So, it's looking more and more like the time for our group will probably be 7:30pm EST. It seems to be a good medium that will allow the greatest amount of people to participate. I'm still waiting to see what weeknight(s) will work best. I just have to make sure that the night doesn't interfere with other 7Sage events.
Thank you for all the feedback so far guys.
Although our official study groups will take place on GoToMeeting, I've also made us a Discord Channel for us to start talking about things outside of BR. I know several people have been interested in possibly going over Flaws and Necessary Assumption questions. So, for things like this, I figured it might be best to use Discord, at least for now. That may change in the future, but here's the link if ya'll are interested: https://discord.gg/kpGkYx6
My dog had a grand mal seizure the other night, we rushed her to the dog ER and they told us they are 90% sure she has a brain tumor and there is nothing we can do. We've had her since 2004, shes 13 yrs old. We've had her since we first got married, when I was a PFC in the Marines. I cant imagine my life without her and honestly have no idea how I'm going to be able to stay focused in order to be ready for Feb. This seems like the hardest thing I've ever gone through, much much harder than dealing with loss in Iraq, don't know why, but it is.
Aww Paul, I am so sorry to hear this very sad news. A close pet being ill can be as devastating as a family member, because in many ways they are. Stay strong and know we are here for you brother.
Whether you take in Feb, June, or Sept, you will get through this.
Hi! I'm excited to see this group getting started.
I've taken one PT (#36) post-CC, and am currently working on Foolproofing the games from PTs 1-35 and doing drills for LR and RC. I'm going to mix PTs (maybe one per week, to start with) and this type of drilling beginning this upcoming week. I'm aiming to take the test in Dec or Feb, with June as a backup. @gregoryalexanderdevine723 - do you think I'd still be able to participate in this study group if I take 10-15 PTs by Dec and ~30 PTs by Feb?
I'm based in CA and my schedule is pretty flexible -- I generally study in the 8:30am - 4:30pm PT range. I plan to take PTs on Saturday mornings to simulate the actual exam.
In addition to BR, I might be interested in game-specific drilling and LR question-type drilling.
You will absolutely be able to participate! It's looking more and more like we are going to start taking PTs from 36+ sometime around December. However, like I mentioned above, it seems like a lot of people are interested in reviewing necessary/required assumption questions and Flaws. I was also thinking that if enough people were interested maybe we could start before December and take a couple of the older tests (1-35).
Hi Everyone! I would love to participate in this study group! I have been trying to take this exam for over a year and a half now (eeck) but life was hectic. Im ready to seriously buckle down and tackle this! Do not want to take the exam until I feel ready so here I am.
I should be done with the CC by late November/early December
Any evenings would be fine with me (in NY) East Coast
I like the idea of drilling specific topics along with BR.
Thanks for your input! We will definitely try to find the best way so that these groups are at a time when as many people can make it as possible.
I'm also loving all the ideas of all we can do outside of just simply PT'ing. I'm really looking forward to this being more than just a BR group; but an actual study group where we can all improve in every section!

I feel for you Paul. Take care of your loved ones, even if they have four legs. The test and law school isn't going anywhere, so take all the time you need.

I will start PTing Nov 1, prob average 2 PTs a week with BR and drilling tests 1-54.
Awesome! Just make sure not to feel compelled to do 2 PTs a week. 1 PT a week, or even every other week, is likely more than enough. Remember, improvement comes from your review AFTER the PTs have exposed your weaknesses. So, if you take 2 PTs a week, unless you're scoring in the high 170s, it's likely going to take you a week or two to do everything you can to address those weaknesses.
I won't be done with CC and ready for PTs by December, but I'd love to stay in this loop to see how you all do it. (I'll probably have to push back, again, to September 2018. Or maybe even later, but that's how the cookie crumbles.) (sigh)
I have not started CC yet... but I'm aiming for the June 2018 test. I'd love to be added to the group/tagged in future messages so that I can gauge where everyone is and maybe catch up to the study group!
Welcome to 7Sage! I will add you then you can join us whenever you are done with the CC. :)

I would prefer to start by the first (or second) week of November, because that's when I finish my CC.
Any day post 4PM not including Friday or Saturday works for me, I live in NY and MA; so EST. :)
I'd definitely want to work on drilling specific topics like flaw and Necessary Assumptions. I'm just down for anything, anything that will help me improve my score is worth the time and effort!

Hi group,
I would like to start As soon as possible. Maybe mid october so I can arrange my future schedule to be able to attend every meeting without any work, home related scheduling issues.
I work retail, however my boss is very accommodating when it comes to my application for law school. Sundays seem like a good possibility. I live on the west coast, maybe around 3pm PT.
Definitely seem to be needing work on flaw and Necessary Assumptions. Logic games are always a must review for me as well. Specifically in/out games.
Hey ya'll!
Thank you for you input it is making it a lot easier to come up with some sort of plan going forward. I really like the idea of reviewing question types as a group. The beauty of starting so early is that we will have the luxury of the extra time to do so.
