Do you complete all of the Core Curriculum questions first?

In the Practice > Drills option, there are options to pull your questions from the Core Curriculum set, the practice tests that 7Sage recommends for drilling, and the set 7Sage recommends for practice tests.

Do people generally complete all of the questions in the Core Curriculum set before moving on to drilling or practice tests? Or does it not really matter? I want to make sure I have a good balance of exposing myself to questions as I digest the Core Curriculum, while also having enough new questions to use in the future for drilling and clean practice tests.

Hey! I definitely understand your concern, especially since everyone emphasizes that LSAT PTs/questions are a scarce resource (and it's true!).

Short answer is that I did not complete all sets for each question type, but I did complete the CC before drilling and PTing.

My longer explanation is that there are A LOT of sets imo, and it takes time to get through them. I completed about half of the sets for each question type in the CC. Example: Strengthen Q Lesson - 10 sets might be listed for Strengthen questions, with the easier ones first (~1-3) and harder ones (~7-10) near the end. If I felt confident in my approach / understanding (and if my scores reflected that) after sets 1-3, I would usually skip ahead to set 6+ to avoid redundancy and challenge myself. After that, I would move on to the next question type and repeat.

How many you do ultimately comes down to your skills and confidence with the questions. Plus, you can always come back to take "left over" ones after CC completion.

I didn't drill until after I completed CC because I wanted a good understanding of the depth and breadth of the exam before targeting weak areas.

Lmk if you have any questions or if I can clarify anything. Good luck on your LSAT journey!
