Hi, I am having a lot of problem with this passage. But especially with this first question. I got it wrong during timed and BR and considering I eliminated (E) immediately upon reading, I am convinced that I did not understand this passage, more specifically the main point of it. I selected (D) (after debating for a long time between (B) and (D) because it basically said the same thing, which I realize should have been a red flag) and the reason I did was that I was unsure as to what was more important in the passage: the connection between African American art and African Artisanship or African American art and it's connection with the Western World/history of America. I assumed it was the latter because although Artisanship was primarily the focus of the first 1/2 of the passage, I felt that the second half solely focused on how Porter's work was different from Locke because it put African American art work in the context of American art. This also continued on to the last paragraph where what Porter was working on was African American art's influence on Western Art in general. Where am I going wrong I am genuinely at lost.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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!

If you're interested, please DM me for the link to the open chatroom.

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,

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!

Has anyone used the LR Loophole as a study resource in addition to 7Sage? So far I am finding it helpful but I was curious how other 7Sage users have used this in combination with 7Sage.

Ignore. Made by mistake

Hello Everyone!

I am applying to Canadian law schools. I am planning on applying by November 1st as that is the deadline and I plan to write the LSAT in October. Here are some questions, please answer if you have experience:

Hi need some help here. JY mentioned that we should take a break between taking a practice test and doing a blind review but should we still do this for drills? I find that I'm too close to the questions to honestly blind review them after but don't want to stop my momentum (especially since I work full time and am studying whenever I can block time off in my schedule/weekends). Does anyone have tips for being efficient with studying and blind reviewing in a way that makes a true difference?

Greetings,

Are there any active study groups here in Boston? I would love to join and help insamuch as I am able. Thanks

Hey everyone, I am hoping y'all have some advice on how you go about reading comprehension on the digital LSAT. A lot of the CC teaches methods like a low res summary next to the paragraph and slashes indicating a switch in topic. Any recommendations on how to make the most out of your scratch paper for RC? I am currently struggling the most with RC and I am really eager to make improve. Any advice is appreciated!

We have, so far, five people including me joining the upcoming study session at Gangnam on Thursday, July 7 from 9 pm-11 pm. We can have around two more people if anyone else wants to join. We only meet offline because it is difficult to coordinate the time zone with other folks within 7Sage platform given that we are on the other side of the globe from the US and Canada. Participants in our group score ranges from mid 150 to early 170 official score wise. If anyone wants to join, feel free to send me a private message with a brief introduction.

Today i woke up to finish preptest 147, and noticed that the LR section i finished yesterday had only 3 questions marked as answered. So rather than retake the rest of the qs (which would take more time), i pulled up the answers on 7sage and filled them in using the answer key like i was cheating. The especially strange thing is that between my two takings of this LR section, i took a different LR from 146, and that was indeed not lost this morning. Has anyone else experiences such quirks with Lawhub losing data?
