Does anyone have any tips regarding familiarizing oneself with law passages (e.g., reading materials, websites)? When I am unfamiliar with a topic whether in RC or LR, I end up re-reading a lot even though I have a fair grasp on the logic. Any tips and tricks would be appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone would be willing to post the ways in which they go about tackling the LR section of the the LSAT. Thus far through my studies LR was always my best section naturally so I did not focus on it as much. However, now that I am trying to learn it I often times get stuck on choosing the best answer choice. The question types do not bog me down it is more so the stimulus often times confuse me with all of the extra details. I am open to suggestions, tips or even a study partner since I take the test in June.

Advice

I am in the sticky middle of my LSAT studying and need some advice. For context, I took a diagnostic in October 2021 got a 140, then I took the August LSAT '21 (148), then again in November '21 (152). I studied consistently from October up until November and am now picking up consistency until the August LSAT. I have been taking 1 pt a week and blind reviewing then reviewing it the day after. I seem to get stuck in the hard and harder LR questions and can't seem to fully grasp parallel flaw question types. I went through the entire CC once but maybe I should go through it again. I can't seem to get higher than 156 and break into the160's. Does anyone have any tips on what to do?

Hi all,

I picked the right answer but my prediction of the main point was quite different from the language of the credited choice.

My prediction: the origin of the scholars' nonpoetic emphasis was due to Milman Parry.

When I read the first paragraph, my attention was caught by this sentence "Something wsa driving scholars away from the actual work to peripheral issues" (Lines 14-15).

Could someone explain why the reason/origin of the nonpoetic emphasis is deemed as not a part in the main point?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!! I have been viewing all these posts here on 7Sage and saw really useful suggestions for my LSAT prep. I have scheduled April 2022 digital lsat, yet still I got my PT score average at 160 (only started prepping from February). My LR score raised from -15 to -3 ~ -5 now after I finished loophole (just skim through) and LSAT Trainer (another skim through) and Powerscore Bible LR. I am currently working on the Manhattan LG prep book and find it useful for my LG score boost. Just wondering is there anyone who has used the Manhattan LR book and raised score even after a relatively OK level (such as -3 to -5)? By the way, I am struggling at RC and still do not find a helpful prep book and haven't developed my own strategies for this section. Is there any suggestion? Thank you so much and hope everyone can kill this monster. : )

I don't know if this is common, but I have seen great improvements in logic games especially, now averaging around a minus 2, and similar (but not as extreme) increases in LR. Oddly enough though my RC has been dropping and I find myself more confused than ever.

I am hoping for advice on choosing what degree to finish undergrad. I’m a non traditional student, I just took the April LSAT and I have a few options for completing undergrad in a year in order to apply next year. I’m in Texas and a Bachelors degree is required. Does anyone know if a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science would be considered or if it would make me a ‘lesser’ candidate?

So Ive been taking preptests and I seem to be stuck getting -1/-5 on LR. ITS DRIVING ME INSANE. I cant seem to get a perfect score on this section and was wondering how some y'all are studying for LR or how you went about drastically reducing the number of LR questions you get wrong?

Hi fellow students! I'm a bit confused about the question listed above. I picked A, because I thought this would reconcile the issue with sample size. But the correct answer is C, and I don't really understand why... couldn't the percentages refer to different groups of people? So why would it matter that they're almost the same?

Hi,

I wanna discuss the approach to this question.

I picked the right answer but I spend too muhc time on this one.

When I first looked at it, because of "based on the passage", I thought this is not a inference type of question but more like an "strict evidence/text-referencing" question. Unfortunately to me, there is no direct explaination about what's the retributive nature, so I have to use my back-up plan, which is POE and I was left with B.

So my question is: which part of the question stem can lead us to think that this is a inference question? If you could share your approach on this question, I would very appreciate it!

Thanks.

I'm taking the January LSAT but already applied to all my schools, indicating on the apps that I'll be taking the future January LSAT (so presumably they're holding my application until the Jan. score comes in).

But in the hopefully avoidable event that my January LSAT score is lower than my present score and I decide to cancel it with score preview, will law schools automatically know that I cancelled my Jan. score and proceed with review or will they still hold my application, expecting Jan scores to come in? Am I supposed to update them that I cancelled my score or does LSAC send a report?

Hi Everyone!

I was wondering any of you guys had opinions as to the difficulty of the new flex tests? It seems like on all previous (non flex tests) there is one harder LR and a less hard LR section (proof in that 7Sage seems to rank one section as 2/5 and the other as 3/5), do the flex tests seem to have a middling difficulty in the one LR section? I haven't taken any of the actual flex tests yet.

Any opinions would be appreciated! I have been using the flex converter on my PT's now and I'm wondering how accurate the scores are.

Hi I took the April LSAT and got a 161. Much lower than my average Pt's. My last 5 PT average is 168.6 and my last 10 is a 166.8. If anybody wants free tutoring I'm offering it. This is would be my first time tutoring someone and also keep in mind I am still in the process of taking this exam. The reason I am doing this is because it would benefit me as well in explaining topics or AC's to someone. If interested lmk

Please also DM a short paragraph where you are in your study journey/ skills/ weaknesses/ how many PTs you have taken/ if you've finished the CC/ and anything else you'd think is important to state.

I'm really struggling to set up my game boards both quickly and in a manner that is helpful to solve the games. For example, I did PT 34, S4 today and could not for the life of me figure out how to set up the game board. Once I watched the explanation, it made total sense and it took me about :30 to answer each question.

Are there videos/tutorials I'm missing outside of these following lessons?:

Introduction to Logic Games & Sequencing Games

Sequencing Games with a Twist

Introduction to Grouping Games: The In-Out Games

Grouping Games

Grouping Games with a Chart

Grouping and Sequencing Games

Any other resources on learning how to set up game boards quickly and in a manner that actually helps the game would be much appreciated!

AC A is correct because even though No creative employes are at the company we can not conclude for that that there is not one creative person in that company that it's what AC A is giving us
