I figured since there is no explanation video on this one, I'd offer my two cents. Please feel free to respond if my explanation is lacking anything or if you have a better one.

So the correct AC is B and here is why. The stimulus tells us that essentially that scientists relying on social reasons like prestige is not actually a bad thing when they are accepting arguments because social reasons are used to influence every human endeavor. The reason why this is the flaw is because it essentially relies on the fact that this justification is used so often as a valid reason to justify this claim. We know this because social reasons are stated to influence every human behavior, highlighting the frequency of use. The principle behind this argument is "if a justification is used frequently then the justification is valid. But obviously this is not true, just because a justification is used frequently it doesn't mean it is at all a valid way of supporting the argument. I mean we can even use real life examples to really highlight how wrong this claim is. Human emotions also influence every human endeavor, does that mean scientists are justified in accepting scientific arguments based on human emotions and is it right that doing so isn't detrimental? Of course not, doing so would lead to so many biases and flawed groundless conclusions.

I'll also disprove C because it seems to be a popular AC. The reason why this is not the correct AC is because it is not the flaw. This AC is saying that the argument does not consider the fact that these scientists in addition to relying on social reasons also consider relevant evidence when accepting these claims. This actually sounds like it is strengthening the argument. Now we have evidence that these scientists are not just blindly accepting arguments based on social reasons and that there is actually some actual definitive evidence behind these justifications.

This is how I explained this question to myself, I'm curious to know your thoughts.

I'm looking for people to study together in long island area for this summer. I live in Garden City.

I plan to take the September lsat. My pt score range is around 170-175 and I hope to score 175+ in September. Please send me a message if you are interested in studying together!

Hello!

Could anyone explain to me why answer choice B doesn't mimic the flaw in the stimulus like answer choice C does? I watched the video and spent some time with it on my own, but I am still lost! This is the question on artificial sweetener and aspartame

Heads up, everyone! Starting July 1, LawHub Advantage will be increasing the cost of their annual subscription by $5. It's going from $115/year to $120/year.

If you're planning to re-up your LawHub Advantage subscription and want to save the $5, make sure to renew before July 1 at https://www.lsac.org/lawhub. Remember, you can get LawHub Advantage for free (and 7Sage for $1!) if you qualify for an LSAC fee waiver.

I'm curious if anyone has been in a similar situation and can give me some color on how they went about successfully receiving accommodations.

I was diagnosed with a learning disability in elementary school and received testing accommodations (Time and a half) until I graduated High School. I did not elect to receive accommodations on standardized tests (SAT/AP/ACT). I did not elect to receive accommodations in college either. All I have is proof of my initial diagnosis (from elementary school) and an IEP (Individual Education Program) that states I am to be given accommodations for testing. There is no proof that these accommodations were continued throughout high school because all that was necessary for me to receive the accommodations was a written letter from my parents every year requesting that I still receive said accommodations.

I'm confident that I can have my General Practitioner fill out the necessary form and even write a letter that I should receive accommodations but I am not sure that along with my documentation from elementary school will be enough. Do I need a psychologist to do so? Will my Dr be enough? Will my lack of accommodations past high school disqualify me?

I called LSAC and they were rather unhelpful. All they told me to do was submit the proper documents and when I asked if what I have will be enough they told me to reference the website.

Anyone have any recommendations/advice on how I can sure up my chances of receiving accommodations? Kinda freaking out here.

I've been studying for the LSAT for about a month now, am currently testing around 170, and shooting for 175; I'm looking for a small group, also aiming for 170+ scores, to meet with regularly online.

I’m currently preparing for the LSAT and I'm looking for a study group in the Toronto area to help keep each other motivated and discuss complex topics. I’m aiming for the September 2024 test date. Ideally, I'd like to connect with someone who is also serious about studying and can meet regularly online or in person to review sections and share insights. If you're interested, please let me know so we can coordinate our schedules and start studying together!! Thank you 🙏

Good morning, all!

I'm Orlando Florida. I plan to study at UCF (or anywhere in the area) every Wednesday. I'm in the high 150s, to mid 160s. My goal is a mid 170s. Is there anyone who would like to join?

