Can someone explain to me why B is the correct answer?

I remember reading somewhere that you should show the door in the background of your camera when testing remotely so that the proctor could see it. However, my desk is currently located not in such a position, and I was wondering if previous test takers experienced proctors actually checking that? thank you in advance!! :)

Greetings, 7Sagers!

In logic games im getting a bit confused. When are two items always apart?

for example is the always apart

/j --> k

or is it

j --> /k

or is it both? I've seen JY put a place holder in many in/out games saying these two are always apart but when do you know exactly they're always apart?

Hi,

When I received an email from LSAC that Sanoma will not be compatible, I emailed them right away asking if Big Sur will be supported. I just got a reply that they only know that Sanoma will not be compatible.

As always, LSAC really doesn't help. My August exam had been a huge nightmare, so I'm already very nervous that things may not turn out well at some point in the test procedure.

Does anyone know if Big Sur is compatible with Prometric system? Is there any way I can confirm that?

Hi, I'm having trouble with this passage's last question, which discusses what statement is more likely to be made by a member of Third Party, rather than the Popular Front. I chose C because I think the Third Party focused more on racial issues for African Americans, rather than the Popular Front's retreats on attacks from White Chauvinism. I'd like to know why B, considering that it is more general and less racially focused, would be more in line with the Third Party rather than the Popular Front, who seem more broad and general. My only possible answer is that the Third Party is less appealing to moderates, and the AC B really doesn't appeal to them. But, this does not inform me of why AC C is wrong.

Hi!

The premise for PT61 S4 Q24 says "Most long-term friendships begin because someone felt comfortable approaching a stranger."

I am a bit confused as how to map this out but I think I have an idea.

I initially thought the word "because" would make the idea following the word "because" become on the right side when put into lawgic form:

felt comfortable approaching stranger -> long-term friendship.

However, is it because of the word "Most" that makes the lawgic form become:

friends -most-> felt comfortable approaching stranger

Am I confusing "because, since, and for", by thinking I am looking for premise and conclusion when I already know what the premise is. In other words, am I mixing causal and conditional logic?

Sorry if this sounds confusing as I am having a hard time trying to explain my confusion. :(

Thank you!!!!

Hello,

I am needing advise from the group. Any input is greatly appreciated, especially those of you who had been in my shoes.

I plan to take the June 2024 LSAT, and apply for law school that fall for 2025 entry. I don’t have a lot of time to study because I am working full time, have a brand new baby, and my wife is super busy with her work (she’s a hospital resident). I can probably devote at most 2 hours a day to study, and many days I don’t’ have that time. That’s really not enough time in my opinion to study especially that I am very new to the test, but I am 30 with more and more obligations at home, I feel like if I want to give law school a shot, it’s gotta be now and not later. (I am not trying to say older people shouldn’t go, I just think for me, it’s time).

We know for sure we will be moving back to the St. Louis area after my wife finishes her residency in June of 2025, so school-wise, I really only have three choices, WUSTL, SLU, and Mizzou (I’d have to live as west of STL as possible and have long commute). I have a less than ideal UGPA (3.16), which means WUSTL is going to be far reach even if I get a 170+. So I am pretty much setting a realistic goal of SLU or Mizzou. I think getting into those two schools should be possible if I can get a LSAT of 155-160. My last three practice tests are 146, 153, and 145.

I have been going through the lessons one by one. But I couldn’t help but feel like, in my situation, perhaps I should instead just stick to doing two practice tests a week, and make sure I diligently complete the blind review, and watch explanation videos on all low/high risk questions. As much as I find the lessons helpful, and it’s a long way till June, with limited time I can devote to studying each day , I feel like the lessons may not be for me.

What do you think? Again, I would really appreciate any feedback at all!

any advice on how to get "high" priority questions correct? I always get low priority questions right, regardless of difficulty level, but struggle with the high ones. Especially in LR

EDIT: As of October 24, LSAC says that Sonoma should now be compatible with Prometric’s servers.

Yesterday, we posted an important heads-up on the 7Sage blog for Mac users who are taking the October or November LSAT remotely. I've pasted the article below:

"For anyone planning to take the October or November LSAT remotely, you need to know about a compatibility issue. Prometric, LSAC’s digital testing provider, currently does NOT support macOS Sonoma, Apple's newest operating system.

