I think I understand why B is right, since middle ear infections are not defined as being bacterial infections in the stimulus. Probably just assumed this on my first read, which led me to pick A or D. I can't remember. I've drilled this question at least twice.

Answers C and E are easily disqualified. However, A and B all seem to provide about the same level of explanation as each other.

D is wrong, I suppose, because, again, ear infections are not defined as bacterial infections in the stimulus. To me, A provides just as much support as B though. They're both similarly vague and do not really do much to explain the discrepancy.

Why is B right?

Someone help me out here? I have a vague understanding of why C is the right answer, though I naively selected A. Best explanation I could come up with is that there will always be not obese kids being born into the population, regardless of the percentage increase of obese kids.

I have a quick question. I don't start law school until the fall and I know that you usually don't do internships until after your second year but I have a question and I don't know if anyone will be able to answer it but here we go. So obviously in law school you learn how to do a new type of resume. My question pertains to the LSAT and whether or not that is something potential employers care about, especially in Biglaw

I am lost between entering into a paralegal course( 2 year program) then apply to law school or purchase any of the courses on 7Sage then apply to law school?

I am a newcomer to the law society, I am not an expert on what I should choose, it would be very helpful to get your opinions.

Thank you!

Hi,

If you watched the video explanation for this question, could you please help me understand what exactly is it saying? I watch it at least 15 times and I am still puzzled by it. Read all the related posting, still no help.

While taking the test, I saw that the necessary and sufficient conditions have been flipped (assuming this is the flaw). However, I couldn’t locate the correct answer choice that explains this flaw.

I just cannot wrap my head around the video explanation as to why B is the correct answer choice. Is it correct because it points to the flipping of the necessary-sufficient condition or is it the correct answer choice because it points to the mistake of “success in sale” is not the same as “making a comfortable living in sales”? or is it something else?

Answer choice B is saying that if P --> Q does not preclude the possibility of R --> Q. Is this statement necessarily pointing to confusion in necessary and sufficient condition? In my head, this shows confusion as to what sufficient condition entails.

Are we not trying to bridge the gap between premise and conclusion?

Answer choices A and C is equally confusing. Are we supposed to look at the conclusion statement [at least three years developing a client base --> make a comfortable living in sales] while analyzing these answer choices or the statements in the premise [success --> in sales for at least 3 years].

Any help?

Thank you

Hello guys,

This was obviously a tough question, and after hours of tearing out my hair, I understand where the flaw is and why answer choice E is correct. Yet, there is still one component I am confused about.

Can someone in more detail explain how the individual income and car price could decrease, and individuals could still pay more today versus 25 years ago? Because, originally, I assumed it was erroneous to assume that people are spending more today on cars, if there income is substantially lower than in the past. I believe it relates to the proportion aspect, but I am still confused.

Thanks in advance,

Kristen

Quick question, I've noticed that I am more prone to missing questions on the first RC passage than I should when I do PTs. I think, I could be wrong because things blur a bit when you study for a stupid long time for the LSAT, that JY mentioned in passing in an explanation that students miss more on the first passage....

So my question: is this a thing that people can be more prone to missing more questions on the first passage? Is it like something to do with warming up as you go through the passages? Or am I an outlier hahaha

Anyone deal with this/ have ideas on how to prevent this?

Edit: the more I think about it, I've noticed I make more dumb mistakes in the first couple of questions in LR and LG than I should. Its not as common for me with those sections but maybe theres a pattern....hmmm

Anybody doing LSAT stuff? Daniel does LSAT stuff and he's really good at it. So if you want to be really good too, come and ask him anything.

Hey guys,

I've started doing logic games this week... I went through the sequential games section and now on the sequential grouping with a twist games.

I've never done a logic game before and am doing all the Ultimate+ problem sets; and I find most of them incredibly challenging. I don't even know where to start on a lot of the diagrams/inferences.

I'm wondering if this is a natural symptom for a beginner or something I should begin to pick up intuitively. I am trying to do the foolproof method as much as I can... But I'm a little anxious I'm completely inept at this section.

Thanks!

Hello folks,

Why do the pages look unclear when I print them? Am I doing something wrong?

Hey guys,

I am in the middle of the fool proof method, working on all logic games from PTs 1-39. In the beginning I was just skipping the miscellaneous games because JY would say "you don't need to worry about this, you won't encounter it on a modern-day LSAT etc." However, after exploring the question bank and different types of questions it appears that there are very difficult miscellaneous games recently (especially with the virus game last October). So I'm wondering how closely I should be reviewing these miscellaneous games and I guess I am answering my own question as I type this... so I guess my real question is how were your experiences with miscellaneous games after using the fool proof method? How closely did you focus on them? Did you find that the lessons you learned from the more common types helped prepare you? I find my speed and accuracy, along with my understanding of sequencing, in/out, grouping games and grasp of conditional logic are all increasing at a normal rate, but then I get totally discouraged when I can't even do a miscellaneous game in under something like 20 mins.

