Hi everyone, quick question on which is the more accurate or more correct score to rely on after taking a Prep Test, specifically on 7Sage. I've been noticing that they give different numbers. For example, I recently took PT 80 and got -8 (93/101) for a score of 172. However, looking at the 7Sage Score Conversion Chart (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-score-percentile-conversion/), a -8 on PT 80 is a 170. According to the chart, a 172 would mean that I got -6.

Can anyone help explain this difference?

Thanks!

Hello, am I the only one that feels a lot of the explanation videos for the answers are very vague and don't explain why the answers are right most of the time?

Really struggle with Flaw questions... I know Flaw takes a big portion in LR. Any advice on how to master FLAW questions?

Hi! I am currently at a 156 average for the LSAT and I have the following questions regarding each seciton:

For logic games it is time, when I blind review I get it all correct but I really struggle in doing it all in the allotted time. I assume the best way to practice is by just doing it over and over again to get down on time? Does that make sense or has anyone else suffered the same issue and figured out a better way to do logic games quicker?

For Logical Reasoning I kind of struggle on just a random few ones each time -- So for those of you have increased LR what is the most effective way you find with studying for LR? Like should I just do all of the lessons or for time purposes are there one's you recommend over others? Should I do a bunch of practice? How many a day? Any advice would be so appreciated!!

And last for reading comprehension I am weirdly just so bad at these. I read everyday for my major so it really makes me sad that this is where I perform worst so really any advice on books or lessons or practice methods that most helped you I would really appreciate!!

Thank you so much in advance.

A is wrong because we cant say many old people as we dont know the definition of old for Rotelle. If she considers 60+ old or 80+ old.

B is wrong because it says people as old as Sims are the only those. There could be more people.

C is wrong as argument is not saying that some young people can effectively do its simply saying who cannot.

D is sounds more correct as Sim is to old to understand issue but anyone anyone younger them isnt too old.

E is wrong because Rotelle is not committed to saying what's required for young people to understand.

A is completely irrelevant and argument doesnt make that assumption

I chose B but its wrong since argument says that fertilizer use will be reduced, it doesnt say we dont have to use fertlizers anymore. If it had said that we dont need fertilizer then it would have been correct.

C is also attractive but it doesnt set the conncection between why the need for fertilizer will be reduced

D isnt relevant

E is correct because if E wasnt true then there would be no argument.

D must be false because stimulus says that brains of identical twins are genetically identical and its the differences in brain from which we can tell if a twin is Schizo

Can someone help me understand this logic? Why is D the right answer?

The theory of military deterrence was based on a simple psychological truth, that fear of retaliation makes a would-be aggressor nation hesitate before attacking and is often sufficient to deter it altogether from attacking. Clearly, then, to maintain military deterrence, a nation would have to be believed to have retaliatory power so great that a potential aggressor nation would have reason to think that it could not defend itself against such retaliation. If the statements above are true, which one of the following can be properly inferred?

A) A would-be aggressor nation can be deterred from attacking only if it has certain knowledge that it would be destroyed in retaliation by the country it attacks.

B) A nation will not attack another nation if it believes that its own retaliatory power surpasses that of the other nation.

C) One nation’s failing to attack another establishes that the nation that fails to attack believes that it could not withstand a retaliatory attack from the other nation.

D) it is in the interests of a nation that seeks deterrence and has unsurpassed military power to let potential aggressors against it become aware of its power of retaliatory attack.

E) Maintaining maximum deterrence from aggression by other nations requires that a nation maintain a retaliatory force greater than that of any other nation.

Hi Everyone!

I just completed the Logic Games lessons and now I'm ready to start drilling. I was wondering, how do you all approach drilling? Personally, I'm planning to do four games per day. Here's my routine: I tackle one drill, take a short break, and then watch the explanation. After that, I move on to the second drill, take another break, and watch the explanation. At the end of the day, I revisit both drills.

By the way, I have set the difficulty level of the drills to medium. Do you think that's the right level, or would you recommend a different difficulty?

Hello!

I'm having some trouble with Flaw questions, and am wondering if anyone has any advice/resource recommendations?

