I'd like to discuss this question, as it seems there's no explanation available on 7sage. That should be rectified, as this is a very tricky and unconventional question which therefore warrants a thorough explanation.

In the mean time, I'll give it a shot:

The question stem here seems to be, "Which one of the answer choices will fully justify (or make must be true) one of the two question options, definitively?"

It's an odd question in that it doesn't ask you to justify approach A or approach B -- it instead asks you to identify a principle that will make EITHER ONE OF A or B must be true, whilst simultanouesly making either B or A must be false -- all based on the stimulus information.

So far as I can tell, (B) is the only one that does this with that level of certainty. It says that, based on the stim information available, the renovation was correct while the demolition camp was incorrect.

Unusual, difficult question.

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

I am currently three weeks into my study schedule only covering main conclusion and most strongly supported, (excluding the drills included in the study plan) do I start drilling after I'm done the curriculum? Do I start doing PTs after I'm done the curriculum? I have no test date and plan to just go with the wind, when I'm ready Ill take the test, I am in no rush but would like to know how I should attack studying.

Hi,

I'm looking for a dedicated and regular study partner. I want to be able to discuss tricky lsat problems with the partner during the prep and gain from each other's insights. Someone who knows the material well enough to discuss problems and can articulate their reasoning and thought process would be a fit.

My lsat score is 165 but I was PTing much higher in 170s. My target is 174+. RC brings my score down (-6/-9) negating any gains with LG (-0/-1). I'm focusing my efforts on improving RC/LR. I'd be interested to meet weekly for a few hours to discuss challenging issues and prep done during the week.

If interested, let me know and we'll set something up.

Hey ya'll, I'm a 170 scorer and I'm planning on taking the August (or September) LSAT, I was wondering if there'd be any high scorers out there like 176s that'd be willing to study with me and discuss logical reasoning questions?

They do say that it's also helpful for people who know their stuff to continuously articulate their thinking to others in order to solidify that knowledge :D and I can be a good listener. I found that I learn a lot more when I talk to people about my thinking and hear their input, so it'd be great if I could establish this with someone.

Thanks!

Looking to see if there are any other lgbt+ folks in EST who would be interested in a study buddy?

Last take for me was 164, and I’m shooting for 170. It’d be great to also meet folx with similar score goals, but not required.

PS: happy late pride!

Hey all!! Would anyone be interested in reviewing preptests via skype? As of now, I can complete at least two a week and my schedule is flexible. Thanks

Hi guys...I've been wanting to go to law School for years, but I have no motivation to take the LSAT...I took a LSAT Prep course and didn't find it to be of much help...do anyone have tips on how to study for the exam? I'm so ready to get it over with, but I don't know where to start regarding studying.

Would anyone be willing to email me their notes they have from the CC?

i am looking for a copy of this book if anyone is willing to part with theirs or have a pdf!

Hi everyone! I scored a 158 on the July LSAT with about a month of prep. I'm taking the September LSAT and am seeking a tutor to help bring me into the 160s, willing to pay, let me know if you can help :)

Hi guys, I found this online. I think it is helpful when sometimes there are LSAT vocab we don't understand

Danino has expressed dissatisfaction that many genetic studies have attributed the ‘spread of agriculture’ into the subcontinent to migrations. Just to be sure that no one thinks that the practice of agriculture is in the genes, I would like to point out that the spread of the technology of agriculture was associated with the movement of people; agriculturists who took the technology to new regions and taught it to the locals in the new region. Movement of people implies movement of genes. Some migrants ‘export’ their genes to a new region by taking spouses from the new region and producing children with them who stay in the new region. We can never be sure that the attribution of agriculture having been introduced to the Indian subcontinent by migrants is fully true. However, genetic data do support this model, especially of the spread of modern, organized agriculture.

Having said this, I must also emphasize, once again, that collection of more extensive data is always more helpful in understanding our past and of the spread of our inventions and innovations. A Y-chromosomal signature, haplogroup J, was shown to be associated with the spread of modern agriculture. This signature has its highest frequency in the Fertile Crescent region – the region comprising the present-day countries of Syria, Lebanon, Turkey – where the technology of modern agriculture was invented about 7,000–10,000 years ago. Collection of deeper data showed that this signature is quite heterogeneous and is composed of at least four sub-signatures, one of which – haplogroup J2b2 – is confined to the India–Pakistan region.

This sub-signature arose over 13,000 years ago and hence its introduction into India could not have been by migrants who introduced modern agriculture into India. We showed that the haplogroup J2b2 possibly arose in India, because the highest frequency of this haplogroup is found in India. We discovered multiple epicentres of this haplogroup in India and interestingly these epicentres neatly coincided with the seats of introduction of early forms of agriculture in India (as evidenced by the study of fossilized pollen grains by Fuller and his team). It is unlikely that haplogroup J arose independently multiple times in geographically separated places. It probably arose in an ancient population who had spread themselves in geographically separated regions and they invented rudimentary forms of agriculture independently in multiple geographical regions. However, it is notable that these early forms of agriculture remained largely confined to India and Pakistan region.

