This is about as great as it is unsurprising. I can remember working on the LSAT with you in 2015, and I think you had already put in a good amount of work. This is so well-deserved. Big congrats, my friend, and I hope that you will hire me when you…

Glad to know that 7Sage is showing love for UCI. Fun fact: Pacifico (creator of th…
Greetings, 7sage. Super busy with 1L (second semester is just as intense as the first). We're all pretty stoked about the rankings here at UCI and, at the same time, just doing what we're doing.
I know that UCI encourages us not to do summer study,…
Thanks @twssmith for the notification.
Hello 7Sage. It's been a while.
I am happy to answer any questions you might have about UCI Law.
Some general rambling thoughts:
The graduate student housing is pretty darn good. It's at most a 10 minute wa…
It's not that there are no other gases. This question leans on the distinction between proportion and quantity. A proportion or ratio tells us the relationship between items without telling us the quantity or value of those things. For example, if a…
I think the key to getting this, and almost all Weaken and Strengthen questions, is to understand/focus/intensely study what the method of reasoning is. I would advise in your Blind Review doing so from now on. Too often, students think of Blind Rev…
For A, are we certain that those fireplaces that are in close proximity to the fireplaces with lichen and grass were actually used by the Neanderthals? Isn't it possible that those fireplaces were used by non-Neanderthal cultures (maybe even thousan…
Excellent choice! Congrats, Daniel!
Hmm, 2 tutors named Daniel, 2 tutors named Dave. It looks like we need another Josh to become a tutor. Then, we'll have 3 sets of name-pairs.
I do an LG per day as a warm-up before I tutor or do some 0L prep (I've got PT 18, game 3 up for today). I too think I will continue this practice into 1L. It's the perfect warm up.
At the risk of reiterating what Dave brilliantly has said, you never stop foolproofing. Even when you get down to -1 avg on your LG. I guarantee you'll foolproof PT 57, 62, 68 and many of the 70s no matter how good your LG game is. LG is like a yoga…

This, in conjunction with the stimulus (maxing the amount of earthquakes at 1 every 100,000 years) leaves us with the possibility that there are some faults that do not produce any earthquakes.
The reason is because I …
@"work all week" you're absolutely right about everything, answer choice E being a tantalizing trap answer---it just "feels" like a correct NA answer, while answer C with its "every" "feels" too strong to be an NA (That's why it's so important on NA…
@"work all week" said:
@DumbHollywoodActor That's some good input but if you think about it the stimulus allows for there to be minor faults that don't produce earthquakes at all. If that is the case, then we would have the same problem for t…
@"Daniel.Sieradzki" I've been off in 0L Prep-land and doing a ton of SAT/ACT/LSAT tutoring for their respective June 3/10/12 tests, so I've been a little MIA. After a vacation to CT in June 12-23, I plan to get more involved with 7sage again.
I LOV…
Agreed. This is great. I find that I mostly tutor grammar and argument forms with my students. 7sage's curriculum is more than sufficient for logic. What really throws people is understanding what the argument and answer choices are even saying.
I'm not certain that necessity can be qualified. In other words, one necessary assumption is not more necessary than another. Admittedly, this is a very tricky stimulus that's both modifier- and referential-phrase-crazy, but I need to ask you a ques…
Yes, bridging NAs look VERY similar to SAs because they both cover gaps (or assumptions). This is why I was saying in our session that NA bridging is very common when there is ONLY one premise to the conclusion; a natural gap normally exists between…
Yep that's right. Though the true difficulty of this question, like we discussed during our session and like you said, was recognizing that /WM (Whatever Meaning Reader Assigns is false) is logically consistent with RA (Reader agreement). That's re…
You're right about there being a LOT of assumptions. But most of the assumptions that D makes, C ALSO makes. But D makes the comparison of current prices. That's one less assumption than C makes. The clue that you need to use this form of analysis i…
Tough distinction to make here. What are the different bases of comparison between (C) and (D)?
For (C), what if the price of natural oil rose? (Answer (C) leaves that possibility.) Then, the likelihood of a significant switch to oil is still uncer…
So that would be diagrammed out as:
Not (know about events ---> ~freely performed)
Which I was told turns into:
(Know about events ---> freely performed)
This is incorrect. When you negate a conditional relationship, you create …

I don't see river currents as being relevant.
Surely you've seen descriptive flaw questions whose correct answers say that the argument has failed to consider X. This argument is failing to consider a multitude of things. It could have be…