I'm pretty well versed with the many different kinds of logical fallacies. However, I'm weary of how the test makers describe the flaw in the reasoning. E.g. If the author commits a "straw man," I'm unsure how LSAC words/describes that mischaracterization in an AC. Of course, I know our language is complex, and that there are hundreds of different ways to say the same thing (so, how something is worded in one AC, can be worded a different way in another question's AC and mean the same thing)! I see AC's that say "the author takes for granted," "the author fails to consider," etc. and am wondering if anyone knows how to decipher what these different AC's even mean. If the "author takes for granted _____," I'm assuming that LSAC means the flaw is in what the author/argument said/did. If, on the other hand, "the author fails to consider _____," I'm assuming the flaw is something the author/argument didn't say/do.

Has anyone compiled a document with LSAC's different answer choices that best describe different flaws in the reasoning? I've found that sometimes with the explanation videos to flaw questions, the wrong AC's and how LSAC writes them, aren't always described generally/examples of what the wrong AC means aren't always given (e.g. LSAC means by this wording that the argument did this _____, but the argument did this ____, so this AC is wrong). Maybe I've overlooked the curriculum for information on this? I often really overthink these questions, and what the AC is trying to say, and need some #Help!!

For this question, I initially chose answer choice E because the background information really swept me up. My intuition told me that because the passage wrote about all of these other linguistic influences, the answer choice probably had something to do with that. However, upon BR, I ended up going with the correct answer choice A because the first sentence in the passage notes that the nature of English literature reflects... the English language. Thus it follows that the "origin of English," referring to the language, played a role in shaping English literature.

Hello everyone,

I've unfortunately been waitlisted at UBC and McGill this year. Does anyone have any advice or experience for writing letters of continued interest?

Thanks in advance :)

Anyone else struggling taking practice tests under timed conditions? I feel like seeing the timer gives me more anxiety and causes concentration issues. If someone has experienced this and has any tips to overcome this anxiety, let me know.

Hi everyone!

I am an upcoming senior at a university and will be graduating in a total of 2 years! Therefore, I was not able to declare my major yet, but am set to declare during winter break with my counselors; should I wait to apply until then, as my transcripts will reflect 'Undeclared,' or should I apply earlier and provide context that I am finishing my final requirement in the fall? Thank you for your time!!

Hi, do I qualify as a URM? I'm a first generation low income South Asian student. Also, is URM based solely on race/ethnicity or do economic factors play a role?

Any tips for someone who consistently has RC as their worst, avg 8 questions wrong?

Hello!

Across my last 15 PTs (50s - 80s) I consistently scored -1 to 0 on LG. I consider it by far my best section and can always rely on it to carry my score. However, on both the April and June LSATs, the last game completely destroyed me. I found myself guessing on 3+ problems, which I never do in any of my practice tests. It was not a time issue either; I had plenty of time during both tests yet could barely get past the game board setup stage since the questions felt so different from the PTs.

After the April test I practiced a ton of different games at all difficulties and had really high confidence going into June's test, only to be destroyed by the last game again. How can I prepare for LG for the August LSAT? I feel like I've done a billion games on 7Sage and consistently get -1 to 0 on all of them, yet when I get to the real thing it feels completely foreign.

Which LGs are similar to the April/June 5 star games?

Figured out

I am registered to take the Aug LSAT and been "prepping" since April. Today I took another full length test (3rd one so far), and scored a 159 which is my highest score yet and a 4 point increase from my first practice test that I took at the beginning of April. In that time, I have been focusing mostly on LGs with some LR (necessary assumptions, flaw, and POI mostly). The majority of my improvement came from LGs, went from went from 13 incorrect to 7 incorrect. My LR score has stayed consistent across all three practice tests (around 60% correct), and my RC score has decreased from 100% to around 80%.

My target score is 167. Does that sound realistic based on my current progress? or would ~163-5 be more attainable? Also, what area should I focus on most to generate the greatest score increase in the remaining study time that I have? One item of note, because of a change in more work schedule, I have ~10 more hours to study per week that I have had in the previous months. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there!

I'm looking for a study / accountability partner to study with, with a focus on reading comprehension, and also support one another with the other aspects of the LSAT, the application, and the stresses of the test.

I am averaging 161 and aiming for low 170s.

I live in Los Angeles (the valley) and would like to study or hold discussions over zoom mainly. I am open to in person as well. I'd really like to drill down on RC so ideally it would be with someone who also wants to master RC. Alternatively, I can pair with someone who is good at RC but needs help with LG. I am pretty good at LG and happy to help.

Shoot me a message if interested.

Just curious to know how the recent USSC decision on affirmative action will affect admission chances. For instance, would this be put into play for this admission cycle? Thanks!
