"Although bacteria are unicellular."

I earned a 3/6 on BR on this one. I usually go -1 or -2 on entire RC section while BRing, let alone -3 for one passage.

I had issues with number 16 (after looking it over, I understand why/how I got this one wrong). I originally chose the correct answer when I did it cold, which is frustrating. But, I at the very least get what happened.

However, numbers 17 and 20 are really throwing me for a loop.

Number 17's correct AC is E. My BR was C. I can see as to why E would be sufficient for the bacteria to navigate away from the harmful substance. But, the Q-stem asks for what would "increase the likelihood" of it getting away from the area that is concentrated with the bad stuff. I'm having a hard time seeing why B would not be a better means of the bacteria leaving the bad concentration. The passage seems to imply that bacteria moving towards something it wants in a straight line is a viable means of moving, and it seems reasonable to assume that moving in a straight line is better than just tumbling away from the bad concentration, which is what E states. I guess what is really confusing me is that the passage never says anything about harmful concentration and what bacteria does when it encounters it, and that E ultimately requires us to assume that a bacteria's means of leaving the bad stuff is analogous to how it would leave an attractant, such as food and light. Is it fair to assume such a thing?

When I was BRing I was wrestling between these two ACs.

Number 20

Another question where I was battling between two ACs - I BR'd C and the correct AC is B. The two answer choices seem very close when I consider them. Upon review the only thing that I can find that disproves C is that it uses the word "flaws" when there is only one flaw, or one thing wrong with one of the proposed theories; that there is evidence proving it wrong. I feel like there is more to it than just that, though.

Honestly, any extra insight will help. This was one of those passages where, after finishing it, I felt like I knew it pretty well, but realized that was not the case upon taking on the questions.

I am stumped by the question PT44-S4-Q7, and the following is the question:

Admin note: edited; violation of rule 4. "Do not post LSAT questions, any copyrighted content, or links to content that infringe on copyright."

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-44-section-4-question-07/

the model is: MC→E

(C→MC）

therefore, C→E

I am wondering why 'ignore their own welfare to help others' is not included in the model when explain the question?

Besides, if it is in the model, where can I put it? Can I understand 'sometimes' as 'some' then use double arrow like:

IG ←sometimes→ MC→E

therefore, C→IG

I've been having so much trouble staying focused lately. I can be active, awake, ready to go, then the minute I start a lesson, I start crashing.

Not sure if its because the lessons are getting harder, and since I'm not getting it I'm getting sleepy and losing interest. Does this happen to anyone else?

What do you do to stay awake, and engaged in the lesson?

I feel so behind schedule when doing the Intro to Logic section it was 59 lessons. It took me 2 weeks to complete. I feel like I already forgot the previous sections. Hopefully it all comes back to me when I do practice questions. How do you all keep everything fresh?

Hey guys, I just finished the LR section of the core curriculum which has always been my weakest. I took a slow approach and revisited lessons multiple times to make sure I'm actually absorbing everything and not on auto-pilot. I'm starting the LG section and I'm thinking that I should do one section of LR a week and BR it while going through the rest of the curriculum. Would you guys reccommend I do this timed, untimed, or a mix?

Do most schools care about your undergrad GPA after admission? I'm in my last semester of undergrad, and of course I don't plan on bombing my last semester, but I was wondering if schools care about the GPA on your final transcript.

My question is how to translate: the only obligation is to act in the best interests of their own side. Does obligation here act as a necessity indicator? So Does this mean that if something is in the best interest of either party the party is required to act on it? or that if there is an obligation for either party the party must act in their own best interest?

170 is my goal for September and I was curious about other people’s experiences.

I am currently in the phase of doing timed logical reasoning drills! Today, was my second day and my results were horrible. I feel like I have grasped the concept of all the logical reasoning question types, BUT, when I put a time to it, I feel like I have lost brain cells..... My goal is to get at least the first 10 questions in under 10 minutes or possibly start on the harder questions first.... Some encouragement and explanation please

Hi everyone,

I wanted to get people's opinions on this. When I was at college I had a verbal disagreement with a public saftey officer that escalated to me writing a formal apology and doing some community service. Since I was the subject of a disciplinary hearing, I want to obviously disclose this information. I called my alma matter this morning and they have no record of anything, ever happening with me during my time there. I asked for a letter, signed by the Dean of Students, attesting to that fact for my records moving forward (which they are willing to provide), but how should I disclose this?

It was 8 years ago so my memory of it is far from perfect, so should I just say that I had a verbal disagreement with Public Saftey and state that my alma matter has no record of it, along with submitting the letter as evidence? I want to disclose it, but I also don't want to look stupid since I'm disclosing something that technically doesn't exist and no one has a clear record of. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey guys!

I'm sending out my feelers for everybody's wisdom. Obviously, scoring well on the LSAT is a great way to receive scholarship offers.

However, I want more resources for scholarship opportunities. Let's assume that my LSAT is good enough to get accepted to a school, but not good enough to receive a financial offer. Does anybody have good resources for general scholarships, or scholarships that are geared towards a specific school or area of the law? I'd like my law degree to be focused in business, corporate, real estate, or contract law.

