Prior to PSA while going through the content I was fairly confident in my try it yourself question answers and was getting them right a high percentage of the time. However since SA I have been struggling on these questions and am getting fairly easy questions wrong. I realize that I am also unable to identify wrong answers as easily as the previous questions types and just wanted to ask if anyone had any tips on how I could do better on SA, NA, AP, MoR, and Flaw.

Hi all! Hope you're having all having a good day.

I was wondering if you could share your tips on getting better at RC. I used to have consistent -6 and started moving downwards to -10 and now scored -14 on PT 65. I was pretty confident with reading when I started LSAT but now I am a bit short on time and really concerned about getting more than half of the questions wrong.

I do timed PT then read all the passages again during BR to come up with a better LR, HR. And clearly it seems like it's not working and I'd greatly appreciate any help. :)

I've been really trying to study LG for the Jan LSAT. The problem I'm having is that I understand the rules but I diagram the rules/inferences different then JY, thus I get questions wrong or questions take me forever to do. For example on Preptest 5 Game, I wrote the classes down and distributed the grades. While JY in his video did the opposite. If I use JY's diagram, every question goes by extremely fast. How can I get better at diagramming games that I am seeing for the very first time?

I would love someone to help me with the understanding the underlying flaw. I have seen this stimulus type, and it seems very cookie cutter for me. In my understanding, the argument's flawed reasoning is that the argument assumes that 1. warmer air increases humidity, and 2. that the only thing that can cause an increase in rainfall is an increase in temperature of warm air. However, I am seeing some other patterns, it goes from a probable modality (using tends to be humid) to a highly likely modality (in the conclusion).

If you've taken the sample on LawHub, how did LG go? I found games 3 and 4 were a bit difficult -- were there any splits/SBGs that I may have missed or did you just plow through using rules? Any recommendations on games similar to game 3?

Seems likely my test center will be closed for this storm on the Gulf Coast, but I haven’t heard anything yet. How much advance is typically given for a test center closing and how would I be contacted? Email?

Hey guys...I'm taking the October 3rd LSAT and wondering if you had any advice on some of the heavy hitting areas I should focus on over the next two weeks - maybe areas where you saw the most improvement? I work full time (much more than 40 hours a week, ha!) so putting in 8 hour study days just isn't realistic. I usually average 3-4 hours but am having a hard time right now narrowing down what to focus on. I'm doing practice testing but scores are staying pretty stagnant.

Not shooting for the Ivy's here - but definitely want a decent score.

Any help you could offer would be much appreciated!!!

Is it just me or PT1-20 RC are all over the place? I hold a study average of -5 on 60+ but start bombing on 1990's PT. 4th attempt any now my confidence is all over the place.

can someone explain why D is the right answer

Title says all, I'm slowly working my way through them and I don't want to freak out, but before you know it January will be here. Does anybody have any tips for somehow seeing through to the harder questions?

Hello!

Could someone please explain why the correct answer would be E. I put B, but I honestly just guessed. I need some help wrapping my head around this question.

Thank you!

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

For the October 2019 LSAT, I was put on a waitlist. I know in the past, LSAC was almost always able to get folks off the waitlist and into a test center within a 100 mile radius. But now with the switch to digital, it seems like they might not be able to because they need more tablets vs. just printing more tests like they could do in the past.

I have called LSAC a couple of times and it seems like they are also scrambling and are not able to give any guarantees at this time. Has anyone heard anything?

Hello, 7Sagers!

I'm a bit puzzled with this NA question and wanted to get your input on the matter.

This question states that medical schools are teaching curative medicine and preventative medicine at a 10:1 ratio respectively. It goes on to state that despite this, the use of preventative techniques lowers medical costs significantly.

The claim is that if medical school's have the goal of making medicine lower in cost, they aren't spending enough time teaching preventative medicine.

The correct necessary assumption is purportedly that the amount of time needed to teach preventative medicine thoroughly is greater than one hour for every ten currently being spent on the curative counterparts.

Now, a negation test should confirm this answer, but from my perspective, it does not. Negating the statement results in the time to teach preventative medicine thoroughly being equal or less than one hour for every 10 spent on curative. Now, I assume that at this point the LSAT wants you to assume that because the ratio now favors preventative being taught thoroughly, the argument falls apart because they're no longer spending insufficient time.

But who's to say that the ratio of time spent has anything to do with the actual time spent? The argument has to do with the actual time spent. In fact, we could only be sure that there isn't an insufficiency if we know for sure that the med schools are meeting or exceeding the total amount of hours needed for thorough teaching of curative medicine.

