I picked C initially but I am confused as to why and how A is the correct answer and how that information could be deduced?

Admin Note: Edited Title. Please use the format "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of question"

So, I can identify the conclusion and the support for the argument, but I'm having a hard time understanding the relationship between them. For some of the questions I can intuit the answer, even if the connection isn't clear, but for other questions, namely the ones that have a lot of background information, or more than one premise, or has two arguments, for example

city official: ....

police chief: ....

Once I identify the argument, I get stuck trying to make sense of what I'm looking at, and then I fail to understand the answer choices well enough to eliminate the wrong ones or recognize the right one. What usually happens is I get down to two answers, either the right one and the wrong one, or two wrong ones. For the latter, I cross out the right answer thinking it's wrong, and for the former, I choose the wrong answer even though the right one looks right but I don't understand why it's right.

I do go in and look at why I was wrong, and it usually makes sense, but it's like it's not sticking, and it's really frustrating to keep making the same mistake. For very question I get wrong on an LR section, at least one of them is from the assumption family.

I'm using Khan Academy to do drills, and for strengthen/weaken questions, I can't get less than 2 wrong, or even get the all right at the advanced level.

I really want to master this test. I'm aiming for a 165 at least, 170 at most, but I can't defeat these harder questions.

Can someone please help?

hello! i am having major last minute application anxiety…i didn’t double space my personal statement on two applications and am now freaking out because i don’t remember if it was a requirement. i believe i would have noticed since i noticed it in my most recent application and formatted accordingly, but now i am horribly second guessing myself. should i contact the admissions offices and ask if they would like me to resubmit the statement? what would you do? :(

Hi all! Anyone else also working full-time while studying on the side? Looking for committed study buddies. Generally available post-6PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. Shoot me an email if interested!

Are the prep tests that don't include LG not printable like the ones that include LG? I click printable and it doesn't take me to a different screen like the other tests. Help plz

let me know!!

I'm planning to take the LSAT in August 2024. I've been using the V2 platform and I am fairly through many of the LR lessons and the foundation courses. I plan to move onto RC in May. I am planning to finish off that section and between end of May and August hammer out as many prep test as I possible can to prepare myself for test day. Mainly for studying purpose right now, I drill and complete the lessons.

I'm feeling a bit insecure about my plan and I am curious to know if anyone else who is taking the exam after June has been completed any of the prep test yet and if so, would you suggest to begin doing them now?

We noticed that a lot of our buttons and icons have gone missing making it very difficult / impossible to navigate through some parts of the site like the Drills and the Lessons pages. We're tracking down the issue right now and hoping to get it fixed asap.

Sorry about this! I'll update as soon as I have more information!

Update

We've found a fallback solution, and we're deploying it now. We estimate that the fix will be live in about five minutes. The site will still have a variety of visual oddities, but it will be functional.

The issue was caused by an outage from our icon provider, and it won't be resolved completely until they fix things on their end.

Thank you for patience!

Update 2

Solution is deployed! Drills, PTs and the Curriculum should be functional now (though they may still look a bit funky). Let us know if you are still experiencing issues.

No check marks or show results button on the drills it is making the syllabus unworkable wtf

Hi, I was working through the curriculum today with no problems but a few minutes ago the green checkmarks and stars disappeared from the v2 syllabus and I couldn't click "Blind Review" or "see results" on the drills. Anyone else having this problem?

Yep me too

using MacBook 2017 w 13.6.6 and am having trouble with the Drilling user interface on both Safari and Chrome. I can't see the difficulty rating or the add question button for any problem, and then when I create a problem set, I can't see the next previous, or finish buttons that usually appear in the bottom right hand corner.

I need help my account is showing like checks showing what I've completed on the syllabus and on the drills and problem sets it isn't showing like timer, any of the options in the top right hand corner with customizable options. I hope I explained that well enough. But I wanna know how to fix it because it's making it hard to use the website.

How do you check answers after completing the blind review? I don't see where you can submit the reviewed section and receive feedback.

