Premise 1: Clark brand name parts are made for cars manufactured in this country.

Premise 2: they satisfy all the government's automotive tests.

Premise 3: for foreign made parts, you never know which one might be cheap look-alike and reliable.

Conclusion: you should prefer Clark brand name parts to foreign made parts.

The question is asking for the necessary assumption of the stimulus. I picked the right answer. But, upon second look, I think even the right answer, strictly speaking, seems to be wrong....

Answer C, the supposedly right answer, states that "parts that satisfy our government standards are not as poorly constructed as the cheap foreign-made parts".

It doesn't seem to me the negation of this answer choice necessarily undermines the original argument. For I read the premise 3 of the stimulus as only implying that, in contrast to foreign made parts, you COULD KNOW which one might be cheap look-alike and reliable in the case of Clark brand name parts, which means Clark brand name parts could contain cheap and unreliable parts just as foreign made ones do. The only difference is you can tell the difference in the case of former, but not the latter. For answer C to be the necessary assumption of the original argument, however, we need to read that premise 3 as implying that Clark brand name parts are INDEED NOT cheap look-alike and reliable, which seems to me a bit too strong an inference to be made.

Furthermore, nothing in the stimulus implies that cheap and unreliable foreign-made parts cannot satisfy the government automotive standards.

Can someone help point out if I miss anything? Am I reading too much into the stimulus?

I recently broke into my goal score of 172-3 last week on 3 PTs (88,92,93) and had been getting 166-168 before that but this week I took two PTs (85/87) and both of them I dropped down to 165-66...I'm taking the June exam and I'm so nervous...I usually don't really have an issue with timing (have 2-5 minutes after sections to go back and review) but on PT85 and 87 I had such a big problem with timing to the point that I had just 30 seconds left to answer the last LR and RC questions.

On PT85 I had gotten -2 on RC but -6/-7 on each LR sections while I got -7 on RC and -2/-6 on LR for PT87. LR and RC tend to be my weaker spots but usually at MOST I would get -5 wrong. Even LG games where I tend to get 0 wrong, I got up to 2 wrong.

I've been studying 2-3hrs everyday (I work full time) since February but had been studying 6 days a week since October. I usually take a PT every Sunday but have ramped it up to every Sat + Sun since last month. My weekday study schedule is switching between 2 timed LR sections + 2 RC passages + 1 LG game and 2 timed RC sections + 15 LR Q + 1 LG game.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong....I wasn't able to study as hard as usual this week because of work commitments but I still feel like a 7pt drop is pretty substantial.

Please if anyone has any insights to why such fluctuations happen, how to overcome, best practices, anything -- would appreciate it

I am consistently hitting the high 150s, but my BR score is in the 170's consistently. Are there any methods to close the gap between these two scores? I feel like I'm choking very hard when the actual exam happens, because during BR the right answer speaks to me way more than during test time. Perhaps its because I've seen the stimulus before, but I'm not quite sure what to do!

Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!

Please note that each administration’s registration deadline is also the last day to request disability-related testing accommodations, assistive technology, a free Test Date Change, and/or a full refund.

Each administration’s discounted test date change deadline is also the last day to request a partial $50 refund.

After the discounted test date change deadline, you may continue to request test date changes for the full registration fee of $222. Your request must be made by 11:59 p.m. (ET) the day before testing begins.

If you find you are unable to take the LSAT after the test date change and refund deadlines have passed, please withdraw your registration through your LSAC online account by 11:59 p.m. (ET), the day before you are scheduled to test. Withdrawing your registration will prevent an absentee notation from appearing on your LSAC file.

Given the expressed preference of the substantial majority of test takers, the LSAC will continue to provide the LSAT in an online, live remote-proctored format.

when should I start taking full length practice tests? I have completed over half of the logical reasoning in core curriculum but not sure when to start taking full length PTs. Have not taken a PT since the diagnostic

Hello! I registered for Jan 2024 LSAT but have not received any info on what testing centre I will be writing at . Does anyone know when we will get this info?

I just renewed the LSAC Prep Plus, and 7sage is saying I stilll need to renew it, how do I link my 7sage account to the LSAC prep plus. Please let me know, thanks

Hi guys! I saw that LSAC just released registration for the rest of the 2023 and 2024 LSAT dates. They've given a remote option and a testing center option.Has anyone on here taken an LSAT at a testing center, and if so how did that go? I can't decide if remote or the center would be best. Thanks!

I didn't get this question but I would love to see anyone's thought process and how you arrive at the conclusion.

I am unable to access the video explanation for PrepTest February 1997 - Section 3 - Question 16

I wanted to ask if anyone had access to the revisited crystal ball for the June 2023 LSAT? I would really appreciate that resource. Thank you.

Do you guys go in order when answering RC questions? Would be appreciative if someone could give me examples of their strategy. At a bit of a RC slump.

My 7Sage account won't let me link it to the admissions consulting payment plans. However, when I go to purchase the package in full, the account is automatically connected.

pls help

Hi all!

