I'm having trouble justifying why only C is correct in this MC question.

My understanding is that Anita's conclusion is that the journalistic guidance Marcus cites is inadequate. So wouldn't both A and B also be satisfactory answers here? Both say that the guidance Marcus cites is bad, either by saying the guidance is not clear in all ethical dilemmas (A) or that the guidance is not correct in all ethical dilemmas (B). Both clear and correct are used in the guidance cited by Marcus.

Is my mistake misunderstanding how the word inadequate is used here? So, Anita saying the guidance is inadequate does not mean Anita thinks it is not correct in all dilemmas or not clear in all dilemmas? But to me, both situationally incorrect and situationally unclear mean the guidance is inadequate!

Sorry if this confusing. I'm confused. To be clear, I understand why C is correct.

I am a splitter with 3ish GPA and 172. After seeing people bashed by this vicious cycle, I decided to retake my LSAT in August. Looking for 1-3 study buddies shooting for 175+

Hey guys please dm me!! I have an official score looking for serious study buddies!! I also offer free tutoring, dm if needed

I just got accepted yesterday!!! Thanks 7Sage

Which PTs do people drill from? and where do people start taking fresh PTs from? I have heard differing opinions so interested to hear what people think is the best?

Hello, all! I'm looking to form a study group for the June test, which will be my first time taking it. I haven't made much progress at all on completing the course on 7Sage. I'm thinking of spending 15-20 hours per week on studying. Comment if being a part of this group would be of any interest to you. Thanks!

Is there no LSAT being offered in July 2022? Isn't there usually?

Is there a difference in meaning between the following two statements?

Superficially, they seem to mean the same. But if I were to diagram them out, they do seem to differ in meaning.

Iam the new test taker my plan is to attempt the June LSAT...anyone interested to study with me can message....i have a flexible schedule and i studyy for about 3 4 hours a day. Need some Focus and concentration for cracking the exam...My goal is to get 172+

Hello all,

So today was score release day and I'm devastated. I was really hoping to make it before this application cycle was over, but my score today was in the minimum score range of all of my perspective schools. I don't know what to do- every single PT exam I take I score within the 160-170 range, and then every time I take the real exam I score in the 150s. I am so utterly frustrated! I don't know how to close this gap, and extreme test anxiety doesn't help. I think I am going to have to go at this for another year and try again next app cycle. Does anyone have any advice for how to help my actual score reflect PT scores?

Hey everyone,

After receiving my goal score on the January administration, it is time to hang up my LSAT cleats. With that comes a bittersweet departure from the 7sage community. Before doing so I want to check on a small administrative detail. Will my data be deleted when I close down my account? Only curious on the off chance I were to reopen the account. Best of luck to everyone going forward.

Hey y'all-- hope everyone is having a good Wednesday!

I just wanted to make a quick announcement about this week's LSAT Tips newsletter, which you can read here: https://7sage.substack.com/p/lsat-tips-to-retake-or-not

In this week's edition, I write about whether or not retaking the LSAT is a good option.

I hope it's helpful!

Hello,

I just got a 165 in jan 2022 lsat, and I want to improve from 165 -> 170 by August.

I'm an international student whose primary language is not English, so I seem to struggle a lot in RC (typically from -8 to -4).

I'm looking for a RC tutor who can help me improve my RC skills!

I love your content and it has been very helpful. However, you need a de-esser really bad. It will clean up your audio and get rid of the harsh "ess" noises. It really hurts my ears. R.i.p. headphone users. Does this bother anyone else?

I just got my January 2022 LSAT score of a 166. This was a retake, and I first took the LSAT in October 2020 and got a 165. My goal was a 168-170. I am disappointed but whatever. I really really don’t want to take this again while working full time. I’m thinking of applying this September for the next cycle or throwing in a few applications right now for this cycle. I have a 3.9 GPA, graduated from a top-4 public college, and have a rare physical disability which is what my personal statement is about FWIW.

I applied last cycle with my 165 and didn’t get in anywhere except GWU (but no scholarship). I did get waitlisted at Penn and Michigan fwiw. I am determined to going to law school and would like to get a good amount of scholarship money if I can. It’s just a matter of when. I’m looking at the lower t-14 to t-20s-30. I’m casting a wide net for schools.

Should I even throw in a few applications for this cycle right now or just wait entirely until September? I am very conflicted. Thanks.

Having a bit of trouble understanding why A is correct (I originally chose C). Could someone clarify? Thank you!