Thanks for everybody's input! It's been about 8 years since I've applied to a school, so I'm a little rusty on where to find these money tree seeds.

I have a google doc that is dedicated to BR. Depending on the question type I type up the necessary information in the document, for example if it's a flaw question I would write down the conclusion/MP, support, gap, answers analysis, and my final answer. I go through every question. I like it because it forces me to break down my thought process, but it takes a lot of time and I am just curious as to how other 7Sagers do it.

Problem: PT 2 - S2 - #13

To simplify,

If A then, either B or C. And we were given No C. What Must Be True?

I am a bit confused... Any helps will be very much appreciated! Thank you in advance!!!!! : )

I'm late to the game and didn't apply before I took my February LSAT because I wasn't sure if I was capable. I was pleasantly surprised with a162 but now I'm wondering if I'll really have to wait another year and a half before I can officially start law school since I missed the deadlines for this fall.

It seems like there aren't many schools that offer spring starts. I tried to find a comprehensive list but the last one was made by Powerscore earlier this decade. I'm looking particularly for T30 or T50 schools but I was hoping to get some information here before I sifted through each one individually.

Thank you! :)

And I'm getting excited. About 10 hours of LR CC remaining and then I get to start the LG section. I find it strange that I'm excited, since its my weakest section. It is what brought me to 7Sage, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I'm 80% sure I'm going on exchange to the University of Manchester in the fall. I was looking at their grading scale, and they grade on a 0-100% score range, with 70%+ being considered Class 1 (see here: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/international/study-abroad-programmes/non-eu/course-units/grading-scale/)

I'm not sure how these grades will affect my LSAC GPA calculation, as I'm also converting from a 4.33 Canadian scale.

My questions are as follows:

Thanks so much!

Especially for those who plan to go or want to go to UPenn, what are your thoughts on the Amy Wax controversy? Amy Wax used to be a 1L professor who stated that African Americans rarely finish at the top half of her classes. She also made numerous other racist statements in the past as well.

Hey 7Sagers,

First, congrats to all those being accepted to law school this round!

I have two questions on the application process. First, I've heard from 7Sagers, other applicants and adcoms themselves that a letter of rec from a professor is important. I had a great experience in an undergraduate criminal law class and the instructor said he'd be happy to write me a letter of rec. My concern is that he's only a "Lecturer" and not a tenured professor. Might adcoms frown upon this?

Second, when did y'all start writing your personal statements? I hope to apply this fall, and I'd like to take the July or September LSAT. Is it best to push the writing until after I'm done with the LSAT? I could see it being a bit "cart before the horse" to write it before I'm satisfied with my LSAT score, but I also don't want to push it off and then be tempted to write it hastily so I can get my apps in. Any advice would be great!

Turns out this test scares the living s**t out of me. During CC, I had no problem killing the LR questions and often ended up with -4 on reading comp (loosely timed sections). I also spent the last two weeks drilling logic games with some difficulty but not paralyzing...

But then I took my first practice test since taking the december 2017 test yesterday. I tried my best to refocus but during section 4 Logic games, I froze and stared at the test for the last 10 minutes.

I'm looking for some advice to dip my feet in the water and kill this test by the June LSAT. Help a sista out!!

Hey everyone, I’ll take all the perspectives I can get on this. I am having trouble differentiating the type of game board set-up according to the stimulus.

I have finished the CC, and getting ready to begin foolproofing. I just keep getting confused and I know the set-up is the foundation so it’s really important to get it right.

Is there any ‘standard’ way to go about setting up the board? I mean, any ‘standard’ way to tell what type of game it is from reading the stimulus??

Hi y'all,

I remain invisible(I'm just silently drilling LG's in my room) but I'm always so pleased to be a part of such a supportive community called 7sage!

Quick question here: I cannot find PT A, B, C and Feb '97 as part of the syllabus portion of the curriculum where I have been printing out every single PT released from the past. Is there a specific reason as to why these PT's are not offered?

Thanks for your help and happy studying ! :)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, 7sagers!

I started running consistently last Fall, and I’ll be running my first half marathon tomorrow and first marathon in November in NYC.

Do any experienced runners have any last minute advice for a first half marathon? Is anyone else running the United Airlines Half tomorrow or the NYC Marathon this year?

On another note, how do you guys think you’ll incorporate running in law school? I’m wondering if I can train for any major races while I’m busy studying.

Why do more people seem to want to attend school in California? Its literally like watching the East coast and West coast battle over more schools in the top rankings. I'm just curious if others are currently living in a warmer area, and are dying to get out? I live in South Florida, and can't imagine spending my Law school career in the same state. I may be missing a bigger picture such as costs, acceptance, scholarships, etc. I'm just wondering as to why so many of those, whom already reside in Cali want to stay?

My goal is to be taking 5-section tests from now until the June LSAT, but I want to make it feel as real as possible. Does anyone have a good method of disguising the extra section within their test? I found a RC section from another test that matched my RC section # and blacked out any identifying information. I shuffled up the 5 sections and made sure I had no idea which was coming next. It was kind of a hassle and I ended up knowing which was which anyway (I inadvertently took a glance at the first passage when blacking out), but I'm interested to hear how other people organize their 5-sections. Any tips would be helpful.
