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?

I had LR RC LR LR LG - Not sure how much we are able to share about answers but did anyone else get a weird string of Ds toward the end of one of the LR sections? I think it was the third or fourth...this totally threw me off. I saw it posted in another discussion thread too...

Is anyone else having issues with this? It seems like they are making it extremely difficult. I called the tech support and they couldn't help me. Now I'm on a 30 plus minute hold with LSAC. It seems like it would be easier for everyone if they just allowed us to take it on test day at the location. Even if they have to reserve computers for that portion. This is just ridiculous.

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.

PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 11

We do not hold someone who has a heart attack while driving MR for the damage cause is the C and the claim that the choice of a diet can affect whether or not one has a heart attack it is used to support the C of the argument. The Correct AC is E

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

For this question I am a little confused. In one of the videos, JY mentioned that a right answer for PSA questions should end at the same place that the principle does. In this question, the correct answer says that "Toril did not act responsibly." The conclusion of the stimulus is that one is acting responsibly. Is it possible for the right answer to have a different conclusion from the stimulus? Do other right answers work with contrapositives?

I have a discord link I'm going to post, just need more people who will sit down and just help keep each other accountable.

Hey guys, so I graduated undergrad about 2 years ago, and a majority of my classes ended up being online at the time due to Covid, although I have already emailed a few Professors I had in person asking if they would be willing to write me one, I have gotten denied. At this point I feel really stuck and Im not sure what to do. I could ask an old boss but I have only worked retail jobs during my gap year or didnt work at all. Any advice? Is it possible to apply without any letters? I know its a stretch but im freaking out.

Is there a conditional and set logic drill so that I could apply the things that I am still learning. I went through the groups and I want to hone in my skills rather than just do 5 questions and be done with it. I have not taken any prep tests as I am saving it for the end of the course. I am currently working from the chains until the rest of the course section. Is there a place to practice these skills without affecting my progress on the actual questions on prep tests.

Is the best way to learn the indicators through anki or quizlet?

Many test companies advocate an active reading approach to RC. I think it's helpful. However, under timed conditions, it's generally difficult to juggle all the info packed into a RC passage. There's not much time to re-read the passage. So, you have to be able to "follow the logic" of the passage in one reading, then attack the questions. I have found this approach very helpful, and very time efficient.

Hello fellow 7sagers,

I am feeling a bit discouraged, as the LG Section has been destroying my confidence and overall my score. As a whole, I am pretty solid on on the RC and LR sections, but the LG section has been holding me back. My problem is i cannot identify which game board to use via the word problem prompt. I am somewhat confident in my abilities to solve the problem but getting to the game board and knowing which one to use has been difficult. I have been scoring on average -11 to -16 on LG sections. Anyone have any tips or advice on how to decipher these prompts in order to identify which game board to use?

Could someone help me out here?

The stem reads "The passage suggests that Taruskin's position commits him to which one of the following views?" I'm having trouble understanding why AC D is wrong here. I selected AC D because in lines 6-7 Taruskin explicitly states that high art was produced by and for elites. JY's reasoning as to why AC D is incorrect is just that Taruskin never mentions that the artists are themselves part of the elite class but this just doesn't seem to be true? I get why AC C is right. Does this question hinge on the use of the word suggests in the stem? That it can't be explicitly stated but must instead be implied? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I skip around passages from easiest to hardest. typically, at the 3rd passage I start comprehending the passage less than if I were doing this passage isolated to the rest in the form of a drill . I assume the issue is because I have trouble shifting focus from passage to passage. As a result, I find myself not being able to complete 4-6 questions because I try to keep understand the passage after the initial read to reference those questions. Does anyone have any advice to overcome this> Thanks.

Looking for study buddies who are willing to out in the work and hold themselves accountable.

Hi, so I have a Wrong Answer Journal and I now have around 162 questions that I have jotted down for LR

I’m wondering how I can go about efficiently redoing these questions being that there is soo many other questions I have not done yet that I may even get wrong after a PT.

