This is a weakening question and I was so lost. I ended up picking an answer choice that I was 90% certain was wrong just to be sure my eyes would go straight to this problem in my review

My understanding of premise/conclusion:

Conclusion- Manufacturers who wish to call their reduced-butterfat butter by the more appealing name"lite butter" should be allowed to do so

Premises- 1) The public should be encouraged to eat foods with lower butterfat content

2) The word "imitation" deters some people from purchasing a product because it connotes falsity

Am I reading too much into the "should be allowed to do so" part?

Wait...I may have just figured it out. But I'm not sure. Is E the correct answer because the label "imitation" is encouraging people to buy reduced-butterfat products? And changing the label to "lite butter" might deceive them into buying something higher in butterfat content than what they are currently buying?

I have been studying for the LSAT and drilling LG for over a year and I feel confident in my ability to get -0 or -1 on LG. However, the only potential downfall is Misc games. When I encounter a section with a Misc game, I risk going -4 (though sometimes I can stay at -1 if I do the other games quickly enough).

I've read some threads on 7Sage about this, but do you think it's a good idea to just drill Misc games as much as I can now? I'll likely take the June LSAT, so I can take time over the next month to drill these. I also know that I could just keep practicing "normal" games so that I have more time if there's a Misc game, but I've never drilled Misc games and now I'm wondering if that's the obvious, optimal next step.

I have hit a plateau where I can regularly go -4 through -5 on LR and RC, but almost always go -10 through -12 on LG. The culprit seems to be grouping games. I just have trouble visualizing inferences when there are so many different scenarios. Any advice?

Why is D correct?

Hi 7Sage Admin. I just wanted to make a couple of suggestions for the user interface, which I think would make the website a lot easier to use.

Thanks!

@Juliet--

Could I use the accommodation I received for my diploma exams and high-school upgrading to request accommodation from LSAT?

Hello! I have some questions about how the actual application process works (for next fall) and a few specific application related questions, but am not sure where to get the answers. If anybody who has applied before is willing to help me sort out some pre-application questions, either via this thread or over direct message me I would really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!

Someone please explain to me how I got this one wrong

I have a high accuracy rate on the LR, getting -1 or -2 but I can only get to question 18-20 and have to guess on the remaining questions. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve on this?

Hi guys! So I am asking for advice because I'm kind of ~freaking out.

I'm a third-year student in university and I don't have any legal internships lined up in the summer. Or any internships for that matter. I'm double-majoring, so instead I'm taking three summer courses to catch up on some requirements and studying for the LSAT simultaneously. This is making me worry because while I do have some extracurricular involvements, most of them are dance-related. I do want to preface that I'm banking off of my entertainment-related activities to justify why I want to go to law school (entertainment law), but still, I'm worried that this will reflect very poorly on my application, especially that I plan on applying for Fall 2022. Any advice? Or words of encouragement? Idk. Anything :/

Hi all, I am working full time while studying for the LSAT, currently planning to take the June test. I want to take some time off work before test day to review and study full time, right now I can take 1 week off. Just curious if anyone has any advice if I should take the full week off before the June test date, or perhaps stagger the days off (i.e. take a long weekend the week before and 3 days off before test day)? Not sure how helpful it is to take a full week off before test day in terms of gains in studying so close to the test. Thanks much.

Hey all, any tips for how to lessen the gap between your actual score and your blind review score? My blind review scores and actual acorns are about 15 points apart. I’m in the low 160s but high. 170 s for BR. Trying to work on timing and efficiency

Hey guys,

I need help understanding this statement. There are two ways I can see it play out.

What do you guys think?

Argument 1:

"Seniority shall lapse only for the following reasons: Resignation, discharge for sufficient and just cause; and absences as a result of a disability, sickness or accident, for a period of twenty-four(24) consecutive months."

Reason 1: Resignation, discharge for sufficient and just cause;

(Quitting or being fired for a just cause)

Reason 2: and absences as a result of a disability, sickness or accident, for a period of twenty-four(24) consecutive months.

(Being out of work due to a disability, sickness or accident longer than 24 months)

Comma- a punctuation mark (,) indicating a pause between parts of a sentence. It is also used to separate items in a list and to mark the place of thousands in a large numeral.

Semi-colon- a punctuation mark (;) indicating a pause, typically between two main clauses, that is more pronounced than that indicated by a comma.

https://www.grammarly.com/blog/semicolon/

Watch this video, my point is from 1:15 – 1:35. It explains that it is a serial list which means explains that reason 1 is separate from reason 2”

Argument 2

“Seniority shall lapse only for the following reason: resignation,discharge for sufficient and just cause; and absences as a result of a disability, sickness or accident, for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months.”

(A)Seniority shall lapse----> (B)R, DSJC and; RD, S or A, for a period of 24 months

My argument is that “, for a period of twenty-four consecutive months” modifies the entire necessary condition. If one left for any reason stated in the necessary condition then they’re entitled to seniority as long as it’s with in 24 months.

