As today is LG's official funeral, would anyone like to say any last words before the sweet chariot swings low? I am testing today, and plan to give them the love they deserve (3(/p)

Perhaps the magazine has worked for you, but I find the economist to be very soft reading material and unsatisfactory for RC improvement. For a food analogy, It's like chewing Gerber baby food, when RC passages are like tough sinewy steak.

However, I will say that what seems to work for me is reading philosophy books, in particular books by Daniel dennett. I'm currently reading his book Intuition Pumps, and after reading a few chapters of it, when I do rc passes, I feel myself breezing through them. (I know he's most famous as a new atheist, but his philosophical insights are his most impressive contributions to thought in my opinion).

If you're struggling with RC give him a try. Freedom Evolves, Brainstorms, etc. He has many books from decades of writing. Also, consider that every lsat question you've ever read was written by someone who was either a philosophy PhD or in pursuit of a philosophy phd. The two subjects , LSAT and philosophy, seem to be almost the same thing. Best luck to all, keep studying!

Hello all,

I am a competitive powerlifter and feel this makes my application stand out a little. Would asking my coach for a letter of rec be appropriate? She

I'm starting late and planned on taking the test in October to be in the earlier pool of applicants. My GPA is 3.73 before uGPA and raw diagnostic was 148. Because my stats aren't great, I feel like applying early is my only shot. Do I even have a chance?

I have been preparing for a couple months now and I am trying to create study group of ambitious students looking to score a 170+. As a group we will preferably meet online and use Slack or Discord to chat keep each other accountable, and have meetings together to talk about certain sections to improve.

Reply to this post or feel free to text my account on 7sage. Hoping to meet you all!

As the title... is it in the prep tests section?

I've been doing a lot of drills lately but I'm starting to worry that I will ruin my ability to do practice tests if I become too familiar with all the questions. Is there a way to avoid spoiling respective PTs while still completing a sizeable number of drills?

I'm not sure what to do, I am planning on taking the September LSAT but I'm not sure ill be able to gauge how ready I am by the registration date. I would do the October LSAT but then I wont be able to see my score before the November registration deadline if I need to take it again. Maybe im not understanding how it works etc. but im just not sure if I should take it in october and then register for november wihtout knowing my score in case i didnt get the score i wanted or register for september but I wont know for certain how ready I am by the time we have to register

Aloha! I had submitted my application last month but through looking in the discussions and my email realized I never got an email and I wasn't signed in to the account, is there anyway someone can see if my application was received.

I am taking the August LSAT, and I have consistently pointed one point lower than my diagnostic-- I think I've taken 6-7 tests. I am on RRE, and I've been taking the course in syllabus order. Should I skip to my weaker sections? Or should I consider a different prep site?

While going over the formal Lawgic section, I was thinking about what questions type do we use formal Lawgic? For example, is it in Sufficient assumption questions, Flawed, etc.? IDK help?? I would like to look at some questions and try to use formal Lawgic.

I read online that Ctrl+F was replaced by a new search feature. Is this true? If so, are there any notable limitations to its replacement, such as character count? What will the new search feature look like? Is there a way I can try it out prior to my official LSAT?

In my freshman year of college, during the first week, I received a citation for underage drinking and a code of conduct violation from my school for the same incident. Although I hired a lawyer, went to court, and successfully got the charge dropped and expunged from my permanent record, I am still required to disclose both the code of conduct violation and the citation to schools. Has anyone had experience with a similar situation? Im afraid top schools will view me negatively due to these actions.

Maybe I'm being extra hard on myself but just the Core Curriculum is taking forever! It's taken me 2 months of full time studying.

I'm spending the time to truly absorb everything though which I already am seeing a payoff when intuitively understanding the questions and getting them right.

How long did it take you guys to get through the foundations, Logical Reasoning, and Reading Comp? This is for the new format without Logic Games.

I'm taking the test in Oct/Nov so want to make sure I give enough time to drill the crap out of everything and do tons of PTs.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hey everyone! Looking to form a study group for the August LSAT, so focusing mainly on LR/RC. Planning on doing practice tests/sections, reviewing wrong questions, etc. Currently practice testing at around 157-160, goal is 165-170+. Let me know if you're interested!

