[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user:]

Can you go through and explain I am really confused I think PT 1 S3 Q07 has answer mistake.

The last sentence says that there is more male duck in the old duck ration compared to young duck ration with the female duck, which means more male in OD: FD compared to YD:FD.

After stating that they are saying that NOW we can infer that if there is more disparity b/w two sexes M: F the more the adult male ducks will be.

it is like saying that there are two liquids A AND B in both A and B there are three components 1,2, 4

( 1,2 both belong to the same group so lets say 1+2=3 )

now they have given us a ratio of 3:4 for both A and B and said that 3 is more in quantity than 4

but we know 3 has two components 1, 2 and they have also given us quantity comparison of 1,2,4 they are saying 1 has less quantity gap with 4 means if we add 1 into one flask and 4 into another flask they will look filled nearly the same, but if we compare 2 and 4 in quantity 2 is much more than 4

now they are saying we can use this for all so whenever 3 increases 2 will increase in greater proportion than 1 because the ratio of 2 is more compared to 4 means there are many 2 compared to 4 than there are 1 compared to 4,

A/B= west/east

1=young male 2 =old male 3=1+2 (all male)

4= total female

For the questions that ask: "The argument's REASONING is flawed because...", would the right answer choice explain why the support structure is flawed?

Alternatively, for questions that ask: "The argument is flawed because...", would the right answer choice explain why the conclusion is flawed?

Need help clarifying

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows when the August '24 LSAT test dates will be posted or if there would an august one available?

Hello all!

I am looking to start a LSAT study/discord group where we can have set times to meet and discuss certain topics (conditional statements, LR questions types, etc), strategies, as well as review PTs.

I am PST and am hoping for something either evenings or Sundays. Time has yet TBD.

My hope is that I can gather enough people to sort of allow more groups to splinter off, just so there are times that can work for everyone--maybe a group Monday evenings from 6-8p; then a group Sunday 12-2p, or something of the sort.

A little about me: I work part-time and am working my way up through PTs. I'm around the early 20's currently. I have availability at strange times in the afternoon and usually during the evening, as well as on Sunday. I am aiming for 180. It'd be cool to get other like-minded people to gather.

Since the LSAT is all about critical reading skills and tenacity, I am only looking to work with serious minded learners who are committed to participating in an enriching study group. That being said, please PM to ask for the discord link. Commenting on this post will not suffice! Yes, lol, this is a real "did you read the syllabus" moment. But again, I will gladly send a discord link to those who PM me!

Thank you and good luck!

I have the upgraded course where I receive two free 30 minute on demand tutoring sessions but I do not know how to schedule these sessions. Any help?

I was wondering how I should attack/understand this question?

It asks if it discusses the relationship between the reliability and one of the AC's. What does relationship mean in this case? Is the question asking if the passage mentions some sort of a connection between the reliability and one of the answer choices?

Thank you.

👥 Study Group Name: Let's Kick A

🔢 I'm currently scoring: 176

📆 My planned test date: January 2024

📈 To study, I have been: drilling drilling and drilling

🔑 My goals for this group are: I learn best by teaching rather than listening so I want to teach others the concepts so I know that I understand them. It would be cool to have a small group so we can learn from eachother.

🔍 We'll focus on: Logical Reasoning

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: I live in Paris so am on CET, but can meet pretty much anytime. Zoom or Google Meet.

✅ How to join: PM me here on 7sage.

Would someone be able to explain to me why C is incorrect?

How should I review PT 94? How is everyone else approaching using this exam to study?

Last summer I did 7sage practice for the LSAT and finished the curriculum, however, I didn't do enough practice tests to be confident to take the LSAT that summer. Now, I'm planning on taking it in June, however, I stopped studying over the last semester because school was pretty busy. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips to get back into it because at this point, since its been around 3-4 months since I've even looked at LSAT stuff, I don't fully remember the stuff taught in the lessons before. I also don't want to go back and spend time on content review... but I also don't want to drill questions and PTs without having the strategies in my head to do better. Any tips to overcoming this dilemma lol...? I should note that I spent more time than I should've on content review in the summer so I honestly don't have as much practice applying the lessons taught in testing conditions or even in drilling (I know I was dumb for this lol)

Hi, I'm a new starter for LSAT - having read the Trainer, and started the courses and drills on 7Sage about a week ago.

I am a bit frustrated by the time pressure, cuz every guidebook tells you to complete certain steps when solving the questions, e.g. read the stem, stimulus, and the answers, then anticipate, eliminate and confirm the right answer, etc. But, however willing I am to complete all these steps, there's simply not enough time for me even just to read everything, not to mention the reasoning process, with RC especially so.

I'm not sure if this is the same for every new beginner, or more challenging for me as a non-native speaker - my job is an interpreter and I'm doing okay, so I would assume my language skills are not the biggest problem.

Are there any tips for me to increase my speed, the reading speed and the overall speed? Is such frustration over time pressure a common process for any new starter? How do you overcome it or improve on it please?

Please help!!! Many many thanks!

Can someone help me understand how we can infer [A]? It says that officers deviating from cognitive interview techniques is problematic because it might make the cognitive interview less effective. I eliminated it because although the author suggests that officers deviating from the cognitive interview techniques is problematic, they doesn't say why it's problematic. And then the answer choice infers that it's problematic because of decreased effectiveness. I eliminated it because we don't know if that's the reason... it could be problematic for other reasons.

