I am saying this because there are some terms that I dont know what the question means. Like am I supposed to know what a generalization, alternative explanation, or evidence is? Could someone please explain this. There was this one question in the AP lesson that talked about Crime and Media coverage. I chose A for the answer because the explanation was supporting the conclusion. However the actual answer was E which was an "Alternative Explanation" What does that mean?

I was stuck between answer choices B and C. I eventually settled down for B but I'm still struggling to figure out why B is the more optimal answer compared to C. The question makes the assumption that the study is representative of the entire population of the United States, and fails to account for any discrepancies between the study subjects and the American population, thus making C an attractive answer.

(1) Most profitable investment: The rate of inflation EXCEEDS the rate of return by a given percentage (say, x%). That is, in real terms, the investment generates a loss; the inflation rate overcompensates whatever profit is being made here. According to the stimulus, this means that the VALUE of this investment declines by the same percentage (x%) at least. Value thus is presented as a function of profit.

(2) Any other investment – that is, any investment that is LESS profitable than the one described in case #1: The value of this investment declines by MORE than x% – that is, the differential between the inflation rate and the rate of return must be even greater than in case #1. Inflation overcompensates the rate of returns even more than in the first case.

Answer choice (C) suggests: The second investment (any investment that is not the most profitable one) is LESS profitable than the most profitable one. If VALUE is a function of PROFIT, and if VALUE in the second case declines more than in the first case, then the second case cannot describe the maximally profitable investment described in case #1.

I’m not sure I’m getting either the economics or the logic behind this right, but it seems to me that a lot of the information presented in the passage is redundant. To conclude what answer choice (C) says ("Case #2 does not describe the most profitable investment"), we only would have needed to know (1) that case #1 is the most profitable investment, and (2) that case #2 can be distinguished from that investment. Is this right / is there a more efficient way to solve this, especially under timed conditions?

Hi there, anyone studying for the June 2023 test and aiming for 170+? Would love to have a study buddy!

What is the best way to study with the core curriculum? Should I be studying RC, LR, and LG every week or should I be focusing on getting better at each section slowly.

Can someone help me understand why E is the answer to this? I understand why B (my answer is wrong), but I don't understand why E is correct.

Should I be going by the target time JY says in the video or the target time under the game (for LG)? Thanks, let me know!

Would one W on my transcript taint my applications - particularly for t-14 schools?

Hi,

I am working on my law school resume and would like to know if I should list all the honor societies, awards, and scholarships I received during my college years. I also did debate in college, and I received awards there too. As I type them down, it starting to look like a lot, and I do not want to come across as arrogant or pretentious. For context, some of this includes Honor Societies ( 4), (6) merit scholarships, 5 college awards, and (5) debate awards. (Even writing this sound pretentious). Should I delete some and just list the most important ones?

I appreciate any advice

Thank You :)

I hold a bachelor's degree in law, but the GPA is low

After that, I studied for a master's degree and got a high GPA

The question is, can I be accepted to study jd in America after I get a good mark in lsat?

The question 2 is, will they consider the master's degree and ignore the bachelor's degree?

Is the idea that this is a one premise argument where answer choice (A) just contraposes to the desired conclusion? That is, are we to assume that "All rich farmers are dishonest" and "Every honest farmer is poor" are logically equivalent, and that "Every honest farmer is poor" thus serves as a sufficient assumption for "All rich farmers are dishonest?"

I am looking for a specific LSAT question that comes from the October 2013 LSAT because I wanted to see if there would be an explanation video on it. Is there a way to look for this?

Hi, I am interested in seeing my cumulative Drill scores, is there feature somewhere that I am missing?

Has anyone else this application cycle got rejected from a school they thought they'd get into? I was just rejected from a school today where my LSAT is at the 75th percentile. I'm not sure if this was an example of yield protection or not. It certainly wasn't my first choice but not my last either. I hope I wasn't rejected just because they thought I wouldn't attend.

