When I first did this question, I crossed everything off and was left with E. I almost chose it, and then I thought it felt a lot like a trap AC...

The stimulus is telling us that if a resource becomes scarce, new technologies that create the ability to use new resources arise. As people start using these new alternative resources, the demand for the original resource declines, and whatever amount is then present in that original resource can be sold to those who still want it. Then they give some examples of things that were once the sole resource for a thing, but were then supplemented by other resources. The author asserts that bc new technologies are constantly replacing old ones, (conclusion:) we can never run out of natural resources.

E says that the biological requirements for substances like air and water will not be impacted by technological change. I thought, at first, this meant that "there are some resources that technology cannot replace". But then I second guessed myself and thought, "what do we really care if the biological requirements of that thing-- not the thing itself-- is unaffected by technological change? Even if technology can't change the fact that water needs hydrogen and oxygen to be water, couldn't technology develop different resources that could replace water and air in the future?" Couldn't we use other liquids(not water) or other kinds of energy(not air) to, for example, power things? Is the assumption here that water and air, as necessary for life, are not interchangeable with anything else? Like, if water runs out and technology can't replace it, we CAN run out of important natural resources?

Using the example in the passage of trees: sure, the biological requirements of a tree -- what makes a tree a tree-- is not affected by technology. But we can make steel or plastic, a new substance entirely, to serve the same purpose of that wood.

I ended up choosing C over E after I re-read the ACs because I was thinking that if companies won't invest in the new technologies, they won't be created in the first place. I didn't love the words "at first" and I knew my reading of the AC was assuming things, but I just thought that E was sort of irrelevant but attractive.

Hey yall I just felt like venting on here for a minute, hoping someone might relate to this. I've been studying everyday for the last month for about 5-8 hours a day and honestly feel more like an idiot then when I started. This entire process of studying for this test has just been an endless pit of depression and anxiety. Which brings me to ask this question is this for me? I of course want to be a lawyer and I wouldn't be putting in this effort if ,I didn't really want it but at some point I may have to be realistic with myself. I got a diagnostic score of 141 last month and felt pretty defeated however I gave myself a break and really put all my time in money into trying to increase my score. I've gotten better at understanding question types and really getting a grasp on thinking this way but not enough or as quickly as I need to do well. Also due to family pressure I'm forced to take the October exam so I have a month left to understand this material which I think we all know is not feasible. So I'm most likely going to bad on that and that comes with its own set of issues but I think you all get the gist. Who knows if I'm at your local McDonald's taking your order be kind and put the rest of your change in the tip jar I'm going to need it.

Am currently starting on the RC section and have decided to start from the hardest problem set and work backwards. My rational is that am excited to start RC, so I want to improve on the hardest sets first, thereby allowing me to gain momentum toward the end with the easy sets.

Hi everyone,

I just completed my first PT after going through most of the CC. My scores are quite worrisome. My BR is far better than I could have ever imagined, but my timed score is far lower. I got -13 on logic games when timed, but only -1 on BR untimed. I am taking the LSAT in October and November. How can I fix my logic games issue by then?

This link will send you to a screenshot of my scores: https://i.imgur.com/qNAihT3.png

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to establish a small group (6 or so) who is interested in studying 4 times a week for about an hour. We will be rotating sections and reviewing questions together to improve our understanding, make the LSAT studying process more social and, dare I say, have a good time. I’m hoping to get a range of people from 150s-170s. If you’re interested please comment below!

In college, I originally started with a major I wasn't well-suited to. I later changed my major but I had taken enough courses for that major that I could get a minor in it by just taking a few more upper-division classes P/NP. I ended up doing this and taking a number of additional courses P/NP for my minor. I recently found out that some law schools view a P as a C or just don't look favorably at a P. I'm stressed about how these additional courses I took will be viewed. Does anyone know what an acceptable number of P/NP courses is? Also, should I submit a GPA addendum or some kind of addendum regarding the upper division classes I took P/NP? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, kinda in a dilemma. I took the August LSAT with only going through about 35hrs of 7Sage lessons. I'm fully prepared to cancel that score and I already signed up for the October LSAT, which I should be done with all the 7Sage lessons before taking that one. I’m not sure if I should take it a 3rd time in November, I’m afraid I won't score in the range I desire for my applications with the October test. The deadline to sign up is Septemeber 29, before the October test so that's why I’m stressed. Is this a bad idea? Or is trying for a higher score with more practice in Novemeber the right choice? #Help

Throughout school I took tests with pen and paper, so all of my testing strategy habits utilize pen and paper (crossing ACs out, putting dots next to an AC I think is correct but I don't want to commit to yet, etc). I have been working to transfer these strategies to the virtual format, but I reeeaally don't like having to take the LSAT with a computer. It's not super easy to do after using pen and paper for K-12 standard tests and all of undergrad. I feel like I have to relearn habits which were mechanic before, and it's wearing me down a bit.

Does anyone have any tips on what has been helpful for them? I have tried writing out A-E on paper, but this is a waste of time and scratch paper that I can't afford while taking a practice test. I am only 2 years out of college, so I feel like a lot of people may share this issue with me. Any advice would be appreciated!

