With question 14, after I fulfill the condition of T testing G on the second day, why can't T test H on the second day as well? The rules tell us I can't have both Ts testing G (done). It doesn't say anything about a rider not testing on the 2nd day twice on different bicycles. Furthermore, what if I chose my set as "GFJH" instead of "FGHJ." Would I be violating any rule? It doesn't mention the bicycles being in order so why do I violate a rule if I decide to place T to test H on the second day. Thanks

In a nutshell, the developer says there is a country whose strict regulatory rules ban personal property holders from erecting buildings on their plot if any rarified animals in danger on the land. These rules render the existence of those animals a serious fiscal burden on them as their hands are tied businesswise. By virtue of those sacred beings, the proprietors feel reluctant about sheltering them and shielding them from harms. Therefore, endangered species would very likely not be jeopardized, if not better served, if the bureaucratic red tape is peeled off for good.

(A) is not the one we are looking for. Because the author is not mixed up between the absence of a condition or the presence of a condition that is no longer in effect which was designed to protect the endangered species from the outset but would be revoked on the assumption that its absence would not likely to harm them and a condition that would be obliged to avoid the endangerment of those rare species on the land.

B) is somewhat irrelevant. Above all, there is no morality-bound call or moral verdict grounded on fact-based assertions or accounts. In my opinion, a value judgment is like this: it is not ethical for humans to endanger those rarified species further by not protecting their subsistence. But this argument is the opposite of the developer's conclusion. Based on the factual grounds, he/she thinks one could go back on this duty because his assessment projects that this dispensation/waiver/relief does not likely harm those species. It rationalizes a claim based on the alleged facts without a value judgment.

(C) is the guy we have been searching for. This Mr. Right has it all. It, all of a sudden, somewhat irrationally, snubs any probability that even if some factors are prone to engender a presumed effect, they might be likely to beget more powerful countermanding/offsetting effects too. Then the final outcome could be more harm to those animals.

For instance, this suspension of the rule application might put those animals out of harm's way if those landowners just do not do anything about this roll-back except feeling happy about the exemption of the financial liability. However, what if there are other hyenas lurking around to capitalize on this repeal? They could be poachers eager to snare those animals to make money out of them. It could backfire on those animals which are be supposed to be protected in the absence of those rules.

(D) is a bit weird-do. No need to zoom in on those landowners to play a blame game. Those landowners could indeed enjoy the removal of regulatory rules in a different way than anticipated. For instance, once those regulations are rescinded, they decide to turn those animals into their cash cow to rake in dollars. Sure, it is possible. But it is not a flaw that is the most noticeable in his argument. The principal perp is his negligence about considering the side effects or backlash from the revocation esp. from the perspective of those animals meant to be protected by design. That was what his/her conclusion was about.

(E) is a total jerk and a typical A-hole wasting my time. This argument has no bearing on those landowners on whose tract no endangered species live.

hi there, i am still working through the CC and looking for a study partner. currently scoring at 163, but hoping to score 170 ia on the august test. is anyone interested in going through problem sets or blind reviewing together? pls comment or pm me! ᵕ꒳ᵕ-☆

Two years ago I had planned to apply to law schools (didn't end up applying because of my LSAT score & wanted to take some time off), and I had two recommenders submit letters through LSAC on my behalf. Now that I'm going through the process for applications again, how do I allow them to submit new letters? I've already tried deleting the old ones (can't do that) and adding each recommender again (also can't do that). Does anyone know what to do?

Is January 3rd 2020 too soon to plan to take the LSAT?

Hello everyone,

I have been studying the LSAT for the last year and have been working on my foundations. I began consistently PTing two months ago and my current stats are 160-165 for PTs and 170-179 for BR. My average PT score breakdown is -2 for LG, -6 for LR and -8 for RC. RC is by far my most volatile section. I want to spend the next few months closing the gap between my PT and BR score. I have a drilling schedule for LG. For those who have been in a similar situation, what helped you the most in bridging the gap? What are your recommendations for LR and RC specifically?

Thanks!

Hey everyone, while filling out my law school applications some are asking to list the volutneer worked we have done but theres a part that says hours/weeks im not sure how to fill out that section and when i tried inserting numbers it came up as invalid. does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

I have only taken a few PTs. I only have two weeks before my LSAT (I know, I am cramming and it is not ideal at all). Should I take the newest PTs then BR them? I would assume that it won't do me much good to take the oldest ones?

Realistically, I will probably only be able to get through 3-5 PTs between now and then.

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to get some more LR practice under my belt and hone in on my skills by tutoring. I have yet to master this section, but I have improved a good amount. When first starting out I started out averaging -13/-14 per LR section and have gotten that down to -4/-5! I'm looking to primarily tutor those early in their studying stage and have difficulty with concepts!

