Question:

All libraries and bookstores are intellectual places. Most well-stocked intellectual places showcase a wide range of books on various subjects. But if an intellectual place is disorganized, it is not well-stocked.

Analysis:

See the library one is technically a formal argument, it sets two conditions (p) = All libraries and bookstores are intellectual places, AND (q) = Most well-stocked intellectual places showcase a wide range of books on various subjects. Charted this looks like (p) ^(q) > X The statement (g) = if an intellectual place is disorganized, it is not well-stocked. Cannot equal X because it violates the condition of (q) that is " it is not" infers NOT(q)… That is being "not well organized" does not equate to "a wide range of books on various subjects". It just means we don't have enough information to draw a valid conclusion, or to prove the conclusion true or false. A NULL conclusion is still a conclusion, it just sucks at its job. If the last sentence said "has a limited selection" instead of "is disorganized" it would be a valid conclusion.

When people imagine or have delusional answers to ideas, formally called "Besires" in philosophy, you get this kind of argument structure. In fact, that is what most of the "God of the gaps" domain of argument in religion is. This is a really common thinking trap absolutely, but I don't know that it was represented correctly here.

I am into the final month of studying for the September exam. How many pts I should do a week? My study plan says 1 a week, but that only leaves me with roughly 4 more until the exam.

I am taking the LSAT on Saturday. I felt like I had a breakthrough on my LR where I started to score around -3 to -5. My most recent PT ended with me getting -4 and -5 on my LR. That was basically a week ago and was my last PT before my real test. I wanted to just do some light work this week to not lose my growth, but the last two LR sections I have done (yesterday and today) have given me scores of -8 and -9. What happened?!! I am now sad thinking that I will not perform my best on test day. I don't know what to do.

anyone else having issues joining lives? this is the 3rd time for me (different tutors/times). EDIT- it was cancelled

Hi all, one of my remaining weak spots for LR is phenomenon hypothesis. I have watched the videos walking through the approach to these questions, and also feel confident in my ability to identify the phenomenon/hypothesis when doing the questions, but I still have some of my lowest accuracy in these questions. Does anyone have some tips for Phenomenon Hypothesis that go beyond being able to identify the phenomenon/hypothesis and any potential alternative hypotheses?

Can anyone explain why it's not D? This is PT 159

The schools I'm applying to don't seem to ask for Why X statements. Should I be writing them and sending them as optional statements anyway? Or should I only do that for my top choice school? Or is it better to not write a Why X statement and instead write a diversity statement? I'm just so confused...

I just took PT117 and did absolutely HORRIBLE as in 6 points less than my average .... Is it just me or was the vocabulary so much harder in LR compared to the newer tests aka 140s and above? I guess my question is are the newer tests better indications of what tests in 2026 will look like or are the older tests equally as indicative?

Hey everyone! If anyone is from the NJ/NYC area and would like to form a study group for the November LSAT (or any future exam dates) and meet at a library, cafe, or any other recommended places, please let me know

I'm trying to BR a section and it won't show me the recommended questions for BR, or let me switch questions. I've tried from multiple devices/networks. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hey everyone,

I just took the August LSAT today. My GPA is super low, so I really need a low 170s score. My PTs were in the 150s, so I already know I’m definitely retaking in October.

Since I know the grind isn't over, I'd love some advice on navigating this weird in-between phase:

Rest: How do you actually relax right now knowing you have to test again?

Mindset: How do you avoid burnout and get your head right for round two?

Game Plan: How much time off should I take before diving back into prep for October?

Any tips from people who have been in this exact spot would be awesome. Thanks!

Hi!!, wanted to know if anyone would like to meet up and study, i plan on taking the LSAT in November and just started practicing, totally a beginner. So if you would like to study together or help out, I would really appreciate:)) Also if you're in denver that's a plus, I stay close to DU!

