I can't understand why C is the right answer.

I mean if Stilgoe's case would have been stronger if he used these sources then would that it indicate that their view was more negative towards the railroad then the other writers?

Based on this reason, that's why I chose E, but it turns out E is wrong.

I'm stuck in this question.

Can anyone tell me how C is right and E can't be an answer?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently reviewing PT 37 that I completed yesterday and I'm on section 2 #12. Even watching JY's video, I'm still a little confused about the "cannot" and "without" in the stimulus. Anyway, I was just wondering-- what do you do when you have two indicators but they're in different groups? Or the way that JY presents it, maybe we're disregarding the "without" for being in group 3? And we're just treating it as a "no"?

I mean, either way, for the two indicators in one sentence issue--I feel like there was a lesson on this or that it was mentioned somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. If anyone could let met know or let me know what lesson it was in, that'd be great. And if you can further explain #12 I'd really appreciate it too! Thank you! :) Happy studying!

For question 17, I can't differentiate between D and E. For question 18, I got the correct answer via POE, but I don't know what "merely in a matter of degree" means in answer choice C. Can someone translate what that is talking about? Does it mean "quantitatively?" That seems like a weird definition.

Question 17 essentially wants us to support Maritain using something in Passage A. In Passage B, Maritain thinks that animal communication is a conditional reflex and not conscious intent.

Answer D: I see how this answer supports him. Calling causes females to approach and males to retreat. There is no evidence that the frogs do it in order to rely the calling frog's desire/intent to mate nor influence the other frog's behavior. This seems to suggest it is pretty reflexive.

Answer E: But, doesn't this equally support Maritain? The primates don't adjust their call depending on who is there/rely knowledge. Thus, there appears to be no goal/conscious intent either. Doesn't this also suggest that the primate coos and calls as a reflex when it sees food or predators, respectively?

The most difficult for me is the Logical Reasoning and I was wondering if anyone had a perfected study guide for me use. I would really appreciate it! Im taking the LSAT in February and am in dying need of help on this one section as of now!

I am really confused as to why A is correct.

I saw this question as a RRE Q (Resolve, reconcile, explain). Here we have all people of this country approving legislation requiring that certain hazardous wastes be disposed of by being burnt in modern-high temperature incinerators. But there is push back (not getting the building permits) from every Gradaran community that the waste disposal plans to build these incinerators.

I took this as they are trying ot build the incinerators and the push back has to be due to something that the incinerators do. Maybe like pollution. So I am just unsure how A is correct.

Hey guys,

I have a quick question for those who have ordered prep tests from Lsac.org. If I order a prep test from Lsac.org, is the test mailed to me or is there an option where I can download it unto my computer and print it out?

Hey guys, I just started studying for the LG portion of the exam. I was wondering if you had any tips for learning what to look for in the answer choices. For example if the question stem asks, "All of the following could be true except . . . " JY, without skipping a beat, says okay we are looking for 1 Must be false and the 4 others could be true. Not the best example, but its the best I could come up with right now haha. Thank you in advance!

Anyone have a sense of general order of difficulty for Logic Games ---- And/Or a plan of attack based on that?

ie If the 3rd or 4th passage Game to be most difficult, then save to the end...

or if two games are equally difficult, save one with least questions for last?

Thoughts?

Hi there! I am from the Milwaukee area and plan to take the LSAT in April. I was wondering if anyone in the area wanted to meet in-person to become study buddies so we can teach and learn from each other!

Hey guys,

Hope you all did well on December LSAT. Is anyone thinking about applying to Fordham or has already applied? I heard mixed reviews about acceptances and was wondering if anyone has some insight.

Thanks!

I watched JY's explanation video and I see why B is correct, but I'm still confused why D isn't either. It says "if ALL farmers..." in the premise, so how isn't it overlooking that possibility?

LR video review

Hi, guys. Recently purchased the Ultimate+ and really am loving the wide range of problem sets available for improving. My question is this: if through my first run (in this case a MSS problem set) of a problem set I finish each question in good time with confidence, clarity, and correctness; is it worth my extra time to go back through this problem set immediately after with the videos and blind review, even if I felt 100% certain throughout? I'm making my way through the CC now.

Also want to say I love the camaraderie on 7sage. I'm very happy to be here. Writing in November for my first time!

Any helpful tips for LR? I miss questions and then when I look at it a second time I know the right answer without looking at what I chose etc and get them all right. Not sure if pressure is playing a part in this or what the hell is going on.

