LSAT · PTC.S2.Q3 - Polls can influence voters' decisions...
User Avatar

Thursday, Dec 15 2022

Hey, 7Sage tutor here!

Answer choice A is not refuting the general claim that polls CAN influence voter decisions, but it is narrowing the scope of WHEN people are influenced by polls. Remember, a correct answer choice for a weakening question isn't going to disprove the argument, it's simply going to make the connection between premises and conclusion weaker. If "few" people (i.e. less than 50% of people) are influenced by polls two weeks before an election, which would include the week before the election that's mentioned in the proposed ban, then it weakens the necessity of banning those polls.

I hope that helps!

Hi everyone!

On Wednesday, September 21st, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a webinar about "Pre-phrasing your Way to Success on Logical Reasoning."

If you're someone that sometimes feels disoriented by answer choices or are running out of time on LR, this webinar will hone an important skill for improving both speed and accuracy.

For this webinar, we'll be going over the importance of pre-phrasing, which question types benefit from a pre-phrase vs. which ones don't, how to do it, the degrees of concreteness a pre-phrase could have, and the level of flexibility they should all have.

→ Please register for the webinar here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D5nZuClqSDSO-CwOER_uMQ

⚠️ After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

⚠️ You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

LSAT · I do not understand MBT questions

Hey there!

The example that was given is a great one, but I'd like to nitpick on one point: MBT questions are indeed testing you on your ability to make inferences. It's accurate to say that you should never make assumptions on an MBT (or any) question, but MBT questions are testing your ability to make correct inferences. Of equal importance, they are also testing your ability to not make incorrect inferences.

So, how do we do that?

To make correct inferences, we need a rock-solid understanding of Lawgic: sufficient and necessary condition indicator words and the rules of quantifiers, etc. My suggestion would be to review these portions of the core curriculum: Introduction to Logic, Validity and MBT, Some and Most Relationships, and Invalid Argument Forms.

Hey @ !

I know plateaus can be frustrating, but you can totally break through this! Though the amount of questions being missed may be spread out evenly, the types of questions you're getting wrong within a section may not be. I would recommend looking there, and using that information to either review certain parts of the core curriculum, or create targeted drills for your weaknesses. Also, be sure you're reviewing your tests thoroughly, so that you learn from your mistakes!

Hey!

Because you've already spent a few months building your fundamentals, I would recommend taking a PT so that you can take advantage of 7Sage's unique analytics. Through the analytics, you can diagnose which question types you struggle with, timing strategy issues, or any other weaknesses you may have, and then build targeted drills that combat those weaknesses!

General · Advice needed!! Study Plan for Jan LSAT

Hey, @ !

I'm sorry to hear about the technical and/or proctor issues negatively affecting your performance. The good news is that if you were consistently scoring in the 170s before, you can absolutely achieve that kind of score on an official LSAT!

I would not recommend taking a full, timed PT every day. 1) PTs are a finite resource, and you're already at the point of nearly exhausting that resource. 2) PTs are a great way to gather data about our weaknesses, strengths, and overall test taking strategies for the purpose of diagnosing what drills would improve us the most, but if you're scoring in the 170s, this doesn't need to be your main focus (not to say we shouldn't always try to improve, but just that it doesn't necessitate taking a PT every day). My suggestion would be to use the material you have left in a calculated way that will last you until January.

If you'd like to talk more about how to do this and how a tutor could support you in your final months before January (for example, creating a study plan for you), feel free to use this link to schedule a free consult with one of the tutors here at 7Sage! https://calendly.com/7sage-consult/7sage-tutoring-free-consult?utm_source=DF_T
