Hey there! This question is a Method of Reasoning question, not a MSS, and I don't see 'dominant' in D. Do you have the wrong citation by chance?
-
Hey there! Can you be a little more specific with your question? Which answer choices are you having trouble with specifically?

Something we introduce to students in tutoring (and can be seen for most of JYs videos on A/B passages) is the strategy to read passage A, and go through the questions with only passage A in your head first. This eliminates confusing the content wit…

Hey Leon! In essence, the answer is going to be yes. "The more Xs, the more Ys" inherently also means if you have less Xs, you will also have less Ys. These are both considered a positive correlation. A negative correlation is when one property …

Hey there, The issue could be a number of things, but I think 7Sage tutoring might be able to help if we talked to you a little bit to figure some things out! If you're interested, feel free to schedule a consultation with us so we can take a look…

@manzanita You're more than welcome to, but I want to emphasize that this should not replace the work that needs to be done with the Core Curriculum. So make sure to still be working on it while you're attending class!
-
Do some problem sets and practice sections untimed to get back into the groove of things, blind reviewing and looking at JY's explanations for things you're struggling with. Then when you're comfortable, take a timed PT diagnostic to help you asses…

@jeffreycashdollar Unfortunately the class isn't prorated, but if you're interested in individual tutoring to help increase your score, that can be more worth it for you! You can find out more here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-tutoring/ @cofacto…

Hey there! When you were working in the core curriculum, you were already full proofing by game type. It's best to expose yourself to the randomness of the games because that's how it's going to be on the real test date. (Kind of similar to logical…

@josuelv288 said: I guess one thing that I have noticed that gets me frustrated is I don't really know at times if the LSAT wants me to use common sense logical analysis or deep conditional/causation/Comparison logic. I have literally gotten a…

Hey there! I think you're definitely on point. Here's a little bit on my thought process: When reading the first sentence, I had to translate it into a clear "if..then" statement before moving on (the word "no" is a group 4 conditional indicator)…

Hey @sweat49! We just opened another 10-week session that I'll be teaching! There's more info about it here: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/32037/7sage-live-class-may Let me know if you have any questions! Hope to see you there.…

For flaw questions, I like to employ JY's step process in the ACs: I ask myself two questions: 1) Does this describe what's happening in the argument? (If the answer is no, eliminate the AC. If the answer is yes, move on to question 2.) 2) Is thi…

Great timing on this question! I'll be posting on our newsletter this week about how to best utilize the core curriculum. Within a module of the CC, sometimes there can be over 20 problem sets. They go from easy to hard difficulty. I'd do as many …
-
Hey there! Essentially, with one less LR section to score, RC and LG are now worth more. To give you an idea of the scoring, for the May 2020 LSAT flex, you could miss 9 questions and land at a 170. It looks like the LSAC is planning on providing …
-
Hey there! By "open games" do you mean games where there is not an exact number of game pieces that has to be in each group? Sometimes, the reason why these games are challenging for some of my students will be because they are not taking stock of …

AHHH!!! Congratulations on an amazing score!!!!! I'm so proud of you! You're going to make an amazing lawyer!

Lol, I love this title.

I wouldn't do all of the modern ones, but I also wouldn't do 1-15. I'd say start from PT 60, and do every even PT or every odd PT. Save some of the modern ones just in case you need to retake, so you'll have insurance.
-
Because you're eliminating the correct answer choice, it means we're being too strict. With inference questions, make sure you're not using the wrong justification to eliminate answer choices. If you're thinking "this isn't supported because it's n…

Hey there! In the world where you have unlimited resources and unlimited time to study, you should be doing both - taking a deep dive into the questions/passages while also factoring in the time component. But there comes a time where taking a deep…

Thanks all for coming tonight. If you have any questions, feel free to DM!

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight! Comment here if you have any questions.

Hey everyone! Happy new year! I posted a preview of what we'll be discussing on our newsletter. Check it out here: https://7sage.substack.com/p/webinar-preview-utilizing-the-7sage?r=12mgue&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I took a PT three days before my actual PT date, and it helped me practice my processes and strategies before the my real take. However, I did not grade the PT. My thought was if I did bad, I would freak myself out. If I did well, I might be too ove…

Abstract philosophical stimuli are hard! I recommend coming up with an example to make the abstract concept concrete. For example: The only justification for one to launder funds from the rich is to distribute such funds evenly to disadvantaged po…

It's so awesome that 7sage gives out these scholarships. Congratulations to the winners!

I'd argue here the LSAT is making us use what they call "common sense assumptions" with the word "significant" To the LSAT, what does it mean to be a "significant" pay raise? In LSAT terms, I read significant as important enough to be of note. Wit…

@ninamatryoshka definitely knows her stuff and I am super proud of her progress on this test! I would definitely recommend coming to this session if you struggle with Logic Games!

Hey there! I would argue (D) is attacking the premise, and I would also say attacking a premise is a valid way of weakening an argument. I know JY says that we shouldn't try to look for questions that attack the premise. It's because usually, 99% …