What happened to 7Sage Bar? I’ve heard excellent reviews from the course and was planning on enrolling. However, I see that it was cancelled, why is that? Which other prep course would anyone recommend?

Hi everyone,

I am running low on untouched, high-numbered PTs, so I was wondering if I could use the new PTs without LG to get some practice in for the June LSAT? Or would that be frowned upon? I just want to make sure it's a sensible thing to do because I want to practice LR and RC more often than I want to practice LG anyway.

Hello friends,

Just curious when doing practice Preptests, you can filter to Legacy which includes 4 sections or "Current" which only includes 3 sections. I plan on taking the June 2024 LSAT. As far as I understand, there is still an experimental section on the actual LSAT so for practicing purposes are you guys doing the "Legacy" method of all 4 sections? For those doing PT's with the "Current" of 3 sections, what reasons do y'all have?

So, I understand that the argument is saying that because incidences of the flu were lower during the 6 months of the public health campaign, that means that the campaign was effective.

I chose C - there were fewer large public gatherings than usual during the 6-month period.

But the explanation says that C is wrong because it doesn't address the effectiveness of the campaign, that A is correct because it suggests widespread compliance with the campaign's recommendations of handwashing.

But this doesn't make any sense to me because handwashing isn't the only recommendation of the campaign. Avoiding public places when experiencing flu symptoms is also a recommendation. And if there were fewer large gatherings during the 6 month period of the campaign, then wouldn't that indicate to the effectiveness of it?

The explanation argues that A speaks to the effectiveness of the campaign more than C does because food born illness rates were also low, but what if people were not necessarily washing their hands as a result of the public campaign? Maybe they work in restaurants, where handwashing is necessary. Maybe they work in schools where handwashing vital. And the argument says that the campaign recommended hand washing specifically for reducing the transmission of the flu, what if people were washing their hands to not get sick from food borne illnesses, and the decrease in the rate of the flu was just a by product, which would make it seem like the campaign worked, but it didn't necessarily?

If the public health campaign's purpose was to limit the spread of influenza, and part of the recommendation was to stay away from public places when experiencing symptoms, and during the time of the campaign, there weren't as many large public gatherings, and the rate of the flu decreased...

I mean, I know that C doesn't necessarily mean people heeded the campaign, but neither does A. So how is A more correct than C?

I'm livid because this frustrating! lol

Also, I crossed out A because the argument didn't say anything about food borne illnesses. I also got other questions wrong for doing the same thing... crossing out the right answer because it introduces something new. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong?

Someone stick a fork in me, please..

First of all, I'm very thankful this is my problem. It certainly was not a few months ago. I have been getting so close to perfect on LG sections each time I take, but I seem to get nervous and miss an inference every blue moon, leading to scores anywhere from -1/-3. How do I keep calm and make sure I'm not making stupid mistakes for June?

I only see a handful of practice prompts for the writing on 7sage. Shouldn't there be one writing prompt for each LSAT?

Hello, It's been nearly a decade since I graduated from college. Despite having a low GPA and LSAT scores for law school, I've gained over 10 years of experience in the risk management field at financial industry. I am now considering applying to part-time law schools to explore new opportunities. Currently, I am preparing to take the April LSAT, with plans for another attempt in June before any changes take effect in the August LSAT.

Should try applying this year or next year?

I log in using my correct email and password, but the app on my Ipad and iPhone will not log on. It says "try again" but I log in on my computer and it works just fine.

If i'm taking it in june should i use version1 or 2

Hey everyone! So I am consistently getting -2 or -3 for LR and LG, but RC is constantly -5 to -8... My scores are usually 165-167, but I know I could be in the 170's (my goal) if I fixed RC. Please give me any and every bit of advice you have. I have a lot of trouble focusing from time to time (think I might have undiagnosed ADHD... runs in my family and I have symptoms, but idk if it's genetic?) and I am usually good at reading but for some reason I keep running out of time and really struggling on the questions. TYIA :)

going through core curriculum rn for LR. Should I consistently drill at hard?
