LSAT · Worries

Adam

Hopefully you can connect to one of these:

Count your wins. What have you improved on? Where are you improving? Give yourself some credit even if you aren't where you want to be
Count your enjoyment. Similar but hopefully you've enjoyed at least some of the process. Law school will involve a grind too so which part of the lsat grind has engaged you?
Name what you're working on. What do you know you can do? What do you know that you don't know well enough? This helps give what you need to tackle most more definition so that you know you can do beyond just "study more and study harder"
Anxiety doesn't mean you aren't prepared and still preparing. It just means you care. Don't let you caring about something paralyze you from taking action

I don't know your test day and goals but all of these apply regardless if it's in less than 2 weeks or some time in the future.

LSAT · How do I stop picking trap answers!!!

It's hard to know what the big things you can improve on without actually seeing you approach questions but here are some things that can possibly make a difference:

Know the stim as you read it. If you didn't process it, go back and read that part now rather than later.
What is your prephrase? What if x loophole? What are the things stacking up towards? What are we disagreeing over? What can resolve the paradox? If I have something in mind, it will both mean I've understood the stim and potentially have the answer already or am adjacent to it
Actively thinking always. Obvious but don't let yourself mentally slow down, and keep trying to think ahead. LSAC's whole game is trying to get you to let them sneak something by you.

This wasn't specifically about trap answers but I feel like these three rules keep me from needing to waffle on trap answers. For that I'm definitely not perfect but it limits the times trap answers can even pull a fast one.

If you are consistently feeling like you don't have time to process your ACs then it probably comes back to how efficiently you are translating the stim in your head and as you're doing that orienting yourself for the answer.

Everyone is different but if I was in your position I feel like drills just translating the stim for speed, accuracy, and having a reasonable prephrase primed would go a long way if you're willing to do a bunch of LR sections. Time is obviously limited but if you are committing 10-15+ hours a week, I doubt you would need more than two days worth of studying to see significant improvements. Then you can get back to running through timed sections or PTs to sharpen more.

Opening in a new tab from study plan

I've enjoyed the ability for 7sage to put together a study plan that utilizes the data I've fed it to cater to what it thinks I should focus on. However, one of my biggest gripes is the inability to open a suggested item into a new tab which then requires me to make my way back to the study plan after the completion of each suggested task. It's a small bit of friction but also one I feel like shouldn't be necessary.

It would also be nice if it remembered which blocks I've minimized but that's secondary to just wanting to open a task in a new tab so that I don't have to make my way back to the study plan each time.