2-3 months in and 85 hours done on 7 sage, my momentum is slowing down. I only have 15 more hours of logical reasoning left, however, I am retaining less and not sure if I am improving. I took a 2 week break and this remains true. Should I skip to logic games (somehow looking forward to it). Was originally planning for lsat June but now August seems more realistic. Any tips? #help

Hello,

I am scheduled to take the June test and I wanted to know when I should be doing my practice PTs. I know you are supposed to do it at the same time you would take the actual test and I know you get to choose a couple weeks before your test when you do the test. what I do not know, is when the time slots actually are are. What are the later available time slots? Thank you!

When I first learned LR, it was my best section. 2-3 missed each time. Now I'm a year into my studies and I average 6-7 wrong. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. Maybe I feel less confident. I initially started with Blueprint, then Loophole, now 7sage. I can't take a break because I'm taking the June test. Please help, thanks!

I am having problems with this question. How is B wrong? The author is saying these critics are wrong because they are not poets but you can be a critic and not be a poet?

I have never experienced test anxiety. I kind of love tests and the rituals involved in preparing for them. When I sit down to take a test that I've invested heavily in - a test whose content I am intimately familiar with, a test that has been granted more of my time than any living being that actually loves me - I'm excited and almost entirely at ease. Such was not the case with the April Flex.

I want to say that the first 2 sections went well. The LR section wasn't too bad and neither was the LG section. But, I lost my shit during the very first question of the last section. None of the AC's seemed correct. I flagged the question and moved on to the next. Same problem. This continued until I was halfway through RC and realized that every question was flagged and unanswered. Though I was later able to get a grip on things and answer all of the questions, I knew that the damage had been done.

The results released last week indeed confirmed my fears. I scored a 163. (I was averaging 168 for 5 months, achieving a 170/171 here and there.) I went into a bit of a downward spiral. Did I really just waste 5 months? Do I not know how to study? Am I incompetent? I moped, then promptly hired a tutor. My first assignment was to take a PT to assess my current ability, being that I hadn't so much as glanced at any LSAT material since April 12th. So, last evening I took a PT and scored a 173. A neat breakthrough.

What is to be made of this? I'm not sure. I will say that is it very easy to become discouraged from a poor performance. But one mistake is by no means a condemnation of your future. Chances are, if you're working full-time and studying >20hrs a week for several months as I did, you're burnt out without realizing it. A low score amid a sea of high scores is not evidence of a sudden regression so much as it may be a symptom of mounting anxiety and exhaustion. It was in my case, at least. Consider taking a mental health break. Postpone the exam. Enjoy your hobbies and the outside world.

Additionally, it is true that the actual test will not feel the same as any PT. The gravity of your performance will likely trigger anxiety in even the most steely of test-takers. There's a reason why LSAC allows only first-time test takers to cancel their score. While we are all different, it may help to manage your expectations for the first LSAT you take. You may do great; you may not. No matter what you score, you will have the chance to get back up and do better the next time now knowing what the experience entails.

I'm confused about B.

The passage doesn't say it's impossible for amino acids (AA) to form in a non-reducing atmosphere, it says AA do not form readily and tend to break apart when they do form in such an environment. Is this just LSAC's way of saying "impossible" in a convoluted way? Based solely on word strength ("readily" and "tend to") it seems like they leave open the possibility of it happening. It may be difficult for AA to form or even very difficult in this environment, but not explicitly impossible. Answer choice B resolves the apparent paradox by saying "yes it's difficult for AA to form in this environment and they usually break apart but you only need one molecule."

I realize that A is the credited response but I'm not really sure how A is stronger given that it requires a meteorite impact and then a bolt of lightning in the same place at around the same time since the reducing environment is temporary according to the question. I was left trying to weigh the relative likelihood of two vanishingly unlikely events.

Thanks,

Does the question stem "The passage is structured to lead to which one of the following conclusions?" constitute a hybrid Main Point/ MBT question? Or, is this more of a MSS type question?

Hey guys, I am a junior trying to apply for law schools in 2022. I don't know what should I do for this summer. On the one hand, I feel like I can really improve my LSAT score if I study full time over the summer; on the other hand, I would have no summer internship this year then (but I already had several internships in previous years). I don't know which one is more important, a better LSAT score or a summer internship. I'd like to hear some advice!

For the 174 people who do a retake, I'm curious to know why you decide to take again. I saw a post of a 174 who was aiming for 177. HYS have a median of 171-173

Hey guys, I'm new here but I'm very excited to get started. I've heard so many positive reviews about 7sage and I'm looking forward to getting started with it. I took the Lsat flex in April but didn't get the score I want but now I'm even aiming high with the score I want and I'm pumped. Here's to day 1.

I've already attempted the question and watched and re-watched the video explanation and there's still a portion of answer choice B that I don't understand. I was initially skeptical of the answer once I saw "most" and I felt that the video didn't explain why this answer choice isn't problematic even with the word "most." If it had said some, I would have gone for it, but...
