Hello!

Across my last 15 PTs (50s - 80s) I consistently scored -1 to 0 on LG. I consider it by far my best section and can always rely on it to carry my score. However, on both the April and June LSATs, the last game completely destroyed me. I found myself guessing on 3+ problems, which I never do in any of my practice tests. It was not a time issue either; I had plenty of time during both tests yet could barely get past the game board setup stage since the questions felt so different from the PTs.

After the April test I practiced a ton of different games at all difficulties and had really high confidence going into June's test, only to be destroyed by the last game again. How can I prepare for LG for the August LSAT? I feel like I've done a billion games on 7Sage and consistently get -1 to 0 on all of them, yet when I get to the real thing it feels completely foreign.

Which LGs are similar to the April/June 5 star games?

Hi,

I have went through the cc of 7sage a little bit ago, and are moving into the LG section of the cc. However, as many have recommended, I have been trying to incorporate LR drills while going through the LG section of cc. I have been trying to do drills in LR specifically focusing on question types but seem to still be getting a lot wrong even with BR. In addition, I have purchased the Loophole since many said the supplemental material helps a lot. I was just wondering on anyone's recommendations on how to study? (I can dedicate a majority of my time studying since I only work PT as well). (I also have not touched RC at all in cc yet) Should I work through the Loophole before continuing anymore drills on 7sage? Should I still try to go through LR and LG at the same time, or how should I work through both most effectively? Any and all advice much appreciated!!!

Hi I just did a logic game in PT9 (S3 G3). I was wondering if you know of another logic game in the practice question bank that is similar to PT9 S3 G3? I would like to practice a similar game type under a different scenario.

I am working through the CC right now, still only in LR. What is your strategy for reviewing information? Everything is comprehensive and I know that I am retaining what I've learned thus far because I apply it in the exercises, but I feel like I couldn't necessarily summarize the information, I just know it mechanically for the most part. Do you guys go back or use other sources? Time is precious as I am taking it in August, I just want to make sure I am not losing information.

This question had me sorta off the rails briefly cuz I was expecting to see a cookie-cutter flaw problem. As if laughing at my assumption, the dilemma posed by it vexed me. I was torn between two competing choices, (B) and (E). In the end, I was convinced that any safety protections like child safety seats demand the observation of rules with rigor should one want to maximize "security benefits from them".If a parental figure fails to install the seat properly, relying on a wrongful belief that the mere existence of it would be a fool-proof/copper-bottomed guarantee or a surefire thingy for "child safety in the vehicle", then he or she could engender more probabilities for putting it in jeopardy. But (B) was such a clickbait and I was almost catfished. The more children are on the road, the more they could be exposed to dangers underway. Thus, I was baffled by the difficulty of this question at the outset. I was wondering whether I am being an outlier here. Of course, every question asks us to find "The Best Answer Choice"by eliminating all the others, however viable and feasible they are. What are ur thoughts on this?

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.

Let's make those marginal gains in this marginal game.

Looking for like-minded LSAT loving loonies, preferably already PTing 170+ and can BR 175-180 with a goal of achieving PT-BR convergence and planning to absolutely kill it for the August 2022, maybe beyond.

Intending to discuss and document inferences that break LGs wide open, reading strategies that illuminate the densest RC passages, authoritatively reasoning the most convoluted LR questions, identifying and dodging LSAT writers' most subtle question traps, and making the most of all 2100 precious seconds of an LSAT timed section. Also intend to analyze common patterns of LSAT sections and questions with the intent of being able to identify inferences and predict questions and anticipate answers before even attacking the questions.

Planning on regularly scheduled strategy discussion workshopping, coordinated competitive timed PT takes, and exhaustively thorough and accurate blind review. Goal of at least a few hours of productive LSAT time daily.

DM with your info and availability, maybe a list of some of your untouched PTs. Will determine a workable schedule and setup zoom sessions or a discord server. Let's gooooo.

I have the June LSAT, and I took a PT two days ago and bombed the logic sections. -10 on experimental and -7 on the scored one. I aced the first games, but both times, I encountered some kind of layered sequence (grouping, twist), and I found myself running out of time and guessing.

I specifically took PT91, and the two killers were the electrician game and the crop rotation game. I've drilled since and realized I've tried to categorize first, but how the heck do you do these quickly?

