Negating Statements

I need help negating statements that look the same but appear to be negated in different ways.

"The leopard magpie moth does not have the speed or the agility to escape from any of its potential predators" (PT80 S1 Q5)

Negated: "The leopard magpie moth does have the speed or the agility to escape from some of its potential predators"

"The proposed legislation is not made up of a set of statements some of which are overly specific and some of which are overly vague" (PT80 S2 Q18)

Negated: "The proposed legislation is made up of a set of statements some of which are overly specific and some of which are overly vague"

How come for the former statement, the "any" is changed to "some" while in the latter statement, the "some" does not change?"

Thanks in advance!

I am a bit confused on why the answer is E and not D. I feel like D makes less of an assumption than E in stating that the algae would clog the pipes and the mussels stop that from being the case. In E, there is mention of transforming the algae. In hindsight, I can sort of see how mussels absorbing hazardous waste would then mean that they themselves are hazardous waste, but I'm having trouble definitively understanding why E is the glaringly right choice over D.

I've typically noticed that RC is usually pretty strong for me, with an average of about -2 to -3. However, I just did PT 65, and noticed that my scores tanked. I don't want to treat this as one test's score, especially because I know that more recent section are reflective of the increased difficulty of RC. What strategies should I take to make sure harder passages don't trip me up? Thanks!

Every time I am trying to foolproof games it takes some time to select the games I want and start drilling. I wish there was a way where you just press a button on the existing drills section that makes a copy of the ones you just did. Maybe this is just me complaining about first world problems lol

CC V2

The new version prompt is not appearing on my syllabus. A youtube video explanation of it briefly appeared then disappeared. How do I change over?

Thanks

Hi everyone!

I recently just moved to the Philly area and am planning on taking the LSAT in November. If anyone is in the area and looking for a study buddy, get in touch! I'd love to start a study group for some collaboration, accountability, and support!!

Reading Comp

Are you allowed scratch paper during the reading comp section of the test? I know you are allowed it for logic games, just wondering if its allowed for the entire thing?? Thanks

My thought process in getting the correct answer:

High blood cholesterol -> increased risk of stroke by blood clots

Low blood cholesterol -> increased risk of OTHER stroke by cerebral hermorrhage (how? Low bc weakens artery walls, making them easy to rupture).

W diets better protect against cerebral hermorrahe (low bc) than non-Western

Assumption: W diets decreases low blood cholesterol (aka increases blood cholesterol, making the artery walls not weakened, less likely to rupture).

NC

A) Healthier is vague, we dont need this to be true

B) Anticipated answer

C) High blood cholesterol level PREVENT weakening of artery walls.

Negation: if high blood cholesterol doesn’t prevent weakening of artery walls (cause of cerebral herm), then high blood cholesterol increases (or has nothing to do with) cerebral hermorrage. This just wrecks everything the stem says, but it doesn’t tie to the diets argument part.

D) Who cares which one is more deadly

E) low blood pressure is irrelevant, were talking about blood cholesterol

I picked E because I thought it eliminated an alternative explanation by showing that the population drop was not because the beetles were eaten by their predator. I immediately crossed over A thinking it was totally out of scope. My thought process was: the stimulus talks about the number of beetles "spotted" in 1985 and 1989, so why would their camouflage matter anyway? Is E wrong because it can't explain the "difference" in the number of beetles in those two years? Can anyone explain how A connects to the stimulus?

It's my goal practice law in my home state of Pennsylvania, but I don't want to rule out attending any schools outside of my state if the school is recognized enough to get work back in the area.

About where on the list is a school recognizable enough to be employable after school and out of that state?

Also, are there any niche schools that my not rank high on the list but are more so employable out of state?

Hey guys! I am taking my second round of the LSAT on Feb 8 and my studying is going well, but on the prep test I took yesterday I lost at least four points in my best section because I completely freaked out. I had taken the first two sections of the test completely fine, but by the time i got to section three its like my brain just wasn't reading anything. I've googled stress relief and have done basic stuff like exercise to get the jitters out, but does anyone have stress relief tips that you guys use during the test?

Hi! Is there any way to drill by question types I seem to get incorrect often in the reading comprehension section? Or at least finding passages in which a question of the specific type I'm looking for is included? Thank you! :)

CC v1 versus CC v2

Hi everyone,

I began studying for the LSAT in June using 7Sage's CC v1, but I recently learned that there is now a CC v2. I am about 25% through the logical reasoning portion of the curriculum, and after gaining access to CC v2 I've noticed that the curriculum is much more condensed and different. I'm wondering what I should do, either continue with CC v1 or switch to CC v2 for the remainder of my studies. Would continuing to study CC v1 disadvantage me in preparation for taking the October/November LSATs?

Any suggestions or insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Types of Reasoning

Hello!

Is there a specific lesson where J.Y. discusses the types of reasoning? I completed the core curriculum last year, and I don't recall him discussing the types of reasoning. Is this something new to V2? #help

Goodbye Logic Game Section

Anyone have any idea of when LSAC is going to announce what month they are changing to the new test format and getting rid of logic games? I've seen people predict June/July 2024, but how much of a heads up will we get?

I test in August and was wondering what would be the most efficient way to spread out PTs as I have a lot I have still not completed. I was taking one a day but felt I wasn't learning much, anyone have a better approach?

PrepTest A - Section 2 - Passage 2 Question 11

If someone could assist me in explaining how D is the correct answer. The final paragraph, to my knowledge, explained how Fannie's Film gave the working women a chance to tell her own story. In this case it gives women who were ignored by mainstream media the ability to expose realisitic filmaking and give them represenation?
