When I do Necessary Assumption Question, I prefer to negate the Answer Choice and then test whether the argument becomes invalid. But this question confused me. Can anybody help me explain the question by negating and testing?

can someone explain why it a and not c?

I am looking for members to study the LSAT with me at TOZ Study Cafe at the Gangnam station. I am scoring somewhere in between 165-171 untimed. I have a degree from Johns Hopkins and work at Chadwick International School. Please send me a message, so that we can arrange something. I am looking to meet on weekends.

I have accommodations that allow me 70 minutes per section, but the PrepTests on here won't allow me to set the time to 70 minutes - anyone know how to fix this?

I am having the hardest time understanding how E is the answer to this one. It was an answer I dismissed outright because I didn't see what the healthcare had to do with the murder rate. Perhaps the question was phrased weird, but I can't figure how to work it in my brain. Any advice?

I answered C for this question, when the answer was B, but I'd like further review on this answer.

I have been accepted to UBC and McGill recently, and I am so unsure of where to go. Does anyone have any insight? Rank is important to me as well as community, programming (I'm interested in International/Human rights law), and opportunities. My main issue is that my family lives in BC and I'm not sure I can move far away from them to somewhere that I'd have no community. Any insight is much appreciated.

hello all! has anyone had the chance to study CC V1 and CC V2 and recommend one more than other? I have taken the LSAT before but I’m studying to take it again so since I am familiar with the test, I was leaning towards V2 to refresh my mind but also want the most detailed. Any suggestions?

Hello! I just signed up for 7Sage and I look forward to diving in! I’m curious about the new Core Curriculum V2 Beta. Is it safe for me to start here if I have no former LSAT experience? Should I wait to take the Practice Tests until after I’m through the CC? I notice V2 takes significantly less time than V1. Should I worry about this?

Thank you in advance!

For this question, I had gotten it correct in the timed test, but ended up changing my answer in BR.

I wanted to discuss my reasoning for the BR, so that maybe it would help solidify why I chose B to begin with.

My reasoning was as follows:

I had initially chose B, but changed it during BR because I felt like the passage didn't explicitly tell us that the political stability would decrease. It did mention that believing that the constitution was being interpreted consistently with the intentions of its authors was "so necessary for political stability", but my reasoning during BR was that since it didn't explicitly state that politically stability would INCREASE, so I went with D.

From my understanding (please correct me if wrong) B is correct because ultimately we could ASSUME from the info given that political instability would increase from the info given.

However, I would now be extremely interested in why D would be wrong lol!

Anyways, just wanted to open up a discussion about this question :)

I understand why answer D is correct, but why is E incorrect? If T was slower than S, wouldn't that hurt the argument, especially as we're focused on treating the effects of heart attacks as soon as possible?

Hi! This may have already been answered, but I could not find it.....

Do you have to purchase lawhub? It is asking me to renew my subscription but I am not sure if its necessary? I know it allows me to practice what my test day will be like but seems like a waste since I have access to PTs through 7sage.

Thanks!

Can anybody explain E? If I negate AC(E), why the argument becomes invalid?

MMS question

I got this one wrong twice, the first time I picked D, this is not supported because we don.t know anything about the algae, only that they are the food source of the mussels, so we cannot infer anything else. In Blind review I choose C, also wrong answer, cause we don't know if there is any mechanical means available for cleaning the pipe.

What does "presuppose" ACTUALLY mean in an AP question's answer choice?

I understand that presupposing something is similar to assuming something. But I still keep messing up on AP questions where the answer choices include the word "presuppose." I trick myself into believing that the argument has presupposed something!

For example, PT27.S2.Q17 (the "A Stable Society" question), I picked E :'(

Does anybody have any examples of when an argument really did presuppose something? Are answer choices in AP questions that mention "presupposing" always wrong?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Confused on how questions work -- I've done two drills now where I think I select an answer (the circle is blue) but only my first answer out of all of them is counted, while the rest are N/A.

Hello!

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in a couple of months, and I would like to form a study group of about 5-8 people for those whose goal is a 165+ and working full-time and have already completed more than 80% of the core curriculum. In this group, we will virtually meet 2 times a week (once on the weekend, and once on a weekday). On the weekend, we will blind review one PT test from 70-93 (all sections). On the weekday, we will take one timed 35 minute section (alternating each week between LG, LR, RC), and then blind review this afterwards together. The aim of this group is to help each other and benefit from each others' strengths!

When blind reviewing, we will try going in depth with each question. Even if every individual has gotten the answer correct, we will come to a consensus on why this answer is better than the others instead of moving on to the next question without discussing it. This does take more time, but if we do go over time, the rest of the questions can be posted on a discussion board following the session.

Logic games are a bit tricky to blind review together. To overcome this, when blind reviewing a logic game section, study group members should watch the explanation videos before, and if they still don't understand, we will go over the rules and conditions together, drawing out the diagram, and having one group member that understands the question well 'teach' the others for that day or 'lead' the discussion. On a logic game blind review weekday, we will also do 1 very hard problem together.

Also, each week there will be an assignment board (sort of like homework) for each day which is optional to keep us on track and have some structure. A discussion board will be made for any questions / sharing thought processes of how you solved hard questions pertaining to these assignments (for ex. Monday - do PT 65 Section 1 Logic Games).

Timings will most likely adhere to those working full-time and live in North America (after 4pm ET on weekdays, and anytime on weekends). We will meet for 1 hour maximum, 2 times a week. If you live in the East, and can still make it to the session, you are welcome to join! All ideas on structure are welcome once the group is formed! :) Comment if you are interested and I will add you to the discord.

Edit: hi guys! most likely will be sending out the discord invite tomorrow (feb 7th) :)

Hi all! Looking to connect with people starting to study early for next spring's LSAT exams. If you'd be interested I would love to connect!

I am open to in-person meet ups or phone/video.

Suppose we had a rule 6 situation where B goes to A and C goes to A, but B also goes to D and E goes to C. What happens if there are other pieces in the chain (for example, the D and E) when you take the contrapositive of the rule 6 group (A, B, C)? Do you also take the contrapositive of those? Like basically taking the contrapositive of the whole entire thing?

Prep Test 17 Section 4 Passage 3 #16

Could someone help me with why D is not the correct answer?

In the second paragraph, it gives the stats for carbon taxes and says "It should be noted, however, that these numbers ignore the effect of the tax on economic growth, and hence on emissions". Doesn't that imply that the taxes need to account for the effect on economic growth, and are thus influenced by it and would vary based on the effect that the tax would have on a country's economy (D)?

Is the experimental section always the one that shows up twice? Like if RC shows up twice its ONE of the TWO RCs thats the experimental? Or can your score be based on an LR and 2 RCs?

During my senior year in undergrad, I was reported for academic dishonesty (plagiarism). I previously had a class with the professor that reported me and I got an A in his class, which is why I was surprised that he thought I plagiarized. The professor said it was a minor case of plagiarism because I did not paraphrase adequately in certain parts of my final essay. I met with the dean and I ultimately admitted to plagiarism and I got a deferred suspension (which is just fancy language for a warning). The dean said that I had to attend an avoiding plagiarism workshop before graduation so that's what I did. I asked the dean if something like this would appear on my transcript and she said that UCLA (the uni I attended) does not make a notation on the transcript but it holds a separate records that are confidential. She said the records would not be released to law schools without their request and my authorization. I ultimately got an A- in that class.

So what should I do? Does attending a workshop like this count as disciplinary action? Is a warning all that bad? And will law schools see that something like this happened through the LSAC CAS report?
