I just wanted to clarify when to use not both (F---->/C) vs a bi-conditional (F/C). My current understanding is that if the in/out game has only two categories, I should use the bi-conditional representation because it represents the only possibilities because the two variables, in this case "F&C", cannot be in or out together. Whereas I should use the not both representation when there are more more than two groups because while the variables do not have to be together, there are other categories that they will be able to go in.

Hi everyone! I am a little confused on this question, specifically on Answer Choice E.

Because it is a Pattern MOR Q, I broke down the logic in the stimulus too:

B -> D or J

D or J m-> QP

B probably QP

I represented the conclusion with probably because I believe it is important, as the question does not fully claim B must be QP.

Working through the wrong answers:

A: Incorrect, talks about Mercedes Identifying most trees, but that does not really fit with the structure we need

B: Incorrect, assumption required between creaking gate and hearing somebody break into house.

C: Incorrect, similar to our argument, but does not include most, and includes a negation our argument does not have

D : Correct: M -> L or K m-> MD Conclusion: M probably MD. Direct mimic of Q Argument

E: This is the one I am struggling with why its incorrect.

Laying out the logic for this one I have:

T -> D or S

D or S m-> CS

T probably CS

I know I am missing something, but all I see here is an argument that also mimics the Qs argument. Maybe because the conclusion comes first?

Thanks for the help!

    I’ve been doing some logic games in my head, the level doesn’t really bother me, but in/outs and sequencing are easier to do than grouping, I’ve been doing this out of laziness but also as mental test. Obvi I won’t be doing this on test day and be assured I’m good at splitting/representing rules. And for the most part I get these games perfect, but I’m not really sure how long they take me Bc I don’t time myself, some i finish rather quickly and some take me a while. I think it’s helping my short term memory and making me quicker w forming inferences, what do you guys think about this strategy should I keep going or maybe not?

    Hi!

    So I have a question that I could use some advice on. I have been prepping for the January LSAT for a couple months now, and a few weeks ago I was scoring fairly high/where I wanted to. Recently, using more recent practice tests, I have been scoring a little lower and seemingly plateauing around 169. I am not upset with this score of course, but just wonder if I could improve more for a later date. My main question is whether it is a better idea to just take it in January, see what I get, and potentially keep prepping for April or to put January off and just take April instead (February not an option). How does it look to send in multiple LSAT scores to law schools?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi guys, I am currently a 0L and will be starting law school in fall of 2021. I have been looking into the 7sage law school explained courses and was wondering if anyone can weigh in on the pros and cons of it? Additionally, do you find the courses helpful and what part of the course has been most helpful to you? I know it's a relatively new addition to 7sage so I wanted to get some feedback from actual students before signing up for the whole course so any thoughts would be appreciated. I just want to get my feet wet before diving into law school so I at least have a sense of what I'm getting myself into before 1L starts lolol

    Hi. I am taking the LSAT flex in about 3 months from now in June 2021. I am preparing to retake the LSAT again in either October 2021 or November 2021 if I do not score high enough for my first choice law school for which I will be applying there early decision for their part time program.

    I am preparing for the LSAT using numerous study methods including 7 Sage. I am located in Brooklyn Heights at NYC. I am looking for a study partner or study partners that can either meet up live in person or just want to do this over Zoom instead.

    Reply back with your contact information which is your email address, how are you studying for the LSAT, your current LSAT score, and top choice law school that you want to attend. Thanks!

    I'm waiting on my second LOR, and I have a few questions.

  • Is it worth it to wait if I already have one LOR submitted?

  • Is it possible/advisable to add the second LOR after I've submitted my application if/when the recommender finally comes through (lets assume it happens within a week or two of applying)?

    I find that I can overwhelm myself, when there is no reason to be overwhelmed, for questions dealing with a lot of different variables. They typically manifest in: studies consisting of numbers/percentages, rising/lowering of levels (usually these appear physiologically), etc.

    For instance, I took PT 89 and completely overwhelmed myself on 89.S4.Q23 (strengthening question about turmeric). In BR I was kicking myself because, had I stayed calm, organized and kept track of all the variables...I could have gotten it right!

    Do you have a different method of approach for stimuli where you feel there's 'a lot' going on?

    Hello All,

    If I want to create a few LR practice set, how should I break it down according to what the LSAT will be like? How many of each question type should I include?

    Thanks.

    Hi there, I'm wondering how to best approach taking simulated LSATs for the April exam. There will be 4 sections (LR, RC, LG, and one variable section) so when simulating the exams how should I account for that one variable section? Most 4 section tests on 7Sage have 2 LR sections and on test day there could be 2 LG/RC sections. Any advice would be appreciated!

    So I've noticed that the introduction of the reading comprehension portion of the course does a pretty good job of preparing you for scientific readings. They discuss Phenomena, Hypotheses, readjusting a hypothesis following the observation of a new set of phenomena that rests outside the previously discussed hypothesis, etc. etc. The whole approach allows me to follow the chronological order of the scientific process discussed in the passages with confidence.

    Do similar discussions exist for the other passage types like Law and Humanities? I am teasing out certain aspects on my own, like arguments and counterarguments often being in the law passages. But it's less direct than with the science passages. Any tips would be super appreciated!

    Hey everyone, so since my fall semester just came to a close, I am about to start serious LSAT study again. I am pretty stressed about it all though, because for about a year and a half I’ve been studying the CC and full proofing LG. I have gotten to the point where I’m pretty comfortable with LG, but it has been so long since I’ve done any LR or RC. I am just concerned that all of the studying I did previous to fool proofing has been for nothing, since I didn’t keep up with it very well while I was fool proofing. I wanted to start taking PTs over the winter break, but I’m unsure if I’m ready since I haven’t done much LR training while I was foolproofing. So I guess my question is, how important is consistency if I’ve already studied for so long? Should I go ahead and begin practice testing, or should I redo all of the CC on LR and RC, which initially took me about 6 months?
