Hello!!

While drilling the flaw question types, I ran into an answer choice in PT 62 that says that the author "rejects a view merely on the grounds that an inadequate argument has been made for it."

However, this was not the correct answer choice and I'm wondering if there are any example questions where I can see a passage that actually matches this flaw.

I'm just curious what this flaw would look like in actual questions.

Thanks in advance!

Q5:

As a negation, could we say - it is possible that there are also no analogies that are most appropriate for political campaigns

SO:

"Either something else is more appropriate analogy for reporting on political campaigns than chess is

OR something else ties with chess as being the most appropriate analogy for reporting on political campaigns." PLUS

OR there are zero most appropriate analogies for reporting on political campaigns

Can we not account for "zero" in the negation here?

Hello 7Sage neighborhood,

I didn't have any luck with the 'Study Buddies' tool so I am reaching out here.

I'll try to be really detailed in what I'm looking for in a Study Buddy so we have the best chance of being a good match.

From present until late June/early July we link up 1x per week for 1-1.5hrs/wk (preferably toward the end of the week/Thurs-Sat) and review questions we have from the Core Curriculum. These can be any questions at all - concepts, specific LR/LG/RC questions, strategy - with the goal that we help each other gain new insights. I do not believe there's such a thing as a "stupid question" nor should there be any pressure on either of us to try to sound smart or be right about everything. Our goal is to help each other see with a clear view or different perspective, and I believe something as simple as riffing about a question we're having trouble with is extremely beneficial.

From early July through October we link up 1x per week to review PTs. I'd like to build a PT schedule together, and then we can use these sessions in a variety of ways - BRing sections as a team, deep diving individual questions to really get behind the psychology of the LSAT writers, doing question transformations where we take the questions and create new questions out of them, and more.

If you'd like to team up, feel free to send me a message and we can chat further!

Happy studying.

Hello everyone - I'm looking for people who might be interested in some free LR LG RC tutoring.

I'm consistently scoring in the high 160s and low 170's and hoping that tutoring will help me perform better on the actual test.

Please PM if you're interested!!

dont understand the stimuli or anser choice c language

I was stuck between answer choice B and E. E was really tempting because in paragraph three it says that, "in general, biochemists judged to be too ignorant of chemistry to grasp the basic process." Would really appreciate clarification about why E is incorrect. Thanks!

I'm not sure that I understand why C is right and E is not. It seems to me even though E is not a "good" answer because consultants advice only didn't lead to good outcomes "at first," but it's still a negative outcome based on their advice.

I can reason out C being correct by countering Mr. Blatt's claim that expert consultants make "better decisions." It just seems off to me because it reads as the consultants' own firm, not an independent business they are giving advice to.

Can anyone give stronger reasons?

Was wondering how people do this. I have recently done the first RC/LG, and then go to the longest one. then do the rest.

Hello!!! I am looking for a study buddy or group for those who are taking the LSAT in November 2021! if interested HMU and lets conquer this test together!!! I typically study in the evening around 4/5pm-9pm.

I still don't understand why "the only" in answer choice B is valid. My original prephrase was "vote for L or N -> unacceptable." B says: unacceptable -> vote for L and N. It seems that B is the exact reversal of my prephrase.

I see why it is unacceptable to vote for L or N, but how does this fact make the answer choice B correct?

Hi all!

I'm looking for a study buddy to take and keep accountable through the next month into June. I've been averaging ~173 over all the tests (according to 7sage) and am mostly just trying to get my consistency up so I can score around this range next month. My main focus will be on RC/LR, but will be drilling some LG throughout as well.

I work during the days, so am planning to study every weekday between 7:30-9:30AM EST, and once on the weekend. We can discuss specifics about how to tackle this in a DM. Generally, the primary goals will be to keep each other accountable, study together (likely over videochat) to get used to the online proctoring format, and talk through BR and questions that we miss.

Comment or message me directly if interested!

Hi there!

Knowing that the exams from August onward will include a fourth section of either LR, LG, or RC chosen at random, will the 7Sage prep test simulator be updated to reflect a random fourth section? Or would we have to build our own scenarios within the problem sets? At present, it looks like problem sets can only be built for one section type at a time.

Thanks!

