I wanted to take a preptest, and I didn't realize I was under the obsolete format category of preptests. LG was the very last section. I just skipped the section. However, I haven't done blind review yet because I feel like my actual score is going to much lower / my data in analytics is going to be off since I skipped an entire section. I know I can manually input the #correct/#incorrect to see what I actually got, but is there any way to avoid it screwing up the analytics portion? Or is it not really going to mess with it since LG is gone?

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has founded/created a good LSAT quizlet that has logical indicators, premise/conclusion indicators, etc.? Basically, the more "memorize" portions of the LSAT.

Would appreciate any assistance!

Best,

Consider this original statement: "Most people are white." Its negation is: "It's not the case that most people are white." i.e. 0-50% people are white. Isn't this the equivalent of "Most people are not white"?

In contrast, given: "Most people are not white" Its negation is "It's not the case that most people are not white." i.e. 0-50% are not white. In this case, I know the negation is not equivalent to "Most people are white". It's not a binary cut here. Compared to the first statement, what changed? I'm not sure how to think about this.

Is anyone interested in holding each other accountable that lives in the Denver area? It could just be to sit down and do work together or more collaborative if we have similar goals/current preparation levels.

Hello, I am kinda late to this process and I took a diagnostic test and scored a 135 and my goal is to get a 155 on a LSAT and I am planning to take it in October or November. Any tips and strategies that could help me. My weakest part is Reading comprehension.

The question asks us to identify the best explanation for why these birds choose a wooden box. The given answer choice B only explains why the birds prefer the wooden box to "highly concealing woody vegetation" but fails to account for why the wooden boxes are preferred over open grasslands. Answer C seems to more fully resolve the question. Defensive behavior from 'nest builders' ( which I have taken to mean both the birds who next in highly concealing woody vegetation and open grasslands as the wooden boxes specifically wouldn't have to be a built nest.) Taking this assumption doesn't C answer the question more fully than B.

I get the issue is probably that my assumption goes too far. But the LSAT often requires us to make leaps in logic that feel much further than the wooden box vs nest builder assumption I've made here.

Is there a public calendar link for all of the live classes? I would like to be able to sync everything onto my personal calendar app and then just look at the events from there.

I don't understand the meaning of this phrase when used in answer choices for questions concerning argument flaws. Like does it mean that the argument is flawed because there could have been stronger use of this aspect that was taken for granted? Does it mean the argument is flawed because it drew a weak/misguided conclusion from this aspect?

I'm taking my LSAT around August 10th. When is a good time to finish up my studying?

Hi,

I am reviewing my mistakes on Prep Test 108, and I noticed that there are no Explanations for sec 4. Seems strange since there were explanations for section 1 which was ungraded. In particular I'm looking for an explanation on question 26. Thank you!

Can someone explain why E and not B is the correct answer? I am not totally convinced by the explanation given here. This is because the idea that the work is split equally is not explicitly used as "one of the argument's presuppositions." However, the relevance of West's conclusion to the premises is directly implicated as he clearly does not use the relevant evidence (the proportion of correct decisions made by the quality control workers). Any help would be appreciated.

Really would like some clarification on this! I know this is what it's like with medical school, and even undergrad. Does this hold true for law schools? For example, let's say I'm an applicant from...Minnesota; will I be held to a much higher admissions standard applying somewhere like...University of New Mexico?

I have been scoring very consistently (plus or minus1) around a score that I am very happy with for a month and a half now, but yesterday, on my last planned practice exam, I just completely bombed the RC section, resulting in a score a whole 7 points before my average. I knew it while I was in the test. It felt like my short term memory was just gone all of a sudden. LR sections were consistent with my past performance, but I don't really understand what was going on with RC. Has anyone else experienced this sudden lapse in short term memory? It felt very specific, because, as I said, LR felt solid. Any thoughts on how to prevent this on the real thing next week?