Hi all,

I've been fool-proofing LG for the past week and a half, and as it pertains to sequencing games, it's become pretty clear to me that box items typically exert the most pressure on the board. Hence, whether it's a rule/question-driven game, looking at where to first place the box item will yield key inferences for the other rules. Along those lines, I noticed in some sequencing games with a twist that a rule preventing items from a sub-category from being next to other items in that same sub-category also exerts extreme pressure on the board (i.e. the notoriously difficult PT68G4, and to a much lesser extent, PT65G2). If we were to compare these two generic rules, it seems to me that the latter rule exerts even more pressure than the former. In other words, we should focus our attention first and foremost to the sub-category rule, even before a box rule in a scenario where both appear. Does this sound right to y'all? Also, if you guys have similar findings on some other generic rules that help you make inferences in different types of games, I'd appreciate it if you could share! Thanks and good luck on the studying!

For the time scheduling of the lsat that is done through Proctor U, does anyone know if we need to create an account with Proctor U before scheduling or do we wait for the email to come in with instructions? I tried to create an account but I didn't know what institution to put.

Hello fellow 7sagers, I am taking the June LSAT, so I have just over a week left of preparing! I am planning to take PrepTest 83 tomorrow morning, 6/2/22, and would like to know if anyone would like to also take it and then do a zoom call sometime in the afternoon to blind review the test together? This will be my second to last practice test before the real exam, currently have an average prep test score of 163. Message me if you would be interested and we can set something up!

Hi!

I apologize if this has been asked already but I couldn't find information on this! I was wondering if we signed up past the deadline for the 45$ score preview fee, would the 75$ fee be waived if we have a fee waiver or does this only apply to the 45$ fee?

Thank you in advance!!

Is a writing board allowed for the online LSAT (just a wooden/plastic board to place the scratch paper on), most table surfaces aren't conducive to placing the paper directly on them and writing on the same. I have mailed LSAC but just wanted to know if anyone who has taken the online LSAT has used it or has been asked by the Proctor not to use it?

Well i speedran through the cc and the variety in the number of questions was initially pretty difficult for me to properly adjust to, given that the methods listed in the cc are somewhat distinct from each other. I tried a section and struggled. However, now that I consciously take note of the main point, premise, and maybe some implied basis for support, the questions just seem to be going right for me. I'm still not where I want to be, but it's a start. Has anyone else been where I am? If so, has this method of just having an insane focus on the mp, premise, and support been of greater use to you than using conditional logic, especially in questions where it gets particularly tricky to use cl?

To my understanding, the push stoke was a defect with the new garden rake. And if it is the only defect, then the evaluation between the new gardening rake and the straight rake stands cause it is base on the whatever defect the new gardening rake has and it is the push stoke.

I need help to understand when to switch & negate a valid conclusions on contrapositives. The videos from Invalid Argument Forms are confusing and are just not clicking. When I think I know how to "draw valid conclusions w/ transitions AND w/ intersection statements" I suddenly don't and don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone suggest the videos or any other methods to review to understand the material?

Ever since we got to this section, I've been confused.

I was told from previous test takers that we can select dates under different country for flex tests

can anyone confirm this?

Is there a diagnostic test you can take if you plan to take the LSAT in August 2024 or onward from there? Or should I take an old test that still has the LG section?

Can someone explain why B is the right answer? The stem states that it is unknown why people purchased broadsides, or how their beliefs related to the broadsides. If these statements are true, why does having having crime and adultery in the broadsides show that people may not have been serious about moral values? Aren't the two given statements proof that the broadsides don't have to be truly moral for the 17th century people to be moral?

The gap is the owners has right to destory the art works from the ethical point of view even if the owner possess it legally. The premise is the possess it legally , and destory ethically is the core.

Does anyone have any tips regarding familiarizing oneself with law passages (e.g., reading materials, websites)? When I am unfamiliar with a topic whether in RC or LR, I end up re-reading a lot even though I have a fair grasp on the logic. Any tips and tricks would be appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone would be willing to post the ways in which they go about tackling the LR section of the the LSAT. Thus far through my studies LR was always my best section naturally so I did not focus on it as much. However, now that I am trying to learn it I often times get stuck on choosing the best answer choice. The question types do not bog me down it is more so the stimulus often times confuse me with all of the extra details. I am open to suggestions, tips or even a study partner since I take the test in June.

The furthest I got to solving this question was diagramming it:

mR-s-/best

mR=mT

Beauty=truth----> mR=best

Beauty=/=truth

Is there a structural way to approaching this question? Because the overlapping terms are very confusing.
