Terminology Guide
Core Curriculum (CC)
This refers to the set of lessons on 7Sage created by J.Y. Ping – you might hear this also referred to as “the lessons” or “the syllabus.” These are self-guided lessons, with videos and practice problems from LSATs 16-35.
Blind Review (BR)
What happens when you finish a Practice Test (PT)? You should not immediately look at the answers! Instead, you should go back to the questions that you were a bit unsure about, checking to see if you picked an answer you are still satisfied with. Put differently, BR takes timing out of the equation and just assesses whether or not you understood the question – can you get it right untimed? Your overall score assesses your timing and fundamentals, while BR assesses just your fundamentals.
Foolproofing for LG
This is a method for studying Logic Games (LG) more effectively. This entails doing games repetitively, until you master them. You might begin by doing a game and scoring it. Then, you would watch the video explanations on 7Sage. Afterwards, you’d do the game again (having done it two times total). If you still aren’t getting it perfectly right, do it a third time (or as many times as needed). Keep doing it until you get it perfect. Then, try it again the next day. Afterwards, do it a week later. Only then have you “mastered” it.
Logic Games (LG): This is short for “Logic Games,” or the Analytical Reasoning section of the LSAT. Here, you’ll be given a set-up with a few conditions and will be asked to make inferences or apply new rules. Think of these as puzzles. An example might be “You have 5 clowns, and 5 slots to put them in – A B C D E. A goes in 5, B can only go in slots 3 or 4, etc.” There will be 4 “games,” or sets of conditions, for a total of 22-23 questions.
Logical Reasoning (LR)
This is short for “Logical Reasoning,” which is another LSAT section. In this section, you will be asked to answer a series of short questions. Each question is self-contained and will assess your reasoning abilities in a variety of ways: strengthening or weakening arguments, finding conclusions and premises, creating analogies, etc. There are 25-26 questions.
Low-Res Method for RC
This is a way to take notes for Reading Comprehension (RC), where you jot down a few key words/ideas for each paragraph. The idea is to sketch the skeleton of the passage so that you can refer back to it during the questions.
Reading Comprehension (RC)
This is short for “Reading Comprehension,” which is another LSAT section. Similar to LG, there will be 4 set-ups (or “passages”) with questions that follow them. You will be given passages about science, art, social sciences, and law – you will then need to answer questions about what you’ve read in those passages.
Practice Test (PT)
This refers to the official practice tests that you will take in studying for the exam. You want to take many PTs in order to familiarize yourself with the content of the LSAT prior to taking the real exam.