Hello everyone,

While the printable preptests and 7Sage's digital tester use line numbers when referencing sentences in RC questions, I noticed the digital preptests on LSAC's website don't use line numbers, and instead say stuff like "in the middle of the third paragraph". Can anyone confirm what those questions are like when taking the actual test? Also, are we able to check off the box to condense the RC passage on test day as well?

Hi!

I was watching the explanation for the in/out game referring to a group of people who can only be hired if they are interviewed for a position. In the explanation for the last question in the set, it mentions that the problem states at least 4 people are hired. However, I did not see that mentioned anywhere in the problem. Is it possible that there was an edit to the language or is there an inference that was not explained that I missed.

Just when I thought I was out for the logic games, J.Y pulled me back in! his explanations are so addictive. Having a masters in pure mathematics is even worst because I like this stuff.

Any advice besides reading more to improve in the reading comprehension section ? Structure, timing or types of questions?

So far I have been doing Bottom line but I have not seen much improvement.

Hi. Its been over a year since I first went through the LR part of the 7Sage Curriculum and I have taken time away from studying in the interim. I am going to take the LSAT again to try to up my score, as I've taken a few PTs recently and scored 2-5 points higher than I used to score, consistently - trying to get every last scholarship dollar available.

I've spent most of my time since resuming studying working on LGs, but recently as I've started to work on grouping and in/out LGs, I've realized that I need some help going back over translating words into logic language, especially when dealing with negations, negative, or double negatives. Could someone point me to where in the 7Sage Curiculum I could get a quick crash course on logic translations for "or", "not both", and just basic logic translations to get me back on track as quickly as possible. I'm hoping to get back on track rather quickly and knock this (hopefully) final attempt of the LSAT out of the park.

Took the august flex and not 100% sure how it went. I am back at school now for my senior year so work is adding up and havent touched any lsat stuff since the test on the 29th. Should i just wait till my score comes out to figure out if I need to take again or what.. really dont want to take again and i wont be able to study as much with school work soo not sure what to do

Is the LR section harder to improve on or RC? I do great on the games, not so much on either of those. I have 5 weeks before I take my 2nd LSAT test and need to bring my score up by at least 7 points....please any tried and true methods that would really help someone in a pinch or is it still just practice practice practice?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for the spreadsheet that was showcased during the LR skipping strategy webinar held by two former 7sagers (don’t have their usernames) a few months ago. I‘m not having any luck with finding the original thread.

I’m hoping someone was able to copy down the spreadsheet setup they used for tracking LR timing, confidence levels, and I believe the diminishing returns? It was a really cool and different way they used to track their progress besides just recording how much time was spent per question. I ended up not taking notes, expecting the webinar to be recorded and posted on 7sage somewhere so that’s my fault.

Anyway, I appreciate any help! Thanks everyone.

Does anyone have the same feeling?

I bombed every single LR section after PT70.

I find that LR questions after 70 allows more room for making subtle assumptions and hence the answer choices are not as clear as before. This is probably the reason why I got trapped more often.

Hi, I am an international student, and I am worried about my writing part. I can’t find any official writing questions that can be practiced. Are there any writing review materials or methods that you can recommend? Thank you.

I narrowed it down to (A) derisive condescension and (B) open dissatisfaction, and then picked (A) after referring back to the language about how Gilliam was "impatient" with strictly representational art. In retrospect, I can see how (A) connotes too strong of a sentiment; but I'm not sure what I could have gone back to or thought while solving under time to show that (A) is too strong and (B) is just right. Can anyone explain their thinking? TIA!

I just got my August Flex Score- 166! So happy about it and thanks so much to 7sage. However, I scored a 157 in June, should I write an addendum even if schools don't ask? Don't have that much of a reason for the jump other than just being really nervous for the June test and also studying more.

I didn't want to take the lsat-flex in August and I don't want to take it this January can't we all just mask up logical reasoning is my most reliable section ugh ugh ugh

(lol, I don't mean to be whiny in all fairness it is what it is hope ya'll are having a good day).

There was a post on getting a group together to study for/discuss the January test about a week ago, and a lot of people seemed interested- I got in contact with the OP and went ahead and started a GroupMe today, already a few have joined. Several people taking November as well so it's not necessarily just a January thing. Link to join is at the bottom of that post but I don't know if everyone will see it, so here it is:

So I took the July LSAT and did not do well...like 4 points before my average not well. I am signed up for the August LSAT and I’ve seen a decline in my scores over the past 2 weeks. I know this is all in my head and related to seeing that bad score, so I’m looking for advice on how to overcome this and possibly a tutor to work with in the next week to help with confidence, especially in reading comp. Anything is helpful. Thanks!
