Nah. Rey's way more powerful. Seventh Sister may take a few rounds, but she's nowhere near close to Rey. Also, kek at the Seventh Sister being trained to deal with anyone like Rey. Padawan = Padawan is some shit logic.
Rey may have natural talent, but she's untrained and had a *lot* of trouble with a foe who had a giant wound in his side. Frankly, she's almost certainly at a low level for a padawan at the moment, until she gets training. The one fight she had was a barely-win despite a massive handicap on the other side.
Seventh is more than capable of handling that.

I wanna note that Rey didn't win by 'tapping her full potential,' alone, but by adopting a reverse-grip and using some of the staff-fighting moves she used, which Kylo wasn't familiar with. And style familiarity is going to be a big problem for Rey- she will have no idea how to handle a spin-blade.
Again, Kylo was probably fighting at, like, a third his normal capacity. That is one of the *worst* places to get a wound duel-wise (worse than an arm-wound!), since a ton of your power and movements comes from your midsection. Being able to barely beat someone that badly handicapped doesn't mean she'll do well against, well, anyone with full training.

What is the lowest of the low of Padawans though? Wouldn't this just be a youngling who hasn't even touched a lightsaber or barely?Because even Padawans are combat capable and know how to use The Force properly.
A Padawan is (with rare exception like Anakin), someone who's picked as having had enough training to go out with a Knight to get hands-on training and go into the field to see the Knight in action. Kanan went straight into the war when Depa selected him. Ahsoka... well, we saw her first mission.
Younglings get saber training (remember the kids with Yoda?) before becoming padawan. Heck, Obi-wan first got Qui-gon's attention due to his performance in saber sparing with another padawan.
So a starting padawan has the basics, but not the intensive one-on-one training of a Knight or any experience. They're the equivalent of a soldier out of boot camp. They can use their weaponry and throw a punch, but it's pretty rough.

Oh great another female reverse grip user. Its becoming a trope.