So what if we have a 10:Less-Than-One thoroughness need ratio ? Maybe the schools are teaching 1000 hours of Curative and 100 hours of Preventative, when students actually need 10,000 hours of Curative and 200 hours of Preventative to be thoroughly taught each respectively. (This would give us a 50:1 ratio of time needed for curative vs preventative thoroughness, congruent with the negation of the right answer, but still leaving the argument perfectly in tact.)

If the argument can easily be correct without the designated answer being negated, why can we call it a necessary assumption for the argument? The argument can be just fine without it being true.

I am really confused as to why A is correct.

I saw this question as a RRE Q (Resolve, reconcile, explain). Here we have all people of this country approving legislation requiring that certain hazardous wastes be disposed of by being burnt in modern-high temperature incinerators. But there is push back (not getting the building permits) from every Gradaran community that the waste disposal plans to build these incinerators.

I took this as they are trying ot build the incinerators and the push back has to be due to something that the incinerators do. Maybe like pollution. So I am just unsure how A is correct.

One of the ways that I study for reading comp is downloading scholarly articles off of my university's database. I was wondering if there was any way that I could upload those documents to 7sage's digital tester, or if I could even download the digital tester as an app or toolbar of some sort so I can mark up the articles similar to how I would for the actual test. Also, I am open to suggestions with note taking sites or apps that could serve a similar function and have a similar feel to the digital test. Thank you!

I was hoping someone can help me clarify this. So, I just bought the score preview option and i was under the impression that i just had to do it before my test release date (feb 3). But, after seeing that it allowed me to purchase it i just checked lsac website and it says the deadline to purchase score preview was yesterday. Im just wondering why it would process my order . was it a glitch ? or am i really signed up for it ?

Hey everyone,

The new LR tags are pretty confusing to me. The basic ones before I found were easy to understand in terms of what I needed to work on. Now it's telling me to work on what seems to be broad types of questions like Value Judgement and I just want to know the specific question types. Can I make it go back to the original analytical tags or is this permanent?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

It's yo boy, coming here on the forums to type up some help for LR.

I was doing the LR, and then I discovered that I suck at one thing.

That one thing is literally that I seem to always miss around -3-4, no matter what. BR is around -0--2.

How do I refine my mistakes?

The questions I miss nowadays are usually strengthen, weaken, and passages with abstract wording/abstractly worded answer choices. (Usually, the questions I miss are the most "difficult" ones that many other people seem to miss.)

Anyone got any advice?

I'm taking September so I ultra-appreciate it.

Does anyone know if and how to view your LSAT Argumentative Writing submission after it has been completed?

So I have an online program from Power Score, and one from 7 Sage...I've mostly been focusing on 7sage, but did some drilling from the Power Score workbooks today on weaken questions, and I bombed the question set. I only drilled weaken games, and got -10 (out of a total 30 questions). I looked at which prep tests the questions were from, and it was tests 19-29... are the questions different from those tests? They definitely read weirder.

I'm a bit worried because weakening questions are my strongest question types in LR, and I'm kinda freaked out I did that poorly.

Thoughts?

Hi,

I am confused that is "not" itself a 4th group reasoning indicator or has it to be paired up with both as "Not both" to be a 4th group indicator.

Thank you,

I appreciate your help

Has anyone written the proctor u lsat with accommodations? I'm wondering how it works.

Hi,

I received my September LSAT, and would love to go over the test with someone else who has also taken it via video chat. Are there any rules against this? I understand that you cannot sell or distribute the test, but I was not sure about this. If there are no rules against it, does anyone want to go over the test who will be taking it again? I would particularly like to talk about LG.

Thanks,

Lauren

does anyone recognize any similar games to the herbs game from Nov. 2020 flex from any previous LSAT's? would appreciate it if you can guide me to a similar game.

Hey, I am struggling to decide which one of the following strategies would be most effective- typically now I flag 8-10 questions per section. Would it be better to circle back to the harder ones im very unsure of first (less than 50% confidence), and use up my remaining time to try and seek out the right answer. OR would my time be better spent checking over the ones I flagged that I had 75-85% confidence in? For reference I usually have 6/7 im decently confident in, and 2-3 im very unsure/debating. Risk is i spend my time checking over the 6/7 quickly, and sacrifice the 2-3, or i spend my time on the 2-3 and risk still getting them wrong since theyre the hardest ones AND not double checking the easier ones and maybe getting 1 of those wrong. Pros and cons to each side, but I cant seem to make up my mind. Wondering if anyone currently uses any of these strategies to try and get the most accuracy in the last 5 ish mins when theyre checking over their answers, please let me know!
