A lot of the LSAT isn’t intuitive, and sometimes learning a single pattern can completely change how you approach a question.
For example, in Reading Comprehension, if an author presents two opposing perspectives but never explicitly states their own position, the final perspective presented may help reveal the author’s implied stance and the passage’s main point—especially if the author leaves that perspective unchallenged. This isn’t an absolute rule, of course; you still need textual support.
What are some non-intuitive LSAT insights or strategies you’ve learned through 7Sage? Share anything that made you think, “I never would’ve figured that out on my own!”

This might be intuitive for some, but for someone who was never great at math, taking some time to formally learn De Morgan's Law was quite helpful. It basically explains how negation works with AND and OR. When you negate a statement with multiple parts, you flip AND to OR (or vice versa) and negate each part.
NOT (A AND B) = (NOT A) OR (NOT B)
NOT (A OR B) = (NOT A) AND (NOT B)
Again, might be common sense to some people, but it helped me!
Not from 7Sage (I took the LSAT long before 7Sage existed) but just taking control of the order of the passages and questions. Reading the question stem before the stimulus. We are SO conditioned to go in order and not deviate from that that we don't even think to question whether there's a more efficient way.
