Dont understand this one

Can someone explain why AC C is right and E is wrong.

Option C states that "the proportion of arrests to crimes committed was not significantly higher for criminals under intensive supervision than for those under routine supervision." This statement is not an assumption on which the argument relies. Instead, it is a piece of evidence presented in the argument to support the conclusion that intensive supervision is no more effective than routine supervision in preventing criminals from committing additional crimes. The argument states that the percentage of released criminals arrested while under supervision is the same for intensive supervision as for routine supervision, and cites the fact that the proportion of arrests to crimes committed was not significantly higher for criminals under intensive supervision as evidence for this claim. However, this statement does not itself form the basis for the argument's conclusion.

Option E is an assumption on which the argument relies. The argument states that the percentage of released criminals arrested while under supervision is the same for intensive supervision as for routine supervision, and concludes that intensive supervision is no more effective than routine supervision in preventing criminals from committing additional crimes. However, this conclusion relies on the assumption that the number of criminals put under routine supervision was not significantly greater than the number of criminals put under intensive supervision. If the number of criminals put under routine supervision was significantly greater, it could be that the percentage of released criminals arrested while under supervision is the same simply because there are more criminals under routine supervision. In that case, it would not be accurate to conclude that intensive supervision is no more effective than routine supervision

I've submitted my apps but indicated I'll be taking a future LSAT (January). So I'm assuming that most of the schools will keep my application on hold until they get my January scores.

But if my January score is lower than my current score on record, I'm thinking of cancelling it with score preview. If I cancel the January score, will the law schools that have my app on hold get a new report saying I cancelled my score and proceed with review, or do I have to manually update them?

Or, in the event that I get a January score that's a couple points lower than my current score, is it even worth cancelling the score?

Hi, the explanation videos for Sufficient Assumption Questions Problem Set 3 are not playing for me. Any idea what I need to do to watch these videos?

Hi everyone!

I'm hoping to get some advice on when you can book your writing sample for the January 2023 exam date. On my lsac account it says that the Launch LSAT Writing link will appear on my account 8 days prior to my testing date. Therefore, 8 days prior to my actual lsat test, will I then register for a ProctorU day and time for my writing sample?

Any advice or experience would be appreciated as this is my first time completing the writing sample so I'd love some clarification.

The question is described here. It is PT 56 Section 2 Question 23. I was stuck between D and E and eventually chose D. I have read that it is incorrect because it is an illegal reversal, I just do not understand how.

I basically wrote it out like /Intervention -> Extinct and contraposed that as /Extinct -> Intervention which led me to answer choice D. What did I do wrong?

hey everyone! I'm starting to feel really down on myself with LSAT as a whole. I've been studying on and off for months now and I feel like I've barely made measurable progress. I plan to take the LSAT in June 2023, so I still have 6 months to go. However, I'm just feel so discouraged and I'm feeling the burnout. I work full time so trying to jam in studying on my breaks or off days is getting exhausting. I'm discouraged comparing myself to peers that are exceeding so well on their studies and prep tests.

I recently took a break from the Core Curriculum for Logical reasoning because it started to drain me. I was given advice to just skip for now and move to the Logic Games section, which has actually resparked my interest in studying.

I'm just seeking any advice on how to overcome this rut, and possible better study strategies to implement?

Does anyone else work full time and still manage to feel like they are making progress on their studies? #HELP #HELLP #HELP

Hello,

When I attempt to create a drill based on the 7Sage Virtual Tutor's recommended questions, the module states that it could not create a drill based on my criteria. I am running on a MacBook using Google Chrome and have already cleared my cookies & cache.

Thank you for the help!

Edit: I don't know what's going on with the Imgur link, just copy & paste the link itself into the searchbar (even if it's already there) and it should work. It's trying to show the images in the post and glitching out.

Method of reasoning is my biggest weakness in LR now and i'm working on doing a deep dive on this question type.

Any general tips, tricks and hacks?

I've been studying the superprep tests and reading the official explanations which has been very helpful and trying to categorize all the tricks they use. Seems like it helps to have a really good understanding of key terms that keep popping up like hypothesis, general principle etc. but the difficult questions seem to really trade on either very abstract descriptions of the reasoning or tricky word choices that are technically accurate but a bit "off center".

Curious to know how ya'll deal with these Qs.

