Very interesting question. Chose C like a moron cuz I was thinking hmmm how would irritation in the lungs and pollen has anything to do with death? No way people die to pollen allergy?
AC A is the correct one. The fact that population increased does not mean anything to the argument. I can't even identify the trap here and my theories are that first, it is trying to trick the taker by hinting at that the death rate rose was just due to the population increase instead of the inhaler. But death rate has already taken into account of total population, so if death rate rose, the total urban population doesn't matter: it simply means that the percentage of ppl within a given population dying to asthma has increased. My second theory is that the test writers want to make test takers mistaken "population" as "pollution," but idk.
AC B is a direct reference to the part where the question stem mentions that the ability to count asthma patients has not improved. AC B bolsters that part of the argument, making it more likely that there is something else other than the increased accuracy of data collection.

Hi all,
I am looking to form a study group with people who want to improve on the hardest passages in the test. Prerequisite is scoring at least -6 per section on RC. The plan is to start next week on Friday 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM eastern standardized time to discuss 4 passages that I pick. If you are interested DM me.
Hi everyone (mainly @ tutors),
I'm currently looking for a tutor primarily for mastering LR and RC. If you're an approved and vetted tutor from 7Sage and have space for a student, please DM / comment!
Any tips for MSS/Inference questions for RC please.
Especially, when there is a Passage A and Passage B.
Thank you.
I see that the conclusion is based on a resolve the paradox.
But I find that unfair for a MC question because resolving something does not make it the conclusion of a paragraph.
Example:
If I make a paragraph on what really went down on Roswell, the point is asking all the crazy thing. The main summary would be “something weird happened that caused people to look into”.
If I give explanations (aliens, CIA, time travelers, big foot) that doesn’t justify it to say that’s the conclusion. I would say “ummm no, this just means reasons for what is it”. Reasons for what? The mystery (HENCE THE CONCLUSION)
Are resolving paradox's conclusions now for modern LSAT?
Hello, I'm struggling with understanding Hybrid games. I have a solid foundation on ordering and grouping but for some reason hybrid is tough. Are there any tutors that specialize in Hybrid games?
A couple of us are getting together to do a BR session of PT 37 on Saturday. We are planning to take the test and not look at the answers and do the BR together. If you are interested, dm me and I will send you the discord link because that is where we are having the session :)
Hey everyone!
In conditional-heavy games, when a question stem introduces a new temporary conditional, I have trouble linking this to the master chain, especially if it's already completed.
Anyone know any good video lessons or resources that could help me out with this?
Thanks!
Hello Guys
As you see, I am looking for a study peer who can be committed to preparing for LSAT Nov in logic games, and I am willing to PAY for him/her towards working together. If you are scoring 160 and above and interested, please message me in private.
I know this is a very basic necessary/sufficient question but could someone validate the way I diagramed the logic?
Stim:
Professor: both O parents --> only O child
Student: not [both O parents --> only O child], but the student switched the professor's statement around to mean [only O child --> both O parents]. So given his logic, /both O parents --> /only O child (since he's Type B).
ACs:
A) only O child --> both O parents
B) both O parents --> /type B child
C) both B parents --> only O children
D) irrelevant
E) both B parents --> type B children

Hi ... I need more practice with labeling. Where can I get more problem since I have gone thru the 4 problem sets.
For those who have paper-and-pencil accommodations...do the exams come stapled or as separately unattached pages? Can someone please briefly describe the process of this format without violating security policies? I am simply trying to get a feel for what to expect on test day as well as recreating test conditions as accurately as possible while taking PTs. Thank you for any information shared.
why is answer choice C wrong?

I understand that [All] statements negate to a [Some, Not] statement
(All cats are pretentious) negates to (Some cats are not pretentious)
Following this, [Some] statements negate to [None]
(Some cats are pretentious) negates to (No cats are pretentious)
The question I am seeking clarification on is for negating [Some, Not] statements; does [Some, Not] negate back to [All]?
(Some dogs are not brave) negates to (All dogs are brave)?
Thank you for the help.
Have honestly found very little info on this. Can anyone explain how it works? Thanks
Hello! I'm currently working on my weak points of the LSAT and I am Drilling Single/Comparative passages. In anyone's experience with taking the LSAT already, how many passages would you recommend drilling per day? I am doing about 6-7 but i am not sure if that's too much. Any information would be appreciated!
Hi everyone,
I am wondering if anyone has a helpful review that I can use for the "some/most/all" relationships.
Good example of this would be PT 33, Sec 3, Q 8.
First discussion post!
Every single one of my jobs on my resume is intermittent employment. I was an actor and needed jobs that were flexible. My question is, how do I fill out the hours per week section? Jobs ranged from 0-50 hours a week depending on who needed work and my own availability. Is it bad to leave that section blank on the employment section? It looks too cluttered to add (0-xx hours a week) on all the jobs on my resume.
Has anyone found a good solution to this?
Can anyone please help explain this question? very confused..
My thought:
C and S are required to leave their respective stations immediately to pursue any prisoner who attempts to escape.
prisoner escape --> leave
unless they are pursuing such a prisoner, C and S are forbidden to leave until their replacements have arrived.
leave --> replacement arrived or pursue prisoner ??? is that correct?
On 9-11pm, when they finished shifts and replacement arrived, it was discovered that C had violated these rules and S has not.
Pick could be true except:
A prisoner attempted to escape at 7pm, neither C or S left his or her station before 9pm.
Why is this the correct answer?
All the answer choices don't really make any sense to me. Not sure how to apply because the one person violate the other one did not situation completely threw me off...
Please help! Thank you!!!!
Hi,
My master program from Europe is still online due to Covid. The staffs are work remotely now. They told me they couldn't ship the paper transcript but they are able to send the transcript thorough email.
Does anyone know whether LSAC still accept email transcript?
Thank you so much!
So I graduated from undergrad a semester early. I finished my last classes, finals, etc., in December 2020, however, the conferral date on my diploma is listed as January 31st 2021. Under the education section of some applications it asks for start date, end date, and degree date. Should I list my end date as Dec 2020? Or list both end date and degree date as Jan 2021 as to not be confusing? Other applications ask for dates attended and degree date, so same question for that. Thank you in advance for any insight!
Hi everyone! I will be taking the October test as my second attempt, and while I know things are pretty set in stone at this point, I was wondering if there were any last minute quick strategies people had to share? My LR has been hovering around the -6/-8 range for tests in the 80s and I would love to get that down to -5!
Hi everyone,
When I first started LR was my biggest strength but it has really taken a dip in terms of consistency. Does anyone have advice for staying consistent in the LR section? I've been taking more older PT's, could that be contributing? Thank you.
Hi everyone,
I'm really struggling with parallel, parallel flaw, and weakening arguments. It started out as my strongest areas but has plummeted as I am actually trying to figure out the methods and not base it on intuition. Doesn't nearly every single argument have a flaw? Like with an analogy I can always just say "relationship between X and Y isn't similar enough to Y and Z to be compared". It's just so frustrating that the test makers are setting the parameters for whether I'm looking for a flaw or saying some absolutely bizarre, nonsensical, but technically sound (?) argument is actually one that I'm looking for a parallel for. Thank you so much for taking the time to help!
I am having problem with LR, If anyone wants to get together to study for it. I would appreciate it.
