Looking for 1-2 BR partners for the April exam who are scoring in the 170's- preferably who's strongest section is RC. Aiming for maybe 3 to 4 more PT's by then (all in the 80's). BR will consist of a deep dive into each RC passage and any flagged/problematic questions in LR. Im on EST time and am very flexible with time.

Hi,

Regarding PT28-S3-Q26:

The conclusion in the stimulus is drawing attention to the arguer's behavior is irrational.

The conclusion in the answer (D) is one should not dismiss the argument by pointing out the arguer's behavior.

There seems to be a mismatch between descriptive and prescriptive; how come these two argument patterns can be seen as similar to each other?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I do so awesome when I take the paper tests. I finish in time with 24/25 right. Enter the LawHub virtual tests and cue the 16/18 outta 27!!! Ugh !! My score overall is still decent because I’ve improved on the LG from fool proofing but good grief, I could have a 163-165 if my lame RC could transfer from paper to virtual. Thanks for listening to me rant... any tips to close this gap by April 10th?!?

Hello! I'm sure this has been discussed 1000 times but I'm a new-er LSAT studier here, looking for any advice on studying while working full-time from home. I know people recommend studying before the workday starts, but I cannot get myself to wake up before 8 am. It's also so difficult to have a real break in your day when you never leave the house. I'll definitely be sacrificing my weekends to the cause. Looking mostly for inspiration/tips/motivation/commiseration. Is anyone else currently building a schedule for studying and working, and has found success?

Hi, my official LSAT testing score is 169, and my practice PTs are above 170s. But I want to improve and break the curve in the actual test. I heard tutoring someone is the best way to learn. So I am offering free tutoring sessions to someone in need. My strongest suit is game. I usually score perfectly with 3-5 mins spare. The second-best section of me is LR, which I am at +- 0-3. My worst part is reading, minus 2 to 5. I think I mastered the idea of structural reading, but my execution has room to improve. If anyone is interested, feel free to message me. Please include your current AVG PT score, goal, struggled sections, and planned testing time, if applicable. Thank you.

Really struggling with those curve breaker LR questions. My score ranges from a -8 to a -6. Would ideally be fine with a -3 or 4 on the test, but really hoping to get some help. Happy to talk about tutoring options.

Hi!

I am looking for a RC tutor to work with.

For context, my average score under time is at -5 to -7 RC (I'm at -1 LR and -1 LG). The frustrating part is that my BR score for RC isn't that much different: it's around -3 to -6.

My guess is that either I'm not reading right, or I'm not approaching the questions right, or some of both. I was wondering if we could work on improving accuracy on RC BR first.

If you know of anyone, please let me know! Thanks!

P.S. I'm aware of the 7Sage's Approved Tutors. I have reached out to some that I thought would be a good match for me, but they are all either full or have not messaged back.

Can someone explain how you know ABCDE are the bottom of the game board? I used the other game pieces and missed nearly all of them

Hi there! I'm working on my AR and am having a hard time understanding this question and how to set up. Would appreciate any support.

The questions in this exercise are based on the set of conditions described below. You may find it useful to draw a rough diagram.

Beginning of reading passage.

A train makes five trips around a loop through five stations—P, Q, R, S, and T, in that order—stopping at exactly three of the stations on each trip. The train must conform to the following conditions:

The train stops at any given station on exactly three trips, but not on three consecutive trips.

The train stops at any given station at least once in any two consecutive trips.

Hello , Is there wording that I should look for in the stimulus that lets me know when to use grouping or chart techniques ? During PT85 I initially drew a game as a chart only later to recover and find out that It would be much suitable as a grouping game. I would like to avoid this error in the future any guidance is welcomed !

I didn't want to leave a blank during the timed PT so I chose B even though I really didn't like any of the options at all even after BR.

For A, which is the credited AC, we are told OPV causes 12 cases + no natural cases of Polio each year while IPV causes only 6 + a "few" natural cases.

In this context, it appears to me that a "few" could refer to any single digit number given the values provided of the cases created by the vaccines in the stimulus. So if we take A to be true, then IPV total cases to be 6 + (2) through 6 + (5), could reasonably be a strengthener in my view. So could this choice not be a strengthen, neutral ((6) + (6)), or weaken, thus invalidating it?

Are we simply meant to infer that a "few" is defined in relation to the total population of North America, presumably some large number in the hundreds, if not thousands, and NOT in relation to the value of the "artificial" cases, 12 and 6 by the OPV and IPV respectively?