I simply had no clue for this one. And the correct AC seems to be making a huge assumption so I didn't choose it. Can we really reasonably infer that thieves who do not abandon cars before their owners notice that they have been stolen are more likely to get arrested and convicted? This just seem to be way too big of a gap, and frankly an unreasonable one, to be made.

Why do car thieves steal cars? To sell them or to keep them. So it's totally reasonable to assume that thieves DO NOT abandon the car right after stealing it. And I simply don't see how this makes them more likely to get caught as they could have driven really fast and got far away before the cops could do something.

Has anyone else had trouble with this question? What do you think?

Hi,

My name is Michelle aiming to take both Feb and June. My ultimate goal is June so I would prefer having someone to stay with me and motivate each other all the way until June; but anyone is welcome!

I have gone through Bibles and Manhattan strategies and would like to practice PTs and share opinions with study partner/group.

I would like to meet in person if you are located around Los Angeles, CA or I would like to connect through Email, Skype, Phone etc. I am very committed and anyone who is willing to stay motivated please contact me – michellemoon0708@gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I want to make an actual, active study group. The link is the following: https://groupme.com/join_group/88566845/16xEXYG3

Just copy it. You will have to answer a question of your ideal score to join (this is to deter bots/people who just want to advertise). Please only join if you will be active and have time to study together.

Update: I only have a few requests atm. I will accept everyone when there are a good amount of people.

It seems I consistently make 1-3 LR confidence errors per test. If any of you have had this issue, how have you fixed it? Thanks for the help :)

Hello,

My name is Ken Kim. We are a group of Koreans and Korean-Americans planning to take the LSAT either this October or in a couple of years. We have members scoring from 160-175 either on the official test or practice tests. Some of us are committed full-time to the test while some of us are working at a company, law firm, etc. We meet on the following date at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

2:00 pm-5:00 pm, Sunday

We meet and do problem sets from the 7Sage Core Curriculum. We match our answers and discuss why each one of us have chosen an answer we chose. The fee for joining the study is free other than paying for the studying cafe fee which is 1,900 KRW per person for each hour (5,700 KRW total).

We have about 4-5 regular members joining every consecutive weekend. As for a new member, we accept a non-refundable fee of 5,700 KRW for the first meeting. After that, if the member cancels, we do give a refund for that cancellation. We do not make any profit out of doing this, and the sole purpose of this study meeting is to do LSAT questions and freely exchange ideas about the LSAT, law school admission, and any other matters related to the law school journey.

If you are interested, please send me a message to my inbox. I will direct you further. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

Would love any advice about how to strategically approach this application cycle. It's my first time so I'm a bit nervous. The goal is to get into a T14 to study technology law. I work full-time and am willing to wait until next cycle if a top school isn't in the cards for me.

My numbers:

  • 3.84 LSAC GPA from a top 40 undergrad with a STEM degree in cognitive science.
  • I took the LSAT for the first time in September and received a 169. PTs ranged 169-173.
  • I know admissions is mostly interested in the numbers, and I'm in between 25th and 50th percentile in both categories for the T14. My absolute dream would be to attend Northwestern (also applying to Georgetown, Duke, UVA, and Penn, still deciding on the rest). My question is - would it be better to apply Northwestern Early Decision with what I have now or retake the LSAT in November? Do I have even a slight shot?

    For more context, soft factors:

  • First-generation American and first-generation law student
  • 3 years full-time work experience (post-grad) in the digital advertising space. Completed 4 relevant internships during undergrad and am now in a Manager position. Resume includes several prestigious healthcare/pharma companies
  • Earned a data privacy law certification from IAPP (organization for privacy lawyers) by passing their exam, which is apparently a gold standard in that specialty and is mostly awarded only to practicing lawyers. AI Governance certification from the same organization is pending.
  • 3 letters of recommendation, two from professors (one of which was a research supervisor), one from a former manager
  • Two semesters each of undergraduate research and TA experience, helped to develop curriculum for a course
  • Leadership positions in several student organizations
  • Personal Statement about how I entered the digital marketing world after majoring in neuroscience and how data privacy concerns have led me to pursue law school
  • Diversity Statement about my identity as a Russian-speaking American (family from Ukraine) and being impacted by the situation in that region, how being first-gen motivated me to pursue law and why I believe it's an asset
  • Personalized Why X for nearly every school I'm applying to
  • Thank you all so much for even reading this :') appreciate your help!
