I HATE this question

this was the most annoying question of ALL TIME

Ironic you mention this because they teach version 1 this way!

In version 1, they said that an assumption is a MISSING PREMISE. Very simply put:

To weaken: You introduce premises that weaken the existing support of premise in stimulus to the conclusion. By weaken, you introduce either A caused B, B caused A, C caused A and B or no possibility.

To Strengthen: You BLOCK competing hypothesis in the answer choices and choose the STRONGEST choice to acts as a PREMISE to strengthen the support of stimulus premise to conclusion relationship.

I got this one right by thinking of the naive assumption the stimulus wanted me to make; which was essentially to fool us into thinking that red meat is high in fat. Notice that answer C and E both touch upon being high in fat or lower in fat. That's why I chose D, because it was neutral. It says the foods are RICHER in fat than red meat, but that does isn't as naive assumption esque as C or E.

Ive been doing all these correctly and super fast in my head, all I do is 3 things and it works like magic.

I memorized the argument forms and if nothing looks like that, its WRONG

I never forget about the contrapositives since the right answer can be a contrapositive as well

I never try to forget about switching necessity and sufficiency

extremely

thats why one day, you'll be a great attorney, all people that gravitate toward this field have this tendency, always doubting.

I would highly advise against this due to 2 main reasons.

1. Remember, that this is all a relationship, a conclusion is only a conclusion in relation to the premises and context.

2. The second reason is it ties into the first reason in the sense that; you could easily mistake a sub-conclusion as a conclusion by not reading the rest of the text. A sub conclusion is a statement that can be both a premise and conclusion.

ABSOLUTELY, I thought I was the only one who noticed that, I felt like version 1 made me WAY more prepared to tackle questions and this version is missing a TON of stuff and it isn't just that it is missing videos, I truly feel v1 felt more advanced.

So, I did version 1 of 7 sage and am on version 2 now, I learned that contrapositive is EXTREMELY important in choosing correct answer choices because MANY times, you will see an answer choice worded in a way that is equivalent to the contrapositive, and if you DIDNT know the contrapositive, youd skip over it, thinking they are writing crazy things that make no sense!! It's a very good tool to use. Especially say in Must be true questions and a few others.

I have a random question for you, I literally just found out what LSAT flex is. Are we taking the lsat flex this weekend and is it true that the scoring is higher than regular lsat. All my Pt's were not flex, I just saw that option and found out what it is.

Most schools start looking at applications in December. It is a rolling basis, so they take a certain chunk out of each application cycle, say 20 from those who applied in sep, 20 from oct, etc

I like bellc1516's response. I have done 3 pts, did one today and got 150 up from 143. I noticed logic games are hardest but easiest to get better on. the likely scenario list questions are freebies, so those are 4 questions everyone can get right. I will be doing 30-40 pts before the 13th, am doing 3-5 a day for next 9 days. Will help with anxiety, the real test will feel like nothing by that point at least, I will be so exhausted mentally though
