Can anyone clarify why E is correct?

I chose E indirectly after eliminating other four answer choices.

.

Explanation for other answers:

[DIAGRAM]

Artist --most-> Hold less insightful political views than well educated non-artist

Artist statement --few-> Artistic talent =/= Political insight

.

[ANSWER CHOICES]

A ) Non-artist?

B ) Thorough education?

C ) Again, non-artist?

D ) Politicians?

.

.

Thank you in advance!

Acceptable situation question

Does anyone write down the board for the acceptable situation question 1? I feel like this could potentially help on future questions to show a could be true answer or something similar. Or is this too risky in case you get it wrong?

Hi 7Sagers!

On Thursday, March 30, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a free webinar about how to set objectives and structure studies once you've completed the Core Curriculum. The Core Curriculum offers a very tidy and effective structure that is easy to follow. Once that's done, though, many of us have found ourselves uncertain on how most effectively to move forward. In this webinar, we want to provide some guidance to this stage of studying.

→ Please register for the webinar here:

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

:warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

:warning: The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

Hello guys, I'm having trouble understanding my GPA since my school (the one in South Korea) doesn't belong to any categories that CAS LSAT GPA Calculator provides. How would you interpret the grading system as follows?

A+(95~100) - 4.5

A0 (90~94) - 4.0

B+ (85~89) - 3.5

B0 (80~84) - 3.0

C+ (75~79) - 2.5

C0 (70~74) - 2.0

D+ (65~69) - 1.5

D0 (60~61) - 1.0

F (0~56) - 0

Any suggestion or information regarding my question would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm finding myself confused with how LSAC scales your raw score on prep tests. I'm in a prep course and have taken several official prep tests and have had instances where my raw score has differed significantly, yet my scaled score doesn't show such improvement. I will list my scores and coinciding practice tests below...

PT 84: raw score 44. scaled 144.

PT 65: raw score 50. scaled 146.

PT 85: raw score 54. scaled 148.

PT 81: raw score 60. scaled 152.

PT 86: raw score 60. scaled 153.

PT 87: raw score 69. scaled 157.

PT 88: raw score 65. scaled 155.

PT 89: raw score 70. scaled 157.

My concern is that when looking at general estimated LSAT raw score conversion charts, a 69 can be scaled up to a 173 or 75 can be up to 180 scaled. That's a pretty big difference in the scaled scores I'm seeing! How is this determined and are the 4 section prep tests that I've been using to practice scaled differently than the Flex format and that is why I'm seeing such a difference on these charts?

I came across a question (PT58, S2 Q19) that had a question stem like the one above and JY's explanation raised a question for me. Does a passage only provide support for the author's arguments? In this passage, the author is refuting a legal theory, so is it wrong to say that the passage is providing support for the opposing theory in any way?

P.S. I would've asked under the passage, but the last comment was 10 months ago. I guess I'm the only one with this problem lol.

"No more likely" Meaning?

I encountered a question with an answer choice that said something like "companies are no more likely to do X if B than if A"

This feels like a riddle to me, and I am not exactly sure what relationship is established here. My best guess was that this means that if B, then X is either the same level or less likely than if A. Is that correct or is there a better way to interpret this relationship?

Should I keep studying?

Lately I've been in a slump where my score has been stuck in the same range as my previous test (164), but I've been trying and failing to break into the 170s. I've been stuck in this range since I first started studying last summer - I was studying pretty on and off during the fall since I was still in college, and began studying full time in January to prepare for the April administration. However, since my score isn't changing at all even though I've been spending at least 5 hours every day studying, I've started to become discouraged and I'm feeling rushed because I gave myself a head start by graduating early so I could get the LSAT out of the way before I started looking for a job, but since I'm not seeing much progress, I'm beginning to feel unsure about continuing to take time off to study.

If I should keep going, any advice for getting out of this slump? Any suggestions (besides tutoring, which is out of the question for financial reasons) would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Shemariel I am a first generation student and hopefully soon be be law student! I am located on the east coast. I have been studying for over a year and going through the this LSAT journey on my own with no mentorship. Literally I don't even think my family understand how big of a task the LSAT is let alone law school. However I have learned alot on my own and believe in my abilities. Thus I wanted to create a support group First-Gen students. Ideally I envision this group being 100% judgement free, a safe space where we can uplift each other and talk about out LSAT challenges and goals, we can meet weekly or once every two weeks. I am open to anything that will empower those who wish to join.