Hi everyone,

I'm having a hard time understanding why answer choice E is wrong and why answer choice B is correct can someone please explain

Thank you in advance!

Hi. Yesterday I was able to use the Ai drill builder just fine but today it it says "we are unable to build a drill based off the criteria you have selected" when I'm choosing the virtual tutor to choose my questions. Any ways on how to fix?

Does anyone else have the issue of no slots showing up? I've gone through every hour in the rang, and no options show up.

Hello all, I barely registered for the February lsat yesterday and didn't know that accommodation requests were also due yesterday. Unfortunately, I did not sign up for the accommodation request in time and this will severely jeopardize my performance level on test day. I decided to register for the April LSAT that way I will have proper accommodation. Would I be able to submit my application prior to taking the April LSAT? Or do you think I should just try the February LSAT, send the score in, submit application, and then take the April LSAT? For reference, Im applying to SOCAL schools such as UCI, U of SD, Cal Western, Chapman, Loyola, Western State, Southwestern, and others. I know these schools do accept the April LSAT but Im just worried that this can seriously jeopardize my chances. Any advice?

Hi everyone, atp I feel like I need a reasonably priced experienced tutor, preferably with references, to help me settle down & improve LR (specifically NA, Weaken & Strengthen) & help me hone in on -1/-0 on LG. Are there 7sage tutors I can reach out to? Or tutors not affiliated with 7sage? Please comment below or feel free to message me! I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Any tips on how you use the wrong answer journal on here? I have been keeping track of my drill results on paper in my own journal and just tracking what general mistakes I made. Any ideas are appreciated!

I began a non-7sage prep course in November with the intention of taking the February LSAT. As the course went on I found myself really stuck on LG. I have progressed since starting the course but still have not been able to move past the 3rd game in PTs or timed drills. My two most recent PTs were 160 and 152. Truth be told the course has not been as helpful as I was hoping it would be. Since getting access to 7sage videos I'm beginning to get a better hang on LG. Nonetheless I think I would greatly benefit from spending more time working on LG so I pushed my test date back. My course finishes in early February. I am intending to only use 7sage videos/material to prepare for the April test after my course is done. I guess my question is does anyone have any advice on how to proceed? Should I hold off on taking PTs and just focus on redoing logic games until the test date is closer? I also want to study in a way that is healthy and guards against burnout. Just trying to think about how to best approach the next four months. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi everyone,

I just took my first ever PT, and throughout the entire process, I was falling short on time. I literally had to leave the last 5-7 questions of each section blank because I ran out of time, and even then, I constantly had to skim over the passages and AC to barely make it to question 20. I'm worried I may be too slow and don't know what to do to become more efficient under timed conditions. Is this an issue I should be very worried about, or do you guys think over time, I will naturally become more efficient as I take more PTS

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the study schedule and syllabus.

I understand that I should work through the CC in order. But, what if I go through a certain lesson, lets say MSS for example, and I don't do so well on the drilling portion. I believe I need more help on MSS.

Once I complete all of the drills and I don't feel like I grasped the concepts or understood why I'm missing questions, and I don't do so well on the drills, do I move on and follow the study schedule? Or do I drill some more?

When should I do more drills of questions types I've already done such as MP/MC? Do I do them in between other lessons? Do I go back to them after I'm done with the CC and drill out those that I have trouble with?

Why is c) correct?

b) seems like the right answer to me.

Can someone please explain.

Is anyone including an addendum to account for a slight drop in grades because of COVID?? I'm not sure if it's worth doing because of how significant 2020 was (I imagine most people know that COVID probably affected some schools). I also don't want to annoy them by making them read something else about covid.

i had trouble really explaining why A and B were wrong. Only that E felt the best in matching. And this was after mapping out each answer choice and BR... any idea?

Do law schools frown upon you sending an updated version of your essays? I just completed an application a few days ago, but I'd really like to change a few things on my diversity statement.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

Do you guys read anything into law schools reaching out and saying you have exceptional stats? That they think you'll be perfect for their community? How about when they waive application fees or CAS report fees? I've been getting a few of this since I took the June test. I am currently working on my applications, so I just wanted to run this by the community.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

This is in reference to LG but applicable for all sections, does anyone have tips for finishing on time more regularly? My blind review prep test scores are pretty good but without fail I leave a few questions blank (often 5 or 6 for LG) when I do practice tests.

TIA!
