My two LR sections had a question about sockeye salmon being released into a river in one of them, and an "explain the discrepancy" about milk and yogurt for the other one.

Expected Improvement with 7Sage?

I started some preliminary LSAT prep, and on my diagnostic, I'm currently -5 on LG, -6 on LR, and -4 on RC. I know it's not great, but if I do the full course, is it gonna give me the bump I need? I know not a lot of programs do small bumps in each section easily.

I didn't know about the acceleration! That helps a lot.

Unfortunately, I can't skip my Kaplan course. My poor sweet mother bought it for me before I got home for the summer, and I would feel extremely guilty skipping those classes when she's paid for them. Fortunately, they're only twice a week.

I know where will probably be a lot of overlap between Kaplan and 7Sage...for example, the practice exams. So really, I'm asking, since both will probably cover this, would you recommend I do them with 7Sage instead? And are ALL the 7Sage videos essential to the program?

Thanks!

Scheduling? Help!

I just bought the 7Sage package like a week ago, and my schedule says I'm going to need at least 8 hours a day, six days a week until my end date to finish this program. I just don't have that time in my schedule. I'm concurrently taking two summer classes, plus an additional Kaplan course. I've just finished the Nova book, and I have two Bibles to go through. What do I do? Is there anything I can skip?

From my reading of answer choice A, and the sentence "the only kind of evolutionary pressure that can reduce the average size...[is] reproductive success", reproductive success and the need to ensure a diverse population are both types of evolutionary pressure. So the reason A is wrong is because it references the wrong evolutionary pressure -- the need to ensure a diverse population -- as the factor causing the frequency of small size, whereas the biologist directly credits reproductive success as the cause. And that's why D is correct, because it eliminates the evolutionary pressure of ensuring a diverse population as a possible cause for the goats' small size, because the biologist claimed the evolutionary pressure of reproductive success is the sole cause.

@ Same! I'm freaking out that everybody else is saying that it's the easiest of the 70s -- I think I did way better on my experimental and it's killing me.

@.lu2017 I would recommend bubbling one "flip" at a time. So one whole game, or one whole set of passage questions, or two pages of LR questions. It helped me a lot.

@ I seem to remember clay tablets being third, also.

@ I think exam anxiety might have thrown me on my first two sections...felt pretty normal for the other three.

@ I feel the same way right now. I didn't feel 100% about my LG, which everybody else is saying was easy, but now thinking back on it, I can't think of a question that I was genuinely lost on. Same with my first LR, which I felt a little woozy on for the first page or two -- can only think of maybe a question or two I really felt unsure about.

It depends...how bad do you think it was? Does "a bit hazy" mean you think you lost one or two more points than normal or you think you bombed the whole section? I had surgery before my first LSAT and didn't end up cancelling my score -- but I felt hazy through my first RC and my first LR, and ended up scoring -10 from those two sections alone.

@ I got that question, it's not experimental. And @ it was not the same question as the CEO question.

Did anyone else with experimental LG find the second one easier than the first? I blanked on the first game in that set and pretty much forced my way through tables at a fair.

I had Iron in Food/Parkinsons and my experimental was LG!