I'm having troubles really focusing and staying on schedule. In the past, I've been more successful when I know there is someone else checking in on me. So, I'm looking to see if anyone wants an accountability partner/study buddy (or group)! It can be anything from just checking in weekly to make sure we each have done what we need to or studying and reviewing questions together. I'm thinking of taking the LSAT in September or October, depending on how ready I feel.

Hey all, I am looking to see if anyone is interested in joining (or if there exists) a south Texas LSAT study group.

Primarily between the 361 to 956 area codes.

I don't see any study buddy postings for these south Texas cities, so I figure I'd try and get the ball rolling here.

Join 7Sage admissions consultant Tajira McCoy on Wednesday, May 24 at 8pm ET for a special installment in a series of discussions with law school admissions deans from across the country. For this conversation, hear from representatives of Boston College, Emory University, Loyola University Chicago, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Richmond, and the University of San Diego, as they take a look at the recently released update to law school rankings by US News & World Report.

Register here: https://7sage.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_meEZ5NgcS8KQGqfBa0_N8A.

Note: this webinar will be recorded and added to the podcast after being edited for sound quality.

The title is all. Am I allowed to cover just the timer with a small post-it or something while taking the actual test?

Could someone explain their thought process in getting the correct answer? I debated between A and B and eventually settled for B because I thought the very last line is the Conclusion. #help

I have yet to sit down and do full length PTs. I've been studying using the drill feature - so I'll do 2 games, 1/2 LR, 2 passages, etc. - and I'll complete parts of the PT little by little. I completed all sections of PT 70, but still unable to see my score?

Can I only see my score when I sit down and do full length PTs? Or will I only see my scores if I study going Practice > PrepTests > doing 1 section at a time?

I want to keep track of my PT scores without doing full PTs just yet and utilizing the drill feature. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I applied to law school in late December and sent a January LSAT score (162). I was accepted to a #50 ranked law school with a ~30-40K/year conditional scholarship. I deposited and have been planning to attend in the fall. For context: this school was not my first choice school, and I have been secretly harboring a desire to transfer after my first year if I'm unhappy and do well with my coursework. I've been trying to suppress this "transfer fantasy" and start school with the intention of staying because from what I've read it's impossible to predict one's 1L grades.

Recently, I started to rethink my plans. I can't help but feel jealous of some of my friends who are starting law school at programs I'd love to attend. Shouldn't I feel more excited about the program I am planning to attend? Simultaneously, I love my new job and am in a happier and healthier place than I've been in a long time. As I think about moving, I can't help but feel like I'm giving up on my potential to attend a higher-ranked program that might be a better fit for my career aspirations. What if, I've been thinking, I defer my offer, work another year, and save up more money for school. I could also invest in LSAT tutoring (something I haven't tried yet) and retake the LSAT in the hopes of getting a higher score and reapply to some of my dream programs. For context: I previously applied for law school and studied for the LSAT alongside a very demanding job. I now have much more free time and bandwidth to study. I could also spend the year getting mentally prepared for school. For me this means, seeing friends and family, traveling, and pursuing personal goals.

I know it is very challenging to increase one's LSAT score, so as I weigh this decision I want to be realistic about how much I can improve. I would admittedly be disappointed if I didn't improve my score and ended up in a similar (or worse) position a year from now. And when looking at the numbers, the reality is only a small fraction of folks get above a 165. I do have a strong GPA and career experience working in my favor.

So... what would you do if you were me? Go? Or wait a year, retake the LSAT, and reapply?

Hi! Could someone please explain why E is the correct answer? I would love to see everyone's understanding/explanation! Here is what I thought, which turns out to be incorrect but I still don't get why E is right.

PaI - Disagree over Interpret which news is newsworthy

S: Reporters pick which events they want to report (newsworthy) and for how long is the reporting, so they always interpret the news (preliminary)

Ramon: Reporters -> /Interpret the news. Once they decide a news is newsworthy, they better give me the full info.

So Sarah says the act of considering which news is newsworthy is already the beginning of interpretation, Ramon says the interpretation begins after a news is decided to be newsworthy.

A. Every time they report it? They might or might not, this is digging too deep

B. Sarah disagrees, Ramon agrees “once they deem a story to be newsworthy”

C. Irrelevant

D. Ramon no comment, he only cares about newsworthy

E. Ramon no opinion

I only have a few more days on my LSAC subscription and I renewed it, but it still says I need to renew it. Does it take a few days to register or do I need to do something manually to show that I renewed it?

I know, for certain, that logic games are my weakest point. It seems like if I follow the curriculum as it's presented, I won't get to the logic games for quite a while. I plan on doing one practice test a week in conjunction with studying, so to me it makes sense to do logic games first so I can actually practice what I've learned instead of trying to come up with bad/ineffective strategies on my own during the practice tests.

In terms of 7Sage curriculum specifically, is it recommended to go out of order like that? I'm almost done with the foundation lessons and I'm about to take my first practice test, so now is the perfect time to plan out my schedule.

Thanks in advance!

help what is the current format of the last (# of sections) and section type?

Hi,

I am looking for the current 7Sage tutor list. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
