Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has founded/created a good LSAT quizlet that has logical indicators, premise/conclusion indicators, etc.? Basically, the more "memorize" portions of the LSAT.

Would appreciate any assistance!

Best,

Stiv Mucollari

Consider this original statement: "Most people are white." Its negation is: "It's not the case that most people are white." i.e. 0-50% people are white. Isn't this the equivalent of "Most people are not white"?

In contrast, given: "Most people are not white" Its negation is "It's not the case that most people are not white." i.e. 0-50% are not white. In this case, I know the negation is not equivalent to "Most people are white". It's not a binary cut here. Compared to the first statement, what changed? I'm not sure how to think about this.

The question asks us to identify the best explanation for why these birds choose a wooden box. The given answer choice B only explains why the birds prefer the wooden box to "highly concealing woody vegetation" but fails to account for why the wooden boxes are preferred over open grasslands. Answer C seems to more fully resolve the question. Defensive behavior from 'nest builders' ( which I have taken to mean both the birds who next in highly concealing woody vegetation and open grasslands as the wooden boxes specifically wouldn't have to be a built nest.) Taking this assumption doesn't C answer the question more fully than B.

I get the issue is probably that my assumption goes too far. But the LSAT often requires us to make leaps in logic that feel much further than the wooden box vs nest builder assumption I've made here.

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

Looking for active study buddies who are putting in respectable hours prior to the September test (preferably those who already have the foundation understood).

I’m located on the west side of the United States (Eastern time) and don’t mind in person but I know we could maximize our time and attempts best through “Discord”.

Please only respond if you are looking to actually start studying immediately. If you are unsure of your study schedule this late into the game you can try to find a session on going when you can.

I’ll send a message with the discord link to those who are interested. Will be doing a 2 hour session tonight for “Logical Reasoning”.

I don't understand the meaning of this phrase when used in answer choices for questions concerning argument flaws. Like does it mean that the argument is flawed because there could have been stronger use of this aspect that was taken for granted? Does it mean the argument is flawed because it drew a weak/misguided conclusion from this aspect?

I have been scoring very consistently (plus or minus1) around a score that I am very happy with for a month and a half now, but yesterday, on my last planned practice exam, I just completely bombed the RC section, resulting in a score a whole 7 points before my average. I knew it while I was in the test. It felt like my short term memory was just gone all of a sudden. LR sections were consistent with my past performance, but I don't really understand what was going on with RC. Has anyone else experienced this sudden lapse in short term memory? It felt very specific, because, as I said, LR felt solid. Any thoughts on how to prevent this on the real thing next week?

Hi!

I'm less than a week out from the august LSAT test and am feeling burnt out and a little discouraged with my PTs. I know that I will most likely have to take the test again in October but still want to put my best foot forward. Does anyone have any advice leading up to the test? Any advice on getting over plateau I am at for Oct test studying?

Can someone explain why E and not B is the correct answer? I am not totally convinced by the explanation given here. This is because the idea that the work is split equally is not explicitly used as "one of the argument's presuppositions." However, the relevance of West's conclusion to the premises is directly implicated as he clearly does not use the relevant evidence (the proportion of correct decisions made by the quality control workers). Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I recently got my score for the September 2023 LSAT (I just finished the writing section) and I am wondering if I should cancel it. I got a 165, however, I am retaking the test this August (2024) and again this September. I have recently been testing in the high 160's and low 170's and so I was wondering if I should cancel the 165 or just let it stay. I would really appreciate the advice!

Is anyone interested in holding each other accountable that lives in the Denver area? It could just be to sit down and do work together or more collaborative if we have similar goals/current preparation levels.

Did everyone else just get a huge amount of content added to their reading comprehension section? For the entire month I've been using 7sage there has only been the science passages section, which I did think was weird. Have I been using the format wrong or was there just a big update..?

Hello everyone,

If you are looking for a serious study group, please DM me or respond to this post with your discord user. Our group meets every Saturday and discusses the same PT section we have all taken, time or untimed (depending on where you are at). Essentially, think of it as a blind review as a group, except we analyze questions to the point where we hammer down clear cut patterns to replicate on most other questions and question types. Success is achieved when you bounce tactics off one another as to figure out what works universally, or what works best personally. You do not need to be available every single week to join, but we're looking for engagement.

Hi everyone! I’ve never posted on here before, but with one month of studying basically just the fundamentals and MC/MSS LR questions, I went from a 146 diagnostic to 150! Even though I know it’s not a good score, I am really proud of improving, and even more proud of getting a 156 on my Blind Review! To me, it shows that the time constraint is one of the biggest challenges for me, so with enough practice, I can get my score up even higher.

Basically the title, I finished RC on Monday and the entire CC, but with the new update to RC is it wise to go back and do the CC or should I start my next phase. A little bit of background info, I do not have a test date planned but rather a target score, I do have one constraint which is I need to take the LSAT on or before January. I am finishing my undergrad come September so that’s another variable. I have taken the LSAT once before and RC was a weak point of mine, although I do feel slightly confident after doing the RC curriculum. Would like a professional opinion on what I should do.

Hi all,

I have been studying for the LSAT since March. I started with a 143 diagnostic, and there was a slow and steady improvement since then. For the last 5 prep-tests, I have been scoring between 157-159 (BR 163 - 165) and I feel pretty confident with my skills to be in this score band. My goal is to score between 163-165. I registered for the September sitting which is in approximately 5 weeks. I feel like it's doable and within my grasp. Are there any tips or advice from people who were in my shoes, to overcome the 160 barrier?

I'm doing two sections daily and one prep test a week.

I would really appreciate any advice on studying tactics, warmup, test strategies...etc.

does anyone have an estimate for how many hours the new RC curriculum will take? i planned out my schedule thinking it would only be 8-10 hours but it's wayyyy longer now and i'm kind of freaking out about having enough time to get through it all

I just took my second prep test on Lawhub and none of it is updated in 7sage. I didn't do the second test through the 7Sage site but 7Sage was linked (it grabbed my first prep test). Until it is updated I can't see any of my analytics.

Has anyone else had the same issue? Can someone redirect me to some help?

It seems like numerous sections have been added to the Reading Comprehension section of the Core Curriculum. Would love some further insight into the update, like what was changed and why. Also, each lesson says it would take only 1 minute, yet some lessons have videos that are 5 minutes or longer. Some clarity on what is happening would be great if possible. Thank you 7Sage team!
