Hi guys,

I want to make an argument and delete LSAT 25, S2, Q10 from the problem set because the answer choice is poorly written.

Without diving too deeply what the question is saying, it is about some spider webs that emits UV and conclusion is that the insects get attracted because of the pattern.

Naturally, after reading the question, the weakest spot from the argument that I had naturally draw without reading the answer choices has to do with this specific pattern and maybe it connects with "food or mating".

And the answer choice E, which is the correct answer choice because it proves that okay insects are attracted to the UV. But that is entirely restating the premise. The answer choice is made correct because we got A, B, C irrelevant and answer choice D being 180. SO answer choice E, which doesn't do anything that sort of just rephrase the premise, being the right answer.

Please let me know how you feel. And if you feel that the answer choice certainly strengthens I be very honored to hear your reasoning because I just don't see how answer choice E is different from confirming the premise and the gap still leaves untouched.

I've done some number crunching and determined the rest of my schedule for leading up to the June 2019 LSAT (~27 days away). I am studying full-time currently. I am currently fool-proofing logic games and have about 90 hours of logic game study left. This makes my study schedule as follows:

Now until May 22nd: Logic Games fool-proofing

May 23rd to June 1st: 6 full-length practice tests (one full day for a test and one full day for each review)

June 2nd: rest day

June 3rd: LSAT

Does 7Sage think I should change my schedule up leading up in June LSAT?

Okay, so I eliminated D right away and was stuck between answer choice B and E. Is D correct because Mayor Tyler said "in 1982 when I first showed how the building would relieve the overcrowding we were experiencing" and Councillor Simon said "Roseville has saved by not having to maintain an underutilized courthouse for 10 years"?

Hello all, I would like to be able to participate in some live Webinars, but being that I am relatively new to this gig, have no idea how to find out about them before they happen. So, can someone please let me know where to go to see a list of what's coming up? Thank you so much!!

Hi All. I am curious to know some techniques or strategies on how people have been studying. Are you doing ALL the problem sets directly after the lessons? For example for MSS questions, are you doing all the problem sets in a row? Saving some for later days? What have you found helpful in regards to this? I hear from people the best way to get better is to continue to do problems; However, my worry is that by the time I get to the Logic Games or reading comprehension, I would have already completed all the problem sets for the logical reasoning. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you.

The provided link has maybe not all, but many of the answers to concerns that I've been stressing over. Hopefully this helps ease some minds !! Sure helped mine (As much can really be done)

Anyone have strategies for RC anxiety? I was averaging around -4 for months until today when I went -12 on PT 79. I noticed my anxiety was through the roof by the end of the section and what worries me is that I didn't really notice until after the section was over. I knew I spent too much time on a pretty easy opening passage and I think I let that get to me. For some reason this seems to only happen with RC. I went -1 and -0 on LR that same test so I know I wasn't just "having a bad day". I'm thinking maybe because I usually finish the other sections with some time to spare, I'm not stressing out about the time crunch. But the amount of time we're supposed to spend on easy passages vs hard ones still seems so vague to me.

I got this question correct but have no idea why C is the correct answer. Can someone explain?

I was waitlisted at American and plan to attend a waitlist information session and sit in on a few classes. I was wondering should i notify my admissions counselor that i will be visiting? I don't want to be annoying. This would be my second visit (i visited last summer before applications). I was waitlisted in March and so far have sent 2 letters of continued interest (1 each month).

Hey Peeps,

So I'm currently working my way through the core curriculum, albeit hella slowly!

I was just wondering what are some of your thoughts on following your intuition when answering logical reasoning questions versus mapping/writing everything (conditional statements, necessary conditions, sufficient conditions, etc.) out?

I imagine using one's intuition is much faster but of course sometimes intuition can fail you.

I know this has been discussed a lot over the years, but what are the latest thoughts on the best watch to use that is allowed? I know I can set my regular analog wristwatch to 12, but even the small anxiety of doing that after each section seems like too much. I know people like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JVP0LE/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but I don't love having to watch the bezel since I'm not used to it. Does anyone know if the 180 watch or these, which are basically the same thing:

have been banned? I see conflicting reports online, and I'm not even sure if we can trust a phone call to LSAC because when I called them to ask if we could bring 2 highlighters, they said no and I walked right into the test with two highlighters. If it's still allowed, I think it might be the best one for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is it just me but I cant seem to review the answers after I've done the practice questions...