Hi all,

I unfortunately had to cancel my 7Sage subscription, so I've been using LawHub to take PTs. I'd like to enter my OG choices here on 7Sage, then get my BR score on LawHub. I've run into a problem though, because my sections on LawHub are not the same as the answer sheet here on 7Sage. Thus, I can't tell the difference between the two LR sections, as each have the exact same # of questions. Is there a way to tell the difference between the two or will it just have to be a trial and error thing?

Thanks!

The study schedule includes practice tests 36-45. Should I skip those Practice tests since they are in the drilling pool? Or do I follow the study schedule and take PT 36-45 even though they won't be fresh?

or

Why is (E) the right answer choice here, as opposed to (B)?

Stabilizers: Cheap, preserve consistency, but bad for flavor

Low temperatures: Expensive, preserve consistency, better for flavor

(B) suggests: To save money, we should omit the very low temperatures; just use stabilizers to preserve consistency and don't worry about the flavor

Is the idea that the stimulus just remains neutral on flavor, contrary to what (B) suggests?

The stimulus certainly seems to entail the suggestion that cost considerations would encourage ice cream producers to accept higher temperatures, but the stimulus does not also seem to entail an unequivocal recommendation concerning stabilizer use: Contrary to what (B) suggests, ice cream producers might not use very low temperatures (thus reducing costs) AND also not use stabilizers, thus sacrificing consistency for the sake of flavor.

I assume this must be it: The cost considerations mentioned in the stimulus certainly incentivize higher temperatures, but the stimulus does not also entail an unequivocal recommendation concerning stabilizer use. (B) thus does not follow, unlike (E).

I found many Level 5 questions from PT 1-35 not only difficult but annoyingly silly. Also, looks like many do not even have an explanation video on this forum?

For some reason, I am having a lot of trouble for weakening questions in LR. For me, it is just intuitively hard to wrap my head around and go through the steps of finding unwarranted assumptions and harping on that rather than the argument itself. Therefore, I can get them right if I spend a lot of time on them, but end up half-assing answers when I am timed... Any tips to get over this issue?

So I took a diagnostic test, and I got a 153. My hope is to get a 170 plus in 3 to 4 months depending on if I take the June or August LSAT. I am a junior in college taking 4 (4 credit) classes which aren't too bad, but I am working 32 hours, 16 at one job, 16 at another. I don't really have a day of just not doing anything, so I am trying to study for the LSAT in the afternoons and evenings. I REALLY WANT A 170+ . Anyone in the same boat? Am I doomed or can I do it ? Anyone want to be study partners ? Be honest please ! I am willing to put the work in if I have to.

Can someone explain the percents/proportion relationship that makes B the right answer? I am having a hard time understanding it. #help

Hi, everyone. I was wondering if anyone has tips on how to shave time off for grouping games with unrestricted or undefined variables, ie the bird game that you see under the lessons on grouping. I'm especially interested on how to cut back on time made during the initial setup with inferences. Thanks!

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I find myself having to make myself sit down and study. Almost like an internal battle where I try to do anything BUT study, and I have to literally force myself to study. I wondered what would be the cause of this. I realized it was because of fear. I was procrastinating due to the fear of not understanding the LSAT material or the fear of not being able to improve from my 148 score. I also realized I had a fear of success. If I do master the LSAT and become an attorney, do I have it in me to juggle the demands of being an attorney? I realized I was self-sabotaging myself by not studying. And when I wouldn't study, I would feel miserable and anxious, knowing I was letting myself and my future down. I realized I have to discipline myself to sit down and study, and I am sure my future self will thank me. You will never regret an investment in yourself and in your knowledge! Please let me know if anyone else struggled through this.

I am practicing for an online version of the LSAT and one difficulty I am having is knowing which questions to skip, specifically when unable to easily see the next few questions. For example, on RC or LG it might make sense to skip a game / passage and come back to it later but such a gametime decision is difficult when it takes time to go ahead and look at future questions. Comparatively, in Live Commentary videos, it looks so easy since each side of paper has 4-5 questions.

Any advice?
