Hopefully this will come out before October.. apparently they ran into publishing issues and it was delayed.

I was struggling with the correct answer (B) and (E). Obviously, (B) is correct, because it points out the assumption that the route that polar bear went is already familiar to them, therefore, it does not meet the criteria (definition) of "navigation". However, I think (E) also points out that "polar bears rely on their extreme sensitivity to smell in order to scent out familiar territory", while in the contextual information, it has been pointed out that Navigation is defined as (1) animal's ability to find its way from unfamiliar territory to points familiar to the animal (2) but beyond the immediate range of the animal's senses. (E) points out the assumption that it is in the range of the animal's sense, because polar bears' extreme sensitivity to smell; therefore weaken the argument.

I saw couple people were struggling with this answer choice for the same reason, could someone help us? I will really appreciate.

Did anyone else complete lessons that are now marked as incomplete? Just making sure so that I don't skip over any that I have not done.

Both 7Sage and LSAT Trainer cherry pick individual questions to correspond to particular lessons, which is a good thing. I keep meticulous records of all those questions in an Excel spreadsheet (conditionally formatted to mark any I missed). That way, after I finished my core study, and begin to PT, I will know what tests are truly untouched.

My question: will it throw off my 7Sage analytics to input those scattered individual questions to identify my problem areas? Are the algorithms designed for whole PTs only? I don't want to do it if it will obscure my PT improvement.

During a timed section, how often do you skip questions? How much time do you spend on the question before skipping? I am wondering is skipping after 1 read through and not quickly seeing an answer is too fast.

@"Dillon A. Wright" are you guys doing maintenance on the site? For some reaSon the only resource available is the scorer. None of the other resources come up when they are clicked on.

I tried to find out why A was wrong, but I still have no idea why. :(

Why A can't be an answer? Does highway traffic "has not increased" mean highway traffic is the same as a year ago?

So I think A also eliminates a possible alternative explanation for why there's a reduction in the number of highway traffic fatalities.

Can anyone explain why A is wrong and E is an answer?

Thanks!

I paid for the Ultimate package... Why am I locked out of problem sets and why did the syllabus and my study schedule both show I have not completed practice sets I completed previously?

Hi guys, On my last 3 PT I've takdn at the actual test location under timed conditions I've had much more trouble finishing the sections on time and my scores have really dipped. I have no issues when I take a strict timed PT at home so I guess this is psychological. I keep putting myself in the test day environment but I haven't seen any improvement. Do you guys have any suggestions on how to handle? I'm worried because my scores are like 7-8 points lower when I'm testing at the test location. Thoughts?

I've been trying to answer a lot of people's questions about the changes going on with the site, and I trust that y'all have a plan in place for the new problem sets and all that. However, I don't get why all of the explanations have been removed from the analytics page. It was so easy to jump right into reviewing after I BR because I could just open a new tab right off of the analytics page with my scored PT breakdown showing individual links for explanations for each question. After poking around I finally discovered I could still access the explanations, but now I have to go to the syllabus, find the PT I just did, and then go to a page with no information on my performance and select whatever questions I'd like to review. I'm hoping this is just a byproduct of some ongoing transitions behind the scenes because it was much more user friendly in the previous setup. I know that y'all work hard to make this site what it is, so @"Dillon A. Wright" or @alancheuk could either of you shed some light on this for us? I know I'm not the only one with these questions. Thanks for all that you do for this community, we really appreciate it!

Hey all,

What does the phrase "susceptible to proof" mean? The context is an answer choice for a LR question, "A reasoning error in the argument is that the argument overlooks that what is not in principle susceptible to proof might be false."

This is Section 3, Question 10, PT 26 for your reference.

Thanks so much!

I'm sure that I'm not the only one that noticed there are a bunch of new problem sets shoved into our study guide. This really stressed me out, since I was just about to finish the old problem sets, and now I have no idea which ones I have done or should do. I am planning to take the test in October, and I don't think I'll be able to finish them all in time while doing the PTs at the same time. Is anyone else in the same boat?

PT46 BR Tonight at 8pm EST

Dear friends, did you awaken with a sense of undeniable joy that today is LSATurday? I know I did. Because I, like you, love the LSAT.

If you do not yet love the LSAT or are looking to rekindle the flames of your desire to immolate it by means of your passion, then join us tonight for our group blind review of PT46. We will light your candle, and you ours.

Note on BR groups/how to join/our process

To mix metaphors a bit:

After starting PTs a couple weeks ago with 36 and going in order from there, I started to wonder what other approaches people take to doing PTs. So for those of you that are in PT mode I was curious about strategy. Does everyone just do them in order and eventually see a decrease in their scores as PTs get harder and then their scores rise again when they adjust? Or are some of you mixing it up a bit and either doing them randomly or deliberately in a different order, but perhaps saving a few of the most recent for right before your real LSAT?

I purchased the ultimate edition a while back. Today I found that there is a bunch of uncompleted content in sections I had previously completed. Is this all brand new content or were the lesson unticked when they were updated? Also is the new locked content part of some super mega ultimate edition package add-on? Thanks.

All lessons with problem sets are not available. For example, "Main Point and Main Conclusion Question Problem Sets" and "Most Strongly Supported Questions Problem Set" and their corresponding answer pages are saying "page not found". Any ideas what's happening?

