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!

Hi all,

I am scheduled to take the April LSAT but I will be switching it to June instead. I keep scoring between a 150-152 when ideally I would want a 155-160. At this point I am lost on how to improve. Reading comp is my worst section with LR right behind it. Any help, advise, or free tutoring would be very appreciated :)

I submitted my law school applications in February and just last week found out that a research paper I wrote along with other research lab team members has been published in a psychology journal. I was wondering if this was a worthwhile update and if so how I should go about informing the law schools about it. My top choice law schools are UNC, Wake, and Washington and Lee and I looked on their websites and in their emails and it was not mentioned whether I can send them updates or not. All they said was to contact them if necessary. Should I bother to ask them if I could update them, should I just go ahead and update them, or should I just wait it out? Please advise.

Hey everybody! I am slotted to take the LSAT in April, and I'm feeling a little stressed out. I was hoping to push back my test date to June, but I just got an internship that is going to require me to move across the country. I've been study for 4-5 months now, and I think that maybe I should just go ahead and take the April one before I have to leave for my internship.

It would really help me out if someone has advice for last minute studying given these time constraints (important to note: I am also in college...). I think I'll have to take it twice regardless, but I don't want to just throw away my chances of a decent score in April. Plz help!

How do we sign up for a specific time/date on the April Flex?

Is there a way to download lessons from the course so that I am able to view them without wifi (on the bus, out for a walk, etc.)

If not it would be a very useful feature especially for the premium memberships. A similar setup to youtube premium. Could be a studying game changer for me.

Hi,

I've recently started doing the newer pts between 70-80 and seen a significant drop in my LR score which I can probably fix through pt exposure but a more consistent issue with LR has been that I am only able to get questions right after a lot of review but under timed conditions this is really tough for me. Partially because I take time to warm up but also because I have no strategy on how to attack answer choices. I know there are no shortcuts to getting better at LR but I would still appreciate if someone can advise me on how to attempt the section? Do people read all answer choices from beginning to end?

My current strategy is to highlight conclusions if I can find one and make a predication (which doesn't come naturally to me so I often find myself moving to the answer choices without a prediction under timed conditions). My average LR score is -9 which can go down to a -3 after BR.

Hi,

I am wondering how would you negate the sentence per title ("Sentence')?

I had three candidates, as follows, in mind, but I don't know which one is most correct:

Among them, 1. seems the most correct but doesn't further elucidate the Sentence. Both 2. & 3. make the Sentence clearer, yet I can't be sure which one is correct or a proper negation according to logic.

Could someone please explain or share your insights?

Thank you for your help.

After 2 years of studying for this crazy exam, I have always been so bad at weakening questions. Sometimes doing problem sets untimed and still getting weakening questions incorrect and continuously falling for the trap answers. I feel like weakening ACs are so subjective and ambiguous. Even when I dissect the stimulus and separate the premises, find the assumptions that connect the premises and conclusion, I still get it wrong because I feel like there is SO much reasoning involved in weakening questions that it is nearly impossible to do under timed conditions. Surprisingly I am pretty good at strengthening questions. So I'm in a bit of a paradox lol

Powerscore says to focus on the conclusion, 7sage says focus on the assumption. Both forms of advice have not really helped me thus far.

Any advice? This exam is so frustrating lol

Thanks Y'all !

Hi all - I'm looking for a remote tutor or anyone who could give some advice/sessions around once a week or so. After completing the core curriculum, I started PTing with tests 1-35 and was averaging 161-166. However, after moving on to PTs in the 50+ range, I've seen a significant drop in my average score down to around 158. On the early PTs, I typically was scoring around -2 to -4 on LG, but now am averaging around -6 to -8, so I'd really like some help on figuring out how to get my LG back up. I've seen a similar trend with RC as well, where I used to average around -4 to -6 and am now fluctuating all the way to -10. Anyone willing to help would be super appreciated!

When I don't have time to take a full practice test, I'd like to just take a practice section. For LG I've been creating Problem Sets with the 4 games from a particular test, which works great. But when I try to create a Problem Set for LR, it calculates my time for the section based on the number of questions rather than giving me the flat 35 minutes. Is there a better way to drill LR sections?
