Hey, I've been thinking more since my original post... It may not be ideal for you to start with a new program, with just a month till your test, but, if not The Loophole, you might want to check out LSAT Demon. I was listening to a recent episode of the Thinking LSAT podcast, and the founders of the Demon said something that I have been thinking for some time now... They didn't explicitly say but suggested that the 7Sage (LR) curriculum is nonsense. I have to agree. There was no mention of "existential quantifiers" in The LSAT Demon/The Loophole... I felt so overwhelmed whilst working thru the 7Sage Logic curriculum. I'm convinced the 7Sage curriculum is unnecessarily complicated.

@ Maybe, maybe not. But the first 7-8 Chapters should get one far. :wink:

I have a few chapters left to finish in The Loophole, but I am already scoring -3/4 on LR sections - that's an improvement from -10 (on average). I started reading a few months ago. I plan to practice more translation in hopes of further improvements. I feel I owe a lot to the author, Ellen Cassidy. I think the Translation and CLIR Drills are brilliant. The rest of the book is not proprietary. Though, she might help to explain certain concepts/strategies in simpler terms. Highly recommend!

There is no quick fix. You'll get out of it what you put into it. If your aim is to do your best, maybe consider delaying the LSAT until you feel you are ready. I don't think you should be drilling LR questions (and taking practice tests) until you at least get down some of the basics (like Conditional Reasoning + Negation and SA/NA). You could argue that there are plenty of tests to work with, but...

Best of luck! Keep pushing! :)

Check out the LSAT Demon’s approach. You shouldn’t be highlighting/marking passages. It’s a waste of time, IMO. To be frank, working as an attorney, you’re going to be spending an awful lot of time reading and writing on a computer. Best get used to it. Best of luck! :)

I hate to be that person, but lawyers are anything but in demand. If you don’t have specific plans for your legal career and you don’t have a compelling reason to go to law school, please don’t go to law school. Law school could easily lead to financial ruin. I know many lawyers who are unhappy. Worse, I know many lawyers who are unemployed. The legal market is saturated. If you think you can be just as happy continuing your full-time job, by all means, do it.
