I have two questions about this question.

1) Which sentence is the conclusion in the stimulus?

I'm confused between the first and last sentence.

2) I was down to B and C, and am having a difficult time understanding why B is incorrect.

Can someone please explain me?

Thanks in advance!

Hello all - curious to know if anyone is near Flemington, NJ. Wanted to see if anyone wanted to meet up on a regular basis to go over the CC and study together. I really need accountability and a study partner.

Thx.

I am looking for one or two individuals to study with over the next several weeks. This would be for a couple of hours per week in the evenings or on the weekends. We could meet up via via Skype or Zoom. At the moment I am focusing on LG, however, studying a section or two weekly in LR would be very beneficial. If you are interested and think you could benefit from this please direct message me. Thank you and happy studying!

Looking for an LSAT study buddy in metro Atlanta for September/ December LSAT.

Why can we infer that the Antibiotics group cannot have all 3 treatments in from Rule #1?

Some preliminary Googling seems to indicate that the average person processes information more efficiently on paper than on a screen. I wonder if there has been a drop in average raw scores since the administration of the exam changed to the digital format. Thoughts?

Hey gang,

I'm on the verge of taking my timed PTs. I figure I will take my first PT, see my weakness, drill with the question bank, and then resume PTs (if anyone else has any suggestions on how to do this, please feel free). My main question is this: How often should I take PTs? I have a full time job and little one so I don't exactly have the ability to PT between the hours of 9-4. Should I just PT on the weekend? Or should I aim to take a PT after dinner some nights in addition to the weekend? If the idea is to take the PTs with consistency and do it in the morning, I will only have openings on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Is this sufficient or should I try and get some PTs in before I go to work? I work from home so it's not that unrealistic to do, but this would mean me taking PTs starting at like 5 in the morning.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, my name is Erika, I'm looking for a study buddy in the Austin area. if you're interested: e.gtz157@gmail.com

Hey 7sagers. I am doing the in/out games and am trying to print off the pdfs for each practice question. For example, http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/inout-game-2-prompt-and-questions/

However, sometimes when I click the link to either download the pdf or to just get to the link above through the syllabus page I am instead directed to https://classic.7sage.com/enroll/?_s2member_seekingpage=1256

I am a member already so I shouldn't be having this issue. Any ideas?

Edit: Tried on other various links from the "syllabus" page and all links are doing it randomly. Sometimes I click and it will work, sometimes it will take me to the enrollment page.

Scored my PT average on everything except RC. I was 6 pts below my PT RC which resulted in me being 3 pts below the score I wanted. I feel like on test day I just second guess everything about the passage and end up reading it over and over. Any tips/strategies?

December Test Takers! This is it! This is what you’ve all been waiting for! One last BR and then on Saturday, it’s game on!

My advice: taper down on effort. You don’t necessarily have to do nothing this week (especially LG. Use it or lose it), but this week should require less effort from you than the past 10 weeks have. In other words, don’t do 5 PTs this week. And if you can, don’t look at the score of any PTs you take this week. Confidence is so important for the LSAT, and you don’t want yours wrecked by one stupid score. Just take the PT and BR and then have fun discussing the test in a BR group. And that leads into the last piece of advice for this week: Have fun and remember this Saturday’s test is just PT 77. That’s it! Best of luck to all of you!

Hope to see tutors, mentors, and friends (maybe Mike Kim again :) ) at the Pep Rally. Show your support even if you aren’t taking it this Saturday!

Be sure to announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

Anyone in the phoenix metro area looking for a study partner? I'm taking full prep tests and would like to swap explanations for the questions we get wrong.

Does anyone know how US GPA's convert over to Canadian GPAs? Specifically to schools in Ontario. I can't find anything online and the conversion chart on OSLAS is confusing to me. I have an LSAC GPA of 3.89 with only one B on my transcript for all four undergrad years (although,it is a B- in a 5 credit course). Also, my university did not have grades of A+. A+'s would be considered an A.

If anyone has any insight on the 2 last years or 3 best years or whatever that is I'd love to have more information on that as well!

Thanks!

Is there a place where I can find all the pdf files so I can print out them all at once. Sometimes I am studying at the library where I don't have access to a printer.

Looking for a study buddy in Nashville! Hit up this post if you'd like to discuss.

We have B-most->Z which implies two inferences B-most->C and B-most->/O. When you combine B-most->Z with B-most->/P, that gives you the inference /P some Z. But can you also then take the two previous inferences, B-most->C and B-most->/O, in combination with B-most->/P to create to additional inferences, /P some C and /P some /O, respectively? If those last two inferences are not valid inferences, then why are they not? I ask because in the comments on the lesson, someone stated that you can infer /P some Z but NOT /P some C and /P some /O, which makes zero sense to me.

So I took the today's exam and I am currently feeling I bombed it so bad. I had one with the 3 LR's and I really screwed in RC. I guessed about 5 questions just in RC and probably missed another 6-7 questions top of that guessed ones.

