If anyone needs help on LR let me know!

Hi,

I chose E, but the answer was A.

Here's supposedly why the answer is A: given that the question is asking for what would "most support the author's claim [on lines 24-27] about the relationship between muralism and the Mexican Revolution", people are treating this question as if the "claim about the relationship" is the statement on 26-27: that the muralists reflected important innovations in the art world (thus leading to the correct answer = answer choice A.

Here's why I chose E: I thought that a relationship had to be a connection between the Mexican Revolution and muralism, so I was focusing on the phrase that muralism was the result of changes that the Mexican Revolution represented (line 24-26). This led me to choose E, since this looked like the only answer choice that could possibly support a claim regarding the relationship between Muralism and Mexican Revolution.

In other words, I didn't agree with A's reasoning because the claim on 26-27 only talks about muralism and doesn't connect it with Mexican Revolution.

Can anybody explain how answer choice A was correct? How were we supposed to know that this claim regarding this relationship was that described on lines 26-27 rather than that described on 24-26?

Any #help would be appreciated!

PT30 Game 2

The six messages on an answering machine were each left by one of Fleure, Greta, Hildy, Liam, Pasquale, or Theodore...

Anyone know of similar games? This one cost me a perfect LG section... which was infuriating because it's so easy once you get it. Wanting to try a similar game fresh.

Hi,

Does anybody know why the answer here is not C? This passage is confusing the hell out of me

Admin note: minor title edit; for RC please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# (P#) - [brief description]"

I'm still confused as to how and why Jon's explanation in the video is used to express answer choice A is correct and answer choice C is wrong. I'm not following his logic in the video. Can somebody please explain this? Also there was a comment below the video that there are plenty of old LSAT questions with similar type of errors. I'm not sure, but can somebody point out those questions and the type of error? Thanks.

Hello 7Sage community,

I am working on my law school applications, and need to submit transcripts from every credit-bearing institution I've attended to LSAC CAS. The transcripts from the university I actually graduated from have already been processed, but I also need to include the organizations I received transfer credit from. Problem is, these organizations aren't listed in the dropdown menu under "Add Other Institution."

The site will not let me progress without selecting a school from the dropdown, and I see no option to manually input an institution's name.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Hi all. So I'm taking my LSAT next week and I've been scoring in the high 160's and low 170s on all my practice tests so far. Most of the time when I get a question wrong it's only because I read the question stem wrong. But since this is my first LSAT, I want to retake it in January just so I have one more try before applying to Law Schools. I've already started some of my applications.

The issue is that in January I'm getting a rhinoplasty procedure a couple of days before the LSAT. I know I can't push it to February because I want to apply to T-14 and T-20 schools and I feel like they wouldn't accept an LSAT as late as February, but I'm not sure.

Do you guys think my operation would have any impact on my performance on test day? It's a closed operation so I won't have stitches or anything. Is it worth the risk, or should I just take it in February instead. Ideally I would've postponed the procedure but it's been scheduled for months now and it would be too expensive to make changes at this point.

Or alternatively, I can take it in January and then once more in February, but how bad does 3 tries on the LSAT look?

I've been studying for this test properly for about a year now, meaning that I've been taking practice tests and blind reviewing them. I've been somewhat familiarizing myself with the LSAT material for about two years now but only last year did I start taking practice LSATs. I've taken 20-30 practice tests until now. I was feeling fairly confident until I took my last three LSATs, which are recent. I scored a 164 on two of them and a 163 on one of them. When I blind reviewed those exams my score went up anywhere from a 170 to a177. I'm aiming for one of the top 20 law schools and, therefore, my score of 164 won't cut it. What do you guys think I should do? and do you think that I could potentially achieve my BR score on a timed LSAT?

Thanks for your feedback.

Looking for a study buddy for June 2014 in Halifax, NS! Give me a shout if you're from there and want to study together!

The Question Bank is great!

Progressing through the PT phase, I was wondering if it is possible to have a Filter/Sort for the PT's that I have entered into Analytics to create problem sets to drill? Utilizing the problem sets within the curriculum was immensely helpful and I have created similar problem sets with PTs that I have taken. Curious if it could be easier to delineate which PTs to choose to create mini-drill sets and be able to maintain the integrity of fresh PTs?

Any advice appreciated to make it an easier process:)

(p.s. This post is in no way advocating for extensive drilling on a specific Question type - taking sections and being able to adapt as the questions are presented is paramount:)

Help me with my last 6 weeks study plan! (hopefully)

I’ll be taking Nov. 25th test, and I just restarted on taking PTs last week.

So far done 67, 69 and 73. And got 160, 169, 169 respectively.

These are the score breakdown:

PT 67 (actual -25 / BR -14)

LR (-7/-7)

LR (-7/-4)

LG (-2/-0)

RC (-9/-3)

PT 69 (actual -13 / BR -11)

LR (-5/-4)

LR (-3/-4)

LG (-0/-0)

RC (-5/-3)

PT 73 (actual -13 / BR -13)

LR (-3/-3)

LR (-4/-5)

LG (-0/-0)

RC (-6/-5)

I’ve been spending a lot of time on blind review. It used to take about 8 hours, and now it takes more like 20 hours. Thought they were supposed to go down. Anyways, I’m fine with that, but I just don’t know what I can do to eliminate overconfidence errors. Out of 10 circled question, I usually circle one or two that I actually get wrong. So there’s also under-confidence error, but I’m trying to fix oc first…

I’ve been thinking about reusing used PTs for drills.

Maybe do 1 fresh PT on Monday through Wednesday, and do 3 used PTs for Th, Fri, Sat? I won’t be doing BR as extensively for used PTs, and only do BR and missed question review. (think this would count as section drills?)