How do we study for the new LSAT if we don’t want to “contaminate” the prep tests by running into problems that we already solved by following the study schedule provided by 7sage? I want to solve practice problems, but am afraid that I would remember the answers for the questions when i’m taking the PTs in the future…

For some reason my drills have been expiring way before the time is up. I was doing a timed section and 9 minutes into the drill stated I ran out of timed and kicked me out mid game. Please fix this error.

Dear all,

I scored 168 in the June test, and my goal is to get 172+ in the October test. I am a non-native English speaker and not from the US. I have been studying for this test for two years. I feel I might hit my limit by studying myself and may need help from an expert. There are only three months before the October test, so my time for significant improvement is limited. I am thinking to work with a tutor, but I have no idea which tutor might work best for me since there are so many tutors in 7 Sage. Can you guys kindly recommend one or two tutors to me based on your experience? Thank you very much! I wish you all the best on the LSAT.

Edited

Has anyone used the LR Loophole as a study resource in addition to 7Sage? So far I am finding it helpful but I was curious how other 7Sage users have used this in combination with 7Sage.

Hello everyone! I wrote the test in June for the second time and scored 153. When I first started studying for the test, I set my goal to 165. However, after nearly 6+ months of studying I cannot get anything past 155 on timed tests. Of course, I am able to score much higher than 155 on an untimed test, but it's very difficult to almost impossible for me to score higher than this on a timed test. I'm not looking to go to a t14. I'm based in Michigan and want to stay close to home so the two schools I'm looking at are Detroit Mercy and Wayne State. I have a 3.9 GPA and my resume is pretty decent imo. I have a couple of internships and have been working as a legal assistant for the past year. I don't know if I should retake it or if my stats are good and I should apply. Also, LG was the easiest section for me and now that it's gone, the test will definitely be much more difficult for me. Should I apply or should I study for another 6 months or however long it will take for me to reach my target score?

Thank you in advance!

Are you curious about how the application review processes work at different law schools within the T17? What do these law schools want to receive from applicants? How should candidates strategize written materials and communications?

Just hit my first 170 after studying for many many months (146 diagnostic)! Hoping to keep it up, progress feels AMAZING!

For example if in the stimulus the conditional statement is A->B can the right answer be /B->/A? or does it need to take the original form?

I find myself having three problems on the LSAT

Lack of stupid errors, overlooking one particular word or reading something as "drowning" instead of "Downing".

In Flaw and NA questions, I usually understand the flaw. For example, I can tell that its confuses sufficiency for necessity. HOwever, I struggle to connect my hypothesis with the language in the answers.

The last is a lack of attention and struggling on RC passages, especially when it comes to inference questions

I would appreciate any help or advice, thanks

I am registered for the August LSAT and I was wondering, for those who took the June test, how people's at-home testing experience was. I personally am leaning towards taking it at the crib, but I want to hear what other people are doing.

I'm going on a flight, and I want to save my test as a PDF so I can do the blind review remotely. When I click on printable 4 "quick view" buttons pop up, but it is not clear how I actually save the PDF.

Note: all three sessions have now occurred! You can view the recordings: one, two, and three. Note that it will take a day or two for the recording of the third session to appear on the page.

Hey 7Sagers,

Whether you've just received a score from the June test or are deciding on the goal score that makes the most sense for your Law School aspirations, understanding exactly how to fit the LSAT into the broader applications context can be tricky- especially if you're deciding whether or not to keep a score!

Today at noon ET, 7Sage admissions consultant Jake Baska will be leading a free session to help you navigate this topic.

Why do I need to buy LawHub Advantage on top of the Core Curriculum? I think it's pretty ridiculous that the subscription plan does not mention you need to spend another $115 a year on top of the monthly 7Sage subscription just to get access to practice questions and questions that are a part of the core curriculum. This is false advertizing and I want my money back.

Hi all! I wanted to know if anyone else is struggling to focus while studying. I am finding that the lack of focus is leading to procrastination. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to remedy this. Thank you!!

is it normal for you to score a few points below your diagnostic score on your PT and score much higher on your blind review?

Or drill while going through the syllabus and slowly add in a new question type as you get to that chapter?
