Hello friends,

Just curious when doing practice Preptests, you can filter to Legacy which includes 4 sections or "Current" which only includes 3 sections. I plan on taking the June 2024 LSAT. As far as I understand, there is still an experimental section on the actual LSAT so for practicing purposes are you guys doing the "Legacy" method of all 4 sections? For those doing PT's with the "Current" of 3 sections, what reasons do y'all have?

So, I understand that the argument is saying that because incidences of the flu were lower during the 6 months of the public health campaign, that means that the campaign was effective.

I chose C - there were fewer large public gatherings than usual during the 6-month period.

But the explanation says that C is wrong because it doesn't address the effectiveness of the campaign, that A is correct because it suggests widespread compliance with the campaign's recommendations of handwashing.

But this doesn't make any sense to me because handwashing isn't the only recommendation of the campaign. Avoiding public places when experiencing flu symptoms is also a recommendation. And if there were fewer large gatherings during the 6 month period of the campaign, then wouldn't that indicate to the effectiveness of it?

The explanation argues that A speaks to the effectiveness of the campaign more than C does because food born illness rates were also low, but what if people were not necessarily washing their hands as a result of the public campaign? Maybe they work in restaurants, where handwashing is necessary. Maybe they work in schools where handwashing vital. And the argument says that the campaign recommended hand washing specifically for reducing the transmission of the flu, what if people were washing their hands to not get sick from food borne illnesses, and the decrease in the rate of the flu was just a by product, which would make it seem like the campaign worked, but it didn't necessarily?

If the public health campaign's purpose was to limit the spread of influenza, and part of the recommendation was to stay away from public places when experiencing symptoms, and during the time of the campaign, there weren't as many large public gatherings, and the rate of the flu decreased...

I mean, I know that C doesn't necessarily mean people heeded the campaign, but neither does A. So how is A more correct than C?

I'm livid because this frustrating! lol

Also, I crossed out A because the argument didn't say anything about food borne illnesses. I also got other questions wrong for doing the same thing... crossing out the right answer because it introduces something new. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong?

First of all, I'm very thankful this is my problem. It certainly was not a few months ago. I have been getting so close to perfect on LG sections each time I take, but I seem to get nervous and miss an inference every blue moon, leading to scores anywhere from -1/-3. How do I keep calm and make sure I'm not making stupid mistakes for June?

So, I can identify the conclusion and the support for the argument, but I'm having a hard time understanding the relationship between them. For some of the questions I can intuit the answer, even if the connection isn't clear, but for other questions, namely the ones that have a lot of background information, or more than one premise, or has two arguments, for example

city official: ....

police chief: ....

Once I identify the argument, I get stuck trying to make sense of what I'm looking at, and then I fail to understand the answer choices well enough to eliminate the wrong ones or recognize the right one. What usually happens is I get down to two answers, either the right one and the wrong one, or two wrong ones. For the latter, I cross out the right answer thinking it's wrong, and for the former, I choose the wrong answer even though the right one looks right but I don't understand why it's right.

I do go in and look at why I was wrong, and it usually makes sense, but it's like it's not sticking, and it's really frustrating to keep making the same mistake. For very question I get wrong on an LR section, at least one of them is from the assumption family.

I'm using Khan Academy to do drills, and for strengthen/weaken questions, I can't get less than 2 wrong, or even get the all right at the advanced level.

I really want to master this test. I'm aiming for a 165 at least, 170 at most, but I can't defeat these harder questions.

Can someone please help?

Hi I was curious if using indicator words was the best way to identify these or if there was another general way?

Is memorizing the words the only way to achieve this or is there a more general approach that can be taken?

Hey everyone! So I am consistently getting -2 or -3 for LR and LG, but RC is constantly -5 to -8... My scores are usually 165-167, but I know I could be in the 170's (my goal) if I fixed RC. Please give me any and every bit of advice you have. I have a lot of trouble focusing from time to time (think I might have undiagnosed ADHD... runs in my family and I have symptoms, but idk if it's genetic?) and I am usually good at reading but for some reason I keep running out of time and really struggling on the questions. TYIA :)

Hi all! Anyone else also working full-time while studying on the side? Looking for committed study buddies. Generally available post-6PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. Shoot me an email if interested!

I haven't taken the LSAT yet, well, actually I did but way back in 2005. But I'm retaking it in August to go back and finish my law degree.

Here's an acronym I find very effective when studying LR and RC. It's called RCA.

It stands for REVIEW-CORRECT-ABSORB

This process can be done on every LR question and RC passage. First, do the problem. Then watch JY's explanation. Review what JY says, then correct your wrong thinking (or reinforce your correct thinking). And then simply by listening to JY, you absorb the material. I bet you gain at least a 1 point advantage just by listening to JY, who is very good at his job.

It's really easy and effective, but it takes a lot of time. I hope it helps you!!