My situation is little unique. It's my 4th time taking LSAT and previously I had 151,cancelled, and 162. If I cancel today's exam, I will not retake and apply in the coming cycle with my current numbers but I am wondering if that cancellation or lowest score from today's exam (such as like 155-157) will hurt my admission chance.

Some people suggested me that since the schools are only looking for the highest score anyway, it will not really hurting anything but I am so worrying right now.

If I want to go to say, session 18 or 20 after I logged out, is there a way where I can go straight to 18 the next time, or do I just need to start with 1 and click next 17 more times to get to where I left off? Just wondering if there is a quicker way each time I log out.

Matt

Is anyone interested in checking out my personal statement and giving some critiques/advice? It is still in fairly roughish form, but I'm having internal conflict about what to change/improve/take out etc.

Hey guys,

The last few weeks I’ve been trying to fool proof the logic games section and I stopped reviewing my lr notes.

I dont know what to do because I literally forgot a lot of stuff. Should I restart the lr section of the cc?

I forgot how to answer a lot of the questions. I’m not sure what to do. And if I do remember how to it’s really rusty.

I work full time I’m not exactly sure how to approach the lr section this time. While continueing to move forward reading comp after the logic games.

Any advise will help.

Thanks guys

If we do all the work upfront, then the questions will fly by. If we do all the work upfront, then the questions will fly by.

You guys, this is my new mantra. So simple, but so hard to grasp. I've been watching videos of terrified me ~ staring at answer choices for way too long and hesitating for what looks like an eternity ~ and it hit me! If we do all the work upfront, then the questions will fly by. JY has told us this, but we have to live it and learn it. This mantra may just save my ass on June 3. All together now, "If we do all the work upfront, then the questions will fly by!"

"June 2014 lsat score" thanks

Not sure if there are many people who have already solved this PT but would really appreciate the opportunity to pick your brains regarding this question.

I initially chose D. My reasoning was that looking at mortality patterns with other animals could perhaps reinforce or weaken the idea that more full grown male horse bones = people rode horses. What if mortality patterns of domesticated goats living with the Botai also shows that they had more full-grown males, thus also going against the typical pattern for domesticated animal usage? What if the Botai people just really love male animals? Basically my reasoning was that looking at mortality patterns of other animals could be a point of comparison.

I guess the weakness to my reasoning is that even if goats or other animals go against the typical hypothesis re: domesticating animals, the hypothesis regarding domestication of horses could still be true? So in essence it may not be a good point of comparison and may not yield any information to evaluate the hypothesis? I'm not sure, just trying to pick holes in my reasoning.

I also tried to reason for A: So I'm thinking this is a way for the author to evaluate whether the presence of more male bones than female bones is good enough evidence for the conclusion. If more bones show signs of being gnawed on or something, it could maybe weaken the claim that the Botai people rode horses.

Am I on the right track with A? What do you think regarding my explanation for D?

Hi Guys,

Can you guys please help me take a look if my analysis on B & C is correct? https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-17-section-3-question-08/

The question is very much like a SA question. The answer choices can be quickly eliminated by a match principle into the sufficient condition. However, I think we can expand on this problem more.

A is correct. So won't go into detail about it.

B. The sentence is wrong based on 2 reasons. The first reason is by putting the conclusion as the sufficient condition. Even if we were to change the answer into: If election campaigns are to be funded from public funds, it will allow politian to devote less time asking for money than serving the interest of the public, this is still wrong because it is formulated into a C-->P Relationship, while what we are looking for is P-->C relationship.

C is wrong because it talks of a different set that we do not know. Had this question be translated into an Inference MBT Except question, the asnwer choice then is correct.

D. is wrong based on 2 counts. The first count is of the same reason as B by messing up the location of the conclusion into the suffcient condition. But in addition to it that the question steam mix in an unrealted element. Evne if we have deleted that related element from the sentence, it is still incorrect and not 50% correct due to the location issue with the conclusion statement.

If we were to extent this answer choice's analysis a bit further.

Suppose that in this case, the answer choice for A is wrong too. But D is formulated in the following fashion: "if public funding of some activity produces a benefit to the public but also inevitably a special benefit for specific individuals, the activity should be fully funded by the public while the special interest taker group contributes proportionally more".

In this answer choice, iff answer choice is made wrong in other fashion. D will be correct on 2 counts. 1) The sentence is 50% correct. Although it do have irrelevant items in it but part of the argument goes through along with our principle. 2) It is the most correct answer in comparison with the rest of the answer choice.

Had LSAT do this, then the question's difficulty is pushed to a level 4 or 5 difficulty.

E. is wrong because it like C speaks of another different set of population that is above this univerise. Again, it can become a correct answer choice if it is an MBT Inference Except question.

I know. You're thinking about skipping out on BR groups this week. It's summer, you're having "fun," and October seems so far away. Well, it's not. Don't skip BR groups this week.