I also just want to thank everyone who posts on here, I am going at this 6-7 hours per day, some days are better than others and when I'm at my lowest I usually go on here and am just constantly reassured that I am normal and so many other people have been in the exact same situation I am in... the only solution is to keep pushing forward.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I’m seeking some clarification for the following argument that is given as an example of a “Belief vs Facts” flaw in the Core Curriculum.

Admin edit: Removed. Please link to the argument and do not post things directly from the course.

My breakdown of the argument is as follows:

A (FRB) is a (X)

Dr. L knows that her colleague’s lab detected a (FRB) earlier this year

Therefore, Dr. L knows that her colleagues lab detected an (X)

The curriculum says the conclusion does not follow because it’s not clear that Dr. L knows what (X) is, except that her colleague’s lab detected one. So my question is would the conclusion follow if it instead said “Therefore, Dr. L knows that her colleague’s lab detected a (FRB)”, rather than an (X) that was erroneously concluded? I’m just a little tripped up because the argument is concluding that Dr. L knows that her colleague’s lab detected something (X), which follows from the premise that Dr. L knows that her colleagues lab detected an (FRB), which is an (X). I feel as though my lack of understanding for this flaw is exploited time and time again on LR questions so any additional insight is appreciated. Thanks!

To all 7sagers who are alone today because we can't have a life while also studying for LSAT or to others who are in a relationship,

Happy Valentines Day! (3 (3 (3(/p)

I hope you all have a love and logic filled day! May you all get each and every single LSAT problem right! ;) And may we stock up on chocolates tomorrow because they will be half-off! Love you all (3(/p)

Roses are red

Hope everyone has had a decent holiday!

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anybody familiar with testing accommodations could answer a question. I was wondering if you guys think I will get extra time. I have something called Raynaud's Disease. Long story short, when I get nervous, due to Raynaud's, my hands and feet get numb cold. I can barely move them. I also get extremely short of breath. I am writing to LSAC saying that I have difficulty moving my hands and breathing. I genuinely cannot turn pages or bubble answers quickly. I also have the medical test that proves I have the disease. Do you guys think that this will qualify for extra time? I took the sept 2016 lsat, before I was diagnosed. I have never gotten extra time before on anything; I just got this diagnosis in December.

Hi! I'm looking for a study buddy in the GTA (toronto) area to blind review and keep each other motivated. I'm taking the June LSAT. Message if you're interested

It would be better if I can see which section has the live commentary video. It really helps me a lot with timing and real strategy, but it is hard to find them. Some sections have it, but some don't.

What is a Blind Review Call? Why have I heard about it from Sages and other community members saying that it expanded their knowledge of the test elevating their score bands while surprisingly providing a place to build friendships that have lasted beyond their LSAT prep into Law School?

Vanessa and I are here to answer your questions with an interactive experience Thursday night, Feb 16 @7pm EST.

https://media.giphy.com/media/gHrHtU5hORzfW/giphy.gif

Answering some of the most common questions –

BR Calls provide a challenging experience to verbally explain your thought process on any given question – whether it was tough and need another person’s perspective to find that “AHA” moment or to share with someone that is struggling to be able to “really get it” so they won’t make the same error of reasoning in the future. We all have different strengths/weaknesses and learn so much from each other.

To make it a truly interactive experience, please post any LR question up to PT49 for us to be able to provide examples of how the process works!

The last 3 words of the conclusion states "such as diatoms." Doesn't that only mean that some of the Antarctic algae COULD be diatoms? Or is that stating that diatoms were in fact a large portion of the Antarctic algae? I hesitated on answer choice D because if diatoms weren't the only type of Antarctic algae then this answer choice isn't as relevant. Thanks for any input.

Hey guys,

I just signed up for 7sage but I've been studying for the june lsat for about 3 months now, around 10-15 hours a week. I've gone from low 150's high 140's starting out to averaging 163 over my last 4 preptests. My question is what do you guys continue to work on as your scores improve? I signed up for 7sage for the test analytics and as a way to get a new twist on areas of the test I struggle at the most. Any ideas on how to "max myself out"? I'm currently working on my weakest areas which are LR assumption questions and flaw questions.

What I'm doing right now is trying to go through old preptests I've taken and ace individual timed sections, 35 for LR and RC but 30 for LG, taking at least one test a week. I've taken close to 20 tests. I have yet to actually ace anything but I do -1 to -2 on LG and RC a fair amount but can't seem to crack around -5 on LR. The more tests I take the more I realize you can struggle in 1 section with a -5 but if you can 0 or -2 a couple sections it is huge for high scores.

Hopefully, this isn't to incoherent. I just really want a 170 score and want to spend my remaining 5 months getting as prepped as possible.

7Sagers,

On Monday, February 20th, at 9 p.m. EST, I’ll talk about letters of continuing interest and other waitlist strategies. After my presentation, I’ll answer your questions.

So I am currently working on incorporating the memory method into RC and have had mixed results. I'm losing a lot of time on the questions portion. When y'all go through the AC's, once you find the correct one do you then skip the rest of the AC's or read the rest just in case?

I'm early on in the process but I'm ranging from 30 secs over to hitting 5:09 on the questions. Just want to see how everyone else is doing it.
