Thanks.

Would anyone be willing to walk me through this one? I just can't step back enough to see it clearly and feel certain I understand (and I don't have access to the explanation video). Thank you!

I got the MP but I wanted to further analyze... Could someone review my thought process please? (This is a question in CC!)

Part of the stimulus: "But there is a positive role to be played even by these extremists for the social &political inertia that attends environmental issues is so stubborn that even small areas of progress can be made only if the populace fears environmental disaster..."

Does "only if" introduce necessary condition? Thus would the diagram be the following: Small areas of progress can be made --> populace fears environmental disaster (or the other way around...?)

Since it's a conditional statement, it's wrong for A to assert that "little progress that HAS BEEN MADE in improving the environment is mainly due to the fear created by radical environmentalists." We don't know in the stimulus if the progress has actually been made-- it just gives us a conditional. Is it safe to say that (A) requires you to assume something that we have no basis or support for?

Someone had commented, "(For the sake of practice) Notice the gap in the argument – author assumes that the radical environmentalists incite fear in the populace through false extremes (possibly about unlikely environmental disasters) and thereby, allows the possibility for small progress to occur (this is the positive role)." Is this correct? Could someone shed more light into this gap in the argument/ any other flaws?

When discussing this passage during a BR call, I thought a certain meme would be appropriate, given the unusual insights of the psychologists. I visualized expanding mental horizons and became one with the universe:

I have been studying since last September.

My fundamentals are rock solid, i am generally scoring a 178 to 180 during BR. My target score is A 170+.I have hit my target multiple times I have a couple of 174s some 172/173s.

However, I still have a ton of material that I haven't touched yet.

My timing has started to slow down I'm not feeling as confident as i would like, and my RC scores are volatile(anywhere between -3/-7)

I planned on taking september so i could apply early and have december as backup.

However now i am having second thoughts on September.

December is the last time i can take bc i am set on applying this cycle.

Any advice on if i should push it off or take?

P.s. I took the dec 16 exam, so i have one score in the books.

Hey guys,

Got a great question from a student that I thought you could help with. Here it is!

Do you mind answering a question I have about "accurate and complete list" type Qs on the logic games?

So, if I'm not mistaken, for a question like: "Which one of the following is a list of variables, any one of which cannot belong to group A?", we have to check ALL possible worlds and come up with a complete list of all the variables from all the possible worlds that cannot go in A.

--as opposed to: a question like "Which one of the following could be the list of variables that go in group A?" Because this question doesn't have the phrase "any one of which," it would suffice to find an answer choice that matches just ONE of the possible worlds, right?

So my question is:

For a question like "Which one of the following CANNOT be the complete assignment of paralegals to the Thompson case?" (PT 69 G4 Q22), would we have to check ALL possible worlds or just ONE possible world? I'm thinking that because it's not phrased as "Which one of the following is a list of paralegals, any one of whom cannot be assigned to the Thompson case," it would be enough to circle the answer choice that matches just ONE of the possible worlds. Is my intuition correct?

Sorry, this is so much to read through, but it would mean so much to me if you could help me out with this, as I am really confused!

I graduated in the spring of 2015 and decided to go to law school in the past year. I have a 3.6 GPA and a 168 LSAT on the June test but I'm having a lot of issues with LORs. I can get two awesome LORs from a current and past supervisor but I know I should try to get one from a professor. My top pick is Georgetown right now and I'm wondering if it will look bad to only have employer LORs. I reached out to three of my professors and none have responded to my emails! I live in a different state than where I went to school so it's not really an option to see them in person. What should I do? Are the employer LORs enough?

So, I can't catch a break with this test.

I was finally really starting to make progress and then a hurricane decided to blow in to town. If anyone hasn't gathered yet, I live in Florida. While it's not suppose to land until next week (Monday) the whole state is in chaos. I saw two women get in to a full out fight over a case of gatorade. Moral of the story here is - i'm not going to get any studying done between now and the exam. I genuinely did not want to have to wait till December. Any Harvey people have some input? I would really appreciate it. Should I postpone? What do you think LSAC will do?

Much love, send water.

Edit: I'm located in Northern Florida for the most part, but if this thing bounces in to the gulf I will be a direct hit. If this thing bounces up the coast, then my family will be a direct hit and I will be rushing to the coast to help evacuate starting Thursday. I'm assuming my testing center won't be majorly effected though.

Hi all, I am currently in the application process of Law School and was wondering if anyone had some sage words of advice on sending transcripts to LSAC as well as requesting LORs. #HELP

Hey guys,

I've been doing research online about Splitters (Low GPA, High LSAT Score vice versa) and a lot of it is outdated. Does anyone else have any splitter stories they'd like to share? I'm interested to know if T14s still accept splitters. Or what these splitters showcased aside from GPA and LSAT scores that made them valuable candidates.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

For those taking the Sep LSAT next week, on your admission ticket, is there this faint gray/light blue circle thing at the top right of your picture? My photo meets all the requirements, but I just want to make sure this isn't some indication of my photo not meeting the requirements. Hope I'm not the only one. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

So, even though I get most of the SA questions included in the 7sage drills right, I end up taking 2-3 minutes (sometimes even more) on them (barring the really easy ones: i.e., 1-3 difficulty rating). I think converting the sentence into lawgic consumes a lot of the time. As a point of contrast - I was wrapping up the PSA questions within 1:24, and wasn't diagramming for any of those.

