Whenever we are given [P→C] argument. I tend to see [C→P] as a correct strenthening answer choice. I understand that such answer choices try to a create connection between P and C, but isn’t this a negation flaw?

So in almost every PT I've taken, I do better on the first LR section than the second one.

I'm talking 3 wrong answer choices in LR1, and like 6-8 wrong answers on LR2.

is LR2 harder, am I just burnt out by section 3, or am I just insane?

I have an incredibly difficult time understanding a stimulus that is science-based or involves numbers. I found that PT5.S1.Q12 gave me an incredibly hard time due to not understanding the stimulus. I ended up having to draw out pictures, to truly understand what the stimulus was saying (https://ibb.co/5GKKtHY). Once I drew it out I was able to figure it out. Under timed conditions, I know that I would not have had time to draw it all out.

I am wondering if anyone else has had trouble with quickly understanding a science/number-based stimulus, and if so what you all have found to be the most successful way to overcome this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I need some clarification on how to interpret the Review Results Analytics after problem sets are completed.

After completing a problem set, when hovering over the “Answer Choices” (A, B, C, D, E) what do the numbers above each choice represent? They look like a range of LSAT scores. Do/how do these numbers correlate to the “Curve” bar to the right of the “Answer Choices”?

Lastly, what are the differences between "Question Difficulty" and "Psg/Game/S Difficulty"?

Thanks!

Why was the answer C, instead of B?

Can someone explain why B is the correct answer choice? ("The concentration of oxygen-18 in seawater is increased")

I have registered for the July LSAT-FLEX. What would be the last day to withdraw with coupon? I am considering withdrawal because I am still in 60% of myt core curriculum and didn't fell prepared. I have also registered for the August test. Any recommendation that I should still take the July test just to get first-hand experience for the test?

Hi I'm trying to locate a game - does anyone recognize these: the 5/10/Both savings accounts and which advisor is where

Hello,

This may have been touched on in the explanation videos somewhere but I must have overlooked it or something..

For LR, how do we use subscripts? Some of the explanation videos began using them and they appear useful so I would like to begin implementing it but I am not sure how it works, any clarity would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to an example video (question 3): https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/quiz-on-drawing-valid-conclusions-with-translations-2-answers/

Only roses are red. Only thorny things are red. There's a red thing in the flower garden.

Red->Roses

Red->Thorny things

Red (Subscript) Flower Garden ?

Not to come off dumb...in regards to LG-what does JY mean by memorize the sets? I am just beginning the LG section and he says this in the first couple of logic set questions we review. Does he mean literally write it over and over without even having the stimulus up? Or does he mean just drilling the same logic game over and over until you're under 5 minutes. I'm sorry just confused and want to do what he is telling me to do lol

I took a practice test not using 7sage, and wanted to input my answers to get to see the 7sage analytic breakdown. Is there any way to do this without just starting the same PT as I would normally and redoing it with my other answers?

#help I've been hitting the mid 150's and what I've noticed is that I am missing all and I mean all the V. High questions and none of V. Low questions. What am I missing? I am shooting for the 160's (going to my state school) and while my score will get me in - I want to hit the 160's. I'm just not able to make the move up. Any suggestions?? TIA

In questions where it is appears that there is a Sufficiency/Necessary issue, are there examples of questions where the SA/NA answer is a trap? I find myself spending way too much time trying to decipher if the stimulus is mistaking sufficiency for necessity or mistaking necessity for sufficiency even when there is only one Answer Choice involving SA/NA.

Does anyone have an example where the distinction matters? My gut tells me to recognize the cookie cutters where you can find them and move on.

For example in PT 80 - Sec 4 - Q16, I knew B was right but for some reason was thinking the order of SA/NA in AC B matters (even though it does not) which made me think that maybe there was a sneaky trap (though I knew there really wasn't).

I go -1 or -2 on LR so don't think this really a foundations issue, more of a confidence thing. Thanks for any thoughts!

For the August 2020 LSAT groups, should I make a Facebook page, GroupMe (I think there may already be one, I can link it) or some other form?

Hi 7Sage folks!

Does anyone have any recommendations for LSAT tutors? Or tutors are any of you taking on new clients? I'm taking the LSAT flex in July and although I'm doing very well on my PTs (getting about 167-169). I would love to work with a tutor to hopefully boost my score a little so that on actual test day I'm able to bring my best game.

Let me know! Thanks!

I have been taking older PTs in order to preserve the newer ones for when I am closer to test date, but out of curiosity, I tried a a more recent test. Here's what happened:

PT38, I scored a160 (171BR)

...5 days later...

I took PT69 and scored a 166 (169 BR)

They were both timed. In fact, I took PT69 under the strictest conditions I've exercised yet.

Now, I know a 6 point jump after 6 days isn't due to some random leap of development. I am genuinely curious if there have been any known changes that might make the newer tests a little "easier"? I didn't get a sense for this while I was actually testing (other than maybe LG being a little more clear).

