Where can I find pinned questions completed during LR problem sets? When I go to the analytics page, under pinned responses, I only see pinned responses from completed practice tests. I have pinned some questions that I answered under the assumptions module for LR, and those do not appear here.
LSAT

Hello! The Content Team at 7Sage has been teaching the new version of our RC curriculum. You can find the archives here. Just search for any RC class that Albert, Kevin, or I've taught.
One request we got during class was to share the flowchart that we used. So here it is!
Hi everyone, I'm taking the LSAT on June 7 remotely. I received the email from LSAC today saying that the LSAT Writing has opened up. Admittedly, I hadn't done much research on the LSAT Writing up until today, but this sentence in the email struck me: "Given the large volume of test takers, we strongly encourage you to complete your LSAT Writing as soon as it becomes available." I sort of scrambled today to figure out how to approach the LSAT Writing section, but I couldn't find anything on 7Sage or on the LSAT Reddit saying that there is a "better" day to take the writing section, or that taking it earlier is better. Is there something I'm missing? Is it better to take it earlier because there might be more proctors available? I don't really know anyone that has taken the LSAT or is a lawyer, so any insight is much appreciated, thanks!
JY and a bunch of 7Sage tutors promote a quick pass of questions between passages A and B. What do you guys think? I feel like the time tradeoff to eliminate a few answers is questionable.
at first i hated them now I can't wait for the section.
I feel really in "flow" when i do logic games and rarely ever dread it unlike LR and RC.
Anyone else feel this way?
Hey guys I feel like Im able to solve questions but sometimes watching the videos I realize I did not make inferences upfront and split into game boards which would literally cut the time I take to do questions in half.
How can I get better at identifying and pushing out inferences up front from a set of rules?
Can anyone explain how C is a better option than D? (No official explanation posted yet)
This question doesn't have an explanation, so I wanted to see if anyone could back up my reasoning.
The flaw of the question stem is that it confuses necessary conditions for sufficient ones. Correctly formatting the script as well as having it be submitted by an agent is necessary for the script to not be discarded, but it does not guarantee that it won't be. There could be another reason, such as that it arrived too late, that it would be discarded.
A is not the correct choice because it is a valid argument.
B is not correct because it's a different flaw. It takes for granted that Jon is a good cook. You can also argue that it's flawed in that the necessary condition "delicious" is subjective.
C is correct, although its a bit tricky. It confuses sufficient conditions for necessary ones. Exercising daily or quitting smoking will improve Bob's health, but he doesn't need to do either one to improve his fitness level. He could lose weight by dieting for example. I think this is what makes this question so difficult (5 circles).
D is incorrect because it's a different flaw. It confuses the sufficient conditions for one argument with another. A car not having a permit or having an expired one are sufficient conditions for police being allowed to ticket. The Police being allowed to ticket does not mean they will ticket; They could give you a warning or maybe do nothing.
E is incorrect because its a different flaw. It takes for granted that because a dog can do advanced tricks it will respond correctly to basic commands. It's possible that a dog could do a backflip but would refuse to sit.
let me know if my reasoning is accurate - thanks!
Is there any way to get an estimated timeline for when the videos will be released for: Conditional and Set Logic, Logic of Intersecting Sets, Formal Logic Flaws, Logic of Causation. I appreciate it takes time to record the videos, however I find it much harder to focus and absorb the lessons without the audio component. If it seems the videos will take too long before August, I would rather try to learn these lessons from other sources. I appreciate any feedback or advice!
Hey everyone! I'd really appreciate some advice on this issue as I am scheduled to take the test in a few weeks and am really struggling with conditional mapping/translations. I have already read the conditional logic section of Loophole and done the majority of the 7sage lessons on conditional logic. I definitely understand the basics, but when it comes to mapping actual long and complicated sentences and linking conditions I am struggling. I either completely mess them up or when I do get them right I take way too long. In a perfect world, I'd have time to go through and re-watch every single 7sage video and do every single SA, NA, and parallel reasoning/flaw question there is, but I need to be practical since I only have a few weeks. As of right now I am just drilling and drilling and watching explanation videos when I get something incorrect in the hopes that it will click in time. If anyone has any recommendations or advice PLEASE let me know, I am desperate lol. Thanks!!
Hello! Does someone have some insight on this problem?
I selected E. fails to consider that the individuals judging and disagreeing about works of art may be experts in making such judgements.
I chose this because it demonstrates an "objective" or at least standardized professional manner of reviewing art.
The correct answer is D. fails to consider that people who disagree about the artistic value of a given painting may be incorrectly applying the same evaluation criteria to that painting
What are the three ways to weaken an argument again? I only remember alternative hypothesis. I swear there was a lesson that taught this but I don't remember which one.
Will there ever be answer choice where both authors disagree with it and that would be considered that they both agree (to disagree) answer?
