I keep having this issue where my energy and focus plummet after around the 2nd section of a practice test. How can I keep energized and focused while taking PTs?

The question below made me confused because I thought the conditional statement "the painters must have needed to eat the sea animals populating the waters north of Norway if they were to make the long journey to and from the islands" was a fact because there is a Sufficent Condition that triggers a Necessary Condition there for it must be true. So when I learned A was wrong, I was confused because the conditional statement created a "rule." So, I need help. How do you disprove a conditional?

THE QUESTION:

Recently discovered prehistoric rock paintings on small islands off the northern coast of Norway have archaeologists puzzled. The predominant theory about northern cave paintings was that they were largely a description of the current diets of the painters. This theory cannot be right, because the painters must have needed to eat the sea animals populating the waters north of Norway if they were to make the long journey to and from the islands, and there are no paintings that unambiguously depict such creatures.

Each of the following, if true, weakens the argument against the predominant theory about northern cave paintings EXCEPT:

A. Once on these islands, the cave painters hunted and ate land animals.

B. Parts of the cave paintings on the islands did not survive the centuries.

C. The cave paintings that were discovered on the islands depicted many land animals.

D. Those who did the cave paintings that were discovered on the islands had unusually advanced techniques of preserving meats.

E. The cave paintings on the islands were done by the original inhabitants of the islands who ate the meat of land animals

Hey everyone,

Im feeling a bit lost. I've been studying the lsat for a while now, and no matter how many attempts I always seem to get around 10 questions incorrect in a section of 25 questions (both timed and untimed). Does anyone have advice on how to break out of this plateau?

Thank you in advance!

hi 7sage admin! I went to create a custom drill set that I could then share with a study group but when I share with them the drill set with the custom tags it randomizes the questions. Is there a way to create a custom drill set that locks the questions in for a study group so we can complete the same questions and discuss later?

As the title implies, I don't really train RC that much, I've been focusing on LR in order to get my average down to ~ -5, and hopefully -4, before August test, but I rally haven't drilled RC much, maybe 1 passage for every 40 LR questions. RC is much harder to improve on for some, and I was so tunnel visioned on trying to improve my LR, that I think my RC average of ~6.5 has only consistently gotten worse, with my worst preformance being over these past 2 days, when drilling a couple of spotlight 1 star passages I've gotten 4 or 5 wrong on each. Maybe Im just really bad at spotlight, as it is my worst passage, but I keep being shocked by the results of the passage, seeing ive gotten almost all wrong on a 1 star. Any tips?

Hi everyone.

I am taking the September 2025 LSAT. I took the January one after studying for about 6 months, but would like to raise my score. I took a bit of a hiatus on studying until April/May due to work. I've been trying to get back into my studying groove but I am having trouble on where to start, since I know the basics but kind of forget some things as well. Any advice on how to be productively studying?

the impression I get is that the majority of people struggle more with RC than LR, but I'm the opposite. I wanted to know if anyone who is in a similar situation had any tips? I often find the advice of "just drill" to be not super helpful because 1) I'm already doing that and am looking for more specific guidance and 2) it often comes from a person who doesn't struggle with LR in the same way so just drilling might be a good enough solution for them. Thoughts?

How do you go about reviewing your wrong answer journal? When do you return to those questions? I'm trying to keep up with it, but I'm not sure what I'm really supposed to do with them when after I've moved on. There are so many more drills, lessons, tests, and questions to do, when do you take time to go back through them?

I'm new to the Discussion portion of the site, so apologies if this should be posted elsewhere. I'm wondering if there's a support group for those of us applying for test accommodations. I'm the process of requesting physical accommodations + extra time and would be interested in others' experience. Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure why I do this but I like to take PT and only finish one section to see my score. Is there a way to delete PR data since I have a few sections saying I got -25 -26 and it messes up my data. I’m not sure how to do it on the new website

Just a few weeks ago, I was seeing my RC score improving. I was at about -6 or -7, which definitely was an improvement for me as RC was something I was scared of. However, as of late, I am consistently getting -10 on my practice tests and full section RC practices. I am looking for any tips to resolve this, or even hypotheses as to why this may be happening. I am taking the August LSAT and really want to land in the 160's, but this is hindering my process and making me nervous. Thank you!

Salespeople always steer customers toward products from which they make their highest commissions, and all salespeople in major health stores work on commission. Hence, when you buy vitamin supplements in a major health store, you can be sure that the claims the salespeople make about the quality of the products are inaccurate.

Obviously this is an ad hominem. I know that. But we are taught to apply a two step test: descriptively accurate and does it describe the flaw.

the right answer choice?

infers that some claims are inaccurate solely on the basis of the source of those claims

translation: 1-99 of claims are inaccurate, solely on the basis of the source of those claims.

how is this descriptively accurate? the argument assumes because sales people have specific incentives, salespeople are not telling the full truth.

the argument never says SOME claims are inaccurate, instead it says THE CLAIMS ARE INACCURATE. how the hell am I supposed to see the invisible some? Also the argument never says they are liars because they are sales people, it says it's because they work on commission.

someone tell me how I am wrong. I feel like im getting punished for being detail oriented.

Hi! Looking for tech support: my average missed questions section in my analytics is broken for RC. I'm told I have an average of -0, and unfortunately, this is not true! Is there a reason its not updating properly? Would be helpful to track progress.

I have noticed that blind review is sometimes an option after completing the individual questions and drills in the core curriculum, and sometimes it is not. Is there a way to tell before we open the question if we will be given the chance to blind review?

Hi Everyone,

Would someone be so kind to advise what best worked for them on studying for the LSATs, I wrote the test once and did not like my score therefore I’m going to be rewriting the LSATs

Hi ! Can someone explain the difference between Negation Vs. Contrapositive ? And when it should be applied?

Thank you!

I am writing with extra time, is there a way to set my 7sage to allow me the extra time on practice drills and tests?

Hi! I am starting to get into deeper content analysis after doing a good bit of practice, I want to get some clarification on how to discern the difference between premises and context, for the sake of the author's argument. This is a general area that could help me, but the question came up originally when I was reviewing Argument Part questions.

Does anyone have recs for questions/drills I can do to improve on alternative hypotheses? I'm practicing S/W/E but this flavor always trips me up!

Ex: this argument is strengthened/weakened by proving/disproving an alternative hypotheses

Hi all, thank you for your patience. We just fixed the bug that broke manual PT import. It should be working now!

Hi everyone,

We just launched LawHub auto-import. You can automatically import PTs that you took on LawHub here: https://7sage.com/users/settings/import

I took Prep Test 123 on classic 7Sage about a week ago and I'd like to import my score into the new 7Sage so that I can get personalized analytics, drills and such. Is there any way that I can do that?
