Thanks Nilesh!
I am having a very difficult time in setting up the premises and conclusions on sufficient assumption problem sets 1 and 2... How are you doing them? Are you also having trouble setting them up? Tips?
I was breezing through the course with ease up until this part.

Man, I cannot thank you guys enough for the encouragement! Truly happy I took 7sage, the forum is so helpful!
I am in my last semester of school and will be graduating in December. Thankfully I took my advisors advice during freshmen year. She told me to save my electives till the end so all i have left is four classes and they are all blow off electives (did my research on ratemyprofessor and some other sites, the classes are easy A's). As a couple of you all mentioned, I will be cracking down HARD. 3.5 months of strict studying.
I also know all of the concepts and methods of attacking each question very thoroughly. So, I guess it just me getting use to the test and making it second nature.
So here is my schedule
I will be taking 3 PTs a week M, W, F.
On T, Th, Sat, I will be BR the test I took the day before.
Sunday, I will be resting and watching football all day. Go Saints! Who Dat!
This leaves me with 42 PTs and an entire week before the test to chill and wind down.
What do you guys think? I will not be taking shortcuts, no half-ass, everything 100%.

So, I finished the 7Sage course last week and took my first PT today. I was nervous and a bit panicky throughout the test. I got a 148, even after the course... has anyone else gotten this low even after taking the full course? Also, I took the course seriously and did not half-ass it...
I will be taking the real LSAT this December which leaves me with roughly 3.5 months to grind out more PTs. The law school I am trying to get into accepts on average scores of 158-162. I want to be able to reach 160 so I can be on the safe side. How likely is it for me to reach that goal in this time frame? I will be taking 12 hours of classes, with no job. You can be mean...I just want to know a straight up answer.
Can someone please explain briefly the differences of these three LR question types and how we should approach each type? Just a brief, helpful, cheatsheet type of explanation would be great. Thanks!!

Thanks, so I guess I am going to stick to my method. It works for me, I only get -3 at most.
When I write the small brief main idea on the side of each paragraph, I guess I mainly do it to make sure I completely grasped the idea (reassuring myself that I know it) also to know what paragraph to look back to when a question is asking for a certain detail. Other than that, I mainly underline key words and circle what I think may show up on the questions, the latter is SUPER DUPER helpful because after doing numerous RC questions, I can almost always predict what questions will be asked just from reading the passages.
I think the memory method is great but is a bit time consuming, I am thinking of approaching it like this: after reading each paragraph, write a quick memo on the side of the paragraph of the main point, no more than 7 or 8 words. Then when you do the questions you can quickly look back at your brief summary of the main point next to each paragraph. I just think the whole turning the paper over and writing what you memorized down can take a while and a lot of times you forget exactly what the paragraph is saying, but if you write a brief memo about it right after you read a paragraph, it is still fresh in your mind.
Just my thoughts, do you agree? If not, what method works best for you?
Great idea!
