I recently took a cold diagnostic (I took the LSAT cold in Summar of '23... big mistake) without the LG section using the new 4-section format for this August. Scored a 171 timed, 172 BR. Is it worth it to go through the syllabus, or should I just spend the whole summer grinding out PT's and BRing? I'm thinking my time might be better spent that way, since the syllabus will likely cover a lot of stuff I've already got a grasp on.

Hi, I’m new to 7sage and was wondering if there is a PDF with the group 1-4 keywords when we start talking about logic.

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to how to sign up for the August LSAT test. I am also wondering how/when to apply for extra time on the August LSAT test.

Best,

Drew

How do I know if I should switch from V1 to V2? More specifically, how different is V2 and how do you know if it would be a better fit for your learning style?

Thanks :)

This passage talks about the baroque period and im unsure why the answer is guiding instead of compelling. There was no explanation available. It asks you to identify the meaning of the word directive. I feel like the passage implies that it is more compelling and forceful than the word guiding.

I'm just wondering about which prep tests are used to create drills for logical reasoning. Are they taken from a couple of tests or are they scattered from all the prep tests available?

Hello

Any suggestions? I am able to get my wanted score only in BR.

On June it will be my 4th attempt.

Hi everyone! I am taking the June 2024 LSAT and am registered to take it in person at a testing center. The registration for choosing the day you take the test opens tomorrow for the Wednesday and Thursday test days and the day after for Friday and Saturday test days. Is there an advantage to choosing a certain day of the week? I had been planning on taking it on Saturday, June 8th because that works best with my schedule but wasn't sure if there is an advantage to taking it on one of the earlier days instead. Thanks in advance for any advice and insight on this!

I had a quick question regarding answer choice C: Most agree that introduced species can cause extinctions.

The passage says that ecologists realize that when humans introduce new species into existing ecosystems, even pristine, species-rich habitats are threatened. So I thought that because it says "ecologists think", we could say that "most ecologists agree that."

However, is the reason this is wrong because when the LSAT says "ecologists think", we don't know exactly how many ecologists that think that? E.g. it could be 2 ecologists think, but it would be not provable to say that it's "most ecologists think".

Just curious to see if this is an actually right interpretation of the difference between these concepts. Thanks.

Hello all,

I want to type out notes for questions while taking the logical reasoning section. However, I do not see an option to type out notes on 7Sage when taking a test test. My questions:

Thank you all!

Sincerely,

Stressed New LSAT Studier

I know the correct answer is E, however I am stuck at how C is not the correct answer even after watching the

Johnson is not a commercial raspberry grower AND he got a plant that carried a virus. We know that these two qualities (plant with virus and non-commercial growers) are the complete opposite of the type of business MOST large nurseries do. So, would that not make it probable that Wally's is not a large nursery because the type of customer and plant received by Johnson is the complete opposite of what MOST large nurseries offer?

Is this a case of C not necessarily being incorrect, but E is just a better answer?

Hopefully that makes sense and thank you for any help

I am currently still so frustrated to deal with NA questions,

and i think i still haven't figured out how to practice negate strategy in POE.

Does anyone know the most helpful videos or any sources to parse it out or just help me make them clear?

Thanks a lot!

PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 19

can anyone come up with an explanation for this.

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

PrepTest C - Section 3 - Question 08

I am confused as to why the answer is A and not C.

In the conclusion:

"But this cannot be so, for unless some uses of words are literal, there can be no nonliteral uses of any words."

is the first part:

"for unless some uses of words are literal"

a part of the premise?

Hi Everyone,

I just did question 18 in Section 2 of PT 77 and I am confused by the language in answer choice D. It says "fails to exclude the possibility that there might be legitimate evidence motivating those who reject Shakespeare's authorship". The fails to exclude part threw me off and I was hoping someone could better explain that to me. Thanks!

When reading through the logical reasoning bible i have and going through the drills i find myself subconsciously following the same technique for both question types which leads me to ask what is the difference?

Hi,

This is a question about an answer choice like that of PT62 S2 Q20.

It's: The younger a universe is, the brighter the stars are.

Do these relationships work similarly like conditionals, in that only after concluding that the universe is younger, we can say the brighter its stars are?

i.e. you can't see a situation that the stars are brighter, therefore conclude that the universe is younger with this type of relationship?

Thank you.

These logical reasoning questions make me feel so stupid! It makes so much sense afterwards but not in the moment. I don't know how i'm going to get a strategy down that will make me see this in the moment and before I make the mistake. I need a foolproof strategy for this! Anyone got any tips or methods they've found helpful? Please message me! I'd love to bounce ideas off of one another for LR and become study buddies.

i'm curious if you could still actually study and practice logic games even after they remove this section from the test. i find learning and practicing these problems are very beneficial in developing analytical skills for law and other aspects of life. i'm not very good at these under time pressure but appreciate the challenge and feel good about showing improvement in my practice scores.

Hi everyone. I have been studying for the lsat for more than 2 1/2 years now. My highest score was a 175 and I am usually scoring between 165-169. I took the April Lsat and scored a 159 :(. I don't know where to go from here now. Im really solid in LR and LG, but Reading Comp kills my score, consistently getting -7. Can anyone help me, or is anyone interested in being a study buddy?

I just finished this test and spent a lot of time on this question. B seems like the obvious correct answer at first (and is the correct answer), but the argument about efforts being wasted on protecting endangered species' NATURAL habitats is, in my opinion, unaffected by the creation of an animal refuge. The establishment of an animal refuge seems to me like an obviously distinct effort than one that is protecting a natural habitat. By it needing to be established and the word "refuge", it seems artificial by definition.

Can someone help me understand this?

I am doing ok on the logic games for the most part, but I am really struggling with the in/out games. Is anyone down to maybe have a study session on this sometime?

There's still time! Drilling as much as possible before June!

I Did all the passages in RC. Does anyone have the same issue? How should I study for RC?
