Are you supposed to finish every problem set for each LR question type in the core curriculum before you move on to a new LR question type?

Thanks Matt, those were my exact thoughts.
Go forward with the mindset of doing at least 1 question a day. It's hard to cram this stuff. You'll be surprised if you give yourself more time.
A good thing to remember is conceptualizing contrapositive of group 3 and group 4 logical indicators for whatever idea you choose to make as SC and NC.
Your example: /Play -> Dark. Translated back to english: if we did not play, then it was dark.
Contrapositive: /Dark -> Play. Translated back to english: if it was not dark, then we played.
As you can see, either works.
TBH it is a gut punch. LG is my easiest section. I do not feel good about this change at all.
18 months isn't too long. Just study at least an hour a day and at the very least do 1 question a day. You'll be surprised at how quickly things come back to you.
You're only 4 weeks in and studying a lot of hours per day. Simply, it's just going to take time to complete the CC and translate everything over to PTing/BR. There is no magic pill for the LSAT. Also, be careful about burning yourself out. Telperion made the analogy that the LSAT is like a 5k race. What I would add to Telperion's comment is that you also want endurance/stamina. Grinding yourself down with so many hours of studying per day and finding disappointment in missed questions isn't going to be fun. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You've clearly made that first single step and quite a few other steps as well in your LSAT journey! Just know it'll take time.
Have a great weekend coming up!
Stick it out with 7sage's core curriculum to lay the foundations but using other study materials I think is beneficial. I recently discovered LSAT Demon's podcast and just hearing other instructors perspectives, I think has been beneficial for me.
Don't study for too long on any given day. Your first hour of studying is going to be more enriching and productive than say your 4th or 5th hour of studying in that same day. You have to let everything you learn sink in.
I really wouldn't worry about it. In some instances, law firms will look for someone who they can train and count on being with the firm for a long time. If you want some experience as a paralegal before going to law school, I would just be ambiguous about those plans in future paralegal interviews.
