Sharing this here in case it helps anyone: in the process of making a flowchart for answering any LSAT question. Will update as I work through the content, but goal is to be able to visually map out the algorithms 7sage is teaching us all in one spot!
Make a copy if it helps. Message me if you find something that needs editing. Check back regularly for updates. My exam is Sept 2026 so it'll be done by then!
Personally, whenever I get stuck on a sentence of the stimulus, it won't make sense no matter how many times I reread it before I move on.
The advice of "don’t read further if you don’t understand the line you just read" isn't always feasible. The context you get from the other sentences can often help!
Highlight feature would be great. pretty sure the classic site had that feature. The new site should just add more features, not take any away :( #feedback
Seems like Step 4 can be dangerous. Lots of times I get an idea of what the answer "should" look like, but then I read the answer choices and one or more of them will open up an idea or possibility that I hadn't considered, but I'm kind of "married" to the idea I had before reading the answer choices. Seems like we bias ourselves with this, possibly away from the correct answer.
@mattrettig I find that every time I go against my "prediction" the answer is wrong because I start overthinking. It's a slippery slope that's different for each person
I'm using my browser to read the text out loud since there isn't a video explanation. There's no visuals obviously (drawings, etc.) like the videos often have, but I notice it's helping me get through the material without having to concentrate on starting at all the text on my computer screen. Might not work for everyone (I'm a visual learner so I still like videos best) but just wanted to put the idea out there!

Excited to potentially be able to do all of this in about a minute thirty
identify stem
read stimulus
identify premise and conclusion
identify assumptions
anticipate the answer
then hunt for answer
sounds simple enough
This is exciting 🔥🎂

@mattrettig I was thinking the same thing, i feel like it's useful to read each answer

The papyrus background is nice, I think we need a darker mode, not flat black, but maybe dark grey or something.
#feedback In step 3.5 the second sentence should probably be "these include:" rather than "these include,"
tldr swap the comma for a colon

@lain.ee.bb how did you get your browser to read it out loud?

Random but does anyone take advantage of the notes? I may ask this later on
I’ve been making notes. I’ll put the review questions as main then right notes for me under each question. Just helps