Is anyone else having issues with 7Sage doing what's in the photos? not really sure how to describe what's going on lol.

took the test today completely sick… like i literally left the center on the verge of passing out :/ i just hope i get a good score ☹️

I'm literally taking the LSAT tomorrow, and they removed the full-screen feature just a few hours ago.

They also confirmed in the email that full-screen mode won't be available.

Without full screen, there are three different scroll bars in RC—one for the passage, one for the answer choices, and one for the entire page. They all move independently, and it's making it really hard to focus.

Does anyone know if there's a way to keep the scroll bars fixed or make the layout easier to work with? Any tips from people who've taken it this way would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck August LSAT takers! I hope everything goes smoothly despite the last-minute interface change.

If anyone is taking the LSAT today or tomorrow please let me know if it full screens automatically when you start the test. I was just doing a double check on the UI today because my test is on Friday and it looks like they removed it. I know they made other changes like the font, but this would really suck if RC isn't full screened since that is how i've always pted.

Thank you!

When I practice RC sections in just a 35-minute block, I am averaging -3. I am still working to fix my flaws, but I'm usually getting maybe only one wrong per passage. When I am doing a practice test, my RC section drops down to a -8. I know in the moment that I can feel that I am not as focused, but I am not sure what I can do to correct this. Any tips? Thank you!!!

Hi Guys, I know a lot of people ask but I am looking for a study partner(s). No need to be in the same area, we can do zoom calls. Help each other out and drill together. I am taking my Test in November and I just made it to the 150s :D I am aiming for mis 160s. I am struggling a bit with RC and a little with LR specifically Phenomenon Hypothesis, causal and Conditional reasoning a bit. Any day and time works, Just let me know

Good luck everyone tomorrow and the following days!

Get rest, remember to breathe and celebrate!!!

I have only been studying since late May and take my first (and hopefully only) official LSAT Friday. That being said, my studying has gone well, and I have had 3 PTs at or above my goal score and have seen more consistency on sections in the past month. However, I have been told that people often score lower on test day than they do on PTs. I know this will obviously vary from person to person, but have you experienced worse performance on test day than you do on PTs, or have you scored within your practice range on the real deal?

Will you not get scholarships if you apply to law school in December for January ?

hello everyone!

I'm taking the LSAT this Saturday 8/8, and I just registered to take it again in October. I decided to register for another one because my prep scores are not where I'd want them to be.

I went from really understanding the foundational concepts in the beginning of my study journey and doing well in LR, to eventually feeling overwhelmed with everything I learned and finding myself stalling during questions. I would get all questions that are difficulty level 1-3 correct, and miss level 4 questions. Then eventually, I found myself randomly missing even the most simple questions because I would overcomplicate both the stimulus and question.

I'm planning on going into the August exam and give it my all, but my new plan immediately after is preparing myself for the October test. My undergrad GPA is a 3.2 from UCLA, not the best, and so I'm really depending on my lsat score to be a 170 and above for both scholarship purposes and overall choices.

can anyone give me some advice on what to focus on from here. do I go back to foundations for a while, should I focus on drilling and reviewing wrong answer choices, little bit of both? I just don't want to waste time again and I want to ensure my study method is strong. any tips or methods that have worked for you guys would be really useful for me. also I'm curious to know how often you all study...I work 8-5 mon-friday, so I'm not sure if that schedule is getting in my way more than I think.

and if you're in the same boat with any of this, I'd love to hear your experience as well.

thank you!

I went from a 149 in May on PT140 to a 162 yesterday on PT143 and I am ecstatic!

I'll be working on endurance in the coming months as I prepare to take the October exam (currently focusing just on the actual scored sections, but exp is next), but I'm wondering where I should continue next. I am super proud & motivated with my progress as I started seriously studying last month, but I want to keep up the motivation and focus up.

What else can I focus on? Should I be drilling, doing sections, reviewing, reading more? I've been finding that I struggle far more on recent RC than earlier RC passages.

Thanks!! 7sage has been so helpful for me the past month and I am so excited about the future!
