oh my lordy, so happy for you stranger! have any tips for RC?? RC is where i lose the most points. i struggle w timing the most and rarely get to the 4th passage. i do low res summaries but just not well enough to not have to refer back to the passage while going through questions. maybe i just need to drill a lot?? idk, any tips would be helpful!
So happy for you, congratulations!!
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!!!
NA questions have had an absolute chokehold on me and this is the first NA question i got right! was a minute over the time limit, but it makes sense! a win is a win, hopefully it continues to click :,)
@lawschoolready? okie thats a great strategy! ive been trying to do that, but enforce no upper limit on timing for passages and then end up running out of time :,( . im going to try a harsh limit of 3 minutes per passage and see how it goes. thank you!
