I'm trying to improve my flaw questions and I can't remember ever coming across a "circular reasoning" flaw. Has anyone came across one?

We're currently experiencing an issue with the site that resulted in a lot of students courses being downgraded. We're investigating the issue right now and will keep you updated.

Very sorry about this.

A while ago I remember reading a post somewhere that talked about ways to increase your reading ability with respect to the lsat. The main takeaway was of course to take pt and drill. However someone had mentioned that reading certain types of supplemental publications could also help. The only recommendation I remember was The Economist; can anyone suggest other sources?

Hi everyone,

I was scheduled to take the LSAT on the last week of June (East Asia) and earlier this morning I got an email from LSAC telling me that I should? could? sign up for the LSAT-flex?

This confuses me very much since I thought it was an option only available to test takers in the US or Canada! Did anyone who's registered for the June LSAT outside North America also receive the email?

Sincerely,

Ellie

I am really burning out and it's especially hard for me to get away and do things I enjoy because of quarantine. (Don't mean to sound like a first world snob.. but here we are). Anyways since quarantine, I have tried to go for runs, write, go for walks etc. to have some sort of alternative outlets but it really has not felt the same.

I have been studying on and off for almost a year or more but burnt out TWICE in quarantine. I have also never studied like I have during quarantine so it makes sense. Since I am now unemployed and have no responsibilities, you would think this is a good thing, for studying but it also took away my balance, hobbies, structure...etc

I have reached most of my study goals but have some areas to improve. My plan was to sharpen areas for improvement and simulataneously complete a certain amount of PT's + review them before July's test.

This burn out is causing me even more stress since I may not have time to take all PT's as planned or go over all material.. and I don't want to delay the test.

I am feeling really hopeless and upset that my brain keeps crashing on me and I am not doing a good enough job at having a balance. And I am stressed that this burnout is "wasting my time". and even more stressed of the cycle of burnout repeating itself.

Any tips on how i can pull myself out of this negative place I have sunk into?

TDLR: experiencing a second burnout and it's killing my motivation especially because quarantine has kept me confined..

Thanks for joining my pity party.

I see this book by powerscore recommended all over the place as an essential supplement for LG.

Does anyone have any experience using this book in addition to J.Y.’s videos on 7sage?

I picked up the book and am about 150 pages in but I feel as though much of it is stuff I already know. Is using this book redundant?

The questions I miss on LG are almost never the hard questions or even sub questions. I average -0 to -3, but when I miss questions, they are almost always due to a careless mistake. For instance I am checking 82.2.1, a very easy "140" MBT inference question that I missed. I could slap myself for missing this, but this is typical of the kind of mistake I'll make.

This is the most frustrating thing ever. I know I feel a little nervous doing timed sections and I can rush, where I read too quickly and work too fast. Even since grade school making careless errors in math has always been my downfall.

Please for the love of god someone offer good advice on how to stop making careless errors in LG? This doesn't happen nearly as much in LR and RC.

Hi,

So I got this question wrong because I chose D, and I thought that D was right because, from lines 1-7, I thought that it was heavily implying (if not outright asserting) that researchers previously emphasized that gonadal hormones' effect on behavior because they believed that it was the only thing that affected behavior. I thought this because of line 7 ("it has now become clear, however, that other hormones...") which implies that it wasn't clear before that other hormones could affect behavior.

Thus, I chose D because I thought that the new research was essentially correcting the old incorrect belief that only gonadal hormones affected behavior. However, JY seems to ignore this possibility and states that this "undue emphasis" does not count as a misconception. Nevertheless, when I look at dictionary examples of how to use the word "misconception", the examples seem to align with my understanding (https://www.yourdictionary.com/misconception) of misconception = "we incorrectly thought that X happened only because of Y."

Along these lines, I thought that "refuting" this misconception was a perfectly valid description of the passage because the new research showing that other hormones affect behavior is technically "proving wrong" the notion that only gonadal hormones affect behavior.

Gosh, can anybody show me where I went wrong here?

Easy to get down to D & E.

The final decision is just that complaints happen when they are rising and that is different than when they're at their highest?

And furthermore that margins are at their greatest when prices drop. Meaning there is lag in the price drop to consumers?

Hey guys! I am really struggling to see the connection between diagramming lawgic and how to actually use it for LR.. any advise?

Per Dave Killoran on Reddit a little while ago.

Free LSAT anyone?

Hey, I don't know if this happened to anyone else looking for #help. Was doing my course and then the database crashed and now it says I do not have access to my course. Anyone know what to do?

Hi, I'm wrapping up my junior year of undergrad at my university in Japan and I wanted to know when the best time to submit my transcript would be, considering the fact that I still have a year left to go.

I'm planning on applying in the next cycle, in hopes of attending law school straight out of college in the fall of '21. I would love to connect with other international applicants who are in a similar situation as me!

I study best in coffee shops and libraries. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to study outside of the home? Thank you!

Does anyone know if we need to create a Proctor U account? Has anyone received instructions on how to sign up for time slots tomorrow morning?

Hello guys please when solving an LR problem is it okay to ignore the context and read the argument only to be a little fast, since we just need premise and conclusion.

Thank you

Hey everyone, I'm just wondering if the digital LSAT more closely resembles the 7Sage format for practice sets/tests or if it resembles LSAC's "prep plus" interface more closely?

I'm taking the June flex and I'd prefer to be PTing on whichever interface is closer to the real thing.

Thanks.

LSAT flex will probably have timer right? Just asking because on LawHub it says your allowed a nondigital analog watch. But why need one if they have timer?

Anyone planning to take the LSAT in Oct? I was thinking about establishing a study group. I’m based on the east coast.

Hi all,

I’ve officially finished the curriculum (the instructional video portion) and have started the next phase of taking PTs and blind reviewing. My score has improved since starting the 7Sage course and learning from the videos, but is not where I want it to be. How much did you all see your score improve once you started taking regularly practice tests and applying what you’ve learned as opposed to when you had only had the instruction and done the practice problem sets?

Maybe I'm just late but 7Sage used to have a bunch of explanation videos on youtube? Now you hae to purchase something inorder to access them? Please explain.

Hey Everyone!

Just curious about how you all are using (if at all) the Section Difficulty meter for Logical Reasoning?

I'm drilling LR sections in-between practice tests and there is obviously some fluctuation from section to section; part of that is being only 3 months into my studies (completed CC ~month ago) so there is naturally some variability in my scores. But the other components are of course luck and difficulty.

Anyways, I'm trying to track my progress and it obviously is not going to be linear but I'm curious to what extent, if any, I can assess my progress with the section difficulty meter. For example, is a -2 in a 1star section more or less equal to a -4 in a 4star section; conversely, is a -5 in a 2star section much worse than a -5 in a 4star section?

Does anyone alternatively try to gauge the difficulty by looking at the curve of the test? (obvious drawback here is that it's including potentially a very difficult LG or RC section)?

Maybe the 'right' answer here is to not be too focused on the score (minus whatever) and be instead focused on BR performance and understanding lol but to the extent that a (perhaps over-)emphasis on the raw score is somewhat inevitable, what are your thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I just made the transition from the curriculum to taking practice test. I have taken two so far: Feb. 1997 and PT36 Dec. 2001. I am aiming to sit for the actual test November 14th of this year, but I want to make sure I am using my time wisely.

Does anyone have a strategy with the practice test? Should I take about 10 or so test from PT36-58 Group then take about 10 from the 59+ group?

I’m open to discussion.