I'm just overwhelmed with trying to redo them and getting them right the next go around. And the more drills and PT I do the more I add creating a backlog. Any tips?

Hi all!

I am currently scoring in the high 150s - low 160s with a pretty solid understanding of the curriculum.

What I find really helpful in learning is by teaching others. This forces me to verbalize my thought process and consider questions that I may not have thought of. With that said, I would like to offer my explanations/insights to anyone that have specific questions or just want a new set of eyes in general.

If you are interested, please message me 1 or 2 specific questions you need help on. We can then try to arrange some time to jump on Discord where I will attempt to explain it to you and you are free to ask any questions.

Note - this is by no means any form of tutoring, but I think we can both benefit from it. If there's anything I can't answer, we can try to figure it out together.

Does anyone have a breakdown of the subdiscipline of social science passages on the LSATs?

(Background -- I am asking, as I double-majored in sociology/political science; I work in public policy; and so I am well-versed and find it easy to read and analyse Sociology/Political Science/History passages, but find archeology/linguistics/anthropology quite a bit more obtuse! And am wondering what my odds are for getting something within my zone of comfort!]\

Hi everyone,

I'm averaging around the 170 mark, and I'm looking for some ideas and variations for my drills. How many questions should I include in one drill? If I'm missing mostly the harder LR questions, should I do, say, repeated drills of 5 questions on "hard" mode (I personally found this to be kind of underwhelming, which is why I'm questioning if it's a good method.)?

I would also love to hear any drill-setups that others have found useful – things like the doing the first 15 questions of an LR section in 15 minutes, or targeting specific question-types. Any help would be really appreciated!

I created a 22 question PT for myself, but I am unsure how to locate the Video explanation of the questions. I am looking to find the video for each question explaining why an answer was correct or not correct. Thank you

For those who have consistently achieved anything from -0 to -3 on RC, do you have any tips on approaching the most difficult questions of a section/passage under time constraints? On questions, I'll set a certain amount of time (e.g. 45 seconds) per question. On extremely tricky questions where I debate between 2 answers, I'll flag the question and move on if I run out of time. Typically, I'll be hyper attentive and look for a specific word that might help me eliminate an answer choice, but this doesn't always work (shoutout PT45 S2 P2 Q10 ugh). I'm currently averaging anything from -5 to -10 (a large range ik).

Is there anything specific you do while reading the passage that helps with the most difficult questions? Do you look back at the passage? Purely rely on memory and low-res? Does anything change in your approach when you're answering the last passage of a section, knowing that the questions will likely be more difficult?

Advice appreciated! Thanks!

Biologist's argument: DF (deforestation continues at its present pace) -> KAE (the koala will approach extinction)

Politician's argument: /DF (stop deforestation) -> /KAE (save the koala)

So the politician's argument is a mistaken negation of the biologist's argument.

(A) is wrong because we do not know whether deforestation continues at its "present pace" so we do not know whether this is consistent with the biologist's claim.

(B) is right because even though deforestation is stopped, the koala could go extinct because deforestation could have stopped as a result of complete destruction of forests.

(C) is wrong because no one talks about reforestation.

(D) is wrong because it is consistent with the politician's argument rather than the biologist's

(E) is wrong because the biologist's argument says that the koala does not approach extinction only if deforestation does not continue at its present pace

Is my explanation correct for this question? Could anyone add explanation for this question? Thanks

Hi All! I will be taking the writing portion this week, is there any recs on how to tackle this part of the exam?

For the last sentence of the stimulus, since we use the contrapositive, wouldn't it be "requests cancellation beforehand OR in writing"?

Hello,

I really like the platform overall, but wish I could save answer choices in folders. There's some questions I wish to come back to or want to save for specific reasons, but I only have the option of pinning them.

I would really like a way to save questions in a more specific way so I could have a folder for myself with titles like "need to re-review" or "hardest conditional reasoning."

I mark questions in a book by hand that I would like to revisit but its really annoying to keep track of it this way, and once I do return to them its annoying to find them in the system using the drilling platform.