Hello everyone,

If you are looking for a serious study group, please DM me or respond to this post with your discord user. Our group meets every Saturday and discusses the same PT section we have all taken, time or untimed (depending on where you are at). Essentially, think of it as a blind review as a group, except we analyze questions to the point where we hammer down clear cut patterns to replicate on most other questions and question types. Success is achieved when you bounce tactics off one another as to figure out what works universally, or what works best personally. You do not need to be available every single week to join, but we're looking for engagement.

I originally chose A but thought D aligned better with the last paragraph of the passage so switched to D. I can see how A is correct, but I'm still confused on how D is wrong. Could anyone please help? Thanks!

Hi, I recently got my score for the September 2023 LSAT (I just finished the writing section) and I am wondering if I should cancel it. I got a 165, however, I am retaking the test this August (2024) and again this September. I have recently been testing in the high 160's and low 170's and so I was wondering if I should cancel the 165 or just let it stay. I would really appreciate the advice!

Hi all,

I've been studying for about 5 months, testing 154, would like to get to the 160s. Shooting for November LSAT. Struggling a lot with my overall pacing, especially on RC. My weak areas in LR are SA, PSA, and Flaw. I work full time but try to get at least an hour in per day, some days more, 5 days a week. If anyone would like to join me in studying or just share any advice you have found helpful, please feel free. Just been feeling stuck, and like my studying is not leading to improvement. Thanks so much in advance!

Basically the title, I finished RC on Monday and the entire CC, but with the new update to RC is it wise to go back and do the CC or should I start my next phase. A little bit of background info, I do not have a test date planned but rather a target score, I do have one constraint which is I need to take the LSAT on or before January. I am finishing my undergrad come September so that’s another variable. I have taken the LSAT once before and RC was a weak point of mine, although I do feel slightly confident after doing the RC curriculum. Would like a professional opinion on what I should do.

I get confused when there's a double negative in a sentence. For example, "No duck doesn't like water."

Normally, I would diagram this:

/D --> W

Because I would negate the second term ("doesn't like water" becomes "does like water") and the sufficient condition would remain the same (no duck).

But when I think about it in English, I realize that the double negative cancels each other out so it's like saying, "All ducks like water" which would be diagrammed:

D --> W

Any suggestions on getting past this hiccup?

Thanks!

Did everyone else just get a huge amount of content added to their reading comprehension section? For the entire month I've been using 7sage there has only been the science passages section, which I did think was weird. Have I been using the format wrong or was there just a big update..?

I have been heavily studying for the LdSAT for about 2 weeks now. I have watched part of the videos of the foundations and parts of other important info. After that I have been focusing on drilling. My plan currently: I am just doing drills along with blind reviewing and watching the videos per question I get wrong or right. 5 questions per question type. I start at the medium difficultly until I get at least 4/5 correct, then I increase the difficultly and will start doing prep tests when I feel comfortably with each question type for LR and RC. I was wondering if this plan is good. Is there anything I should add or change.

Also I am focusing the first month on not worrying about timing and then will starting timing my drills when I feel ready. Any advice on when I should start timing myself per drill?

Hi everyone! I’ve never posted on here before, but with one month of studying basically just the fundamentals and MC/MSS LR questions, I went from a 146 diagnostic to 150! Even though I know it’s not a good score, I am really proud of improving, and even more proud of getting a 156 on my Blind Review! To me, it shows that the time constraint is one of the biggest challenges for me, so with enough practice, I can get my score up even higher.

7Sage used to have the pdf option in their problem sets and practice tests. I can't find it anymore! Am I missing something? Thank you! #help

I started studying for the LSAT in June, and I plan to take the test in September. I spent the first month learning the core curriculum and then spent the first half of the second month doing some untimed sections and the second half doing a full timed PT a day as well as BR and going over the wrong answers. My scores keep going up and down, but I don't see an overall drastic improvment from my diagnostic. My average score as of now is a 145-146, and I'm trying to find a way to get that up, but not sure how to do it with only one month left until I take the LSAT. Any tips or advice? Would be greatly appreciated.
