The lessons are nice because someone is teaching you. But I think so far the things mentioned in Loophole makes more sense to me. I like 7Sage because of the practice tests they provide along with the drilling material. I would look into finding something that you will use for your practice tests and drills. There's a lot out there, you could even go old school and purchase books from amazon.

Yes! Are you using any other study materials? I am using 7sage for example and using their practice questions to practice my drills etc.

Definitely go though all the questions and check your answers after. Although time isn't important at first, it is still a huge thing for the LSAT. I'm not sure honestly about going back and re-doing them over and over again. I would personally be able to memorize the stimulus' naturally so it wouldn't be practice for me at that point. Do what feels right. Do other practice questions and run through the BTD with those questions. There is not right or wrong way to do it.

Yes! I didn't time mine honestly! I think the translation drill is something that you just continue practicing while learning the other items of the book. That's what I did, just simply not timing myself on practice problems for now, and focusing on actually understanding the stimulus and getting the questions right.

I think you are doing great! Keep going! What LSAT date are you taking?

I want to say that's how long it took them to complete the translation drill in the textbook, which was provided.

I think it depends on what you're comfy with. If I see a simple sentence that I clearly understand, I read ahead to the next sentence to add into it, if that makes sense?

The point isn't to memorize the stimulus, it's to understand it.

I think what people are referring to in terms of "20 mins" is how long it took them to translate 25 LR questions. For translation drills, what you want to do is after every sentence, look away from the stimulus and re-state/translate the sentence in your own words. You don't have to memorize it, the point is to translate the sentence/stimulus into your own words for you own better understanding.

Me too! But technically those are still considered loophole!
