😖 Frustrated

Timed or Untimed???

Hi everyone! I’m writing another discussion post because I’d really like to hear your opinions on this. I recently started the study plan on this platform and chose the accelerated path for Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. I customized it so I’m working through the theory alongside the in-lesson untimed practice drills, and I’ve also been doing some additional untimed drilling on the side to make sure I’m retaining what I’ve learned.

Right now, I’m following the schedule pretty closely, but I try to get ahead when I have the time, so I’ll likely finish the theory portion earlier than expected. At the same time, I’m being careful to slow down and really understand the concepts and what to look for when answering questions, rather than rushing through the material.

My main dilemma is whether I should start incorporating timed drills now or wait until I begin my practice blocks, where the plan naturally shifts to timed practice. I’ve heard that doing timed practice too early can be counterproductive since I’m still learning the concepts and figuring out how to apply them. Introducing timed drills at this stage could hurt confidence, especially if the focus shifts from understanding the material to beating the clock. While I know timing is an important skill to develop, I’m wondering if it’s better to save that for later in the process.

When you do start the practice blocks, I’ve noticed that much of the work is timed, which makes sense because that’s when you really start to evaluate accuracy under time pressure. It also helps clarify whether missed questions are due to gaps in understanding or timing issues. That said, I’m curious to know how others handle this transition. Do you still incorporate additional untimed practice outside of the practice blocks? If so, how do you structure it?

I’m just trying to figure out the best approach here, since there seem to be mixed opinions, and I’m still working through what makes the most sense at this stage of studying.

@clubclassics i actually have not thought about taking another cold PT i should probably look into doing that. how would you recommend going about my study plan after doing another PT? you can always send me a message on 7sage and explain this if you do not want to post it here!!!!

@NathanSchlessman hey thanks for responding! just wondering is it in my best interest to do a couple drill sessions after doing the logical reasoning curriculum for each question type and then moving on? or doing only what is in my study plan and then focus on drilling when my practice block starts? from past experience studying for the LSAT last year i saw that sometimes knowing other question types helped with solving other question types (hopefully that makes sense)... OR should I be really learning each question type and doing drills until I'm getting them all right?? Essentially, would it be better to just focus on the study plan for every day and worry about drilling all the types of questions once I'm in the practice stage? I don't want to wait until my practice stage and then im screwing up when I could've taken some more time to practice each question type when learning it???

🫠 Annoyed

My study plan isn’t quite clicking yet.

Hi everyone! I’m new to the 7Sage platform. I actually used it briefly before the big update last April when I first started studying for the LSAT, so I’m familiar with the test itself. That said, I’m now coming back to it and essentially restarting Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension (really trying to understand each question type and why they function the way they do), and then moving into a practice block with about 10 weeks to go before the June LSAT. (Feeling like 10 weeks of practice won't be nearly enough...)

I’m finding it a bit difficult to gauge whether the amount of work I’m doing is enough. I tend to second-guess myself and get stuck in my own head, wondering, do I really understand this question type? I know that some of this is theory-based and that improvement comes with time and exposure, but I’m struggling with the feeling that I’m not doing enough—even when I’m sticking to my plan.

I’m currently studying about 1–2 hours a day while also completing a post-grad accounting program and job searching, so my schedule is pretty full. I’m also paying for the monthly subscription (unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a fee waiver), so I really want to make sure I’m using the platform effectively.

For those of you who’ve been through this: how do you supplement question types into your study plan (I know drilling is SUPER important)? Any tips or reassurance would be really appreciated. And if anyone has taken the LSAT using the 7Sage platform for studying, I’d especially love to hear about your experience.

Thanks so much in advance!