Study buddy and need help with logic games. Can anyone meet?

Hi,

I was hoping someone can provide me some guidance. I have taken four tests (101,102,103) and the modern 84. I cannot see all four tests in my analytic page. It either shows me 101,102,103 or just 84. Can I see all four at the same time?

Best,

Stiv Mucollari

Hello, I am planning out the rest of the two months left until the June LSAT with the games. My best scoring section is the games which will no longer be on the test in August, therefore, I am hoping to get a decent score so I don't have to retake it without the Game section. I have been trying to take the older tests but with the test coming up I want to plan for at least 2 PT a week and maybe the Newer tests.

I have completed the following: PT 47 to PT 52 , PT 59 to PT 71, PT 78, and PT 20.

I have not touched anything above 80 which I was thinking I start the last month. Is there a good way to plan what PT to take and which to save?

Let me know what you think I should do, what PTs to take, which ones to save for after June, etc. Any help is appreciated!

Hi! I am new here to 7Sage and wanted to ask about the Blind Review option for the drills. I'm not quite sure of the method I am supposed to do besides reviewing my answers before the answer results and would love some guidance on how best to use the Blind Review method for drills. Many thanks :)

Can I just study LSAT for the purpose of increasing my English levels?

Is anybody else way over time on there "set up target time" and way ahead on the "questions target time"? I feel like I'm alway about 3 minutes behind on the setup and 3-4 mins ahead on questions. Any advice to speed up my set up? I don't feel like I'm making an unreasonable amount of deductions. I feel like sometimes it just takes me a second to understand the game.

Will learning Logic Games help me understand logic better and do better on LR and RC?

Hello! Does someone have some insight on this problem?

I selected E. fails to consider that the individuals judging and disagreeing about works of art may be experts in making such judgements.

I chose this because it demonstrates an "objective" or at least standardized professional manner of reviewing art.

The correct answer is D. fails to consider that people who disagree about the artistic value of a given painting may be incorrectly applying the same evaluation criteria to that painting

Journalists often claim that their investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society by forcing the powerful to conform to the same standards of conduct as the less powerful. In reality, however, the tactic is detrimental to society. It makes public figures more concerned with mere appearances, and makes everyone else cynical about the character of their leaders.

The claim that journalistic investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society plays which one of the following roles in the argument?

I chose (A) It is a claim that the argument attempts to refute. However, the answer was (B) It mentions a justification that is sometimes offered for a practice that, the argument concludes, has undesirable consequences.

I think I understand why (A) is not the correct answer, but I am not entirely sure why. To my understanding, the paragraph can be split into 2 parts: one side states a claim that justifies investigating the private lives of political leaders, and the

other states the bad consequences. The second part does not outright refute what the Journalists are saying, so (A) cannot be the right answer.

Does my train of thought makes sense? And does anyone have any tricks/guidance on how to avoid making the same mistake in the future? All help is appreciated.

I accidentally submitted my LSAT writing before I had the chance to delete my notes (pros, cons, etc) and so now my notes are at the top and my actual essay is at the bottom of the submission ... what should I do????

Hello everyone I am new here and just starting my LSAT journey and plan on taking the September exam. I'm trying to customize a study schedule to guide me as I am completely lost on what my daily studying should consist of. I tried to put my study end date to August 31st with today as a start date for 30 hours a week, but it either changes my end date to May 31st or changes my hours from 30 to 10 every time I try to submit. Would anyone know why this may be?

I have never sat for the real exam before and really can't decide whether to take June or August. I just took 4 section PrepTest 42, and got a 168 actual with 176 on Blind Review. This is right around where my last 2 prep tests have been.

The breakdown was:

-4 on LG (I didn't get to the fourth game).

-3 on LR (felt good)

-1 on RC

-6 on LR (completely lost focus, spent 3+ minutes on some questions, and didn't make it to several questions)

7sagers, please help – what do you recommend? I'm not sure if I should cut my losses on LG and drop it and just study LR and RC for the August test, or if it's realistic to get to -0 between now and June. I will have much more time to study come summer.

Do I sign up for June? If so, what course of study do you recommend? My goal score is 170 minimum. I suspect I'll have to retake in August no matter what... My dream is an HLS score. Applying this coming fall.

I’m trying to study for the June LSAT (the last one with logic games) and I don’t know why, but my last two practice tests have been awful. A couple of weeks ago I was scoring decently and showing improvement, but I couldn’t even finish the last couple of tests. Yesterday I got so overwhelmed halfway through the first section that I threw in the towel, and today I made it through 3 sections but quit because I was literally shaking and couldn’t string two thoughts together. This has never happened before with any of the half-dozen practice tests I've done, so I was hoping that someone knew what was going on? Two weeks ago I was fine, but now I feel like my brain is moving at half its normal pace and the easiest logic/reasoning is beyond me.