If you're considering updating your Mac, hold off and remain on macOS Ventura before your exam.

Double-check your Mac's version in About this Mac. Make sure it reads “Ventura.”

If you’ve already upgraded to Sonoma, you have a few options. The most convenient is to borrow someone else’s computer to take the LSAT. If you can’t borrow a computer, you can use an external SSD as a startup disk and format it to run macOS Ventura. If you’re on an Intel mac, you can also use Bootcamp to install Windows to take the LSAT.

Whether you've opted to use another computer, Bootcamp, or an external drive, you should verify your setup's compatibility using the Prometric Testing tool and LSAC Lawhub.

Best of luck, autumn test-takers!"

Just curious about everyone's habits.

PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 18

I got trapped in the cookie cutter AC A , misread it. My reasoning was fine, we need to make a subtle assumption that because the intended function of news is to give us information on which to act, news that primarily entertain does not serve its intended function, and thats given to us in AC D

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

Currently scoring -8-6 in LR. Would ideally like to get that closer to -5-3 before the November test. I know I’m stretching it, but what would the best way to do that be?

4 to 5 of my wrong questions tend to be at the end of the section 4 or 5 star question. Should I just drill that level of question? Would a tutor make a difference in this short of a time?

Thanks for any help!

Hi guys I am creating a group for those who are going to be applying to ontario law school admissions and if you all want us to edit each others personal statements (blind review) or even to talk about anything admission related lmk i am creating a gc on whataspp but could also be open to ig

I know there is 7sage but I have not tried it yet, are there other ones as well that anyone has used?

is there a nov 2023 lsat study group I could be added too?

I have been trying to improve logic games but I end up getting confused sometimes and I just do not know how to improve

I truly believe I can score a 180 (-0) on this test and want to find a study partner with similar delusions.

Necessary Conditions:

currently in the 160s

looking for a study partner

perfection as your goal

can commit to zoom meeting!

taking the November/ January LSAT

Hi!!

Whenever I do Modern test with 1LR, 1LG, and 1RC I get about -5 ~ -6 on LR. However, when I do two LR it is -5/-6 on one LR but about -10/11 in the second one. I see the pattern but I am not sure what the issue could be?

Hi everyone! I just started 7sage as I tried other resources for studying and it was not enough nor useful to be honest.

I am taking the November 2023 LSAT and was wondering if there was anyone who would be interested in doing a virtual study group. Others are definitely welcome!

I just thought it would be nice to be with others in similar boats!

I am scared drills ate giving me false hope. I am able to attempt an answer quicker and eliminate with accuracy. I can get down between answer choices, with one being the right answer ( because before I was eliminating right answers) but on PT's I feel I am not as accurate as when I am drilling. any advice? I have studied the q stems and can easily point out what q type it is. Maybe test anxiety? can anyone offer any help

I've been studying for several months now, and I do pretty damn good on the drills and adhering to time constraints, but when I do the actual preptests i'm missing so much! I don't know if its anxiety or the fact that everything that comes up is hard.. but it's upsetting because I have such great hope for the October LSAT. I don't know what to do.

👥 Study Group Location: Virtual (preferably EST to make things easier!)

🔢 I'm currently scoring: 150 - 160

📆 My planned test date: Jan 2024

🔍 We'll focus on: timing, confidence, PT's, and reading comprehension

I also want to look at the group as an accountability group so we all know we have each other to lean on when things get hard and the journey gets lonely! We understand each other's circumstances and the road we are on, so we should stick together :)

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: zoom

✅ How to join: Message me on 7sage :)

Happy Studying!

From PT B - Section 1 - Question 06.

None except the most virtuous deserve praise

I know it's part of the 4th group, where you negate the necessary. But I've only seen examples like "none of the Americans are political" and there's no video guide for this one.

How does the "except" affect the translation?

I'm unsure if this is supposed to be...

DP -> MV

MV -> DP

Anyone know how I can unsubscribe from a discussion thread without having to unsubscribe from 7sage emails all together?
