I answered C because it summarized the argument but I forgot that the question was just looking for the main conclusion/main point (not the whole premise attached). Therefore, A just summarizes/paraphrases the conclusion which is that not all uses of language are metaphorical (because some must be literal = Premise). Thus, it should be A because A is only the conclusion.

I frankly don't understand why I'm so bad at logic games. If I were no worse at logic games than I am at reading comprehension and the short answer section, I think I would regularly score in the high 160s/low 170s. I've practiced logic games a fair amount, and I think I've done a fair amount of the 7Sage curriculum on logic games. But I often get in the -8 to -13 range. Do I just need to start the 7Sage curriculum on logic games over again? (This is what I'm probably going to do.) I feel like it's totally feasible for me to regularly get -5 or better on logic games, but that's very much not where I am at present. Any thoughts? (I realize this question has probably been asked countless times, so feel free to point me to an existing answer to this type of question.) Thanks!

Hi I was wondering if anyone else had significant trouble with doing better in their reading comp section, and if there are any study tips as far as RC goes to help improve!

I choice A because I based it off on only about the subjects being paralyzed. I believed that was discussed more than the subjects having the presence in the room.

The answer is E: I was very debatable about this one because it also made sense to me.

Can someone please explain how I can do better understand the MSS question like this? Can someone explain how I could have gotten this one wrong?

please, thank you.

PrepTest February 1997 - Section 3 - Question 13

Can someone explain why the answer for this question is not D? I can see why the answer is B but I wasn't able to eliminate D from the answer choices.

I am sending everyone good vibes for a stress-free retake experience. I never got the chance to take the test Friday and spent days angry and upset about it. Then, I scored a 179 on a PT this week (my highest score yet) which reminded me that everything happens for a reason. I needed this confidence boost going into the test and now I know I am more than capable of achieving a score in the high 170s on this retake.

The only way I can look at the horrors of last weekend is that they were a blessing in disguise. The LSAT is like a lottery -- and the test this weekend will be the test we were meant to take! Trust the process even when it seems impossible. We all got this!!

The score I want is already mine. The score you want is already yours. Let's go claim it.

There are two reasons I get hard LR questions wrong. One, I don't connect a statement in the stimulus with a different phrasing in the correct answer choice. Two, I make an incorrect connection, leading to the wrong answer. Does anyone else have this problem? How do I improve?

Hey! I need help (like really badly) on the whole grouping games concept of when a rule triggers/fails. I know in the lessons it says: rule only triggers when the sufficient is satisfied or the necessary is negated. On the other hand, rule fails when the sufficient fails or the necessary is satisfied. I am in desperate need of more information/explanation/a deeper dive on this. If any one knows what lessons in specific I should visit. PLEASE let me know. Anything would help!!!!!!

Working through the core curriculum and wondering if the problem sets use questions past PT 35. For some reason, the newer listed PT's in the 'practice' tab show me that I've already used up a few questions from each, even though I haven't done any prep tests yet. Could this be because of the problem sets or drills?

I want to keep the prep tests after 35 fresh and was wondering if there's a way to make sure I don't use questions from the newer test while doing problem sets/drills. Thanks

Can anyone give me any tips on whether I should take the LSAT in person or online.

I took it before online and had difficulties and lost about 5 minutes of the exam so I am leaning towards an in person test but im not sure how to prep for the in person exam since I been taking practice test online. Im planning on taking the November exam so I still have some time to prep.

Hello everyone,

I've been tackling LG for some time now, and it seems that practice is paying off. However, in/out LG games still seem to tank my score when I am doing PTs. Therefore, I've been trying to target in/out games specifically, showing me what I may not be fundamentally understanding.

My main problem with in/out is S/N rules, mainly, when do conditional relationships trigger. I will attach two links to help explain my issue.

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-93-section-4-game-3/ (PT 93 S4 G3)

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-61-section-3-game-1/ (PT61 S3 G1)

For example, in PT 93, JY explains that the first rule of the game is based on a conditional relationship. Though the presence of H or G (or both) being in means F is also in, it is suggested that F can be in by itself, meaning one (or both) of H and G can be out. Okay, that makes sense. That is the contrapositive of the rule. From now on, when faced with an in/out game, I will look at the relationship with even more skepticism.

However, this same skepticism created even more doubt when I would drill with other in/out games. In PT 61, I tried applying the same rules of conditional relationship to Q1. Normally, this question would have been easy, but since I was trying to gauge the relationship between rule #3, it came down to choosing either A or C. I picked C, despite knowing A would have been my usual answer. Of course, that was the only question I got wrong, because I didn't know how to apply the conditional relationship.

So far my intuition is telling me that such a conditional relationship similar to PT 93 is only when there is an "if"->"then" clause. I hope someone could let me know if that is the appropriate method of thinking when approaching conditional relationship, and if there are other methods to better clarify?

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

I'm feeling a major loss of confidence right now. I completed the LR curriculum with 7 Sage, and I'm consistently scoring -5/-6 on Logical Reasoning. I seem to not be able to get to the last 5 questions every time. What would you suggest I do next?

After filing a complaint, I was presented with an option to retest this weekend. I was wondering if the score release date is different for people who retest than those who took the original exam at the start of the month?

On the LSAT, there can be 4 logic games. There are 4 general categories of logic games: Sequencing, Grouping, In-Out, and Miscellaneous.

Is it safe to assume there will be one game from each of these categories on the LSAT? Or could it be the case that you might have 2 sequencing games, 1 Grouping, 1 In-Out, 0 misc.? or something like that