Stim:

Ctx: Foundation didn't want their $ to be used for weapons research so uni said none of their $ would be used for the research

P: None of foundation's $ would benefit weapons research

C: Foundation rescinded threat

ACs:

C - I didn't love this AC, but chose it because none of the others initially seemed correct to me. Descriptively, it is accurate in that the foundation overlooked this possibility that the uni was lying, but I mean it's a short argument, I'm sure they could've overlooked several things.

I wonder if this C almost attacks the premise in a way - Like, okay sure what if the uni was lying? Then the foundation's grant money would DIRECTLY benefit weapons research. Is this the right way of thinking about it?

A - I googled around and saw some explanations for why A was correct, but my struggle is that the crux of why this AC is correct is that it hinges on the nuance of direct vs indirect benefit. I didn't even think about indirect benefit until reading explanations for this AC, but wondering if that's a common theme of "direct" vs "indirect" when it comes to certain flaw questions?

I'm discouraged because of my January score. I was extremely sick at the time (with Covid) and my score is much lower than I was making on my practice tests. I'm already signed up to retake for the February exam, which is in 10 days, because I want to apply to law school before the March 15th priority deadline. But now I'm doubting myself and rethinking everything and thinking maybe I should wait and retest in the Fall and apply for the next cycle. I just really wanted to go to law school this Fall...

By type I mean MBT, Sufficient Assumption, etc. Just curious if you guys first identify it, then solve the question in a way that is unique to each type of question (diagramming, finding the assumption, etc.). If so I think I will memorize most of the question stems before attempting another full LR section haha

By problem sets I mean the LR ones with 5 questions each, usually in the middle range (in the numbered list of problem sets). I feel like my brain is burning out too quickly considering that I would have to solve 50 LR questions on the real LSAT.

Also, how many "3+ difficulty" questions are there usually in a single LR section (approx. 25 questions total)? I'm getting -1 or -0 on problem sets with questions below or equal to "3 difficulty" but getting more than 1 wrong in sets with questions with "3+ difficulty" and am scared :/

Any help would be very appreciated, thanks guys.

Hi 7Sagers. I'm taking my first attempt in February and I was curious how people handled different instances of things going wrong during the test: things like misreading or missing a rule during a logic game, not having enough time to get to all your LR questions, not understanding an RC passage well, etc?

I'm trying to make a plan for how I would handle things if they go wrong in order to decrease my anxiety so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am signed up for the March 2022 exam and would love any advice on my situation:

My goal score is a 170, and I have taken 6 full PTs (five in the 70s and one in the 80s) scoring in the 162-165 range with my blind review scores in the 172-177 range. My typical-timed breakdown is:

-1 to 0 LG

-4 to -3 in LR

-10 to -8 in RC

Given that we’re a little under 6 weeks away, would improving to my goal score before the March test be doable?

If so, what else could I be working on given the time span? My focus is surely on RC along with 1-2 full PTs/week with thorough review (and rewatching recorded takes). Thank you in advance! 🙏

Can I connect LSAT law hub with multiple third party test sites? I have mine connected with Powerscore already, but I feel like 7Sage is better and want to switch but do not want to lose all the questions and test taking history saved on powerscore...

Does anyone else like genuinely think differently after all these months of studying for the LSAT, like I cannot listen to people talk sometimes without evaluating their speech and criticizing their use of logic silently in my head LMAO the lawgic lessons are just always in my brain now

Sometimes I see like 10 quizzes back to back on the same topic in the curriculum. Once I believe I understand it, should I still be doing the quizzes, or skip over some and not do all of them... What worked for everyone else on here?

Hi there! I created a post a few days again about a PST based study group for the June 2022 LSAT specifically focused on those who are seeking a 180. Here is a link to the original post: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/31609/for-those-looking-for-a-180-discord-study-group-for-june-2022-exam/p1.

I'm making another post to reach more people who are interested in joining and being active participants on this discord server. Also, as the title mentions, Scott Milam, who scored a 180 himself, kindly accepted my offer to join and participate on the discord. He has his own channel where you can ask him questions directly. And in the near future I plan on organizing a group video call session to speak with him and hear more about his journey and what it was like getting a 180. He is very much looking forward to meeting other determined students with their goals set on a 180.

If you want to be part of a serious study group where we delve into LR, RC, and LG topics, talk strategy and logic, and review PTs together, please message me demonstrating your interest.

Thank you and look forward to being in contact.

Hi!

So, last week I took a practice test and scored a 171, which I was pretty surprised about. I've taken about 4-5 PTs in all and expected to be around the mid 160s given my previous scores.

Today, I took another test and got a 165.

Long story short, is it normal to have this type of fluctuation, or was the 171 a fluke? Do you all experience that type of change in score as well?

I felt equally confident during both, and I'm feeling discouraged now that my score didn't increase as much as I thought it had :(
