For question 19 of section 3 on the october 2008 test, the stimulus reads: "Bureaucrat: The primary, constant goal of an ideal bureaucracy is to define and classify all possible problems and set out regulations regarding each eventuality. Also, an ideal bureaucracy provides an appeal procedure for any complaint. If a complaint reveals an unanticipated problem, the regulations are expanded to cover the new issue, and for this reason an ideal bureaucracy will have an ever-expanding system of regulations."

Answer choice A reads "An ideal bureaucracy will provide an appeal procedure for complaints even after it has defined and classified all possible problems and set out regulations regarding each eventuality."

In negating this answer choice, I believe that the clause "even after it has defined..." all the way to the end remains constant in both the answer choice and its negation. If this is the case, how does it not break the conclusion of the argument that "an ideal bureaucracy will have an ever-expanding system of regulations."?

I am anxious to see my LSAC GPA, the 7sage calculator shows a substantial increase because of my community college grades. This new GPA opens up doors that were otherwise closed. I don't want to get my hopes up until I see the academic report. I don't plan on applying until October 2024. All I have sent are my transcripts could I still purchase CAS??

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering on what's your approach on working through the Core Curriculum (CC) which includes some Practice Sets and then doing Extra Drills (making custom Drills on Problem Sets page). Specifically:

What is your weekly schedule like? While this is subjective, I am trying to understand what the balance of doing CC Topics, Practice Sets and extra Drills (if any) is for everyone.

Do you complete the week's assigned CC topics including all Problem Sets or leave some sets behind to come back say after finishing the CC?

When Doing the Problem sets after a CC topic (or even when doing extra Drills), what is your approach in regards to timing? I.E. Are you doing them in standard timing, or give yourself more time or do it in Untimed mode.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Few facts:

Taking the September test next week [remotely] and I have been doing all my studying using my monitor and magic trackpad, I know the monitor will have to go on test day, but I scoured LSAC and Prometric's websites to see if a bluetooth mouse is allowed or not, the interest seems to indicate its fine but most answers are a few years old, so I'm unclear if policies have changed with the times or the new proctoring server.

Any guidance would be super helpful!

Anyone who has done or is currently doing the admissions course with 7 Sage? if so, what are your experiences? Strengths? Weaknesses? Likes or Dislikes? Comments? I am specifically looking for help on my personal statement provided by the course. I am contemplating purchasing the $200 package with the full course and the one time edit. I would love any type of feedback before I am make my decision!

LSAT Party time, that is!

Hi all! I have been doing well with the concepts behind how to weaken an argument. Don't attack the premise or conclusion, rather thin out and weaken the support structure. However, I seem to get it on the first round but in my BR I end up falling for the trap answers and just changing my course of reasoning. Helppp!!! Any and all tips are welcome!

Hi! I am looking for a dedicated accountability partner or group that is aiming for the 160-170s and plans to take the Sep/Oct/Nov LSAT. I took a diagnostic in May and scored a 143 and I have been studying for about a month since then. Please reach out to me and I would love to get connected and come up with some sort of study plan and accountability check-in. I am also open to meet on zoom or google meet sometimes as well. I am located EST.

Hey everyone! I am hosting LR Kahoot tonight and LR jeopardy on Sunday night for anyone who wants to come join. We will also be hosting more in the future. Comment your discord and I'll add you to the group.

Okay guys, this is pretty much my dumb down version of explaining some formal logic based on my knowledge. I believe this is something that needs to be really understood in order to improve in logic games.

Example 1:

If A-> Not B

If B-> Not A -------> That implies that

*A can be alone

*B can be alone

*Both can be absent ( BUT YOU CAN NOT HAVE BOTH A AND B SELECTED!)

Example 2:

If Not A -> B

If Not B ->A ----------> That implies that

*If A is out, then B is in

*If B is out, then A is in

*Or both A and B can be in

THEY BOTH CAN NEVER BE ABSENT!!

Example 3:

If not A ->not B

If B ->A ------------> That implies that

* Both CAN be absent

*Both CAN be present

*A CAN be by itself

* B CANNOT! I REPEAT CANNOT be Alone!!!

Excuse the caps, the emphasis helps me remember haha...Please make any changes if I am wrong. But this is what I came across. When I finally had this written down, it made so much more sense to me.

I plan to apply to law schools in the fall of 2023. I don't plan to take the LSAT until the summer of 2023, but I've seen a lot of news on the past application cycle and this application cycle having large quantities of high-scoring applicants (thought to be because of the online version of the LSAT). In general, my question is this: Do many people take the LSAT then sit on their score and apply in later cycles? I ask because I wonder if this large quantity of high scorers will affect the difficulty of the 2023 application cycle.

PrepTest A - Section 1 - Question 21

I dont understand this question. I thought the flaw was making a generalization about one characteristic and placing the characteristic as a whole. Why isnt that right

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

If there are any groups, or individuals, interested, I am looking for a study group to join/start. I have been studying solo for a while and I am taking the upcoming August LSAT.

Again, if anyone is interested, just let me know.

Thank you!

Hi everybody! I wanted to see if anyone around the Tucson area would be interested in studying for the LSAT in June. I would prefer to study in-person; however, I'm fine doing it digitally too. So, if anyone is interested just put a comment below and can create a groupme.

Its not all that painful... Life in law school gets easier ;)

stimulus :

"There can be a known known only if theres a known unknown, but there can never be an unknown unknown without a known unknown. Thus, every unknown unknown which is known is actually a known unknown which is unknown."

the conclusion above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

the content of this question is inspired by the "Rumsfeld Matrix." What would be a sufficient assumption for this question? Is this a hard question or did you find it on the easier end of SA questions?

Hey everone, I just register for the in-person 7Sage course, anyone taking it?

Hello! Is there a Zoom link out there currently within the 7Sage community that allows people to join in whenever they want while taking PTs? I think it would be super helpful to practice this way as to ease my nerves on the day of the actual test (I've realized it distracts me to think someone is watching me take the test).

Thank you!

Looking to apply to UOFA and ASU.

Second to last LSATurday. *tear*

Note on all groups

Hello there! I am nearly done with my AA and going to be starting my BA soon (Note: I'm in my 30s, I work fulltime and go to school, so I'm going through my college journey later than most). I know I want to take the LSATs in my junior year during my BA, so will likely not be taking it for 2 to 2 and half years from now, but I am a horrible test taker so I feel more comfortable studying long term and as a result I would like to find/make a study group for those who want to long term study as well. At the moment I am reading/self-studying The LSAT Trainer (3rd edition), with the 10 Actuals Vol VI. I'm looking for either an etablished community, or to establish a community of people to study with for the next few years.

I know this is a wide range but due to the military I travel a lot in state.

If anyone is serious about studying for the LSAT please PM me!

Hello everyone! my name is Fatimah and I'm looking for a study buddy.
