@Ashley2018 We can't conclude that 99/100 are actual bomb threats -- that's the flaw in the argument.
The correct answer, E, points to that exact thing -- it tells us that the scanner will erroneously trigger 1% of the pieces of luggage WITHOUT a b…
@MattLaP323 I agree with what Nancy ( @"Slow is Fast" ). I would add the following:
If you're able to diagram while reading the stimulus (without losing accuracy), do that. As soon as I see a Sufficient Assumption with Conditional Language, I alwa…
@Ashley2018 It seems like you recognized the Concept Shift in the stimulus, but are just having trouble applying it to the answer.
In the stimulus, we're told:
Avg price paid for a new car has increased (compared to avg individual income)
But the…
If you're planning to take the test in August, I'd focus on more recent tests. On newer tests, the LG game-types are more variable, and in LR tends to be more verbose. Also, the Comparative RC passages didn't begin until PT 52 I believe, so you shou…
Hi @Koonani95,
The word "principle" most often shows up in the stem of three separate question types: Strengthen, PSA, and Principle-Conform.
To identify a PSA, I generally look for terms like "justify" or "follows logically" in the stem. It will …

I've been grinding on RC for the longest time but I just can't ever seem to hit the supposed "Target Times" for each of the passages.
Sometimes I get 100% accuracy but I finish a passage in 9 minutes when the target time s…
Go back through the questions you got wrong [without having the correct answer pulled up] and write down the following:
The passage number and a brief note on its topic + purpose
The question stem category in your own words
The type of action you …

Should we be practicing with a 4th section to help us prepare for August test?
Yes! I've been making a random problem set of a PT section from the 40s or 50s to up my stamina. If you're used to doing three sections per "…

Hello to anyone working at 7sage. Is there anything in the pipeline that will add an experimental sectional to the PTs?
I generally create a problem set with a section from an older exam when I "Simulate Flex" on 7Sage ju…
I can't remember if you have The Loophole, but "Some" and "Not all" are not equivalent.
All is 100% ; "Not all" is a range that includes 0-99%
None is 0% ; "Some" is a range that includes 1-100%
So while the two modifiers have a large overlap, th…
Using your example, I would use three separate variables, since "defined a goal" and "achieved [that] goal" are two different things. My diagram would be:
Defined goal --> (achieve goal --> work together)
or
Defined goal + achieve goal --&g…

Hey!
So when looking at the question, I took precondition to mean necessary assumption.
Here is my conditional relationship below:

Here's the problem and JY's explanation: https://7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-17-section-3-question-01/
My question: is the necessary condition ALWAYS a precondition to the sufficient condition? If yes, does that…
I'd suggest doing a few sets of "Misc" games to get yourself acquainted with them and their sub-types. They're far more common in the early PTs (in the 20-30 range, for instance), but they've shown up more consistently on recent tests, including 88 …
I think @canihazJD's iterative double-check is incredibly useful (I'm going to start doing that myself).
An additional way that I generally catch if I've written a rule down incorrectly is if, in an initial setup question, one of the rules knocks o…
@bearwithnohoney
I like to simplify my conditionals as best I can. So this statement:
"Hanbock cannot be shown earlier than the third week unless Ibex is shown in the first week"
... can be translated to:
"H can be shown earlier than the third …
I'd highly recommend doing the comparative passage last, since you should use a slightly different set of strategies to assess it.
I'm not sure there would be much benefit in trying to assess the other passages' difficulty during a live run, since …

On the other hand - has those who only practiced on the 7sage preptests interface to take the flex had any difficulty with the Lawhub interface during the exam?
@123anami Definitely do some RC practice on LawHub. The interfac…
Yes, you typed it the correct way.
When there are multiple pieces to one side of a bi-conditional, I generally picture that whole set in parentheses and negate it.
For instance, this statement:
( A + B ) C

@Constantine It seems like two LR sections would be good to review since the people taking the August test will have to take 4 sections if I understand correctly. Or maybe just adding a ra…