I would like to gage the interest before officially formatting the group, but drop your email or private message me if you are interested (3(/p)

Hello all! I began studying for the LSAT in January and would love to form a small accountability/support study group. I am still working through the CC and have a full-time job. Ideally, the group would be about five people, who work full time, and ususally study around 8 pm ET. We could hop on Zoom, mute ourselves, and work through the core curriculum individually. My goal is to take the LSAT next year.

    Paralegal rejection

    Never really posted before so here goes nothing. I interviewed for a spot in a big firm's paralegal program the other day. Took 20 minutes, went so-so, but less than 4 hours later I got a rejection email. I'm not too broken up about the rejection but it seems ridiculously fast considering I only got off the phone with them and definitely wounded my pride a bit. Should I read into the speedy rejection too much, or am I just doing my typical type-a overthinking?

    I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how often one should be doing drills and PTs when early on in their studies. I've been studying for about a month and about to take my second PT and have done one drill. I see some people doing drills every single day. I also hear from people that PTs are valuable later on in your studies rather than too early.

    What does drill/PT frequency look like for you, earlier on vs closer to test date? I plan to study for about 6-8 months. Thanks for any input.

    Hi,

    Over the past 3 days, I've been experiencing a constant "close tester" message in intervals of 3-5 minutes consistently when trying to take prep tests. I thought that this may be an issue with my internet connection at first, but it has been stable. All other websites have no other issues loading whenever I lose my connection to 7Sage. Is there a fix I can do to stop this on my end or is this something wrong server side?

    Additional information: I am accessing this site through Firefox and I am also having issues publishing this discussion.

    Thanks,

    I feel stuck

    So I feel like I know what I’m doing but when I look at a new game I’m totally stuck. It seems like everything I thought I knew flies out the window. Especially for in and out games. I read how people say these games are repetitive but to me they all seem so different. How do I get to this “repetition” stage. I’ve practiced games on here over and over. It’s the new ones I’ve never seen that give me a hard time.

    Hi guys, I have a serious issue with test anxieties. How come does a person when he does a drill section by section and gets an average -6 on RC, untimed - but always do it on time - get a -15 on a recent preptest. I diagnosed this as lack of confidence and looming test anxieties. Any tips on reducing test anxieties? I appreciate your comments, thanks.

    URM?

    Hello,

    I'm quite new to the application process for US schools and I have a question regarding URM status. I was born and raised in Vietnam, immigrated to Canada and became a Canadian citizen this past year. If I apply to US law schools, would I be considered URM? Or do I need to be a US citizen for that?

    Thank you.

    I've been looking at a 1-year master's program in business management, and would probably apply to law school to enter immediately after I graduate. I want to go into corporate law, so having some business knowledge and also getting to experience higher level coursework would be a plus. I'm still on the fence about it though, because I'm wondering if it's more worth it to get a job, or will having a master's degree makes you a more competitive applicant than having job experience?

    Hi All - I applied to law school previously in 2010 with an LSAC GPA from my undergrad of 3.66. Since then, I went to grad school and received a 4.0 (in grad school). 2 questions:

    Is it possible that my undergrad GPA calculation will have changed over the past 13 years? For example: my actual transcript GPA was a 3.72.

    How does a 4.0 grad school GPA interact in this process? How does it change the change of admissions?

    I'm having a tough time learning logic games.

    I started with 7Sage sequencing and moved to LSAT Demon around the time I got to grouping. JY's explanations are methodical and he seems to go rule by rule, although sometimes I find his methods hard to follow. LSAT Demon has a tendency to solve them by completing all worlds and combining rules logically/intuitively. Overall, the approaches are fairly different. I'm not even sure which methods make the most sense to me.

    I understand logic games are known for being the most foreign yet most learnable, but I'm feeling a bit paralyzed. I almost feel more confused as time goes by. I really need to get a grip on these before the LSAT in June.

    Does anyone here have suggestions or methods that worked for learning logic games?

    Anyone have experience with both 7Sage and LSAT Demon logic games?

    I would be especially grateful of advice from anyone who previously struggled with logic games and vastly improved.
