I think people worry about timing way too much, especially early on.
You’re not going to meaningfully improve your speed before you improve your accuracy and understanding. It makes way more sense to take your time and get a question right than to get it wrong because you’re trying to hit some arbitrary pace.
I also think 7Sage’s target timing is kind of misleading if people take it too seriously. It may be fine as a rough benchmark, but it doesn’t reflect how people actually perform. Most people are not equally fast across every question type. It’s completely normal to be slower on something like Flaw questions and much faster on Main Conclusion questions, or the other way around. People have different strengths, and their timing is going to reflect that. Even the subject matter can affect timing too since some people will naturally move faster through something like history and slower through science, art, or anything else they are less comfortable with.
@KateA 7Sage is quite gentle compared to the way LSAT Demon breaks down answer choices. When studying for the LSAT, expect to make over 1,000 blunders along the way
@Kellbell206 I would finish CC first, then do some drilling without overdoing it and make sure you understand each problem. When you feel ready, start adding in full practice tests no more than once a week or at most two or three sections per week. In my opinion, CC and drilling are more important at the beginning than just doing practice tests and sections. I’ve found class is the least helpful, but you can attend if you want.
Everyone is different, so the biggest takeaway is to do what you can do consistently. If that means attending classes or only being able to do CC, then do that. Consistency is key.

Original Sentence: I would not be able to see Arun if he were in the next room.
Modified Sentence: If he were in the next room, then I would not be able to see Arun.
Sometimes you need to flip the order of the clauses in a conditional sentence. Think of IF → THEN like a math equation. The sentence has two parts: X and Y.
X is the condition, so it always goes in the “if” part of the sentence.
In this example, “if he were in the next room” is X. Since X is the “if” part, you put it first.