So here's some context:

I started studying for LSAT 2 weeks ago and got a 158 on my diagnostic. Main weakness being RC (by far).

And I want to know if it's a good idea to skip through parts of core curriculum like the LR problem sets to quickly get to sections I actually struggle on. I'm planning to take LSAT during next cycle.

Thank you all

Hi,

I have an international transcript sending to LSAC. When my school send the transcript they use DHL shipping which cannot ship to a PO box address. So they send my transcript to

Law School Admission Council

662 Penn Street

Newtown, PA 18940

USA

But it seems LSAC has different departments. (LLM JD and maybe Tax/HR department) And I guess some front desk has received my transcript package. They tracking records showed it has been delivered 10 days ago but I received Nothing confirmation from LSAC.

Do you think the transcript department will still able to get my trancript?

I am really worried now.

Thanks

If I have an LOR from work does that job have to be on my resume when I apply to schools?

The LOR is impressive. But the job is not as impressive as my other work experience.

Hello everyone,

I recently took the Nov 2021 LSAT and had a severe panic attack in the very first. It was so bad I asked the test proctor if I could forgo the whole test, she told me to take a moment and resume when I was ready. So I basically sat there for 30 minutes trying to compose myself. After that everything is just foggy. I was able to get through the test but ended up scoring 10-15 points below my PT's. I have never seen any type of mental health doctor, but I'm seriously considering it after that episode. If anyone has any advice one who should I see or what steps i should take feel free to reply or message me.Thank you guys!

Hello all,

I am currently PTing around the 157 mark, a vast improvement from the 143 I started with. However, I plan on taking the October exam with a goal score of 163-165 which should comfortably put me in range of my goal school(s). On BR, I am able to hit that goal with relative ease and sometimes sneak into the high 160s. I am able to finish each section with time constraints, but often my worst section is RC (avg -9) followed by LG and LR which range from (-3- -7). Any advice on narrowing the gap between my timed score and BR score?

I BR every question except games I'm positive I got a prefect score on, which might inflate my BR score.

Hi all!

I'm going on my 5th attempt at the LSAT (it's been a long and difficult journey for me!) I'd love to hear from some other people who are also in this position or were also in this position at some point. I just have a few questions!

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

I really need assistance in understanding this lesson: Basic Translation: Group 4

I am not clear on two things.

How do you understand that None is an indicator and not negation.

ex. /A->ADP instead of your choice of A->ADP ?

The rule states to pick either idea and translate. I am confused with step 3 and step 4.

Hey,

I've heard that sorting for your weak LR types and drilling these questions can be highly beneficial. My question is -- should I have experienced these questions within their full sections before employing them for drills? Or can I safely use material from untouched, old PTs and still get a lot of value out this practice? I'm writing the LSAT for the first time in November so I fear I won't have the time to work through all those ancient PTs, but I don't want to waste valuable material needlessly.

If it's no issue, where should I draw the line for which old PTs to use for this purpose? (pre 52, 40 , 30 etc.)

Thanks

Can anyone please help me with PT1.S3.Q10 and PT1.S3.Q14?

As many of you have probably noticed, the previous admissions cycle was bolstered by many more applicants, the most since -- I believe -- 2011. As a result, scorers in the 170+ range increased dramatically. Surely, this is going to result in deferred candidates taking spots at the top schools of already limited applicant pools. In addition, while ABA 509s from 2020 are available, we are missing data for the most recent cycle. After perusing through the social medias of top schools, I have found that Harvard's incoming class boasts a new median LSAT of 174 and GPA 3.92. Georgetown similarly shot up from a 168 LSAT to 171! With LSAT registrants for this year matching or increasing from the previous year, I am worried we may see another -- even worse -- cycle for the T14 schools.

Does anyone have any educated opinions regarding LSAT registrant data or potential competitiveness at top-tier institutions? If so, what are some potential ways that people can overcome and stand out amongst everyone else?

Hello everyone,

I have been contemplating going back to my older tests and making sections out of my incorrect LR questions to redo them. But I want to make sure I am making the most out of the process.

How do you retake your incorrect LR questions to understand and correct your patterns?

Thanks!

Should I do the prep tests as I move through the core curriculum, or is it best to wait until I have gone over all the topics/lessons?

Any veterans know whether we're supposed to disclose letters of counseling or reprimand?

Why are the explanation videos taking too long to upload or not at all? Thanks

Hello everyone,

I don't get the correct answer choice for this question. Initially, I thought the argument part is the background problem that the stimulus is resolving. Let me know your thoughts on how to get to the right answer.

Does anyone know if the October 2021 LSAT is just a normal LSAT or is it LSAT-flex?

I took the August test and I don't feel very confident about it so I registered for the October test. I am wondering whether it would be better to reschedule for November so I can have an extra month to study and improve even more. The only thing I am worried about is that if it would be considered late to apply in December. I really feel that my LR and LG are starting to click and my best scores in each section are -2 and -3, the only area I struggle with is RC. I feel that if I invest an extra month to RC, I may be able to bring it down to between -5 and -8. What would you guys do? Thanks
