I am not sure where else to give this feedback, but I feel like it needs to be said.

I have caught myself four weeks into the practice section of my study plan overdoing the drills. It was not until I checked the AI tutor that I realized that I needed to slow down because my studying was unproductive and I was using up fresh questions at a rapid pace. But, it seems very intuitive as per the study plan to simply generate a block, do said block, and move on. And, since I am studying full-time this summer, I was generating the 6 hour study blocks, leaving no time for anything else. Even with the blind review, and my wrong answer journal, I was doing too many drills without changing my approach to problem questions, etc. Part of this is my fault, and after putting some of my statistics and worries into chat GPT, I was able to figure out a study plan that uses less drills and focuses on my problem sections. I just wish that a study plan like that was more intuitive on this platform. This has been something that I have struggled with all the way since doing fundamentals, as well, because I was struggling to find the time to integrate live/recorded lessons, and other features of 7Sage into my intense study plan.

Anyway, this is both for the makers of 7Sage, and for people who may also be stuck drilling nonstop in the Study Plan portion. It's ok to not generate so many hours of just drills, and devote your time to review of old questions, finding patterns in your Wrong Answer Journal, and focusing on problem areas. :)

I have noticed that for this question, and other questions in the RC sections, I am often wrong on account of a very small detail (such as the "superior strength" in this question. This is not something that I have been able to remedy because of time constraints, and I am not sure how I am supposed to know which small details are necessary in my low-res summaries. Does anyone have any tips on how to retain the details of the info better?

Is it a good idea (time-wise) to maybe glance at the question stems before deciding which approach to take? (If the questions are heavy on B-passage content, then I would not choose this method.)

I am a bit confused about how we are predicting 1. how the passage is going to go and 2. what type of passage it is. What happens if you keep reading and the entire passage is actually about the colorists? It seems like we know that his passage is a spotlight passage so we approach it as one. But what about when we don't know? Each type of passage just feels so similar to me in practice that I am unsure of how to approach it. Anyone have any tips?

I have a question: does anybody else overthink the questions? I am so careful to not fall for a trap answer, I will eliminate the right answer because I am scared of a detail or maybe the wording of it. I guess that method of thinking was better for the LR sections than it is for the RC section. Does anyone have any tips for that?

I am confused about how this is relevant to the LSAT. It feels similar to the lesson on assumptions. Often when I am doing test questions, I find myself over-assuming things, and then I will course correct and UNDER assume things about the text given. I know there are levels to what makes a "reasonable" assumption or inference, but where is that line drawn?