When it comes to LR, I've noticed that I tend to get the higher difficulty questions wrong. I feel as though I have a solid fundamental understanding of the concepts, question types, and methods of thinking, though I still consistently get the more difficult ones wrong. I know it may be a bit ironic since that is the point of higher difficulty questions, though I would like to be able to conquer them before my August LSAT. Any tips?

I tried to use the strategy of flagging questions that I am not 100% sure, but I couldn't find the flag button for the 7sage practice tests. Could someone please help an apparently blind man?

As I've been taking practice LR sections, I've noticed that my range of wrong answers varies drastically. I don't struggle with any particular question type or difficulty level, so I'm not sure how to improve my score. For example, I will get like 8 questions wrong, each in a different category, ranging from 5/5 difficulty to 2/5 difficulty. Is it just a matter of practice? Please help! :)

I took PT 132 recently and did really well on everything except the experimental section. On the regular RC section I only missed 2, but on the experimental RC I missed 10. Should I spend as much time reviewing the experimental questions as I would if I missed regular questions? I don't want to waste study time if the exp questions are always changed or aren't indicative of regular answer patterns, etc.

Hi everyone! I have completed the 7sage curriculum and have been drilling for a little over 2 weeks, but I am still averaging -9 on all my LR sections. I have been studying for the LSAT since May 1st and the only other resource I have used is The LSAT Trainer. I would like to get my hands on The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy but I cannot find it anywhere online. I plan to take my LSAT in September and my goal score is 165.

In terms of question types, I struggle with MBT, weakening, and necessary assumptions. I believe that I need to review the foundations of conditional logic but the core curriculum lessons aren't really helping. If anyone could briefly explain with an example how conditional logic works that would be greatly appreciated!

It is becoming increasingly frustrating not seeing results and I was wondering if anyone had any external resources or tips on how to finally break through in my studies. I would also appreciate any advice on how to stay focused throughout an entire test without getting sidetracked as I find myself taking substantially longer on questions near the end of a section.

I'll be taking my first LSAT in August, and I plan on taking it in-person. I was wondering how the conditions are like?

Also, is it true that the in-person centres use computers and the same interface as remote test takers? I just want to make sure this is the case, as I've never done a PT on paper and don't want to

Hello! I have already secured the LoRs for the upcoming application cycle. Do we need to wait until the cycle begins to enter recommender information and ask them to upload letters? Or can the recommenders upload the letters now, and the letters can be used in the upcoming cycle? Thank you!

I figured since there is no explanation video on this one, I'd offer my two cents. Please feel free to respond if my explanation is lacking anything or if you have a better one.

So the correct AC is B and here is why. The stimulus tells us that essentially that scientists relying on social reasons like prestige is not actually a bad thing when they are accepting arguments because social reasons are used to influence every human endeavor. The reason why this is the flaw is because it essentially relies on the fact that this justification is used so often as a valid reason to justify this claim. We know this because social reasons are stated to influence every human behavior, highlighting the frequency of use. The principle behind this argument is "if a justification is used frequently then the justification is valid. But obviously this is not true, just because a justification is used frequently it doesn't mean it is at all a valid way of supporting the argument. I mean we can even use real life examples to really highlight how wrong this claim is. Human emotions also influence every human endeavor, does that mean scientists are justified in accepting scientific arguments based on human emotions and is it right that doing so isn't detrimental? Of course not, doing so would lead to so many biases and flawed groundless conclusions.

I'll also disprove C because it seems to be a popular AC. The reason why this is not the correct AC is because it is not the flaw. This AC is saying that the argument does not consider the fact that these scientists in addition to relying on social reasons also consider relevant evidence when accepting these claims. This actually sounds like it is strengthening the argument. Now we have evidence that these scientists are not just blindly accepting arguments based on social reasons and that there is actually some actual definitive evidence behind these justifications.

This is how I explained this question to myself, I'm curious to know your thoughts.

I'm looking for people to study together in long island area for this summer. I live in Garden City.

I plan to take the September lsat. My pt score range is around 170-175 and I hope to score 175+ in September. Please send me a message if you are interested in studying together!

Hello!

Could anyone explain to me why answer choice B doesn't mimic the flaw in the stimulus like answer choice C does? I watched the video and spent some time with it on my own, but I am still lost! This is the question on artificial sweetener and aspartame
