Is anybody else way over time on there "set up target time" and way ahead on the "questions target time"? I feel like I'm alway about 3 minutes behind on the setup and 3-4 mins ahead on questions. Any advice to speed up my set up? I don't feel like I'm making an unreasonable amount of deductions. I feel like sometimes it just takes me a second to understand the game.
Will learning Logic Games help me understand logic better and do better on LR and RC?
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
Journalists often claim that their investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society by forcing the powerful to conform to the same standards of conduct as the less powerful. In reality, however, the tactic is detrimental to society. It makes public figures more concerned with mere appearances, and makes everyone else cynical about the character of their leaders.
The claim that journalistic investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society plays which one of the following roles in the argument?
I chose (A) It is a claim that the argument attempts to refute. However, the answer was (B) It mentions a justification that is sometimes offered for a practice that, the argument concludes, has undesirable consequences.
I think I understand why (A) is not the correct answer, but I am not entirely sure why. To my understanding, the paragraph can be split into 2 parts: one side states a claim that justifies investigating the private lives of political leaders, and the
other states the bad consequences. The second part does not outright refute what the Journalists are saying, so (A) cannot be the right answer.
Does my train of thought makes sense? And does anyone have any tricks/guidance on how to avoid making the same mistake in the future? All help is appreciated.

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?
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!
Feeling discouraged and frustrated, but I know this is a hard test and meant to play with you. My biggest area of struggle was always LR (and still is). I'm still pretty new here, and since starting 7sage I thought I was finally starting to grasp the concepts and tricks to handle LR questions. I took my first preptest to see how I'd do, and got a 139. I know I am able to do much better, but I dont know what I'm doing wrong, if im second guessing myself or simply overthinking each question. Any tips on how to handle LR? Anyone else deal with the same issue? Will I be able to master LR by the time my August LSAT comes around?
Hello everyone,
The Lsac website does not state whether or not tests in the 2024-2025 test year will be available in the remote format. Does anyone know if we will be able to take them at our home?
Thanks!

Can someone please explain these correct answers? I am having issues :(
I am consistently not finishing the LG section when I take timed PT. I've been having 6-7 questions I do not get to before time runs out. However, when I BR I get a -0 on LG. Should I continue studying LG with the goal of increasing my speed to take the June exam? Or, do I just give up on LG and focus my attention on RC and LR and wait for the August Exam?
I was in between A and C, and still don't understand how C is correct and A isn't
C: when comparing frighterning and non-frightening experience there is not a direct correlation because some positive experiences also release adrenaline therefore more memory retention
A: when comparing frighterning and non-frightening experience there is not a direct correlation because in some of the intense experiences, there is less memory retention

I plan on taking the June test and my numbers for LR/LG are almost right where I want them to be. However, I am struggling to see results in RC. Does anyone have any tips that helped them have a breakthrough or see more progress in RC?
how likely do we think that one of these will show up on the June LSAT? I absolutely hate these games, but I don't want to waste study time going over them instead of the harder grouping and sequencing games.
I chose answer A because it seemed like the right answer, which I think is a trick of the test writers as a first answer choice. I didn't read answer choice B and skipped over it.
going through core curriculum rn for LR. Should I consistently drill at hard?
Everywhere else I read says LSAT has gone back to having a fourth unscored section. But looking at the three options offered on the prep tests here confused me a little. To confirm, will there be an experimental section for the August LSAT?
The prep test starting page gives the three options below:
Plus, it seems like in the past the experimental sections has always been LR. Is it possible that the August test could have an additional RC question instead? How did the LSAC test new RC questions in the past?
Thanks for your time!
Obviously parallel flaw questions and some other question types like SA and MBT usually require logic mapping, but how do you decide during PTs and the actual test when to need to use conditional logic?
And what are the question types that 100% require mapping, often require mapping, and usually do not require mapping?
Thanks!
Don't understand the stimulus & why C is the right answer choice. Can someone explain please?

How do you folks deal with answer choices that are very long. I tend to freeze and be overwhelmed when I see long stimuluses and long answer choices.
How could a company have no creative employees yet fulfill the condition "have creative employees"? I went with C because it questions the validity of the language "is said to have" which seems like shakier reasoning than no creative employees can have creative employees.
I have been missing significantly more LR questions after taking PTs in the 80s and I'm not sure why. Does anyone have any advice for improving on these questions? I really am not sure why I keep missing so many LR so suddenly.
What's up 7sage fam. I am getting my ass handed to me by RC. I meet with a tutor every week, and when we meet and go through problems together everything seems so clear and easy. The second I get by myself, it is like a bomb goes off in my head and I will consistently put up -6 or worse. Any tips that anyone could share would be great. I would take any help I can get right now.
This one really confused me because I thought we were always supposed to assume that the premises are automatically true. So the author saying "original" would be a statement of fact rather than circular reasoning. Could someone #help
