I feel like I'm getting burned by questions that don't use the exhaustive formal logic to solve them.

For example, PT 126 Section 3 Question 14 uses 'most' in a 'most strongly supported' context -- here, validity of invalid/valid argument forms involving 'most' are basically irrelevant, despite the fact that the curriculum exclusively focuses on 'most' in that context. The correct answer choice makes the stimulus more likely, but it doesn't prove validity.

This is a recurring problem across several PT's. For example, see PT 127, Section 2, Question 24. Just like before, pure formal translation and logic doesn't get you the answer. Additionally, see PT 127 Section 1 Question 25. Again, where simply doing 7sage's formal translations and logic doesn't get you the answer. PT 139 Section 1 Question 22 is another example where simply translating 'most' and looking for a 'lawgic' inference doesn't guarantee success. As an additional example, I would argue that in PT 120 Section 1 Question 24 trying to translate the 'most' 'lawgic' actually gets in your way than if you just focus on the other elements of the stimulus.

The curriculum doesn't even cover that there's sometimes a more easily understand application of the word 'most.' For example, PT 119 Section 3 Question 9 uses the phrase 'the most common response' to indicate 'the #1 response.' PT 138 Section 3 Question 4 also involves this verbiage; 'the most polluted cities' are used to indicate 'the top polluted cities.'

There are also questions that reference the word 'most' but in a very irrelevant kind of way (understanding 'most' has very little to do with the reasoning to get the answer right). For example, see PT 131 Section 3 Question 7. PT B Section 4 Question 18 involves the useage of the word 'most often,' and again, formal 7sage lawgic has no answer for how to deal with the application of 'most' in this kind of question..

There are also answer choices that involve your understanding of the application of 'most' with probabilities (and what they can and can't mean). For example, PT 133 Section 3 Question 21. Another example where you need to be confident in 'most''s limitations and strengths as a strengthener is evaluating answer choice D in PT 19 Section 2 Question 18.

PT 151 Section 2 Question 12 involves a very weak usage of the word 'most' to weaken a question.

TLDR: I feel like I don't have a grasp of the word 'most' when it is not used in a formal lawgic context on the LSAT. I find it hard to push out inferences for these questions, especially because the curriculum doesn't really teach 'most' outside of a 'lawgic' context. I added a TON of examples (from across 12 prep tests!) and there are many many more I didn't include. Any advice? Tips? Recommendations? Thoughts?

just looking to chat with some fellow ontario applicants for this upcoming cycle, both those who have and have not taken the test. I am planning to take in October!!

Looking for individuals interested in studying together and help a newbie like me prep for the LSAT. If interested LMK!

Hey! Can someone please explain what this answer choice means/give an example of when it would be correct?

I'm taking my LSAT around August 10th. When is a good time to finish up my studying?

I need an explanation for this question, please!

I just had a few questions regarding applications, the application cycle and when the best time to apply is. I am planning to take my first LSAT in August and also plan to take another one in October. The reasoning behind this is that if I don't like ny August score, I still have the opportunity to take another test and get the scores back before November. If I end up using my October score, is it too late in the application cycle to start applying on the first of November? Please let me know if my line of thinking makes sense and if I should make any changes. I am currently studying 2-3 hours daily for the past 2 months almost.

I want to start a LSAT study group for ppl writing their LSAT in Nov like me. We can create a whatsapp group and get together and study. I am aiming for 165+. If interested let me know and I will create a Whatsapp group.

Hello- if your taking the lsat in fall of 2024 , comment your GroupMe so we can get a group

I am not understanding JY’s (or any other online) explanation as to why the answer is A. I’m not understanding how he gets from “If important AND well written then published therefore If important then published.”

Is the idea that importance implies that it also well written?? Or is it that the “and” there is really functioning as an “or”? If it’s functioning as an “or”, why? Thanks in advance!

Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [first set of words]"

As the title says, I have already started old syllabus and something like 25-35% through it. Should I switch to the new one and go from the start or they are not that different and I am good with doing the old one and just skipping LG sections???

do I go straight into taking a PT? Or should I take a day in between to freshen up on LR? What did you guys do?

I am booked to take the LSAT in August, I have been studying since June already and am currently scoring around 150, though I feel I am making stupid mistakes and score better just doing sections rather then actual prep tests. Is there still time for me to bring my score up before the August LSAT? Also I have been a little confused on the blind review, any advice?

Is this something that we will know before August or after? By scale I mean how many questions you can get wrong to get X score.

So I've been noticing a lot of what I'm getting wrong are questions that are ranked 4-5 on difficulty, and some 3's. No surprise there, but I'm wondering if it would be effective to only drill using questions that are max difficulty? Might be a silly question idk. Any tips for studying when getting more of the difficult questions wrong?

So yeah, for LR, the vast majority of questions that I am missing I picked the right answer first, only to then start doubting myself, usually thinking "this answer is too easy/obvious, it HAS to be a another one" and end up picking a wrong one. Ugh, why does this keep happening? Is there a way to stop second-guessing myself???

Hi, I'm planning on taking the August LSAT and was looking for any potential advice for trying to close the gap to 170+ by then. Generally, I take practice tests 2-3 times a week, review with the 7sage explanation videos, handwrite the wrong answer journal, and typically take one or two days off every now and then to avoid burnout. Thas been my general strategy - was looking for any insight about whether it might make more sense to drill as opposed to PT, do one a day or something. Thank you!

For those who have read the loophole, should I finish the CC on 7sage before reading or integrate both. I bought The Loophole as an addition resource. I am almost done all the question types on 7sage and have about 60% left and was doing well with the questions types and picking them up really easily but now as I am reaching the last few question types I am starting to struggle a lot (Weaken and SA). I wonder if I should begin reading the loophole to help Or if I should just continue to finish the CC since I am 60% done and then once Ive gone over all the question types on 7sage and then read the loophole as supplementary material to help with my weak areas?

Hey guys, I just moved to NYC and am looking to start/find a study group here. LMK if anyone's interested!

I'm a very visual learner/processor and the format of the RC passages on the screen is super frustrating to me. I wish there was a way you could see the passage in its entirety and the separation of paragraphs without having to scroll so much. Does anyone else struggle with this or have any recommendations?

Hi! I wanted to make a July study group for the people in the GTA who are taking their exam in August or September. Im going to make a group chat. Please reply with your snapchat or number if you're interested.

Has any one taken the LSAT in person? I hate doing it online with a passion it takes about an hour to just get the test which makes my anxiety worse. I wanted to see if it worth taking in person is it old school like with pen and pencil or do you have to take it with a computer as well?
