Is this normal?

I took an untimed written test about 10 times just to get a feel of the lsat before I got into 7sage. My first score was a 141, then in chronological order I scored a 143, 146, 148, then a 155. I switched to 7sage to do my first timed practice test and scored a 146, my second timed test is a 149, and I plan to take another one next weekend. I just wanted to see if I'm behind with my scores, I did notice a jump in my first two attempts of taking the LSAT. Also, does anyone else see an improvement on scores when switching from digital to a written portion? Asking because I have ADHD, and sometimes I feel like I do better on the written version of the LSAT in contrast to the digital version.

Thanks!

Referential Phrase

How do I become better at identifying referential phrasing? I feel like I'm very slow and inaccurate at identifying them and being able to point them out. I would appreciate any advice or help given!

Mastering Conditional Logic

I am and have been stuck at 165 for awhile now. I can see a big issue for me is I can't even do medium level conditional logic. I often make mistakes like not taking the contrapositive, applying the wrong translation rule, and not connecting my chains. How can I learn, practice, and master conditional logic? I have watched the 7sage material several times but it just does not stay with me.

Not Taking a PreTest

I'm wondering what 7sage's thoughts are about not taking a pretest. What I mean is waiting to take a LSAT pretest/diagnostic test until I complete most of the 7sage course. I have never been a strong test taker but like anything in life I feel like with enough studying and understanding how to take the test I can do good. That being said I am only on most strong supported argument right now. Is this a bad idea? Should I just take the diagnostic or pretest?

So using your example, we have R --m--> S --> /L. The valid conclusion we can draw is most R are /L. Let's say we have 3 R's. Most R's are S means at least 2 of my R's are S's (more than half). I then know that all of S's are /L. So if I see S then I need to see /L. So is it true that there's some overlap between R and /L? Yes, that has to be true. It's also true that most R are /L. That's why the valid conclusion we can draw is most R's are /L.

R

R S /L

R S /L

I think for your scope question, those are CBT, and not MBT. I have the drawing of 5 R's and 6 S's. If I see S then I must see /L. but I can have a lot more /L without S. Sure, there can be runners who like to run. But is that MBT according to our sets? No, it's not because there is no guarantee that these two sets overlap. It is a CBT. There is no guarantee that we will get an overlap between R and L, but we are guaranteed an overlap between R and /L.

I hope this helps a bit!

So are you saying it could be true but not guaranteed to be true? I am confused about how it is valid then.

#HELP #help Confused by Invalid Forms 6 of 7

Could someone explain to me the difference between how to identify a valid versus a invalid forum. When I physically write out the concepts I do not understand how to identity (when written out or in my head) if it is valid of invalid. For example:

Most runners buy running shoes. R-->S

Most people who buy running shoes don't like to run. S --> /L

Some runners dont like to run.

This is my drawing

S

S (maybe its here too /L)

S/L

S/L

SR (maybe its here too /L)

SR

SR

R

R

My question is how to identity the scope. You can obviously say that there is a chance that there is no runners who do not like to run but there is also a chance that they do. How do I identity when it is in or out of the scope. I would really appreciate and explanation with examples .
