Hey guys, I'm in the process of wrapping up my CC within the next month or so and I was wondering if there is going to be BR study group for those of us planning for Nov 2018/Jan 2019 seating??? If so, I would love to join the group! I noticed the June 2018 group started a while back to give plenty of time to get through the PTs without rushing, so I just don't want miss out if this is already in motion!!!

@cvega2013775, on a different thread, a Sager said November is not too late--just be ready to submit your apps upon score receipt. I kind of plan to apply for 2019, but it's hard to say. I have lots going on, myself, so I know exactly what you mean by "never-ending"!
Hi! The "never-ending" comment was meant for the studying and testing. I feel like studying will never end and also deciding when to finally take the test. I have either withdrawn or not registered for the test when taking it was my plan :disappointed:. I hate to add September to the long list of tests that I have not taken.

How can I get in on this action? Thanksies!
Hey everyone! I'm looking forward to joining the November study group. I'm currently working on my weaknesses and drilling sections. I've been studying on and off for a while and am hoping to make steady progress towards my goals for November.
Hey @bailleybd2929 Bailey. I just sent you a message as well. As a side-note, I am 85% through the CC and expect to complete it by the end of July. From there I will take the next 3.5 months to review and practice.
I am looking forward to working with you all.
Just messaged you @bailleybd2929 with my phone number! Hope more of you guys will join! I'm now 34% done with the Curriculum!
I have added three people to the study group via GroupMe, drop me a pm with name and number and I will add you.
@cvega2013775
Yes, I will be applying for Fall 2019.
Question - for those taking the Nov exam will you be applying for Fall 2019? I'm currently debating if I should postpone Sept to Nov. I keep thinking that Nov will be too late to take the test and apply for Fall 2019 - specially with what happened last cycle. So jsut curious to know if ya'll will be applying or waiting til 2020. This is never-ending. Thx dudes.
ATTN: I am creating a GroupMe (app based group chat for those who have never used the app) for us to chat with one another, offer advice, vent, a more importantly have a littler easier way to get in touch with one another. If you would like to be invited to this GroupMe please 1) download the app, 2) DM your name or phone number and I will add you to the group. Hope this clears the air here for getting a group rolling. Still open to suggestions.
I see there's a long discussion about setting up study groups but I'm afraid I don't think anything has happened. Could we move the ball forward? A bit about me: I'm taking it in Sept 2018, my score is 161, aiming for 170+.

I would be open to a call, Skype, Go To Meeting etc. It would be good if each one of us take 2 minutes and sum up who we are and where we are in our study progress. Perhaps we can help each other out. We may find ourselves breaking the group up in to 2 sections, those testing in November and those testing in January. Us November ppl test in four months and one day from today. We will need to not waste any of our precious time.
Whatever we do, getting a consensus of our progress through the CC (or for those lucky ones who have finished, are you reviewing areas where you feel weak?) and get a plan we can all be a part of. What I mean by that is this; those who are 25-50% through CC have to focus on one thing, 50-75% through the CC have another set of concerns, those 75-99% through CC have other immediate concerns. When we ID who is where, we can not only organize into groups, but when we are all done with CC we can really start reviewing the sections in a manner that is helpful to all, even if we are in different places in our learning.
Thoughts?
Not a bad idea, as far as chat I was thinking along the lines of GroupMe or something where we could add ourselves in and chat in real time regarding questions / advice / etc. I'm open to anything.
Hi everyone! Hope it isn't too late to join!! Also, planning on taking the November exam. (I'm currently signed up for the September test, but I'm beginning to think November will make more sense..) Thanks!

I go through the CC by writing literally everything down in the practice examples, as well as highlighting and circling, like in the videos. I think this slows me up but not enough to where I wouldn't be on pace. Does anyone else do this or have any suggestions on ways to improve moving at this sluggish pace?

So have a pretty good group already getting through the CC for the Nov/ Jan test. I know it's a bit premature to start BR. Perhaps we can start in August. But do you guys feel like a CC call would be beneficial. We can discuss where we all are, some of our weak areas, study technique/time management, etc? @vrendonvasquez562 @52240 @cdaddario2318 @mrosa1210177 @svmirto905 @lsachun20354 @bailleybd2929 @figueroa10040 @36829 @jkjohnson1991823 @sadafhasan529746 @svmirto905 @jimmyrivera201123 @yvonne890330264 @nikitamunjal950 @anmul1996949 @marievaldez22151 @ashleighkong22327 @1655 @alyssamccain0593780 @gaflparalegal732 @gaflparalegal732 @vxsinha96118 @chenoabailey93611 @cvega2013775-1
Definitely! Is there a way we can make a separate thread or chat so that everyone interested can just refer to the chat?
Definitely, definitely interested!

I am working full time and trying to put together a new study plan. Just curious how many hours others are putting into studying weekly (in preparation for the November test)?
My first take I probably did 16 - 20 per week, depending on other commitments. It partly depends on your job, I get an hour lunch and I'm only required to work 35 hours/week. I'd encourage more folks to be realistic about studying, just pace yourself and plan time to do what you enjoy. Not seeing friends, family, and generally being reticent didn't actually help me that much when compared against the benefits of a few more hours of studying. Instead, picking a later test date seems more prudent.
I'm also figuring out how much I'll study for a (re)take. I think it'll be significantly less, because the skills are there, I just scored at the lower end of my possible score band due to a rogue game.
@cloverwong59773 I’m interested in a CC call.
Where is everyone at in the CC? I’m only at about 10%. Made great strides late last week then got discouraged SMH.
I'm interested as well !
@jkjohnson1991823, Cool. Glad you saw this thread. Also looking forward to us applying together this fall.
I just decided to postpone to November instead of July. I just have a full-time job and plan to maintain my weekly 15 to 20 hours.
I should've clarified--each user enters their email address once the leader gets a link.
@cloverwong59773, Sure. I see a site that has a free version of GoToMeeting and it looks like we just need email addresses.
@figueroa10040 Yeah I was thinking of GoToMeeting but I am not experienced with the admin side of it. Is that something you could spearhead?
We could maybe use Zoom to connect. Or GoToMeeting.