I used to be able to see them but suddenly I can't see it. When I clicked Answers, it would just be a blank white page.

I made a new free tool that you might find useful.

It’s an admissions checklist:

And a great way to build a school list:

And a great way to track your results:

You can play with it here: Coda Checklist.

You'll have to sign up for Coda (it's free) and make a copy of my document to use it on your own.

I'd love to know if you find this useful, or if it's just arcane. Leave a comment if you check it out!

Hi All! I've heard back from all my schools except for NYU. I'm pretty sure which school I'll be committing to, but wondering if I should check in with NYU or just wait it out? I wasn't expecting to still be waiting in May! Applied early January.

If anyone has any insights, I'd love to hear them :) Thanks!

So I got this correct, but only on the basis that I knew this was a medium leveled question. I cannot fully eliminate A and need additional help.

When I read this my initial instinct was to say how do we know that 62% is representative. Again, after knowing this was a medium level questioned I felt that A was too easy to fall for and I re-read the stimulus and saw it mentioned that it wanted to increase readership. With that this is what followed:

A - Could not eliminate

B - So what that other journals have done this? We just care about this journal and what they are doing.

C - I choose this because out of the other answers this felt like it mentioned both that representative discrepancy mentioned AND the want for the increased readership. However, I am still not entirely confident in this answer choice

D - So what about the cost?

E - So what?

#help

I am just really confused of why the right answer is B.

My thought process was this:

C: It is advisable for businesses to implement such variations.

Why? because of all the information above. When I read this I thought there was an assumption between all businesses having a standard software. Writing this out, I see why this is wrong, but I also do not see why B would strengthen this.

Answers the way I saw them:

A: This is right. In my head this reinforced the assumption I thought I saw

B: So what? We never mentioned cost

C: Again, money is never mentioned. But also, it was mentioned that they were compatible. So this is pointless

D - This might weaken the argument b/c even if we fix one issue, there is another issue anyway. Also, what are destructive computer programs?

E: So what? These businesses want to do that. Even if they do not, it does not strengthen anything

Hey all, I have roughly a month to go until the June LSAT, and I need to brush up on my conditional reasoning fundamentals from the ground up, as it relates to Logic Games. I've tried to start with intro to grouping games but have found his list of conditional statements and their implied conditional relationships incomprehensible. Which videos should I begin with to have a solid foundation for understanding conditionality in situations like grouping games?

Thanks!

Hello,

I downloaded the 7Sage app with the 35 minute Test Proctor. I have an accommodation for the test, and was wondering if the proctor be adjusted to 53 minutes? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi guys! I've posted on here before about improving my PT score to my BR score and here I am again lol. I'm only on my second PT after the CC but I have taken the LSAT before. On the last two PT's my timed scores and BR scores are as follows:

PT Feb 97:

Timed: 161

BR:170

PT36:

Timed: 155

BR:172

I will make note that PT36 was the first time I took the digital LSAT and I was so clunky with it and also for RC the passages were cut off (until I realized AFTER the timed test that it worked if I used the 7Sage format). I know I struggle with timing big time during LR and RC. When I do BR I feel in control and I really feel like I'm starting to master some of the Q's and I feel more and more confident with practice.

I was wondering if I should get a tutor to help me bridge this gap? If so, where can I get a tutor?? I love seeing the 170's on my BR and I'm really starting to get a hang of it (thanks to 7Sage!) but I feel clumsy and awkward during the timed PT. Any tips are appreciated!!

In one of the CC lessons an individual by the username "CharlesOak" asks a very interesting question regarding the BR method that sadly did not garner a reply. So, here's to hoping that it will be seen and answered here !

"For the Diagnostic test should we complete it by section doing BR or should we take the full test first and then do our review? I assume we should take it by section with timed conditions and BR, instead of actually doing the whole thing in one sitting and later on reviewing. I just wanted to confirm."

Basically, when working on LR,or other specific sections, do we take timed sections individual from the other sections, or, do we take the entirety of the test every single time.