Any suggestions on how I can improve my speed?

PS: I didn't print the questions and was drilling directly from the laptop, which meant I couldn't immediately underline key words and diagram. I'm not sure if this was an obstacle in completing the question within the allotted time?

Looking forward to everyone's suggestions!

Hi friends,

I keep having trouble with questions such as #5 section 4 on PT 72 that say something along the lines of "The order of _____ is fully determined if which one of the following is true?"

Any tips on how to solve these? I think I'm really in my own head when it comes to these questions.

Thanks!

Hello everyone I'm still undecided about which package I should buy. Just a little background:

I've studied from Feb2017-April2017 and I have begun studying again in August. I'm looking to aim in the 175+ range. Should I bite the bullet and get the Ultimate. I wouldn't want to give my diagnostic scores because they aren't timed, therefore not accurate. But does anyone have any advice on whether or not the Ultimate is that big of a leap from the next course below?

Note: Due to my severely poor GPA I NEED to score 175+ (URM+Financial Issues+ Rough Background)

Thank you in advance for all opinions and advice

Hi guys, Im having trouble setting up this type of game. Not sure where to put what elements, what the elements are and what the base is. Does anyone have any tips? Would reading the advanced linear games in PS help with the set up? Im good once I get to the set up.

Hi all,

I'm scheduled to take the LSAT on the 16th in Southeast Florida. Looks like Irma is gonna be hitting us big time, and we're being told we could lose power like we did back when Wilma came through 11(?) years ago. (When Wilma hit, we literally lost power in the entirety of the southern region of Florida for two-four weeks. It was crazy; there wasn't any light pollution and we could all see stars in the sky at night.) Anyway, if that happens to us (fingers crossed it won't), would the LSAC offer an alternate test date? I've counted out how many test centers would be effected, and at least down by me it'll be hitting 14 test sites. I have a hard time seeing the test still happening if there's no power at the test centers, and if people are literally unable to get to the centers because of all the damage. But I'm also retaking and am kind of freaking out that I'll have to postpone until December because of the stupid hurricane. Does anyone have the details on the LSAC's reschedule/cancelation policy due to natural disasters?

Thanks!

I'm a bit confused about the technical differences between the errors of (1) mistaking sufficiency or necessity and (2) mistaking necessity for sufficiency. I realize the instances in which the errors arise may be different (i.e. mistaken negation and mistaken reversal, respectively), but aren't the 2 mistakes essentially the same error described in two different ways? If you were to switch the necessary and sufficient conditions of a conditional statement (mistaken reversal) would you not be able to describe the error using either one of those descriptions?

Hi guys,

I have been with 7SAGE for a few months now. I am only on the MSS section of the course. I find myself irritated and frustrated every time I sit down to study. I walk away from studying more confused then the time before. I have paid and am preparing to take the LSAT in December. I think I am finding excuses now to stay away from studying when I used to study every day for 2 hours. I have a lot in this so I can't give up so I guess I am just looking for reassurance. I have quit my big girl job and we even pay to keep my child in daycare a few times a week just so I can study. The Main Point part really confused me so once I got through the last section of it I was super stoked to start something new. Well I get to MSS and its JUST like the Main Point section.. I know my biggest issue is not being able to identify the Premise and the Conclusion. I even went back and RESTARTED all the lessons again and am still at a loss.

Sorry for all my complaining but if you would like to complain with me please comment below or leave some really amazing great advice instead :)

Good luck everyone!

Hello fellow 7Sage students! I am taking the December LSAT and wanted to see who else is, and if you wanted to form a study group! I am aiming for a 155-158, but I welcome all that are really serious about getting it done the next few months! Who's with me?

Pretty much what the title says. It feels like everything I learned went down the drain. I'm trying very hard not to panic for the test in less than two weeks. How can I get back on track?

Currently drilling flaw questions (my biggest hurdle) , and I'm getting every single one wrong.

I have drilled question 1-100 on the cambridge packets, easy-medium questions, and did well, and I think I have a pretty good grasp of the 19 common flaws + how to tackle them...but for some reason on the 4/5 start ones I keep choking. Any suggestions on how to do better? (are earlier flaw question types different?)

I am consistently getting NA questions wrong. Any advice? I find them very hard.

So I've been at the LSAT for over a year now. I've struggled and plateaued. I've wanted to give up, I've felt motivated and defeated. The September test is right around the corner so I wanted to prove something to myself. I sat down and took my original diagnostic test again. I took this test in May of 2016. It's been over a year since I touched this material.

PT 63

May 2016 score: 151

September 2017 score: 174

While I know there are some factors here, like memory, the feeling of seeing pure progress is amazing.

If you want a confidence boost before the September test, and you are okay with retaking a test, I say give this a shot. It really helped me see that some of my work is at least paying off haha. Just a thought for my fellow September testers out there!
