Can you describe for me what about this question you are having difficulty (if any) getting a handle on? I believe this conversation would be fruitful if I knew your thinking process on this question, that way we can isolate the strengths or weakne…

Do you mean that your other option would be to take the snack (lets say a protein bar) out of its packaging and put it into a clear sandwich bag? If I have interpreted that correctly, I find this to be an odd ruling.
-
Just curious, where can we see the ranking of the section as a whole? I have not taken the exam, but just ran the analytics and it looks like only the first passage is 2/5.
-
I haven't taken a whole bunch of PTs, but is this question originally the red admiral butterfly question? I have it on my fridge because I read someone saying this question contained a weird structure. I would go with (A).
-
This at bottom is a weakening question. I have sketched two (badly drawn) diagrams below. The first is what the stimulus tells us. The stimulus actually tells us that the proposed cause of the extinction was an asteroid that hit the earth, scatte…

I just did the "Law of apparent reality" passage Wednesday. It was in my drill set. I found 2 of the questions to be pretty challenging. I have not looked at 81's games, but I'll certainly keep this post in mind.

This question is highly formulaic. It contains a form we should have experience with, it even employs a trick (as we shall see in a bit) that the occasional sufficient assumption question employs. I did this question because this category of suffi…

As objectively as I can look at this, it seems you are absolutely capable of hitting 170+ on the exam. I believe the problem is that RC might hold you back a bit come test day. Or, RC might not hold you back come test day: a -3 or a -2 is a very r…

I see three hurdles with difficult flaw questions: -the gap between the premise and conclusion might be so odd and the argument might be so bad that it is difficult to put into words when we are trying to anticipate the correct answer -the gap bet…
-
I do not think that the difference as far as flaw questions go on the LSAT is something necessarily we would be asked to differentiate: at least for the vast majority of sufficient/necessary flaws. If an argument gives us: A---->B a sufficient…

My apologies for the double post, but as far as breaking down and argument's structure, the grammar lessons in 7Sage's core curriculum are very helpful. Here is a link: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/grammar-subject-predicate-details/

Main point questions are the foundation of the LR section. Nearly every question type requires of us the ability to identify and separate the main point from the supporting premise(s). The importance of identifying the main point of a stimulus sim…

I hope there is room for one more in your group, life has been hectic lately, but I'm thinking Feb/June for my take.
-
A could be true is something that does not contradict the information in the stimulus: particularly, often the conditional reasoning in the stimulus. Wholly irrelevant information could (potentially) be true. What I mean by this is that the irrele…
-
The first thing we should always do when we are down to two answer choices is to figure out what makes them different. Often there might be a key part in the answer choice that differentiates it from the other answer choice and therefore makes it t…
-
I believe the questions from all of those exams are categorized in the question bank, but there are (to my knowledge) no individual explanations for the LR and RC from these specific exams on 7Sage. 7Sage does provide the explanations for the games…
-
I do not think they come with the 7Sage Ultimate+. I actually believe Feb97 is the hardest test to get ahold of: because (those who know more can correct me here) I do not think it was released by LSAC in the form of a "10 actual" set or individual…

-8/-9 curves are always difficult in my estimation. There is so little room for error. I've looked at the June 07 exam quite a bit and there are 2-3 questions on that exam that I think I would miss 9/10 times. I write this as someone fairly compe…
-
@"Paul Caint" which game on PT 71 are you referencing? There is actually 2 rule substitution questions on that exam.

@salmachh cookie cutter questions are those that employ a repetitive framework often unobscured by the clever ways the LSAT might obscure them. An example of a cookie cutter form would be: a claim that two things are correlated in the premise follo…
-
For every PT I take, I read and analyze every LR question a minimum of 5 times for the cookie cutter ones and often upwards 20 times for the more difficult ones. I parse out the structure of the argument, I also parse out whether the argument emplo…
-
The LSAT does allow us to take into consideration outside knowledge. I think the idea that we should labor to not include any outside information into our assessment of answer choices at a certain point can be counterproductive. Check out: 76-2-10…

PT C is in my estimation the single hardest LG section in LSAT history. If you can score a -0 on PT C in 34 minutes: you are ready for basically anything the LSAT can throw at you on LG.
-
As an aside, it is the preferred method of these forums to link to the question with the following framework: PT number/Section number/question number. For this particular question it would be: PT 32 Section1 Question 22. Now, more specifically, t…
-
I personally would not be terribly concerned. Getting a -0/-1 on LG is only a portion of the battle. Sustaining a -0/-1 across lets say 2 dozen LG sections is harder. I think of an analogy whenever I have to go back and drill something into my ap…
-
PT 68 is a difficult LG section. I do not think it is indicative of the 60-80 range as a whole, but rather a cut above most of those in that set as far as overall difficulty. In my opinion, PT 68 should be along side PT C, PT 57 and PT 27 as really…

I took a more intuitive approach/understanding of this rule when I diagrammed it. If a more intuitive approach to this rule is not what you are looking for with your inquiry, please disregard the remainder of this post. I hope to shed some light o…

What we are asked to do is most strengthen the argument here. What (A) tells us is that “sometimes” when have the effect we see above, we have the cause we see above. But it doesn’t actually say that: (A) says sometimes we have the effect we see a…
-
I have yet to take this PT, but I took a look at this question briefly in order to assist you. We are trying to strengthen the reasoning in the argument. One of the ways that we can do that is by making the existing premises more relevant to the c…

Unique games often pose a real challenge. I think our primary goal should be to minimize all damage the game might pose to our section's score. This means that we should be comfortable implementing a three pronged strategy to the section: 1.We mu…