How is it an acceptable inference?

for the people who have gone through cc already/ high accumlative score::

when tackling the lessons in cc, what would be the best approach with the games provided as examples. Would it be best to:

try the questions on your own THAN watch through the explanation videos;

work through them simultaneously (doing it at the same time);

or work game one simultaneously, then for the other games in that type try the questions on your own THAN watch through the explanation videos

i literally just downloaded this for specifically lg and a little bit lost in regards of what method is most rewarding, i am a very visual learner, however i am severely stubborn and insist on always teaching myself material and since i was a kid in gymnastics, have a very hard time - refuse almost, i reject it - allowing others to teach me. but doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, just like einstien said is insanity. ive already done the whole lsat trainer book, when practicing games i rarely miss more than three, but i develop extreme methodological issues when i dont know what the "correct" first step is or if its not being assigned. i have no methods for games rn besides the game board which i feel as thought i am as close as you can get in "mastering" them. even with my my time on exam day, the time i spend wondering how i should start my approach, etc, is where majority of my seconds go.

so swallowing my pride and forcing myself to allow help, which i am doing good so far and havent ran into any rejecting but i am now stuck in a block for the past hours, bc adhd and not knowing the correct first step for a task makes me feel like im walking through cobwebs in minecraft, getting no where. without knowing the correct step to take - however i know in this instance there is no right answer and it is all your personal learning prefs but wont do trial and error without knowing it has worked for someone before - i cant start until i find out what it is, which i have been looking for myself and failed to find for the past hours. which is no surprise i have waited to finally ask for help now at 6 in the morning after searching for 5 hours, my final resort.

i do have severe adhd if you couldnt tell from a one sentence question becoming an essay, if that is important, im open to trying literal anything.

i would literally love nothing more if someone pls gave me any sort of guidance/suggest a plan they used/how to figure out what i should do because adhd and ocd wont let me go to sleep until i figure it out and i am so tired. thank you in advance

I am taking the test in January and February and am unsure if I should wait for my February results before applying. The difference would be applying in the last days of January VS the last days of February. will this greatly effect my chances of admission?

When one of the rules are:

if A is selected then B and C are also selected

so A--> B and C

if you negate(Not select) JUST ONE of B or C not both, does A also get not selected or do both B and C have to be not selected for A not to be selected? For In Out Games

hi there, i am still working through the CC and looking for a study partner. currently scoring at 163, but hoping to score 170 ia on the august test. is anyone interested in going through problem sets or blind reviewing together? pls comment or pm me! ᵕ꒳ᵕ-☆

Really confused by the extent to which we rely on diagram in this question. For PF questions, when is the case that we do not strictly follow the diagram in the stimulus? https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-44-section-2-question-22/

STIMULUS:

H–>/G

——-

H /G (confirm one theory at the expense of the other)

However, AC E:

D–>/J

——–

/D–>J (either or)

If the above is true, why is AC E is still the correct AC? Or in this case, are we choosing the best AC?

hi! (fair warning, this a question from is the genuinely tragic mirrors passage btw): for the life of me, i cannot figure out why c is the right choice for this one. i think it's largely because i literally just don't understand what the answer choice means. like genuinely sentence/word-wise i have no friggin clue.

on a theoretical level, i get that the idea of "separating observers from scientific phenomenon" as it's discussed in the text + how this informs the tendency of scientists to prefer certain explanations for phenomena. but i don't understand how that idea is conveyed by the words of answer choice c. answer c reads: "One explanation of what mirrors do reveals the traditional tendency of physicists to separate a phenomenon to be explained from the observer of a phenomenon."

i've been racking my head trying to parse the bolded part word-by-word but i genuinely can't figure it out. isn't the point the text is making that science ppl prefer explanations that don't rely on the observer? how does "separating a phenomenon •••to be explained••• from the observer of a phenomenon" do that?? if someone could even just help break down what this part means that would be useful lol. ty in advance (3(/p)

Y'all.

I just saw someone else post this on another discussion thread, but for any testtakers today or later this week, do NOT forget to click on “Ready to Check In” before (BEFORE!!!) your 10 minute break is up. Do not wait until that timer hits '0'!!

I'm sure everyone registered got this email from LSAC:

--

"Section 3 will not begin until the countdown clock expires. Test takers must click the “Ready to Check In” button before the intermission expires. Once this button is clicked, the test taker is taken to a waiting room. At this point, your proctor will resecure your testing environment so that you can go on to Section 3.

It is absolutely critical that you return to your computer and click the “Ready to Check In” button within the allotted 10 minutes.

If you fail to check in for Section 3 of the LSAT prior to the expiration of the 10-minute intermission, your testing session will be terminated and your score will be canceled. This cancellation will be recorded by LSAC as a Candidate Cancel and reported to any school to which you apply for admission that utilizes LSAC’s Credential Assembly Service (CAS) reports."

I checked in at the 1'20'' left mark. And don't worry, I still had to wait until the full 10 minutes were done, and my proctor was slow to return anyways. PLUS I had another extra minute just BEFORE Section 3 was due to begin. So no one's getting jipped if you 'check in' early.

I've watched JY's explanation and the only other forum post regarding this question, but I'm still not sure why my reasoning for B is incorrect.

I understand the diagramming to be:

P: know a lot about history —> easy to impress intellectuals

C: /(know a lot about history) —> /(easy to impress intellectuals)

I also understand this to be a case of:

Invalid Argument Structure

A —> B

———

/A —> /B

What doesn't make sense to me is I chose B though because I'm thinking it's possible

(you could know a lot about history ---> /(easy to impress intellectuals)) or (A --> /B). I'm not sure if my reasoning is correct and it's just not appropriate in this situation because it fails step 2 of the flaw test or if something else about it is flat-out incorrect. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Bee -> sting once

Sting once

C) Old + brittle -> move with care

/Move with care -> /Old + brittle

Negation: Old + brittle -> Move w care (still valid argument whereas the stimulus is invalid).

D) Only is G2
