Totally, I find it so easy to do though. Time and time again I have to write "don't make assumptions" to myself. I'm hopeful that overtime I can break this habit
Off topic subject. On average, how long do you guys study for? I try to do at least an hour every day but juggling my coursework with this is challenging. I'm taking the LSAT in June. How are you guys holding up?
I'm taking it a second time in April, and probably do about 6-10 hours a week. It is really hard to balance with schoolwork, but I've been trying to do more intensive studying on days with less classes, and do quicker drills on days with more classes and use those to catch up on schoolwork. I've found it helpful just so that I can devote more brainpower and time to the LSAT a few days a week rather than being exhausted and trying to study.
in the same boat here. getting to the point in the semester where its starting to get harder to balance studying for LSAT every day with keeping on top of assignments and studying for midterms etc. Some days i definitely study longer than others. I try to do about 1-2 hours a day but unfortunately find myself in the past week or two having to skip some days because I have school work to do :/
I work full time, so I get it. I try to study 5-6 days a week. Weekdays for 2 hours and 3-4 hours on Saturday and Sunday. It's tough. I always feel guilty for skipping days but breaks are needed. 12-16 hours a week
As J.Y stated in the video, the reason he explains at great lengths every detail of the stimulus and the answer choices is to deepen your understanding of LR as a whole. The main goal at this stage of your LSAT journey is to understand how to solve MSS-MC type questions, not answer them with speed. However, with knowledge and understanding, speed can and hopefully will follow with practice. Speed should simply not be your main concern right now.
Hope this helped!
P.S. Don't worry about the timer on the drills that follow many of the lessons, it should be used later after you actually understand the question types of LR
@CamilleApril6 I honestly am not sure this strategy works, I feel like coming to the natural conclusion of these fill in the blanks as you read the stimulus prepares you a lot better for the traps that come up than reading the answers first
These questions are easier for me because there is a general principle or claim that draws on the pattern between the premise and the conclusion, making the correct answer predictable.
I am SHOCKED answer B is not more popular. I need to get better at these. I think I woulda landed on C, but B is so tempting if you speed read the question
#feedback It would be helpful to have a difficulty comparison with the average LSAT q on these. I get a really good handle on these example q's in the lessons, but do not want to be overconfident when approaching real drill sets :)

"there's nothing wrong with normal buts"

@robertadida4 I was about to say, I might be 5 years old but that was hilarious to me too xD
"What really stuck with you from the 7Sage LSAT course?"
One time JY said he likes normal butts
@ManusWeber he be making weird comments lmfaoooooo
I hope the LSAT is this easy lol
@LawyeRell took it in april, unfortunately it's not :((
Just remember folks.....You should always immerse yourself into the stimulus and try not to bring a whole lot of outside knowledge to the question.
I honestly picked "D" rather than "C" because of my former personal trainer occupation.
Oops....

This video was the best explanation of any question I've seen. At least for me, it was the perfect explanation.
Thank you!
got it right but i felt like i was on a roller coaster trying to read the stimulus
Not gonna lie...just the word childrearing messed me up lol

how do we do all this with time constraints
Slow is smooth, smooth is quick.
honestly, i think it's going to come down to intense repetition to identify a pattern so doing this rly fast becomes like second nature

thank you for this comment :)
Ive done a few prep test prior to doing these LR courses and I'm seeing so many questions that I've done.
everytime i see ur comment i think of earl sweatshirt lyric about courage the cowardly dog
Hi twin lol
just like me fr
I wish they would show the stim and choices all at once all the time (like LawHub does it I'm sorry) </3
@lisuey818 The "show question" button is similar, if that helps! :)
@Sally i love you
@lisuey818 🙈
I hate the strategy of reading the answer choices first ….

if you click answers below the video, you will see the difficulty of the question
OOhhh this was a good one. I would've gotten it wrong because I was thinking about television.
It should be noted that the domain for the principle in the stimulus is "childrearing."
This was perfectly explained!
