I'm going through the curriculum right now and I'm up to LR pseudo-sufficient questions. There were some lessons in which I felt sort of weak on (for example weakening questions), though I feel compelled to just keep going as I want to finish the curriculum in the allotted time I originally planned in my study schedule. How often should old lessons be reviewed? Should I drill down those lessons before going on? Or should I just keep going, finish the curriculum and then go back and review old lessons?

Hi,

I know for some people this question may have been easy, but I was really stumped between B and E because of the last sentence in the stimulus. I saw the last sentence as saying that the trait that determined why the trees had different lifespans was attributed to the trees rather than the species. As a result, I chose B.

I am kind of starting to see why E is right instead of B, but I am still kinda stuck on what exactly I did wrong in interpreting the stimulus. Can anyone explain to me their reasoning about what the last sentence actually meant and why E is right?

thanks!

Best regards

So I am just now starting logic games and I am somewhat confused on when I should be doing the full proof method. Is that something that should wait until I start to PT, or should I full proof the problem sets from the CC as well? I am completely new to the games, and as expected I struggled on the first sequencing games. I am still having some trouble understanding if I need to go back and do the game over again or not like the full proof method says to do. If so, am I supposed to full proof every single problem set game that I struggle with initially?

Is the reasoning flaw in the stimulus that it concludes what makes something not censorship from the sufficient condition for censorship?

If A or B, then Censorship exists.

From this, we cannot conclude that censorship does not exist.

Similarly, in (D),

If A, then heroic.

From this, we cannot conclude what's not heroic. A is a sufficient condition for being heroic, not its necessary condition. If it were the necessary condition, we have a way of concluing that something is NOT heroic. Is this all there is to see in this question?

Is there a method for identifying the ASQ in each Logic Game question set?

Does anyone know if we can take the Flex with the color inverted on our laptops? This is where the background is black and the words are white.

Did any Flex takers try this?

Is there anyone in Alabama studying for the LSAT? It's really hard to do this alone. Online support is fine, but I live in a small rural town and have been hoping to find someone within the state to help each other out with LSAT prep. So, anyone out there?

Hi everyone,

I took my first LSAT a few years ago and was hoping I could get some feedback on my writing sample. Don't hold back.

Well, I guess starting over is hard. I took the LSAT and had really bad result in November. I can attribute that to bad instruction that I hired tutor and being a lot of financial stress for the last 8 months. I turned 49 this past April. I decided that I need to change my whole approach and needed a change of scenery as well. I decided I need to change the way I thought. I was not getting any support from my mother who was rampant Trump supporter and was obsessed with politics. I just that I decided I cut myself away from it because it was going harm me from thinking clearly and logically.It was taking is toll on my mental well being. I decided that I could not be on either side if I want to think clearly and do it without the hyberbole of both sides. I decided that I wanted no part in politics. I wanted to make clean break from it. I was in deep debt from tax obligation from the IRS and Georgia Department of Revenue from an employer that did not pay the taxes and found out they changed my W-2s to exempt. I was fuming when I found out. I felt very upset and angry. I decided as soon I had the money that I was going pay off the 2600 owed both tax agencies that I could put it behind me.

I started to restudy for the LSAT in mid-January and try to clean up the mistake and not reading carefully in January. I decided that I was going to go a lot slower and really digest each part of the LSAT like itself section that needs to be done slowly and carefully. By mid-February, I saw my employment prospects dry up like well that was producing no water and was left. I had spent a good portion of my career in IT field roughly 25 years. I decided to head west to Texas where my job prospects were better and would give me an opportunity clear up my head and start fresh.

I left in Mid-March during the start of Coronavirus pandemic. I left on March 17th around 8 am and took I-20 route near Lithonia because I did not to drive on I-75 because driving on the highway with drivers in Atlanta was scary. I took the scenic route all until I was across the state line of Alabama. I got to Meridian, MS and stop to eat lunch at McDonalds. I had to eat in my car because the dining had been closed. I saw beginning of social distancing and the McDonald workers were wearing mask and gloves. I was hoping and praying that my car would make it all the way to Texas because it had issues where the brakes need be replaced. I was kind of scared. I made to Rayville, LA and stay at extended there. There was a Popeye's next door. You had to walk up to drive in because dining area inside was closed. It said so on the sign. I did take job in Dallas, TX to work remotely. I stood in the drive through for about 20 minutes and walked up to the window to order a 2-piece chicken dinner with French fries and Cajun rice. I drove to Dallas the next day. When I arrived at the extended stay, it was booked and found out my reservation had been cancelled because all of the flights from DFW airport were delay or cancel. I was panicking for a couple seconds.I almost could been homeless and felt staying my car was not an option. I decided to put it together. I found another extended stay in the good part of Dallas and was only one not booked up. I had bit of difficulty getting PO box with the post office in Dallas because everyone had take every PO box and everything was on backlogged for 6 months. I went a UP store and got one. It was hard. I started my job next day. It was rough for a bit. I tried to study the logical reasoning for 1 hour a night and build up a solid foundation.