Question:

Danino believed that genetic studies, which “attributed the ‘spread of agriculture’ into the Indian subcontinent to migrations,” are:

1)incorrect because migrants did not introduce agriculture into the subcontinent.

true because it was indeed migrants who introduced agriculture into the subcontinent.

only partially correct as early forms of agriculture were indigenously developed in the subcontinent.

originally results of expert intuition but later validated by an improved ability to decipher evidence.

Need help in finding POV!

Correct Answer is 3 .

But I find AC 1 more suitable because 1st line of passage "Danino expressed dissatisfaction....."

Hey yall - I noticed a big discrepancy in my PT scores when grading my tests via the grader function on the 7sage app (from google play if that matters) vs when I use the actual website analytics page. The grader function usually shows a higher score than the analytics. Wondering if the grader function on the app is based off of old score conversions? or if my analytics page is not using the modern scaling (it says it does but not entirely sure)? Help! Thanks.

Hello, I usually drill 2 reading passages a day using the 7sage virtual tutor to pick. I am now done with all my clean passages but when I go to "particular tags" I still have 128 clean passages left. Does that mean I need to start picking from that only if I'm to read passages I haven't read? Why can't 7sage just give me any of those passages to take?

Thanks!

Hi all, I'm looking for a Skype study buddy that's already consistently scoring a 168+. My scores fluctuate from 166-168, but I was hoping someone with a higher score might be willing to be my study buddy to help me work through some of the tougher RC/LR questions and help get me to the next level and score higher. I know explaining/thinking through questions with someone else helps, so hopefully it'd be beneficial to both of us.

I'm planning on taking the June LSAT (Sept/October at the latest) and was hoping for a Skype chat like once a week on the weekends starting sometime this month, since I'm moving on to solely taking PTs (rather than reviewing course material) starting with PT 44. If anyone is willing, I'd be eternally grateful!! PM me if interested.

I have an average of a -6 RC and a -1 LR, plus -0 LG. What did you all do to get your RC so good? I haven't gotten a LG question wrong in a while RC on the other hand is a no go for me.

Hello everybody! Looking to start a study group/groupme for those planning to take the LSAT in 2023. Currently shooting for the upper 160's and hoping to take the test in February/April. After studying for only 2 months while working full time and only getting through one section of the LSAT, I've brought my score up from a 144 to a 152. Although it's not great yet, I personally believe it's possible to improve even more, especially with the help of others. I'll link the groupme below for anybody interested!

Hello all,

I have been intensely looking at the LG explanations for every game since the first LSAT until the most recent one. Is this the best approach to take to get a perfect score on the real test? I feel the upcoming test will largely be just different variables for the same type of game? I really enjoy the explanations that J.Y. gives

Also, I have been looking for Study Guides for the LR and RC. I incorporated the Reading Comp Memorization Method and that seems to be useful. I am trying to improve with LR and I listened to all video explanations for the June 2007 LSAT. Can anyone supply me with these study guides and any advice to improve in LR??

Really struggling to improve my RC section. I've been stuck at getting around 10 questions wrong each time. Any suggestions to break through this?

Hi guys,

After finishing the CC and taking a few practice tests, I decided that I'll need to slow down and first drill individual LR question types before diving into more full PTs. I've been using the question bank and doing individual questions timed then leaving one full 35 minute section of JUST that one problem type to do. Afterwards I review the questions. But I still find that I'm struggling and average -8 per section, section of just one problem type that is (which i feel like shouldn't be happening cause I literally did just so many of the SAME question type). I'm wondering how you guys went about this? How did you drill Q types for LR? What helped?

Thanks so much!

Hi,

Just looking for study buddies, in Winnipeg, MB, however in the CDT time also works or in Canada! I’m planning on taking the August LSAT

Hi all,

I never thought I would be asking about this on the 7Sage forum, but I figured I would since you all want to go to law school. Are there any jobs that require a college degree but no professional experience? Ideally those that relate to legal work. Also, if you all have any suggestions on where to look I would appreciate any direction.

Does anyone know how likely it is to get a experimental section as your first section of the LSAT? I am worried when I take it that I will be hit with an experimental section at the beginning, and this will knock off the rest of my test.

Hey all, currently my study and buddy and I Blind Review practice tests every Sunday afternoons, like 3:30 PM-ish PST, over Zoom. If you are planning on taking the April, June, August, or December test and also want to review with us, please let me know!
