Can you take the contrapositive of a causal statement? For example, if it said that A caused B, and we don't have B, is it logically corrected to say then we don't have A? Or does causation not work like that?

Did anyone else pick C instead of B? I thought that the 24 policy showed that it was important to have continuity of care so that if the doctors are tired during a shift it wouldn't have good continuity. But realizing now that I made a lot of assumptions and B is better. Is B right because it says that "now" there's a new policy that makes people stay in the hospital and that means that they're there at their most ill so its more important now to have good care?
Hello all!!
Can someone please explain this? I thought I understood suf vs. nec, but then I got to this question. It just won't click what is happening in the argument, and the videos are not helping me as much.
Thanks!

Can anyone help me on this question? I tried looking it up, but can't find it anywhere.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask for some pointers on how to best use the 7Sage curriculum after having already completed a full Kaplan Course. I feel like I understand LR foundations pretty well and need the most help in LG and RC. I've taken 8 full length PTs and I've also done timing sections from a handful of other tests.
Is it better to start from scratch with 7Sage's full curriculum or skip to the video sections that target my weak areas? If you switched to 7Sage from another test prep provider, what did you do?
I'm looking to virtually meet once or twice a week via skype or zoom. I want to include anyone who has already went through the core curriculum and most of the Lessons. In the study group I want us to do problems together and share aloud what our reasonings behind each answer choice, which is why I want the group to be a small amount of people for efficiency. If anyone responds to this post I will add information for a groupme in comments.
Hello! I just took PT1, and the questions on it seemed easier than the ones I've seen on later tests. (This is my subjective judgement that may have no relation to reality.) I'm just wondering if there is any possibility that the tests have become more difficult over time, and PT1 seemed easier because it actually WAS easier. Any thoughts? Thank you!
Anyone based in Orlando who wants to meet up and study for the August LSAT? Preferably 160+ score range.
Hi I am confused on why the answer is B on PTF97 S1 Q2. I skipped it during my practice test to focus on easier ones first, but when I came back I was unsure about the answer. Also during BR I chose the wrong answer. Just need someone to explain! Thanks!

Should blind-review be completed for logical reasoning or every section of the LSAT prep test?

I am taking the August LSAT
Hi Everyone!
I have had a pretty rocky road with studying for the LSAT... but I really want to apply this fall for law school. I graduated this May with 2 degrees/3 minors and a lot of work/internship experience (3.76 overall GPA on LSAC, 3.82 cumulative). I took the LSAT in June 2022 with a 147, and cannot for the life of me figure out how to study. I have been battling myself while trying to make a study schedule, whereas I will study for 8 hours at a time and then can't study for a few days afterwards. I do not have a goal score because I don't want to disappoint myself.
Anyhow, my next LSAT test date is September 8th. What do you think of me pushing back another month to October, and using these 3 months to study about 40 hours a week? Is early November too late to apply to school? I'm focusing on all 3 sections, but LR is my worst. My dream is to work in a federal position, and I promise I am intelligent and hard-working. I think the LSAT has really threw my self-confidence and urgency off as I thought I would be better at studying like I was in college. Thank you for your time and reading this, and I sincerely appreciate any and all advice.
I took the June 2023 LSAT and din't do anywhere near what I want to end up with. I plan to retake this fall in either September, October, or November depending where I am PTing during this time. I bought the live classes package and have been working through the entire study schedule. I'm finding that I'm spending wayyyyyy too much time doing the Logical Reasoning lessons. I'm only on Week 3 but I'm already behind by a week and a half. Since I have already studied for a few months prior to the June LSAT, I know a good amount of information already regarding LR and LG, however, i significantly what to improve my LR. What is the best method to do so without having to spend 40 + hours a week reviewing the core curriculum? I'm getting confusing about the drilling tools an how and when I should be using them. I don't know what the most effective method is. I've heard great things about 7Sage and improving LSAT scores but I just feel stuck because I'm not sure how to work many things on this website HELP.
I am taking the LSAT in August.
So far, my highest LSAT score is 157.
Should I continue to focus on the syllabus/lessons sections or focus on completing LSAT prep Tests and watching the explanation videos after?
Hi. I was wondering since theres no scratch paper for logic games, how are we supposed to write stuff down?
thanks
Have decided to jump from KhanAcademy to 7Sage and eager to run an analysis on prep tests, but the prep test I took at Khan, which supposedly matches up to Test 66, isn't transferring 1:1 - the various sections are out of order. Should I 1) just enter the answers from left to right columns (which seems wrong, because the number of questions don't mesh) or 2) enter the answers in corresponding columns (i.e. LR from Khan goes into LR at 7Sage) or 3) is this not a 1:1 test and is merely something KhanAcademy formulated on its own, thus creating an imperfect correspondence with 7Sage's Test 66?

Hi everyone!
I'm planning to review RC and LR starting from the old PTs and make sure I review 1-2 PTs every day. I am in the Decatur area (near Emory) and would love to find a study group with people in the area that can occasionally meet in person. If anyone is interested please let me know!
Howdy everyone,
I am a June 2023 LSATer and got a 170 (yay!) but I want to go to a T-14 (Duke is my dream school). I’m a little disappointed since my average was a 173 (175,173,170,170,173,173,172), do you think it would be wise to retake? I am already registered for the August test, but I am trying to figure out whether I should get my refund. Until then, I am only able to dedicate weekends and the two weeks before I would take it to intense studying, so I am a little concerned with retaking it and getting the same score. Kind of in a middle ground, so any advice would be appreciated!
My GPA is a 3.83 since I graduated in three years and spent 2 of those years as STEM, and I am a non-URM wanting to go into public-interest.
Confused as to why the answer is C...
I thought the flaw of the argument was "just because its tested before it enters the market doesn't mean that its safe before you dump it into the river." None of the AC's matched my prephase, and I saw C as irrelevant.
Extraterrestrial does not necessarily mean that they are coming from other planets, but rather that they are coming from outside Earth's atmosphere. I am confused how this is the correct answer.
I understand that any choice proving that the murder rate would've been higher is correct, but I'm not understanding the connection between healthcare and assault victims. How is that relevant and what does it imply?
I hit my target score today thanks to the help I got from your platform. I used Power Score (online course and bibles) among others and 7Sage just really made sense, the live classes were the huge help for me. It was as close as I could come to my own tutor. Thank you so much and to everyone studying, keep at it, you CAN do this!!