Also, I had computer issues where the wifi didn't always connect and got it straighten out 3 days later.

Finding place to live was not the easiest thing to do. Most of the places required two pay stubs and didn't have enough to get an apartment. Most of the people were weird and didn't seem friendly at all. I had one that got mad because I didn't have a Facebook account and Twitter account. I said I didn't need one because I don't have anything interesting to say. I found about the lockdown and decided be cautious and keep the social distancing in place and wore a mask when I saw about a place. I looked online and found a room in really nice neighborhood. I rented room from this really nice African American lady who was really well off financially. She was 60 years old. I really needed a friend. She offered me a room, and I offer to pay the electricity. I said I want to be gracious as possible. I paid up rent up for the first 4 months after a month on the job. She said she had a daughter close my age. She started to treat me like I was her daughter. I was feeling better. Here is the thing. I was encourage to read books like classic literature by her. I starting reading Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, the Three Musketeers, King Solomon's Mines, Allan Quartermaine, Catcher in the Rye, Old Mice and Men, The outsiders, Marcus Arelious,I was reading non fiction books and Texas Monthly which is the Texas version of Atlantic and the Economist. I read about 13 books since Mid April. I didn't have tv. I found myself being encouraged to listen to classical music and jazz. Her encouraging me, it is opening new ways of thinking. I think I had receive more an education in my last couple months with reading than I did in last 10 years. I must admit was not I reader until I got to Dallas. I wanted grab all the books I what could grab onto and afford. I did manage to cut out all of the sweets and fast food. I want to eat healthier to lose weigh and did since mid April. What difference it makes in thinking clearer. I did manage to lose roughly 30 lbs. I got yesterday three Agatha Christie's novels. I was excited to get them. I end up taking drawing and starting getting really good and practiced every night to help loosen up a lot of stress. It had filled my sketch pad almost. The drawing getting better each day that I practice. I try to find pictures that make me happy or that seeing the person smiling.

I stay in the house and never venture out because I heard that Dallas Police department was harassing people with out of state plates. My car stay parked on the street for over a month. It had the issue where the door ajar light stay on. I took Uber to UPS store when I had mail on the weekends. I was not keen on going to the grocery store with virus rampaging. I order food from the Doordash.

I had paid off my tax debt mid- April. My old apartment near the Mall of Georgia had given me a lot trouble for the last 2 months. I was battling them to keep their word on paying back the security deposit. I found they like to get people evicted and make more money on the eviction than holding the lease. They hated me paying up my lease. They had deal going on the utilies with this company they work with and make utilities like water 2 months later, so they could ensnare you on that. I was on to them and paid them ahead. I just got my deposit back and won.

I had to save 3 paychecks to get my car fixed and it was fixed. It just passed the state inspection. A week ago I managed to get my Texas licenses plates and get my car registered.

I was studying for the LSAT with the PowerScore books for the LR and LG. The reading of books is helping and reading of Texas monthly. I purchase Manhattan reading comp and found it be more helpful than the PowerScore reading comp. The PowerScore reading bible seems to overthink things and makes things more complex. My end goal is become a felony prosecutor. I know this long post. I am studying and making much better progress. I can tell the difference vs the bad instruction I had received early on. I must profess that I do not know everything. However, I am always will to learn more and make friends. This is the beginning of my LSAT journey. I want to think like a lawyer as well. For me, it means learning to do a lot of listening and learning from others. I don't have a test date set yet. I figured I would get the reading comp straighten out first and start taking prep tests first once I have the reading comp lessons finished. I want to keep track of my progress. I am more of a turtle with the LSAT than the hare at this point.I keep about 40 tests as a good indicator and once I have proven that I can do it. I will set a test date then. This is end of my blog post studying during greatest pandemic. I am so grateful to my landlord and her generosity. I feel energized by her encouragement to think better and new ways of viewing the world. At the moment, she is my biggest cheerleader for me with the LSAT.

Im having trouble knowing when to include words like "H/T" in a space. What clues should I be paying attention in including a word/word?

hey guys! Is there any advice week of how to study? Should I still be doing sections everyday? Or just reviewing past PTs? I just dont want to burn out! I take the test sunday, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you :)

Can anyone help me out with this one? I ended up getting it right by process of elimination but I'm having trouble figuring out how to write it in conditional logic.

