When you get a question wrong you haven't just missed the correct answer, but have actively chosen a wrong answer. What makes a trap answer so alluring? Often a bad answer would be correct if allowed an assumption that's just a step too far. Learn to effectively scrutinize attractive answer choices, and stop feeding trap answers the assumptions they crave! The class does one question together as a warm up. After that, students will get 2-3 minutes to attempt each question on their own before reviewing with the instructor.

Max graduated from the University of Notre Dame and spent a year teaching in London as the recipient of the Colet Fellowship. While in London, he also worked in international undergraduate admissions, and his pupils were admitted into undergraduate programs at schools like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. He believes that even the most difficult subject matter can be learned through hard work and practice, and this belief led him to a job tutoring with 7Sage. The LSAT is a difficult test, but Max believes that a student-centric approach like the one used at 7Sage is the best way to approach a test that can define educational and career outcomes for years to come. When he’s not tutoring, Max can be found rowing, petting his German Shepherds, or talking about Notre Dame’s football program.
