Hi everyone!
My name is Jackson, and I have a little bit of an unorthodox path.
I'm 27, and have worked in Corporate Finance for the last 5 years. For a multitude of reasons, I have committed to a career change, and am now studying for the LSAT, with plans to take the test in June, apply in the fall, and begin in Fall 2027.
I took a timed practice test with no prep prior to building out a study plan and scored a 165 (LR -7, RC -9). With that, 7Sage recommended 19 weeks of Just Practice, meaning no lessons, just answering/reviewing/analyzing questions. However, I am a little worried that I don't totally understand the underlying concepts and am getting by on intuition (e.g. Upon reviewing questions I got correct, I don't totally understand the underlying analysis/explanation).
Should I opt for an Accelerated path to ensure I have exposure to the fundamental concepts? Should I supplement that with PTs on the weekends during the Non-Practice phase for a hybrid approach? Or should I just go with the Just Practice approach?
Thank you for spending the time to read through this. Any and all feedback is appreciated!
One issue I have with the answer descriptions:
For C:
The difference between 2 and many is cited as the reason this answer is wrong, which conflicts with the LR Lessons regarding the relationship of some/many/most/all, chiefly that some and many should be considered the same (or similar) and some is 2+ (the exact lesson was framed as the LSAT does not expect you to make distinctions on this basis, "I have never seen them do this", etc).
IMO the stronger reason this question is wrong (and how I eliminated it during drill) is the following discrepancy:
-C Premise: Reviewers who ENJOYED novel didn't want sequel
-C Conclusion: Next reviewer won't want sequel
--ie C Premise refers to a subset of reviewers who enjoyed the novel, whereas C Conc. does not put the next reviewer in that subset
Compare this to the Passage:
-P Premise: Pilots who flew plane didn't have difficulty operating
-P Conclusion: Next pilot who flys plane won't have difficulty operating
--ie both Premise and Conc. refer to the same set of pilots
