It’s strange that I can answer the challenging questions correctly, but I sometimes get the simpler ones wrong.
Correlation: = two things move together (not saying one causes the other)
Causation: = one thing makes the other happen
Test: If you can say “X happened → made Y happen,” that’s causation. If you can only say “X and Y show up together,” that’s correlation.
Reminder Trick:
Correlation = Co-occur Causation = Cause + Effect
The main takeaway from every lesson is -- every word is important!
I got it correct !!!!
5/5 — Something that helped me with these: I scan for words like “unless” or “if” first and read that part of the sentence before the rest. That helps me figure out what the sufficient condition (or exception) is before I build the rule. It makes the structure a lot less overwhelming.
One thing that has helped me is watching lessons and then drilling SA and NA-type questions! Eventually, it will all make sense.
I don’t think we’ll have time to diagram on the test, so would the best way to approach chained conditionals be to remember indicators? Right?
@yam I had the same question. Watch this podcast on conditionals — it was really helpful to me.
I just wanted to thank everyone who commented and shared their feedback! Your thoughts and ideas have really helped me a lot during my first week of studying!
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a little context and also ask for advice from anyone who has navigated LSAT prep with ADHD.
I recently realized/was diagnosed with ADHD, and looking back, it explains a lot about my first LSAT experience. I took the LSAT in November 2024, before I fully understood how my brain works, and after that test I took a break. I’m now starting back with a clearer understanding of myself and a more intentional approach to studying.
One thing I’m already noticing is that familiarity and structure make a huge difference for me. When the test feels unfamiliar, my focus drops quickly, but when I understand the question types and patterns, my attention improves a lot. I’m planning to follow the 7Sage study guide closely and really focus on mastering fundamentals rather than rushing.
For those of you with ADHD (or who’ve found strategies that help with focus and consistency), I’d love to hear:
What study habits or routines helped you the most?
Did you find drilling vs. full sections more effective early on?
How did you manage timing, burnout, or mental fatigue?
Any mindset shifts that made prep feel more manageable?
I really appreciate any insights you’re willing to share. Thanks in advance — it helps a lot to learn from people who’ve been through this.
Best of luck to everyone studying!
I GOT IT RIGHT!!