Perhaps does this mean I should focus more on recent PTs, or conversely, I should focus on the older ones in order to potentially make more gains by challenging myself harder?

Hi. I am currently registered to take the LSAT July 13. This was a last minute decision, as I originally planned on taking the LSAT in late August. I registered for the July LSAT out of fear of not receiving a score back quickly enough from a late August LSAT for sending my application in as early as possible (I would like to get into a t14 school). However, I am in a course that running on a schedule that assumes I am taking the August LSAT, and as it stands: a) I have only taken three practice tests and the highest score I have gotten is a 164 and b) I am shooting for a 170. I am worried that I will not get the score I would like on the July LSAT and will have to take again in August. My question is--- do I withdraw my registration from the July LSAT and get more practice in before I take the LSAT? Or, do I go ahead and take the LSAT in July, hoping for a score that would allow me to get my application in as soon as schools begin accepting applications? The crux of my question is getting a good score and maybe having to take LSAT twice/getting application in as early as possible.

Thanks if you've made it this far!!!

MY THOUGHTS: It says that A is correct and I dont understand why? I get that it is elimination, but if Quasi has one that is higher than it wouldnt it be B? I am seeing that it doesnt say that four is the highest, that we shoudn't assume, but when you look at question A it says that Nice has two stars and headstrong has three stars making it that Nice is less that headstrong so that to me means that rating four must be the highest. So how can quasi be four and then headspace be three? It also says in the rule explanation that quasi cannot recive a rating of just 1 or two stars. I guess i am asking when they dont tell you what rating is the highest how can you know which anwser is right when they give you two possible anwsers? I am deff overthinking but just need someone to step by step clarify why it is question A!

ACTUAL QUESTION: A critic has prepared a review of exactly six music CDs- headstrong, In Flight, Nice, Quasi, Reunion, and Sounds Good. Each CD received a rating of either one, two, three or four stars, with each CD receiving exactly one rating. Although the ratings were meant to be kept secret untill the review was published, the following facts have been leaked the the pubilc.

RULES:

For each ratings, at least one but no more than two of the CDs received that rating.

Headstrong recived exactly one more star than NICE did.

Either Headstrong or Reunion received the same number of stars as In Flight did.

At most one CD. received the same number of stars as In Flight did.

At most one CD received more than stars than Quasi did.

Which one of the following could be an accurate matching of ratings to the CDS that received those ratings?

ANSWERS:

(A) One star: In Flight, Reunion; Two stars: Nice; Three stars: Headstrong;Four stars: Quasi, Sounds good.

(B) One star: In Flight, Reunion: Two stars: Quasi, Sounds Good: Three stars: Nice; Four Stars: Headstrong.

(C) One star: Nice; Two stars: Headstrong; three stars: In Flight, Sounds good;Four stars:Quasi, Reunion.

(D) One Star: Nice, Sounds good: Two stars: In Flight, Reunion; Three stars:Quasi; Four stars: headstrong

(E) One star: Sounds good; Two stars:Reunion;Three stars: Nice, Quasi; Four stars:Headstrong, In flight.

During my drills, I was really confused by the following sentence that I made up myself.

(I knew it might not make sense in scientific terms, please bear with me.)

"All genetic material is contributed by every female gamete."

Thanks!

I took the May LSAT-flex and, at the time, couldn't find any rules in regards to whether using control F during the reading comp was permissible, so I decided against doing so just to be safe. I will be retaking in August, and was wondering if anyone has used control F or knows if that's allowed? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have roughly 3-4 hours per day, 5-6 days a week to dedicate to the LSAT.

My diagnostic was 144 with -11LR, -20LG, -15LR, -10 RC

I would love to write the October LSAT and apply for the 2021 cycle. I need a 162-165 for the school I want to get into.

If you were me, how would you approach the CC?

I started Mike Kim's Lsat trainer because I heard good things and am 1/3 through. Should I continue the trainer and hit 7 sage hard, or finish the trainer, then 7sage.

Is this enough time?

Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated?

Hello 7 Sage community,

Is there anyone that would be willing to work on reviewing LR sections from the 50's and 60's?

I am looking for someone to verbalize reasoning structure with to help build good habits. I lose mental discipline sometimes and get lured into AC's that isn't affecting the heart of the reasoning in critical arguments. My tutor forces me to articulate this when reviewing and I've found it helpful to find holes in my approach.

Please let me know if interested. My schedule is flexible.

Thank you!

Hi,

I watched the video for LG full proofing method and wondered if the strategy is to complete the 10 clean copies or stop when we have both speed and control.

Thanks!

HI Guys,

I am a little bit iffy on what to write about for my personal statement. Would that be more of a resume about why you want to go to law school, or tell a story about yourself? Currently, really confused. SOS.

How would you diagram “the only thing you need for A is B ” and “the only way to have C is through D”?

Are these two the same statements?

I’m starting to feel like, at least the first one, is a bi-conditional. Thoughts?