GROUP 1: IF, WHEN, WHERE, ALL, THE ONLY, EVERY, ANY, WHENEVER, ANYONE & GROUP 2: ONLY, ONLY IF, ONLY WHEN, ONLY WHERE, ALWAYS, REQUIRES, MUST (Group 1 indicators follows with sufficiency and group 2 indicators follows with necessity)

In the logic introduction lessons, J.Y has introduced a very effective way to translate English into Lawgic language. I think it is very helpful and mechanical. However, I think it would be better if folks could help me to understand the actual meaning of these indicators from group 1 and 2 in order to memorize them and process faster. Some words look so similarly. For example, "the only" is from group 1, while "only, only if" are from group 2; "when" is from group 1, while "only where" is from group 2. Can somebody help me to understand how to distinguish those words, so I can process the translation more easily, or could you please share how you memorize those words which look very similar.

Thank you so much!!

Hey, guys!

I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with the Law School Prep course here at 7Sage. I love the community, the program is amazing, and I'd like to continue supporting this program as it supports my growth and ability to do well in law school. I've watched all the free videos, and I'm confident that my familiarity with 7Sage will be a nice fit with the Law School Prep Courses offered. However, What does it include that programs like "Barbri" and "Mini Review" do not? Maybe this is the wrong section for this, and maybe I'm asking too many questions, but I'm not exactly sure what to look for. Am I looking for just practice exams at issue-spotting? Am I looking for more than that? Will I need to go beyond 7Sage like some others do for the LSAT prep course (LSAT Trainer mixed with 7Sage)? I love 7Sage, and I trust their product, I just want a bit of a nudge haha! Hope all the waiters are dying with anxiety like I am :D! Good luck to those studying! This is an awesome course.

im a bit confused, after the first blind review section it just jumped to a practice exam with all the sections when all ive done so far is some grammar and intro to arguments sections.

can someone clarify? thnx

PT66 BR Tonight at 8pm EST

Just when you were thinking to yourself, "Man I sure could use some group blind review..." Well, we're doin' PT 66 tonight at 8pm EST.

Note on all groups

I know most people have a pretty hard time with RC and there are a host of issues going on. One issue that I think trips up a lot of people is familiarity. If you were an art history major who hates science, then that passage on chemistry is probably going to suck for you. The opposite is also true, as many of the writings on the humanities or law may be difficult for STEM experts. With all of the work everyone is putting in simply to go through the curriculum, learn the test, drill questions and do PTs, there isn't much time left to follow the common advice to read Science, Nature, The New Yorker, The Economist, etc. So what's an aspiring law student to do? One word: audiobooks. I searched the forum and couldn't find any mention of using them and so I thought I'd offer it as a possible solution for developing familiarity, and it won't even cost you a dime. A few months ago I got my first library card since I was a kid and started checking out a variety of audiobooks to listen to during my commute to work (~60-90 minutes roundtrip). While at first I grabbed whatever was new, or seemed to have an interesting premise, I eventually realized that I should use it to familiarize myself with areas I hadn't studied in a long time. I can't begin to say how much it has helped me on RC, as well as on a small handful of random LR questions that were a bit dense with scientific terminology. Simply passively listening to books on chemistry, cosmology, physics, etc. has helped me read scientific passages more easily, to the point that I now get somewhat excited when science passages come up whereas I used to slog through them. I find it is also much easier to read these passages once you have heard many of the words out loud rather than reading them on your own elsewhere and not knowing what they sound like for sure.

So in the interest of building this thread as a catalog of possible choices of audiobooks to go find at your local library, here are a few I have both enjoyed and found helpful so far:

The Disappearing Spoon And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean (very entertaining book about chemistry through the lens of the periodic table, he's also written a couple other books I'm going to hunt down since I like his writing/reading style, they're called The Tale of The Dueling Neurosurgeons, and The Violinist's Thumb)

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking (pretty heady physics and cosmology for casual listening but generally it's amazing)

The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking (a much more accessible and more recent work)

I haven't done this yet but I want to do it before the end of this month, if you go to this link you can download oral arguments from the Supreme Court and then put them on your phone or MP3 player or a CD and then listen which should help with some of those dense law passages we encounter: http://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_audio.aspx

If anyone has any other audiobooks or other audio resources to suggest just post them here and I'll add them to this list so everyone can find a quick and consolidated list to help save time while passively learning new things. Good luck everyone and I hope this helps y'all in your prep!

I personally love Social Media, though that just may be due to the fact that I never go outside, haw haw. So let's share our Social Media!

I am using the most recent version of Chrome (Version 43.0.2357.124) and about a week ago or so I started having issues with the Recent Discussion links on the dashboard page. I can see everything on the dashboard just fine but I can't access any of the discussion board topics from the dashboard. The little white glove still appears to indicate a hyperlink, but nothing happens when I click the topic titles. However, I can access the discussion forum from the top banner and then everything works for me from the main discussion forum page. Is anyone else having similar issues? It's not a huge deal, just thought I'd bring it up because I usually access the forum through comments on the dashboard and now it's not working. Thanks for any help in this matter.