Thanks!

see above

Highly doubt anyone would have this info but what is the average distribution of questions based on level of difficulty per section. For example (average 3 level 5s on LR, or 80% level 3 or below on LR).

I didn’t see this information on any of the forums I’d scoured before my FLEX exam yesterday so I thought I’d share my misfortune in hopes someone else can avoid my fate.

If you have a Surface Pro with a detachable keyboard you’ll lose all keyboard functionality once ProctorU takes over your computer. I found this out the hard way when none of my highlight or underline tools worked during RC. You can use your finger, but you have to uncheck the tool before you scroll the screen with your finger otherwise it’ll highlight the entire passage.

Cost me 15 mins trying to get the proctor to pause my exam while we figured out the problem. Either plan on not highlighting/underlining anything, or borrow a different computer.

So I have been studying for a few mmonths and just finished the core curriculum and I was wondering whether I should use all of the preptests or not. I have considered that I may have to take the LSAT a second time and was wondering whether I should leave a few of the preptests in pristine condiditon for potential later studying? for people who have taken a second LSAT what did you do and what would you recomend in studying for the first one and potentially for a second one

Hello 7sagers!

I've recently started studying for the LSAT and with a low diagnostic score of 140, I have created a time - line for myself to study for at least 6 months - 1 year, in order to improve to a 170. I do realize that a 30 pt jump is incredibly rare, but I am the type of individual who has never been naturally talented, but rather was able to succeed because of my work - ethic. I ended high school with a 2.1 GPA and now towards the end of my undergraduate career, I've maintained a 4.0 GPA at my university, which I accredit to my work - ethic.

I wanted to reach out and ask the members of 7sage about how to approach preparing for the exam. I have purchased various course material that I want to use, but I do not know the best way in tackling the various LSAT prep material that I have compiled for myself. I am currently studying the LSAT Trainer and using the 8 - week plan listed on his website, which I plan to have finished by the end of this July. I also have purchased the PowerScore Bibles, as well as the 7sage course in order to help improve my score, but I do not know how to incorporate both of them into my study schedule, after completing the LSAT Trainer.

Beginning in August, I will be able to transition fully into the 7sage CC , after completing the LSAT trainer, but I also would like to complete the PowerScore Bibles as well. I wanted to know how to tackle the situation, since I plan on taking the LSAT in December as a flex, and taking it again next June to apply for the next cycle. I would truly appreciate any feedback provided and would be extremely grateful for the help that I receive!

*I also study for 25 - 30 hours a week, as it was recommended by anyone trying to seriously improve their score and take a day off to prevent burn out.

Hi,

I was really stuck between D and E because they both seemed textually correct (E is the correct answer). I thought D was textually correct because the passage really did seem to state that the front-back explanation was consistent with physicists' traditional explanations (since physicists have a "traditional desire" to separate the observer from the phenomenon, and question 25's correct answer C seems to confirm that a "traditional desire" translates into a "tendency" to give explanations like the front-back explanation). Can anyone explain why D is wrong?

thanks!

Best regards

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.

Looking for a study buddy to check-in with, review learned material and schedule practice tests as well. I am pretty early in CC but I will be focusing on completing by august. Please respond to post if interested!

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?

I am looking for someone to hold be accountable for the November LSAT and for me to do the same. I am hoping this is someone I can really use for advice, sounding board, and all things LSAT/Law School related. I promise to do the same, no one in my life is preparing for law school so this would be super helpful! Message me! Preferably a girl and my location is Austin, Tx, but I see this being more of an email/text thing.

Hey everyone, I've been noticing in PTs that my second LR section score is significantly lower than the first LR section. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you get past it? Unfortunately, I feel like I mentally check out by the time I get to the second LR section because I just want it to be over with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because it's really bringing my PT scores down.

I'm confused as to why we ruled out spent fuel rods on the basis that they never contain "significant" quantities of tellurium isotopes? In the first sentence of the stimulus, it just states that they found "radioactive isotopes of iodine, tellurium, and cesium" which doesn't mention the quantity so I'm confused as to why J.Y rules out fuel rods for that reason? There could be SOME tellurium, just not significant amount.

Hi,

So I am just really lost on why the right answer here was B instead of A. Can anyone explain why B is right and A is wrong?

When looking at the question, I focused primarily on the last two sentences of passage A (kinda treated those last two sentences as a LR question).

As a result, A looked like it weakened the argument passage A gives in these last two sentences because it created a reason for the phenomena (of rich people usually paying about the same under progressive tax as they would under flat tax) to be surprising (and thus less "unsurprising").

In addition, I just didn't see how B weakens the idea that this phenomena was "unsurprising", and as a result, I thought B was incorrect.

#HELP

Thanks!
