormones.

Isn't that another legitimate flaw here?

I could see how "E" is right, how the argument confused that hormones might be the cause of the stress, rather than a response to stress...but that was way out of my radar.

How do I make sure I don't make these mistakes again?

I was just wondering based upon the question stem, how can you tell if they want to to find the sufficient vs. the necessary assumption and vice versa.

Those who have taken pt-73 as a timed test, how did you score in its LR compared to other 70s tests?

This question was fairly confusing.

We know from the premises that humor is important for comedy. C says that comedies should find their humor in stylistic portrayals.

So stylistic portrayals are very relevant and important for the comedy film Quirks, because that is where comedy is expected to find humor. Thus, criticizing Quirks for being non-realistic is wrong.

D doesn't counter the argument's conclusion that the criticism of film for not being realistic is wrong. D can not be seen as justifying the conclusion because though it says the film is successful, it doesn't mean that criticism of the film for not being realistic is not valid. A film could be successful and still deserving of criticism for not being realistic.

why is C not the best choice?

Glad I saw this game with the outlier game types cropping up on current tests! Went in with way to cookie cutter of a diagram on the front end. Incredibly thankful for being able to adapt even tho it wasn't as quick as I would have preferred.

(kind of reminded me of assumptions I made on the multi-tiered car dealership game)

solved the problem

Did anyone find these LR sections difficult? I found them pretty tough.

Re-posting in this forum in addition to the discussion on the explanation video -

I'm having a hard time with A. Doesn't the contrapositive of A also link the ought & promise?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I've reached a precarious situation in which my performance on the RC has become a trade-off between time and accuracy. If I try to run through the passages quickly, I tend to get many answers incorrect. If I try to spend more time on each question, I generally increase my chances of getting those questions right but I find it difficult to finish the last passage (not necessarily the 4th one). Does this happen to anyone else? How can I resolve this conundrum?

Hi,

I'm taking the 7sage starter pack and I just got to Must be True questions. I really want to go faster on my valid logic arguments, but I don't want to waist LSAT questions before I'm actually comfortable with valid logic formulas. I was wondering if there were any sort of website or books that could give me drills for logic problems. Thanks!

I am BRing this question and am having a hard time convincing myself why the answer is A. not E. any input would be helpful.

Descriptive Flaw Question:

Scientists found that there is a greater frequency of illness among people who sleep atleast 8 hours per night than there is for people who sleep significantly fewer hours. This shows that mild sleep deprivation isn't unhealthy and probably bolsters your immune system

A. Another factor that contributes to both phenomena - Sure this seems reasonable maybe eating a bunch of kale makes you sleep terribly and also makes you get sick less often so sleep deprivation doesn't bolster your immune system

B. Wrong - The passage doesn't take a position on whether sleeplessness is the ONLY factor that contributes to immune system development, this is not a flaw with the argument

C. Wrong - An amalgamation of LSAT buzzwords that is meant to attract plebs

D. Wrong - I don't think it takes for granted that an observable correlation would occur, it sounds like the passage establishes that something observable happened and tries to explain it.

E. The passage says "wow people get sick less frequently when they're sleep deprived, it must be that sleep deprivation is not unhealthy" this flawed reasoning seems to be exactly what is described in answer choice E. Because illness is not associated with sleep deprivation then sleep deprivation must not have other negative consequences. What if sleep deprivation also gives you cancer, what if sleep deprivation also makes you fall asleep at the wheel. This flaw just seems considerably larger to me than any issue of not considering that there is a third factor at play as per answer choice A.

Any insight on this question would be greatly appreciated.