Currently just starting my studying and am initially going to tackle my studying systematically---learning the foundational principle(s) for each individual section before taking them along side each-other. I'm not completely sure if this is the correct way about going about it, but it is my study style! That being said, I'm all ears (I guess eyes) and more than willing to listen (err, i guess see) any recommendations or tips for studying :)

P.s. I realise there are several similar posts, but, none that quite ask what I am asking. In essence, just to beat the metaphorical dead horse here, I want to attack particular parts of the test. Much like a sprinter will work solely on their start--tracking the time it takes them to react etc. to the starting pistol---What I am unsure about is whether the results I develop/times I achieve while doing timed individual sections separate from others will translate when I begin taking the entire test. In theory, I do not see why it wouldn't, but I am no expert.

Another one of these! I want to thank 7sage for their fantastic LSAT curriculum, the admissions course and 7Sage Editors who helped me produce the best piece of writing I have ever crafted. I also want to thank everyone who posted such helpful advice in the discussion posts, you have all formed such a powerful and uplifting community. 7Sage is one of the main reasons that I am headed to law school at all so I wanted to put one of these grateful posts out here. For quick reference, my diagnostic was a 150 and my LSAT journey was 158, 158, 166, 163 (lol). 3.4 and non-URM. I'd love to give back in any way I can, so please feel free to post or PM if you have any questions re LSAT, applications, UCLA, etc.

When we will these tests be released on 7Sage? Thanks!

Will I be able to print lsat test once I enroll?

Hi. Im studying for the June LSAT and (like most people) am having trouble with SE questions. While watching on of JY's game explanation videos for PT 66 and noticing some differences in they way he set up his board and they way I set up mine, I thought of a potential strategy that may or may not be good and was hoping to get some feedback from others about what they might think of it.

Normally, I have not bothered to even try to answer SE questions on timed PT's and had adhered to this in this case (PT 66, section 3, Q11). However, upon my first reworking of the game I attempted it and actually found it to be relatively easy. The key was that (unlike JY's) my boards had been split on the node of the exact inference that was being substituted. Having these relevant sub-game boards already at my disposal saved me the time and trouble of possibly splitting on that inference for the question, and were extremely helpful in the knock out/sneak in process. Perhaps more importantly, having already worked the game and questions with an understanding of that relevant rule as the primary determinant of the possible worlds of the game had instilled me with a deep understanding of how that rule functioned in the creation of worlds by the time I came to the final question and allowed me to quickly and confidently asses the answer choices.

The potential strategy I am putting up for discussion is whether or not it could be helpful to, at the start of each new game, check the final question of that game to see if it is SE. If it is, then might the rule that is being replaced within it be the rule that implies the key inference along which you should strongly consider splitting your board? I feel as if this step could easily be added to the checklist of things to do at the start of each game and could be extremely beneficial. I am not suggesting a rigid following of this and I am sure that in some cases it is best to split along nodes that are not mentioned in SE questions. However, after looking through some past games that include SE questions, it seems to me that these games are often structured towards building an understanding of the inferences created by the rule being replaced, an understanding that must be funneled into the last Q for a final comprehensive test. At the very least, if it doesn't make since to split along the replaced rule, knowing the SE Q is coming, and having the functioning of the rule in the back of your head as you work through the Q's, might be very helpful.

I prepared LSAT from 2016, while I wasted the best time to prepare it. Now I have a job and have to work every single day, thus time for LSAT preparation is too precious and rare for me. I still get 150 - 155 after several months' review, and now I doubt whether I make a right choice, to take LSAT and to go to law school? Am I not talented in law and LSAT?

I find that my vocabulary volume is low, and I do not even have logical sense (maybe?) I do not know how to restart. Building up confidence? Preparing vocabulary? Watching course videos? Or just do preptest again? I have no idea about the test, about what should I do. My username looks so ironic now. I do not even know if it is desirable to spend time on complaining myself here instead of doing more PTs or blind reviews.

Thanks for reading my incoherent narrative. Maybe I need someone to dampen the enthusiasm of me to give up LSAT as soon as possible and the dream of becoming a JD student.
