To all those that need a video: What if you look at these pages that don't have videos as a way of prepping for lsat questions? I mean, each page is an attempt to convince one to approach lsat questions a certain way, so each page is an argument. If you can see the conclusion and premises on each page, you're essentially using 7sage info in a practical way.
Also, why be a lawyer if you are adverse to reading?
In MSS questions is that I am weak to answers that are in the "merely consist with" part of the support spectrum. The fact that there is no support makes me think that I may have missed something in the stimulus and I thus have trouble eliminating them in difficult MSS questions.
I have to remember that "merely consist with" claims have NO support relationship with each other. They could be true and could be false - there is NOT ENOUGH information. ANCHOR yourself to the stimulus and trace the support back to what is in the stimulus! And don't smuggle in any assumption of yours to support it! Remember the task at hand!
Hi everyone! I noticed that everyone also struggles with understanding the long blocks of texts but what I found helpful was downloading a text-to-speech extension from the google chrome store!
While I do agree that a video would be helpful, I'm gonna use the lack of video to help improve my reading comprehension skills. Sometimes the info in a video goes in one ear and out the other.
Anchor yourself to the stimulus. Don't use your knowledge but use the claims to help support your thought process behind the correct answer choice. If you have to fill in too many holes chances are the answer is not valid.
My mind is naturally lazy and tries to make sense of these stimuli by "filling in the blanks" with experience.
Really...this feels like training the mind's executive control to not take the shortcuts - to see something as it is not what one's mind finds it easy to see.
@lesteryxue same here but it's not that our brains are lazy we have been trained for those of us who paid attention in school LOL how to develop our intuition and this is all really almost antithetical to the use of intuition. I mean think about it if you're pleading a case in court it's all based on evidence and intuition is not evidence so don't be too hard on yourself but just learn to tighten down our think our thinking process at least that's what I'm trying to do
@lesteryxue in psychology that is called System 1 thinking, and yes, we definitely want to use System 2 thinking during this test. Until the processes are trained enough to be System 1 thinking. Those people are the 180 scorers imo lol
Yeah I definitely think the long explanations are not working in their favor, I think just practicing and videos are definitely what works for me I am slowly getting better but just drilling and trying to learn new techniques.
#feedback . With so many bad reviews on this section, why hasn't it been rewritten? Students are paying good money for this service, are giving GOOD feedback, and nothing is being done about it...
#feedback I would say this lesson needs a video, and maybe, a rewrite. It's sad that I understood the lesson, by another student commenting, and broke it down for us.
#feedback The last paragraph first sentence - "consistent with" should be "merely consistent with". Although I prefer video lessons like most other comments here pointed out, I don't mind reading to get the knowledge I need. But please make it correct so students can easily follow along. When you give a specific name in order to refer back later, it's hard to digest if the reference later recalls the wrong name....
#feedback I share the same sentiment as everyone else in the comments who dislike the texts. If you guys won't make videos, can you at least incorporate an AI software that reads these texts for us? It would be more engaging for me
#feedback, did whoever write this section actually read it afterwards?
It is overly complicated, and contributes absolutely nothing. In fact, I'd even say that a section like this does more damage than good. Students waste too much time getting tripped up by overly wordy sections and it takes time away from meaningful studying. They also are left feeling discouraged because they don't understand, when in reality in this case it is the "teacher's" fault.
Multiple paragraphs simply to say "the right answer will have the most support from the passage"
@eburst87 LOL, you said exactly what I was feeling..I'm like.. okay.... so this was super wordy and over convoluted for absolutely no reason. But I guess this is how cases we read as attorneys will be.

people complaining about reading a few paragraphs...y'all are cooked

@ManusWeber good call! Lemons can be converted into lemonade.
#feedback i would really benefit from a video.
#feedback this really needs to be made into a video
This lesson definitely needs a video
No video??

Would be nice to be in a video
reading this? i'm cooked

Since this lesson also made everyone else in the comments feel dumb I will add this sentence towards the end:
"Sometimes, you'll smuggle in an assumption and chose the wrong answer because the assumption (that you smuggled in) supports it."
It took me 10 minutes and then a google search to convince myself that "choose" is still a word and that I did not make it up.
Yeah I definitely think the long explanations are not working in their favor, I think just practicing and videos are definitely what works for me I am slowly getting better but just drilling and trying to learn new techniques.
my brain hurts and I just started studying... this lesson needs to be re-written or needs a video to better explain.

@sjm0515 me too I just re started for my afternoon session and this is really making me wanna do anything else
#feedback - In dark mode, the wording in the spectrum graphic does not clearly appear

7Sage, do better.
Why not in video form?

I wish this was in video form as I am a visual and verbal learner D:
