Hey 7Sagers, I'm leading BR calls for PT 81 (June 2017 LSAT).
I'm holding 12 sessions total. 4 for each of LR 1, LR 2, and RC. Each session will focus on only one section of PT 81.
All sessions will start at 7:30p ET and end at 9:30p.
Multiple sessions are meant to accomodate people's various schedules and to reduce class size per session.
What happens in these sessions?
I'll ask students to state which questions were circled for BR. We'll work through the questions the group nominates. I generally try to ask students questions to elicit the right response. Please wear headphones and try to be in a quiet place.
How should I prepare?
Take PT 81 and have the questions you'd like to BR ready. The first thing I'll ask everyone is which questions they'd like to BR.
Next Session
9/6 Wednesday - Section 1 - RC, Passages 3 and 4
7:30p - 9:30p ET
Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

Thanks for another great session today everyone! A take away from today: a gold standard in BR is to take the wrong answer choice that you had trouble with and change it to say what it should have said to be the right answer choice.
What a fun session on RC today! Thanks guys.
And Grant, reveal your 7Sage handle!
For those of you on the call today, here's another good example of an age effect vs cohort effect flaw question:

JY the sessions have been amazing, I think going forward I need to completely change my BR method..... You really make us drill down into that question and the ACs.
I think on behalf of everyone in that room, thank you for giving us your time we appreciate it so much
Re: RC, I deff think if I had done passage #4 and then went back to 2/3 I would have scored better. I had about 3-4 mins to do 4 and I got most wrong. Also I think the strategy in the Live commentary is so smart. It is the same as the comparative LR q. Read Pass1, go to Qs and eliminate. I can't wait to do the BR.

Hey, I think the last 3 dates listed are incorrect. Could someone clarify which are the last 3 days of BR sessions? Thank you!
Hahaha I think almost every date on there is wrong. JY must be smoking the good stuff

If you have U+, then PT's 81 is in your syllabus. You can also purchase it as an add-on too.

Hey sorry about the dates - the last three days of the week did not match up with the dates. They're fixed now, I think. Any other date issues?
PT 81 will indeed be on sale / accessible via your syllabus very soon.
Just took 81. @twssmith644 Why did I not skip that passage?? Your'e talking about the second one right. Man, putting it as the first section. I didn't think the other three passages were that terrible but I think I messed up by not skipping it.
Question for all - are we supposed to do BR per usual before joining in? Like not checking the correct answers and writing out all our explanations etc?
Was PT 81 like one of the hardest RC sections you've ever seen? I don't know if I was just having a meltdown but man that threw me, and I'm someone that has RC as their strongest section every time. I barely finished the fourth passage in time. I think throwing in that RC section right at the beginning is a great reminder of how test takers can f*ck with you psychologically and throw your confidence for the test. Good reminder!
@twssmith644 Video explanations for PT 81 will be released one week before the September LSAT.
PT 81 should appear in the Syllabus very soon. Many people have already received PT 81 from Amazon. It seems they released it well before the September 4 projection. After you take it, you might wish that was not the case :wink:. I am sure J.Y's guidance will be a great help. I look forward to it!
Section 2 has 25 questions.
@tuc28290450 No, they're not recorded.
BTW, I challenged LSAC on the treadmill question. If anyone is interested in seeing my question and their response, PM me.

I am only bummed about the non-U+ members who purchased the test and don't get the live commentary. Or maybe I just don't know how to access it... I am only able to get video explanations for the LGs. Regardless, thank you for this super nice gift for the September takers!
There are no video explanations (and the Live Commentary) for LR and RC for PT81 yet. I think J.Y. will post them after these BR sessions.
I actually found it: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/preptest-81-s3-lr-live-commentary/
Oh so there are the Live Commentary videos already in the CC! Haha :) Sorry.
@uhinberg359 yeah for sure, and part of it was just the shock. I felt like I was reading gibberish, and then panicked. If I'd calmed down I would have been fine. Good reminder to not panic! :)

I think you can count on that! This is something that seems pretty regular, at least since I've been around :)
AWESOME.

I'll have what he's having :D
@bergeronmark58 said:
@zachweisenbarger992 There's one commentary video for PT81 though.same to you?
Yeah, that's the only thing under PT81. Perhaps they will post the rest of PT81's stuff before the first review call?
@bergeronmark58 said:
Thanks for this boost and gift for September LSAT taker. I will do it seriously as I can and join the review.
I can't find PT81 on my syllabus though.
I can't find it either. Hmm.. this is weird..
joining tonight, excited!
just double checking that pt 81 exp will still be out 1wk before the sep test?
@bergeronmark58 said:
@kenyamlee811 Same time. 7 pm EST
It's actually 7:30 EDT. I believe every session begins at 7:30 ET. JY updates the info for the next session in his original post after every session so you can see too.