(Example: LSAT 80, Logical Reasoning I, Q18)
This is a both agree question, however, I was wondering if there could be a scenario where both of them disagree on an answer choice (and that would be considered an agree to disagree)? Feel like there’s a simple explanation for this but I was thinking about it.
RC can kick rocks. I have been studying my ass off to get better at RC and have watched my scores get significantly WORSE! WTF, this shit makes no sense. I am consistent -3 to -5 on LR and consistent -0 to -3 LG, but my RC is anywhere from -4 to -12. And the worst part is that I don't even know what to do. I have tried reading like it is super exciting, slowing down to just comprehend, focusing on language strength, identifying main points, I've hired multiple tutors, and done the RC hero method. Bro, why does none of that shit work? What do I even do? Am I cooked?
I have been immensely stressed about this test. It has monopolized my thoughts since I took it last Nov. and didn't score that well. However, if any of you are like me, maybe it will help to hear this: you ARE capable. Put your game face on, and show these test-makers who the real boss is. Know that your knowledge and preparation will not fail you on test day. The hard work you put in will pay off! Keep striving and keep hoping, because you can achieve anything you put your mind to. Best of luck to all of us next month and to those in months to come. LET'S DO THIS!!!
Hello, I am a junior will be a senior next semester and I have been studying for the lSAT since January. I got the Kaplan book and read front to back, completed all the practice exams on kahn academy, have a tutor who i work with frequently, and have done many lessons to improve my scores but i am still in a range of 146-153 ( scored 153 once and it was my best otherwise i get 149,148,147,or 146 alot). Anyway im taking my very first lsat exam on june 7th and i feel like at this point im not going to do well. I have a 3.9 GPA playing Divison one soccer. I am very dedicated and really want to get into law school but have never been the best test taker. i never get to answer the last 5 LR questions normally to my best abilities because i am rushing with time. Im not sure what i should do at this point. I have spent so much money and feel like a lot of time to do well on this exam but if any one has any advice they could give me i would really appreciate it!
So I am taking the LSAT in September with the new revised model, so I am skipping the LG sections and focusing hard on LR and RC. I wanted to ask what is the best routine to integrate drills into the study session.
I hear a lot of the drills come from PT, and burning though Drills means come PT time, you have essentially already seen some of the questions prior (do I have this right?).
So I wanted to ask if this is the same for post August PTs aswell, and for those taking it without LR, how are you using your PTs and Drills
Any help is valued. Thanks!
I have been studying the 7sage curriculum since January and just took a second prep test after my diagnostic since January and my score only went up by 2 points is this normal idk what to do and I am taking my LSAT in August. I feel let down and as if I wasted my time.
Basically what title says! I know I most likely want to register for the August test and since registration just opened a day ago I was wondering what the pros/cons are to registering early. I know when it opens up a couple weeks before test day really matters for picking time slots just didn't know the difference between if I register for the test now vs. in July or something lol. Thank you!
Can we represent this as B->A, as in B(the one possible way) is sufficient to A? For example this would be like 'one way to score 170 on the LSAT is to study well', so [study well] becomes a sufficient condition for [scoring 170].
I kept the specific details out to not spoil anyone, but this was a question from the new drill sets on Lawhub. Someone posted a question about it on reddit but I was wondering if my guess was right.
Hi everyone! I took the LSAT in April and am now studying again for the June. I only need a few more points to get up to my goal score of 168, but I have been taking some sections in the PT80s and am feeling like I am getting worse. LR used to be okay for me (average -5ish) and with these particular PTs the questions I have missed have been much higher.
I'm not sure if this is some weird dip in my studying, or if this is just a result of the 80s LR being really weird. I would really appreciate some insight if anyone else is seeing this or if it is just a me problem. And if it is just a me problem, how others have overcome a dip in between tests. Thanks!
I can't figure out why the answer is C! No matter how much I look at it, I gravitate towards D.
For sampling flaw type, when we say the sample is large enough, what is the amount in usual?
For instance, for 100 sample, it's enough.
What about 50? Is there a specific amount that we consider to be enough for the survey to be not biased?
I've watched some of JY's video explanations of comparative rc passages, and in each one, he suggests reading the first passage, going through the questions and eliminating what doesn't fit, and then going to the second passage, then going back to the questions and selecting final answers. I see the intuition behind this strategy and have tried applying it, however I notice that I end up taking significantly longer on comparative passages than other reading comp passages, even when the content is more mild in terms of readability. So I was just wondering if other people find that this method doesn't work for them and whether they find more success reverting back to the traditional way of doing RC? I know everyone's different when it comes to rc, but I'm mainly wondering whether maybe this strategy is something more concrete like LR strategies, or if it truly is just preference. Thanks!
General question for LR for fellow students. If you had to rank the difficulty of all the types of questions in LR, how would you rank them?