Or would it be better to just do 2 fresh PTs every week?

Is it my lack of understanding in foundations? I want to return to CC, but I don’t even know what I don’t know.

My BR score dropped thanks to overconfidence errors...urgh

And how should I BR RC? I'm reading the section untimed, do low-res/structure and watch videos and explanations right now.

Should I BR questions without re-reading the passages?

Hello All!

I am considering applying for accommodations based on severe panic attacks that I often get while testing (in addition to other situations). I have a few questions regarding the requirements:

Question 1: Do I need an official diagnosis?

My primary doctor has been treating my condition. She understands that I have General Anxiety and panic attacks, but she has never given me an official diagnosis. Instead, she just keeps refilling/monitoring my two prescriptions—one for the general anxiety and one for the acute panic attacks.

Do you think that I could get accommodations without a diagnosis based on a letter from my primary doctor supporting my request? Or, is an official diagnosis necessary?

If it helps, I also have a therapist who has been treating me and she has agreed to write a letter on my behalf.

Question 2: Is a diagnosis from a Psychiatrist better than a diagnosis from a Psychologist?

If I do end up needing an official diagnosis, does it matter whether I have one from a Psychologist VS a Psychiatrist? Do you think that either of them might be seen as more authoritative?

Thank you all in advance for any input!

BR GROUP NOTES:

Did some searching on the forums and couldn't find a clear cut answer on fool proofing.

For context - I am scheduled to take the JAN 2020 LSAT (may move it to FEB 2020).

I am currently just through the CC on LG, about to start RC. I am almost always able to solve the logic games with -0 or -1, however, time is almost always an issue. New games definitely take me longer than what JY recommends, but I can usually get them almost perfect with more time.

I took the SEP 2019 LSAT and scored 153 and went -11 on LG/AR, -10 on RC, and -18 on LR.

I feel that the core curriculum will definitely improve my LR scores - there was some basic concepts that I was missing that I think will enable me to improve there. At this point - does it make more sense to spend the time to start fool proofing AR/LG or to move on to RC? I went close to -10 on both, but understand the concepts behind LG well enough to solve them, albeit slowly.

Hi all,

I'm gearing up for the September 2014 test. Wondering if anyone in Orange County would like to meet up on weekdays after 6PM or on weekends.

Hello everyone!

I'm in my third year of undergrad and planning to do two more years to improve my gpa. I have never written the LSAT before and have registered for August 29 2020! I'm only taking one course this summer and thus, I thought it would be a good time to study for the LSAT The issue is, I have now(unfortunately) planned a routine for both (lSAT and the course) and I fear I don't have enough time to study for it. I also registered for August because I plan on taking 4/5 courses in the fall (although the LSAT date is during the fall break) and I was planning to register for 7sage to study for the lSAT on August 29. I'm conflicted between the two and was wondering which one is more beneficial?

Is it advisable to make a light hearted joke at the beginning of a personal statement? Something that draws the reader in and plays a part in the picture I'm trying to paint. I'm just not sure if it's advisable or not, but if anyone can chime in their two cents it would be appreciated.

This is the sentence for context: I vividly remember May 24th, 2014, partially because it was my mother’s birthday and I knew she wouldn’t let me live it down if I forgot it two years in a row, but mainly because it was the last day to submit courses....

Does anyone have any advice about when it is a good idea to log into their Proc U account on test day? Also, I heard someone say that we might have to turn on/off webcam mirroring? Your insight would be appreciated.

Is anyone looking to do a study group in Michigan? Either on Skype or in person? Let me know!

Question withdrawn.

The internal mic on my computer doesn't work. Does anyone know whether or not it'll be okay for me to use the mic on my earbuds to talk with the proctor, or do I need another kind of external mic that doesn't involve having earbuds in? Thanks!

yep, as expected, LG3 f-Ed me over. But it's ok because I didn't suck at the other sections. I'm also well within the median for my goal school. But yeah, Game3, how cruel a fate.

I’ve heard that the LSAT has gotten harder over the years to keep up with all the increased LSAT prep resources that are now available. My test scores seem to reflect that. I scored a 177 on PT 44 after only a week of studying logic games and another 177 on PT 52 after a month of going to an LSAT prep class. But on the recent PTs, 70 and up, my scores ranged from 170-174. I took the September LSAT (Saturday Observant) and scored a 173. Granted I haven’t put the time and effort into studying that I should have but I expected that I would be able to get close to my original score on PTs 44 and 52 especially after months of studying(albeit light). Any thoughts?

Is there a good method or trick to eliminate all possible worlds for distributions? I just completed a game and couldn't figure out if I exhausted all possible distributions or not. I usually guess for the most part.

thanks.

Hi,

I'm having a lot of trouble eliminating D on this question, and would love some help if possible! My reasoning:

D) Was the species to which the recently discovered [earlier] dinosaur [X] belonged related to T. rex?

If yes, and T. rex descended from X, this seems to strengthen the author's argument as it suggests that the T. rex features evolved in an earlier ancestor that evidently did not require them for its size. In this scenario the features would have just been passed down to the T. rex, offering an alternate explanation to the scientists' hypothesis and strengthening the author's argument.

If no, and the T. rex and X were unrelated, I feel like this would weaken the author's argument as it would make it difficult to compare the two dinosaurs. Even if X did not evolve these features to support its size, T. rex still may have and it's just a coincidence that they are similar. This would leave us back where we started as the author's evidence for calling the scientists' hypothesis into question is now irrelevant.

Any help clearing this up would be greatly appreciated, I've spent way too long on this question :P
