Hi everyone!

I realized my flashcards are all over the map. I wanted to ask fellow 7sagers: what are you flashcarding?

Thank you!

    Flashcarding :open_mouth: ....?

    I personally never flashcarded for the LSAT, but if I did I would probably use them to drill question stems or some conditional logic drills.

    I occasionally go through my flashcards for conditional logic, but otherwise don't really flashcard anything.

    I do, however, go back to questions I've flagged from the CC/old PTs and attempt them again -- especially those tricky 4/5-star questions I still can't wrap my head around.
    I know some people do something similar by cutting out questions they struggled with and keeping them in a pile that they go through when they have some down time.

    Question stems and indicator words are the main things I flash-carded. I also kept a bunch of note cards handy to detail some of the trickier stuff I found on the LSAT.

    I cut out hard questions in LR with the questions and stem on the front and the AC on the back, with small explanations of why each was right/wrong. I had to use like size 8 font sometimes, but I have a collection of hard LR questions that I can use on the go. To constantly drive home points and issues the harder questions give me.

    Towards the end of my preparation, I would simply take pictures of LR questions I answered incorrectly and browse them whenever the mood struck.

    In the beginning, I flashcarded the valid and invalid argument forms as well as the logical indicators for each group.

    Oh. I like this. I'm stealing it.

    and yeah. Conditional logic, logical indicators, Or/Not Both Rules, Bi-conditional indicators.

    I use quizlet for some.

    If you are just starting out, I would flash card question stems, valid/invalid argument forms, conditional logic indicators, quantifiers, flaw types...

    I found this on a discussion post a while back: https://quizlet.com/LetsHigh5/folders/lsat-info-strategy-stack/sets

    Hope that helps!

    I did flashcards for general flaws and that helped a ton with several different question types. For example, being versed on an analogy flaw would help you not only recognize that an analogy is present in a str question, but it would also tell you that you must str the analogy.

    Same. This worked very well for learning and instilling these very important concepts!