Hello folks,

I have a quick question regarding the third passage of PT18. I don't quite get question #17. The answer is C, which states that the council "did not have complete autonomy in governing the Cherokee Nation." But how are we supposed to infer this fact? Where is it written? I understand that the second half of the answer matches with what we could expect, but I couldn't pick this answer given that I had no basis to believe that the council did or didn't have complete autonomy in governing the Cherokee Nation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Cheers,

KT

Hi Everyone,

Hope everybody had a great weekend. I just wanted to post something I have found helpful when reviewing practice tests. While many of these questions seem obvious and naturally intuitive, sometimes it helps to spell them out and ask yourself these questions when reviewing questions you got wrong. The article was published by Blueprint. The questions are:

"Once you've figured out a question, talk yourself through the logical process one more time to reinforce the right way to do things".

Are there any questions, or strategies any of you are using to help improve your score? If so, please comment and share with me. Hope this helps somebody!

Hi,

To learn all the lsat tricks, I wanna discuss a flaw sentence. This is from PT30-S4-Q14 (E): "it fails to distinguish between a true claim that has mistakenly been believed to be false and a false claim that has mistakenly been believed to be true."

It basically means a guy confuses a contended true statement with a contended false statement. But, how is it even possible to frame an argument which commits such a fallacy? Say:

"Tom told me that the Sun is not the center of our universe, but there are numerous evidence disprove his assertion, thus what Tom says is true."

Does my example sentence manifest the fallacy? If not, could someone help provide an example sentence?

Thank you for the help.

Hi everyone! I completed the LSAT Trainer and my highest PT was a 163. I decided to start using 7Sage after hearing good reviews on the program. Since I have prior exposure to the LSAT through the trainer, I am asking for advice on how I should structure my study schedule before the June exam using 7Sage? I'm guessing since I've already done the trainer, I won't need the full range of the program, but I'm not sure exactly where to start.

Hello everyone!

I have some slots open for a free LG tutoring section!

If you need help with any other parts I can help with those as well.

Hi all,

I'm really struggling with In and Out Logic Games!I'm able to write out all the rules but with connecting them and contra posing I get a little lost and waste so much time trying to complete these types of games. Is anyone able to tutor me? I'm on Pacific Standard time! :D

Which is better for the flex score estimate? Powerscore estimates seem a few points higher than 7sage's version

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm very confused by this question. I have no idea how the logic in this question works. I thought it was about Dolores' ability to fulfil a need, which made E tempting, but I'm struggling to figure out what makes A-D different from each other and what is actually going on.

Thanks!

so i was converting my answers from a preptest on LawHub on here to use the analytics and noticed question 27 for the reading comp passage is missing from PT 86 on here. on lawhub it goes to 27, on here it goes to 26. does anyone know why?

I work full time as a paralegal. I am testing the weekend of June 12 and plan to take Thursday and Friday off to study. I am contemplating taking the full week off to just be on the safe side and focus one whole week on just studying. I do average 10-15 hours a week of studying now but after work my brain is fried and think I would benefit from a full week prior to studying. Is it recommended to study hard core the week of your test or should I do this the week before?

Thanks!

I was using Khan Academy LSAT prep before I switched over to 7Sage. So when I took my first practice test on 7Sage, I unknowingly chose a PT where I had already done a significant handful of the questions (pretty sure I had done 3/4 logic games multiple times). So I figured a couple things might happen:

From now on, I'm going to triple check that I'm choosing PTs I've never seen before, but in the meantime, what takeaways can I truly get from this test? I got a 158 (163 BR), got -6 on the logic games section the first time through because I ran out of time on the last game (-0 BR) and -10 between both LR sections (-8 BR). For the questions I had seen before, I got most pf them right. But there were a couple I still got wrong in addition to whatever new questions I got wrong.

Can someone explain this problem to me? I'm pretty lost PT1S3Q11 Logical Reasoning

Hi everyone!

My ex-TA says he's willing to write a very strong letter of recommendation for me but he asked me to find out whether it will carry any weight since he's not teaching anymore. I was in his discussion section 2 years ago.

He has a Ph.D from Yale and spent a lot of time with me in college. He knows me well and likes me a lot.

I personally think his letter will work great but just wondering what others might think.

Related: I want to submit 4 LORs, all from my undergrad (2 from professors 2 from teaching assistants).

Do I HAVE to include a letter from my work supervisor if I had been out of college for 2 years?

Please share your thoughts! Much appreciated!