Hey all,

I'm registered for the June LSAT. I have been studying/ watching 7sage videos and practicing since the beginning of February. For the final stretch what makes the most sense studying wise? Should I be doing a practice test weekly, biweekly? I have not completed all of the videos and practice sets but have a brief familiarity with every section. My weakest section is definitely Logic Games. Any advice? Thank you!!

does anyone have a list of all the games that have rules with "unless" on them ? I thought I had found one in this discussion board but I can't seem to find it. Thank you.

Hello!

I received a score in the mid-upper 150's for my LSAT back in February and I graduated from W&M with a 3.77. I'm currently signed up to take the LSAT in June as well, but for the law schools I wanted to go to (UNC and UIUC), my chances of getting in are well above 80% according to the 7Sage Law School Predictor.

I was just wondering how trustworthy the Law School Predictor was because I'm considering cancelling the June LSAT Flex if the scores are truly good enough to get into these schools.

Would love to get some thoughts from you all – Thanks!

nvm lol

I just noticed that LSAC has offically announced all LSAT tests after Augest will be come back to offline, and there will be only three formal sections: 1 RC, 1 LG, 1 LR and 1 test sections.

However, the current 7sage is undoublely emphasizing LR sections since in past there are 2 LR sections. There are about 120 hours of course, in contrast with 40 hours for LG and RC.

Just wondering should we put more effort on RC and LG right now with the change of LSAT mentioned above?

Hey guys! Has anyone found a good way to print out blank passages/questions/answers to the LG sections? If not, I'm curious to know how everyone drills the LG questions over and over again -- do you write out each of the passages/q's, or screenshot them to then print out, etc? Anything you guys have found helpful in doing this is much appreciated! (Note: I realize that the LSAC doesn't allow for pdf's to be around anymore, which makes this hard.)

Looking to tutor 1-2 people free of cost. The requirements are that you've gone through the CC (thoroughly) and are currently in the PT/Section phase of your studies. Low-income/students with fee waivers will get preference. We'll have a brief call where you can tell me about yourself and your goals to see if we're a good fit.

I've been tutoring casually for a while now, however, I myself am still a student of the LSAT and will be the first person to admit if I don't feel as though I can help or don't understand something. Last 3 PT avg is 174.5/180 BR.

Hello friends. I'm curious about what metric our practice tests are gauged against. The "average" score that is shown next to my practice test results - is that the average of 7sagers while they're working on the curriculum? Is it an average of everyone who has taken the LSAT? Is it the average of students who are studying for the LSAT?

Thank you in advance.

I know you can cancel your LSAT score after 6 days of taking the exam, I think? Then it'll show as canceled on your record. However, if you do a registration refund way before taking the exam, will your record show canceled or withdrawn/refunded? Also, how bad is it to see a withdrawn/refunded on your record?

Hey! I purchased the LSAT 1-year membership last summer. I have done almost all of the lessons and maybe 2 practice tests through the entirety of this year. Life has been rough AF. I am from SWLA Louisiana and we were hit very hard with 2 hurricanes (leaving campus destroyed) and COVID19. Nonetheless, I still plan to take the last LSAT-Flex in June. After much time away from 7sage, I made a 148 cold; BR is a 156. I plan to review over everything today. It looks like I missed the most in reading comprehension. This is in addition due to running out of time, so I could not finish the sections. Of course, this score is not horrible considering I went in not doing it for a long time, however, it is certainly not where I want to be. It seems like I just need to get into the groove of taking PTs. Hopefully I should see a boost if PTs are done consistently??

My study plan is to do 2 PTs a week with a BR section every day in between. Any advice? Your projection of my score if I kept this plan? Do I need to amp it up to 4 or 3PTs a week? I would be okay with an 155, however, I want a 160 to be comfortable. (not sure if thats even possible rn) Just let me know what you all think!

The stimulus opens with a question, (Is it correct for the gov't to abandon efforts to determine toxicity levels in food supply?) and the next sentence is the answer. How is the answer to that question the MC when the following sentence begins with "however"? In this context, does "however" NOT indicate a change from context to argument? "Furthermore" in the next sentence indicates an additional premise. But, I also see a complex sentence -indicated by the semicolon. Is what follows after the semicolon the main conclusion? What am I missing or reading too deeply into?
