Day 1 of My Summer Studying Challenge
Thank you to @myhoneststudyblr for creating this challenge!
✨ 26th July ✨ What is your typical daily routine in the summer?
I’m actually working on adding more routines to my life, so hopefully I’ll have a more organized daily routine by the end of the summer! In general, I fill my summer days with Peloton workouts (both bike and strength), LSAT studying with 7Sage, watching Netflix (New Girl right now), going on hikes while listening to self-development podcasts, and walking my dog!
To Accomplish:
I’ve decided that my daily LSAT posts will be a list of things to accomplish (rather than just to-do). I am currently on the module Introduction to Logic Games: In/Out Games with only 1.5 hours left. The tough thing about 7Sage is that 1.5 hours may actually be much more or much less (depending on whether I want to engage with the comment section, whether I need to watch all of the explanations or only some of them). That is why creating a study schedule has been so difficult for me (that and my fear of failing at the schedule).
Foolproof logic game
Basically, foolproofing is repeating a logic game that you’ve done in the past to make sure that you can make all of the same inferences of the logic game. It’s helpful to reinforce patterns in logic games because there are patterns for every logic game and you want to feel confident that you can make inferences for any type of logic game on the day of the actual LSAT!
I recently found a foolproof method used by a 7Sage user named Pacifico that involves printing out 4 copies of each logic game and repeating the logic game the day after and the week after the initial attempts. Like him, I have started to organized each logic game in a big binder so I have them all together. Visually seeing the binder also reminds me to foolproof a logic game!
In/Out Game with Sub-Categories: Lessons 19, 20
I usually complete the logic game before I watch how JY makes his game board and answers the questions.
In/Out Game Problem Set
Each problem set has 2 logic games and is estimated to take an hour. I have a plan of attack for each problem set that goes as follows:
Print 4 copies of the logic game. On the first copy, take the problem set under timed constraints. Complete Blind Review. On the second copy, draw the game board that JY (7Sage main instructor) goes over in his video explanations. Then, make notes and/or add comments about where I went wrong and what I could have done better (there are places to digitally take notes on each 7Sage lesson).
Recap
I was able to foolproof the logic game, complete Lessons 19 and 20, and complete the problem set. However, I didn’t do Blind Review or watch the explanations yet. I’ll do that first thing tomorrow. I think doing so many logic games in one day is a bit tough so maybe I’ll do some Reading Comprehension tomorrow to supplement.
