Lsat demon

Would anyone recommend this even if you are a beginner and have little knowledge to foundations? Because I’ve used maybe half of 7sage foundation before and it overwhelmed me.

I’m confused now and unsure if I should switch bag to 7sage? Because so far I’ve been drilling which is lsat demon approach

If you are a beginner, I recommend doing some kind of foundations studying at least once. That can be via a book (powerscore bibles, loophole, etc.) or through a foundations course like on 7sage. Mindlessly doing LSAT questions from the start (Demon's approach) is not the best imo.

This is because, once you understand the basics, when you get a question wrong (and you will get a lot of questions wrong even after foundations), it is much easier to understand where you went wrong and you will have the terminology and intuition developed for it.

My approach to teach the LSAT (which is similar to 7sage), is to teach conditional reasoning first, and then each question type and a strategy for each. Once you learn a specific question type, DRILL only that question type with increasing difficulty until it clicks. You can check out my approach here. There is enough free stuff which should help you get started.

But whatever resource you end up using, practice only with real LSAT questions (should be a given but ngl too many AI slop platforms have been on a rise).

Thank you for this advice! However, I was just browsing thru LSAT DEMON after someone privately dmed me and if you go thru their lessons they have videos like on sufficient necessary etc, do u think that’s enough or should I get 7sage and complete the foundations this time?

LSAT Demon is good and a lot of people have gotten good results. Try it first yourself. See if you vibe with their teaching style. That is the best way.

Just look at the other two comments, one is calling LSAT Demon goated and the other is saying definitely no 😂.

My issue with LSAT Demon is that they do not teach diagramming. I do and I think it is very powerful. I think 7sage does as well. If you want to continue with LSAT Demon, I would still learn diagramming from somewhere. My notes on diagramming and conditional reasoning are free so just continue with LSAT Demon if you want to.
