So I understood that to weaken the claim against alternative medicine in the stimulus, I needed to find an answer showing any evidence that alternative medicine is effective. I also see that D does this in a more specific way than C.

I was stuck between C and D, but I ultimately eliminated D because it didn’t specifically connect alternative medicine to the bodily effects of a patient believing in their treatment. For D to be right, I’d have to assume that the “medical treatment” the patient believes in is alternative medicine, and not orthodox medicine.

I chose C because it actually connects alternative medicine to an “effect,” even if that effect is something less tangible like hope. D would be a much better answer if it explicitly connected a patient's belief in alternative medicine to bodily effects, but it doesn't. It just describes the effects of a patient's belief in their medical treatment, which could be either alternative or orthodox medicine.

When I’m choosing between two answers, I’ve learned to choose the answer that requires me to make fewer assumptions and leaps. But this question is making me question that entire strategy. How can I safely assume that the “medical treatment” in answer choice D refers to alternative medicine? There isn't anything in the stimulus, question stem, or answer choice that allows me to make that assumption, so I must be missing something.

Can anyone help me understand how it's a warranted assumption that "medical treatment" in D refers to alternative medicine? I'm stumped.

When solving, "Sequencing Game w/a Twist Problem Set 2," for example, I ended up solving these games multiple times. When I click view results, immediately after testing myself, it will show me the results that I just got. But when I exit out and come back and press view results, it shows me the results for my first attempt. Further, it will not allow me to page forward or backward with the arrows to look at the results for each of my other attempts.

I'm pretty sure I got this working correctly once. But not sure how...

Hi all,

If you're interested in joining a study group where all we do is co-work on zoom, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!

This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support. (This is especially a great group if you struggle with ADHD, anxiety/ are neurodivergent or not!)

If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

stagnant in LR

Hi, so to give a little background.

I've been studying for about two months going from 151 diagnostic to 164 currently. I'm proud of my progress with RC being my best naturally and I've seen the most gains in LG, though I definitely need to improve there as well. LR has been my toughest opponent and probably what I've spent the most time on. I currently sit at around -4 to -7, progressing from an initial -10. The biggest thing I see is my problem accuracy is not very much of a pattern. My wrong questions are always different types and another thing is I see I often get like 3-4 of my wrong answers in a row. I was looking for any tips to address improvement at this current performance point in LR. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Not too sure if I'm the only one that thinks there should be an option to add titles to drills. I often make drills specific to a question type or game type and it would be so easy and helpful having the ability to title my drills so when I go back and redo them.

Hello,

I'm coming on here to ask how often should we be taking prep tests? Should they be taken after learnign the material from each section as a whole, or every subsection? How about drilling? What's a good schedule like?

+) EDIT: problem solved

Leaving this here for anyone with the same issue - just allow all the site settings for 7sage.com. This worked for me.

Hi, I have a problem accessing the explanation video for P1 / LG / G1 (But I assume it'll be the same with all other content.) I use Chrome and there are no internet issues.

What happens is I hear the audio, and I see the blue mouse pointer going around the screen, but no visuals.

Referring to one of the discussions here I have tried changing the Video Player settings via my profile - tried both Basic and Classic - the video keeps loading, and nothing happens.

Any help here? Would be much appreciated.

I keep bombing at LR. No matter which question types I drill, I keep getting half or more than half wrong. I write in the Blind Review / Wrong Answer Journal. I blind review each question. But even in blind review I still get the question wrong! What is discouraging is seeing the stats on Curve column an seeing that no one or a small percentage of people got the same answer choice as I did. Then looking at the scorers on the same Curve column, I see its a question that was in the 130s to 140s (an "easy" question), which makes it more discouraging. I have been taking my time, not using the stop clock, and STILL get so many wrong!

My strength is in LG, which for every game, I get -0 to -1 wrong, both timed and un-timed. A bit of background: I have some computer coding skills under my belt, so LG reminds me a lot of when I would create code in Python and Javascript. I prefer to see logic as "If X, then Y" terminology as it is easier for me to understand the flow. Is there a way I can use my LG brain to work for me in LR?

I have noticed a peculiar trend where the LR questions that I tend to miss most are not the ones that I flag but instead the random other ones. I realized that I almost never miss the questions I flag but I miss the ones that I don't flag.

Hi everyone!

I'm wondering if anyone who has experience with LSAC's CAS Service knows if whether before or after you pay for it you can upload your Personal Statements and Addendums?

I am taking the Oct and Nov LSAT but I haven't taken a practice test in a month. I keep planning on taking them but then I get scared seeing if my score won't increase. Does anyone else go through this or know how to overcome it? I know I have to take them in order to improve my score but I am scared to see no improvement after another month of studying and doing better on my drills.

I usually do well on Logical reasoning from questions 1 to 15 but I seem to consistently get the answer wrong , for some reason its like the same technique I use on these questions do not work the same after question 15, is there any advice on how to improve specifically on Logical Reasoning questions after 15?

Does anyone know if being on your college's Honor Council is generally considered a strong extracurricular? I've been wondering this for a while, but I haven't found any information about it online. I had a leadership position on W&M's Honor Council, and I was hoping that would stand out a bit on my applications.

Hi peeps

I created a discord server for more LSAT study peeps, no matter the score. We don't gatekeep here. It's Legally Blonde themed, and I think it'll be a big help! Here's what I have to offer:

Lots of materials, videos, and resources all in one channel for easy readability

Daily drilling with practice questions

Future study group sessions

Virtual study rooms along with a study bot that can help you create an organized task list.

A bot that can also uplift you and give you some positive vibes when you need to save your sanity.

A group of other people just like you going through the same mental war hoping to get into law school.

A person who truly cares and worked 7 and a half hours on this place because she genuinely wants you to do your best :')
