Just as the title says, I was wondering if anyone has any tips in regards to noting what you would categorize as context and what you would categorize as premise. I feel like there is a blurred line from my understanding.

I'm a relatively high-scoring pretest taker (average score 174.7 on my 10 most recent preptests), but it feels like I sometimes struggle with basic structure questions. Case in point, for PT 105 S3 Q4 I selected answer choice A, rather than the correct answer E. After going back and reviewing the question, I can see how E would make sense, but in the moment I seem to find such questions difficult. This seems to carry over to other basic structure questions (such as PT108, S1, Q4). Does anyone have any tips on avoiding structural question pitfalls?
I'm scheduled to take my first test in August and am about 7 points away from my ideal score. My RC is pretty strong and I'm confident that won't weigh me down. But LR is a bit tricky for me, specifically the 4/5 difficulty questions. Obviously that makes sense, they're supposed to be the hardest ones. But I need to start getting more of them right if I want to break through to my target score. Any advice on how to get better at those LR questions?
Hi,
I am reviewing my mistakes on Prep Test 108, and I noticed that there are no Explanations for sec 4. Seems strange since there were explanations for section 1 which was ungraded. In particular I'm looking for an explanation on question 26. Thank you!
I just want to confirm my understanding on this.
Are these true?
If sufficient fails then no valid conclusions about the necessary condition, but if sufficient satisfied or affirmed then it triggers necessary, hence we can have a valid conclusion.
If necessary fails then it would trigger the sufficient, hence we can have a valid conclusion, but if necessary satisfied or affirmed then no valid conclusion.
and also whats the best way to memorize this? lol
Can someone explain this? It says "most anthropologists" agreed with Darwin. I may just be blind but I can't seem to find where it says or even suggests that "most" anthropologists. It does suggest that Darwin's theory was the preexisting accepted theory but that doesn't necessarily mean the "most"
I plan to take the August 2024 test without the Logic Games, is there any way to take all Games-related info out of my 7 sage to reduce clutter? Thanks
I started 7 sage core curriculum may 15th and i have only completed one module. I study every day but it takes me a long time to even compelete a lesson! My test is August 9th. Any suggestions anyone?? How are you guys finishing the modules in time I am getting stressed out relying on 7 sage.
As today is LG's official funeral, would anyone like to say any last words before the sweet chariot swings low? I am testing today, and plan to give them the love they deserve (3(/p)

Just took the june exam-6th. LR was so weird but not hard-if you memorize a bunch of ways on how to do it you fail very abstract. LG - they kind of gave up on it almost like a joke, the first RC so boring in addition to those Russian names , should be illegal to include literature in comparative passages, the second one was a cake walk-pt 19 vibes. what happened to good stuff like formal logic, necessary assumptions....there no telling on this one.
I am wondering if the questions on the 7sage Drills are taken from LSAC directly? or are they written by 7sage
I find the way 7sage goes through the reading comp passages soooo useful. Although I have one problem and do not really know how to navigate it. If I take my time when going through the RC passages and review it the way I learn in the videos, I find myself taking 30 minutes to do 2 passages...and that's just not good.
How do you guys condense your time reviewing the passages, while using JY's method?
Why is the answer "B" instead of "A?"
Some historians believe that "the decline in wheat production was due to:"
1 Excessive irrigation
2 Lack of drainage
1 and #2 together lead to salt accumulation, problem #3
The way I understand it is that wheat production requires too much water, there isn't enough drainage, and salt builds up as a result of these two problems.
So with answer choice A, if barley requires less water than wheat, then does that strengthen the belief that they solved the too much water to produce problem (#1), the lack of drainage problem since less water needs to be drained (#2), and consequently salt accumulation is not a problem because the two problems causing it no longer are in the picture?
B, on the other hand, just accounts for salt buildup, but that is only a part of the problem because even if salt buildup doesn't matter anymore, we never accounted for too much water or the lack of irrigation.
Hopefully that makes sense and I appreciate any help.
Hello,
I am a bit lost on how frequent I should be taking PTs. I took a diagnostic test a while back, but haven't taken one since as I am still working on the LR lessons. I have heard a lot of mixed advice on how often to take PTs, so I guess I am just wondering how often you all take PTs. Should I take a PT 2-3 times a week once I am finished with my LR lessons? Or should I begin taking them now? I also plan to take the Aug. test.
Has anybody noticed the additional changes in the filtered tags where they have new tags such as "analogy" "Cause and Effect" etc, but there is no questions that fall under the new tags. Is this change still in the works or is it just my account that is not showing the questions
I’m trying to gauge whether or not my experience is normal.
How much time does everyone spend on reading the passage? JUST reading it, not answering the questions.
Every time I review a test or drill, 7sage tells me I’m spending about 2-minutes per passage while also telling me that my target time should be closer to 7-10 minutes. I’m not getting every question correctly so that’s not even a flex. I seem to be struggling to slow down but maybe this is just growing pains.
Since this upcoming June test will be the last test that includes the Logic Games are we predicting the games will be relatively easy or relatively challenging? For example PT 80 Logic Games were extremely hard for me, I couldn't even finish the section. Whereas the LG for the June 2007 PT were relatively easy? What are your thoughts?
I had originally been scheduled to take the LSAT in June, deferred it until August due to my strengths being in LR and RC, and now am unsure of how to proceed.
I have an extremely firm grasp on the LR and RC and do not wish to study the small, pedantic details for a 2nd and 3rd time because I do not want to get into my head and overthink.
But also I am worried that if I strictly take practice tests for 2 months straight, I will be burned out for when I take the test in August.
Has anyone else experienced this and how did you proceed?
-Thank You
I started using V1 back in February when I thought that I would take the LSAT with the logic games, but now I need to push back more because I’m not ready. I’ve done over 300 of the LR lessons, when I switch to V2 it goes back to 0. Can I just keep using the V1 for LR if I’m taking the LSAT August and later?
Hi all, in the RC Analytics / Question Types there is a category labeled "WSE" but it doesn't explain what the acronym stands for. Can you please enlighten me?
Thanks!
Hi, I just finished this practice test and was very confused about why the answer to this question is E.
The stem is asking which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument. The argument can be summarized by the following: if a medieval epistemologist believed something, then it belongs to the broader category of medieval epistemology and vice versa.
The correct answer is: "there is much debate as to which medieval thinkers, if any, were epistemologists." The answer I chose is (paraphrased): some medieval epistemologists had beliefs that contradicted those of other medieval epistemologists.
Who cares if the first one is true? It's true that there is a debate, not that there for certain are no medieval epistemologists. Whereas, if the answer I chose were to be true, it introduces a clear contradiction (where X and not X are true at the same time). Could anyone help explain this? Thank you.
Hello, I am contemplating a lot if I should take the June 2024 LSAT. I have started studying since Jan 2024 however my study schedule has not been consistent to the point that I still need 15 hrs left of the core curriculum and I have not been able to take any practice tests to see where I am at. I really want to get a high score at least 165 +. Should I wing it on the final chance I can do logic games or should I prep more for the August LSAT???
I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed with my first lsat exam coming up next week. I don't feel very prepared and i feel alone in this process. I think i am becoming mentally drained and taxed from studying and not seeing results I want. i am super busy and a undergraduate playing soccer and working. I have been studying for 6 months for the june lsat 3 days a week for 2 plus hours. Im not sure if im studying wrong. i take practice exams twice a week. Is reviewing and doing the drills the best way i learn i feel like the way im studying now isnt working and i would like to try somthing new for when i take the lsat exam in November. im tyring to decide if i should just cancel the june lsat and take my first one in novmber or at leat take it and get some exprience im not sure.
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.
