I picked the right answer. But I wanna extract as much as possible from this question.

I noticed a nuance in the question stem "an element of". But how this is different from the ordinary question stem which simply ask what the author's attitude is best expressed?

I feel the correct answer would still be credit nicely even tho the question stem has no "an element of". But, given the sneakiness of the test maker, I believe there is something I missed.

Any insights? Thanks for your time.

I saw a question on 90.1.16 that states "Which one of the following is a central purpose according to both passages?"

One answer choice reads "To trace the historical development of an important idea"

Could anyone point me to a specific passage for which this answer is applicable?

Thanks!

Hi everyone. I finished the CC and wrote a brand new diagnostic. My first diagnostic score was at a 148, and 155 Blind Review in the beginning of the curriculum. The new diagnostic I just wrote had a 153 and a 165 blind review. I wrote both exams using the "simulate modern LSAT" option.

Should I not click "simulate modern" and write the extra LR section? I decided to not do so because I was thinking that I could use the extra questions for drilling and didn't want to waste them.

Moving forwards, should I focus on drilling sections of the exam that I am the weakest on, including the question types that I suck at BEFORE deciding to write more PT's? Or should I weave some sessions for drilling inbetween days where I PT?

My analytics are: -11 RC, -9 LR, -6 LG

Thank you!

I would like to discuss the LSAT maker's rationale under this question and its corresponding sentence (in line 30-31).

It seems obvious that in line 30-31 the reduced clause--"considered by programmers to be unimportant."--is to make the correct answer of Q4 more reasonable and obvious for test-takers.

But it looks to me that (E) still makes sense even if the reduced clause is scratched off.

If so, then what is the test maker's purpose to add the reduced clause? I would find it very surprising if the only purpose is to give us a head-up that soundtrack referred to in line 30 is intentionally emphasized.

How do you think? Any insights or comments would be very appreciated.

thanks.

Hello there! I am nearly done with my AA and going to be starting my BA soon (Note: I'm in my 30s, I work fulltime and go to school, so I'm going through my college journey later than most). I know I want to take the LSATs in my junior year during my BA, so will likely not be taking it for 2 to 2 and half years from now, but I am a horrible test taker so I feel more comfortable studying long term and as a result I would like to find/make a study group for those who want to long term study as well. At the moment I am reading/self-studying The LSAT Trainer (3rd edition), with the 10 Actuals Vol VI. I'm looking for either an etablished community, or to establish a community of people to study with for the next few years.

Hi everybody! I wanted to see if anyone around the Tucson area would be interested in studying for the LSAT in June. I would prefer to study in-person; however, I'm fine doing it digitally too. So, if anyone is interested just put a comment below and can create a groupme.

I plan to apply to law schools in the fall of 2023. I don't plan to take the LSAT until the summer of 2023, but I've seen a lot of news on the past application cycle and this application cycle having large quantities of high-scoring applicants (thought to be because of the online version of the LSAT). In general, my question is this: Do many people take the LSAT then sit on their score and apply in later cycles? I ask because I wonder if this large quantity of high scorers will affect the difficulty of the 2023 application cycle.

Hi! I am looking for a dedicated accountability partner or group that is aiming for the 160-170s and plans to take the Sep/Oct/Nov LSAT. I took a diagnostic in May and scored a 143 and I have been studying for about a month since then. Please reach out to me and I would love to get connected and come up with some sort of study plan and accountability check-in. I am also open to meet on zoom or google meet sometimes as well. I am located EST.

Anyone who has done or is currently doing the admissions course with 7 Sage? if so, what are your experiences? Strengths? Weaknesses? Likes or Dislikes? Comments? I am specifically looking for help on my personal statement provided by the course. I am contemplating purchasing the $200 package with the full course and the one time edit. I would love any type of feedback before I am make my decision!

So I've noticed that the introduction of the reading comprehension portion of the course does a pretty good job of preparing you for scientific readings. They discuss Phenomena, Hypotheses, readjusting a hypothesis following the observation of a new set of phenomena that rests outside the previously discussed hypothesis, etc. etc. The whole approach allows me to follow the chronological order of the scientific process discussed in the passages with confidence.

Do similar discussions exist for the other passage types like Law and Humanities? I am teasing out certain aspects on my own, like arguments and counterarguments often being in the law passages. But it's less direct than with the science passages. Any tips would be super appreciated!

Hi there, I'm wondering how to best approach taking simulated LSATs for the April exam. There will be 4 sections (LR, RC, LG, and one variable section) so when simulating the exams how should I account for that one variable section? Most 4 section tests on 7Sage have 2 LR sections and on test day there could be 2 LG/RC sections. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello All,

If I want to create a few LR practice set, how should I break it down according to what the LSAT will be like? How many of each question type should I include?

Thanks.

I find that I can overwhelm myself, when there is no reason to be overwhelmed, for questions dealing with a lot of different variables. They typically manifest in: studies consisting of numbers/percentages, rising/lowering of levels (usually these appear physiologically), etc.

For instance, I took PT 89 and completely overwhelmed myself on 89.S4.Q23 (strengthening question about turmeric). In BR I was kicking myself because, had I stayed calm, organized and kept track of all the variables...I could have gotten it right!

Do you have a different method of approach for stimuli where you feel there's 'a lot' going on?

I'm waiting on my second LOR, and I have a few questions.

  • Is it worth it to wait if I already have one LOR submitted?

  • Is it possible/advisable to add the second LOR after I've submitted my application if/when the recommender finally comes through (lets assume it happens within a week or two of applying)?
