Hey y'all,
You asked for it. So now you're getting it. Here's the BR Group Calendar, including June-oriented (but open to all) dates as well as dates leading up to the September test: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=7sage.com_ft05lsm54j4ec1s6kj1d1bbpv0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Chicago
Note: I know there was talk of y'all doing this on Sundays, but Saturdays have been a mainstay of 7sage BR Groups since their inception. There are many reasons why it should be Saturday and not Sunday—not the least of which is the fact that people have work on Mondays and BR Group calls often go late into the night ;) However, there will be Sunday dates until the beginning of June so as to accommodate folks who are taking it in June as well as Sept.
And don't forget that BR Group calls will be GUIDED by a Sage on Saturdays until further notice (at least into May).

Bump.
Just to remind everyone interested in Group BR and make sure the schedule is fully accessible. See y'all at the next one!
Ah snap!! That's awesome! Thx @nicole
He is :D
@tanes25413 I don’t think it was big news so much as just something big about that test. PT 50 was his LSAT, the one he took for reals. So just kind of a special one for him I’d imagine.
@nicole so I remember you saying last night that JY had big news but I don't recall hearing the news. I did leave the call early though. I was looking at the calendar and noticed JY is leading a few of the Sunday calls! Is this new, or did I miss something??! Either way this is awesomesauce!
@stepharizona288
You can expect us to do exactly what the calendar says :)
So, we are starting with preptest 71 this Saturday?
prefect thanks!
Good call @ngir1293288 . Drilling games is an absolute must and it is well worth taking the time to do it.
@jhaldy10325 Thanks. I stopped taking pts a few weeks ago so I could drill the lg bundle, but it would take me about 4 days to br a whole test and drill games. I did gain a better understanding and increased my average by 10 points though. Hopefully now since im better at games, this process will move a bit faster. But just a bit, because you cant rush br.
We don't use Skype anymore—it's all on GTM (and the link is always the same one ... keep an eye out for weekly announcements).
@ngir1293288 So daily scheduling is actually something I have strong opinions on, so I could go on forever, but I'm going to try to limit my answer to the scope of your question!
So first and foremost, everyone has to find what works for them. Based on your work or school schedule, what works for me may not work for you.
So what works for me:
Starting out, BR takes a LONG time. If you're doing it right. It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: Do it right!! So, I am currently reserving an entire day to BR. I'm assured it gets quicker, but for now, I'm reserving a day. That means for a Saturday BR, I want to take my PT on Friday at the latest. That gives me Friday afternoon and as much of my Saturday as I need to slog through it. And if I finish up sooner, great! Time to drill or review the curriculum or whatever.
It's also important to simulate test conditions as closely as possible during a PT. For me, that means waking up at 6 in the morning, getting ready exactly as I would on test day, and starting the PT at around 9:00. When I can, I even simulate the pretesting conditions. You're going to be sitting around for a long time between reporting and starting the test and it is really mind numbing. I will actually force myself to sit at my desk for 30 minutes before I start. So, I acknowledge this is extreme. But I'm a full time LSAT student, so I have the luxury of boring myself out of my mind and descending into ennui before starting my test. If you've got a job or are in school, don't do this, lol.
Anyway, back to more reasonable strategies. My typical day is, I'll PT or BR in the morning depending on where I'm at in the cycle, and then I'll drill in the afternoons.
Hope that helps! The important thing though is to develop the strategy that works for you. I think the only absolutes are these: PT under as closely simulated conditions as possible, and BR effectively. If you can make your schedule accommodate these two things, you've got a good schedule.
Yeah, sorry Coco. We had a lot of different factors to weigh and we really did think about you and other international students. This schedule, though admittedly imperfect, is the best schedule for the most people. For those tricky ones you really need to talk through, there's always the forums and I encourage everyone to be active on here with questions about specific LSAT questions and really anything else LSAT related (and many things not necessarily LSAT related for that matter). We'll still be here for you!
@jhaldy10325 how do you recommend we go about our daily schedule every week? Relatively what days should we actually take the the test, br it and drill weaknesses?
7 PM ET for almost all the sessions, that is 3 AM UAE time. 3-5AM is the most important time period for deep sleep. I think that means I cannot accommodate any of the session.
I wonder why we can't do alternating session like 7PM for this Wednesday, then 8PM for the next, because I know there are some others who may also find 7PM ET difficult to accommodate.
Guess then I officially drop out of the group.
@jhaldy10325
7Sage has invested in GoToMeeting to host our BR calls and Webinars! A link to join the group will be provided for each session. Just keep an eye on the forums for the individual session you want to join. Yes, all times are Eastern:)
Look forward to seeing you on the calls:)
Who do I add on skype? And I assume these are Eastern times?
Love this new year round schedule~
Haha, yes, we are now super legit @msami1010493 !
This.
Nice! Now that both @nicole and @jhaldy10325 have posted about it, in the same thread, it MUST be official!
I also encourage everyone who is moving into the BR process to go back into the curriculum and review the BR lessons. Additionally, check out this great webinar from Sage Jimmy.

Seriously, proper BR is just so important. Even if you're positive you're doing it right, you are doing yourself a real disservice by not reviewing the lessons and watching this webinar. Do it!
@jhaldy10325 correct, you can feel free to jump in on as many as you like whenever you like. Advice I've typically seen is 2-3 PTs a week, but I'm hesitant to recommend 3. I think 2 a week is just about right. Jump into the group as often as you can, I think it's a great way to advance your studying. Think of it as another resource available to you. It's here for whenever you're able to take advantage of it.
