I felt like it made sense when I started practicing
Our Core Curriculum has helped a lot of students achieve their goal scores, but it's not for everyone. If you want to skip it, you can build a Study Plan set to "Just Practice".

The structure of the program is to help the students understand the fundamentals first so drills and tests will be easier and make more sense. I did some drills on LawHub before registering for 7Sage and I'm finding all the lessons very helpful. You are investing your time (and money) for a better LSAT score. But if you feel like you have the fundamentals down, you can skip to the drills and come back to the material if the need be.
At what point did you guys start drilling while in the core curriculum? Wondering when I should start drilling question types...
I moved through the core curriculum quickly several months ago, not watching any of the videos -- and paid for that haste. I wound up referring to it frequently as it became clear to me by my wrong LR answers that I had not understood some important fundamentals. My time would have been more efficiently spent completing the core curriculum exactly as it's designed, at a reasonable pace, including most of the videos, really making sure I was comfortable and conversant with the concepts. It's a well designed, thoughtful program -- that's my 2 cents.
Honestly, I felt the exact same when I first started learning with 7Sage (about a year and a half ago). Going over basics like grammar, language, and the difference between truth and validity, can feel really tedious and a waste of your time, especially when it feels like you're not learning/practicing the "actual content" of the test. But trust me when I tell you that those skills become foundational to doing problems of various difficulty levels efficiently and with high accuracy later on. Skills like subconsciously knowing sufficient/necessary indicators and their meanings and parsing complex sentences are crucial not only to accurately understanding the stimulus in LR but also in RC. I can assure you it isn't a waste of time, so trust the process and keep going! If I could change one thing about how I went through 7Sage's syllabus/my study technique, it's doing more drilling and learning the question types at the same time as the foundational skills in the syllabus. This way, you can learn the content of the test at the same time as the foundational skills. Of course, I'm not a LSAT tutor so you can take my advice with a grain of salt or take whatever resonates. But definitely do what works best for you, and trust the study process!! Also a lot of people recommend supplementing 7Sage with other text books like Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer or the Powerscore LR/RC books. Hope this helps!!!
Personally, I think it offers valuable insight into how to interpret both the question stem and the text itself. It might feel a bit redundant if you’re already familiar with the format, but it helped me see LSAT questions differently—almost like piecing together a puzzle.
