when to move on to a new type of game?

Hi all,

I recently started 7sage with my main focus being on games--I did do the conditional lessons and a few other previous lessons and am now working a ton of sequencing problems. When should I move on to "sequencing with a twist?" after I can pick up any random new game I haven't seen and can do it perfectly and in time? Or after I am substantially faster and better (though not perfect and on exactly time) on sequencing? How many questions would you go through with the practice-make copies-review-process before moving to the next games lesson? I'm worried I'll just be practicing some games forever without learning new techniques ever...studying for the October but most likely will change test date for December, but still want to be studying at a decent rate as if taking the october (in case a miracle happens and I decide I want to take it)

Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Hi,

In my opinion, you may not need to practice until perfection at first. Work until you are comfortable identifying game categories and are confident in your ability to understand and apply the strategies and diagraming tools unique to each, than move on. It's not necessary, and may even be counterintuitive, to 100% master sequencing-type games without say, ever learning how to do grouping games. Some games, particularly on the newer LSATs, are hybrid games that require you to use a large variety of skills.

After all, you can always come back to types that you struggle with later on in your studies.

Yeah I would just do each game lesson and if you get a handle by the time you finish the samples then move on. The curriculum is to familiarize yourself. Drilling and PTing is where you will really hone your craft. If you try to be perfect in each area as you go along you will never finish.

Word.

Don't overthink it at this point. Don't let the good become the victim of the perfect. Don't burnout on the practice when the real challenge lies ahead of you.
