A->B

When I see A->B structure in the stimulus,

The right answers should be

  • A->B
  • /B->/A (contrapositive)
  • The wrong answers should be

  • A->/B (logical negation?)
  • /B->A (logical negation?)
  • /A->/B (mistaken negation)
  • B->A (mistaken reversal)
  • And these are irrelevant (could be true) ?

  • /A->B
  • B->/A
  • 0

    For me it takes 10 (and 1/8th?) Dixon Ticonderogas in black (bc the erasers are better and black is cool). Just cleaning some stuff out and remembered I'd been saving these in my "used" pencil shot glass... just the ones I used on games. Different way to visualize that while we can tweak methods for individual efficiency, and it may seem hopeless sometimes, you ultimately just need to put in the work and have faith in the process. Eventually, maybe like 10 pencils in (or likely less for anyone besides me), you'll get there.

    Took the April LSAT and have given myself time off from studying until now. I am not sure I will retest (waiting until I find out my score to register for June), and I am not sure where to start studying again. Any advice on how folks have started studying a second time would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi All,

    I'm wondering how I should prioritize my time in order to get the most out of 7Sage. For reference I am scoring in the low-150s now, and am hoping to score in the low 160s by the time I take the August 2021 LSAT. Of the two strategies listed below, which strategy might be the most efficient way to spend my time studying?

  • Aim to complete every learning module first, and then move on to drilling Practice Tests?
  • Split my time somewhat evenly between modules and tests?
  • I do pretty poorly on the LG and LR Sections, so my gut is telling me that drilling practice tests without some major foundational work on those sections would not be the best use of my time. However, I don't want to spend so much time on modules that I miss out on the experience of gaining the test-taking stamina, practicing under time constraints, etc. that comes with drilling Practice LSATs.

    I'm open to any and all takes :)

    Thank you!

    When my writing sample time was up, I looked over my submission again and realized I freaking left a draft paragraph in there!! There are basically two iterations of a paragraph, but they make slightly different points. I'm irritated with myself for such a small yet confusing mistake (it's not clear which is the one to be deleted). What should I do now? Can I schedule a retake for this? I doubt it but want to ask y'all anyway. I'm planning to retake the LSAT and rewrite the essay, but are both samples going to be sent with my score? Thoughts on how I can rectify? TIA!

    Hi, I really struggle to see why (A) doesn't weaken the first sentence in the stimulus "Tenants who do not have to pay their own electricity bills do not have a financial incentive to conserve electricity."

    I find "by paying more rent" in A somewhat ambiguous; does it mean that the rent increase as more electricity the tenants used? Or, does it mean the rent for the tenant is more than that for other tenants who need to pay for their electricity?

    I thought that, for the tenants who don't need to pay rent, paying more rent is itself a financial disincentive to waste energy, and thus it is a incentive to not to waste (conserve) energy. Am I mistaken somewhere?

    Could anyone help explain these two questions? Thank you very much.

    Hey everyone! I am honestly getting discouraged and would like to have a study buddy so we can encourage each other! My scores are not particularly high at all, but I think I still have time! Hmu if feel kind of lost because I know I do lol.

    When you go in to BR questions, there's a box at the bottom of the A/C that allows you to type in your own notes.

    I'd love to be able to transfer these saved notes to a separate document later if needed, but currently CTRL+C doesn't seem to work here. I'm guessing it might have ST to do with us not being allowed to CTRL+C the questions and answers themselves.

    Site admins, is there a way you could make it possible for us to just copy our own study notes from questions?

    Hi everyone,

    We are rolling out an update tonight at roughly 9pm PDT, 12am midnight ET that will log everyone out. After the logout, you should be able to login immediately.

    Because of the logout, please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set during this time so that your work is not interrupted.

    If you are in the middle of a PrepTest or Problem Set at the time of the update, the tester should detect the logout and ask you to refresh the page. However, you may lose your last minute of work.

    Sorry for the trouble!

    @jenleeva had a good question about the first LR section of PT 39, Q12, and I'm also stumped:

    "How do we know that 'not right' = 'wrong'? And vice versa? Wouldn’t 'not wrong' logically have a neutral option?

    #help "

    Hello,

    I want to re-buy the yearly 7sage course; however, it says that my account is not bundled with Prep Plus through my LSAC account. I'm wondering how I bundle with Prep Plus so that I can have access to all the materials. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hey guys,

    I recently finished most of the core curriculum (I didn't finish the grouping games nor start the RC because I got burnt out and was ready to start doing some PTs to see where I stand. I started with a 153 diagnostic and just scored a 161 and 164 on my first two PTs. I plan to take roughly 6 PTs a week - and BR those - until I take the Flex in June, as well as piece away at the RC part of the curriculum over the next 2 weeks. I'm curious if you guys think it is possible to hit 170's by June and if my study plan adequately sets me up to reach this goal.

    I average around a 151 ... got really lucky getting into SMU ... made my tuition deposit ... ... what worries me is the COA ($245 k including undergrads loans) ... don’t know if I can get a better deal by reapplying .... SMU gives out very little money ... all the other Texas schools I saw even A&M gave out little money ....

    I feel like this admission cycle was

  • Very competitive compared to previous years
  • Not a lot of full rides w/ stipends were given out
  • I feel like next year will be more competitive... and we will definitely see more people scoring 170+ than this year

    I’m seriously trying to practice in the state of Texas ... but don’t know if reapplying to even a NY school here that is free ... would give me any shot at practicing in Texas in the future

    If I were to take on that debt at SMU ... the REPAYE payment plan would be an option if I don’t end up making enough for a 10/20 year repayment plan

    Open to all opinions

    Hey everyone. I'm gearing up to begin studying for my second LSAT and this time around I'm planning on using 7sage. Last summer I took a TestMasters Course, but after speaking to others I believe that 7sage will be a much better resource. I have two concerns about this switch though. One, I'm worried that I might be wasting a lost of time retouching on core curriculum. I certainly need a refresher on the content, but I don't know how much time is worth relearning strategies when I could be PT'ing. Second, I'm unsure of which practice tests I took in the past, and if it's worth retaking them. Let me know if you have any input or similar experiences.

    Has anyone done the strategy of reading through a passage once without highlighting, and reading through a second time and highlighting to hopefully be more specific with what you highlight? It has worked for me, but I keep finding that it takes me 4:30-5:00 to get through the passage.

    I know that the LSAT will be changing after June and making it a 4 section test with a break in between. Do you think the people taking the 4 sections will have a disadvantage compared to the LSAT Flex? I am wondering whether the break we get in between outweighs the cons of adding another section to the test. What do you think? I want someone to convince me that the 4-sections LSAT is not all that bad!
