(When you're past the third hour of the BR call)
If you are done the curriculum or almost done the curriculum, join us when you can. We welcome people in all stages of prep. The point of the group is to get your lsat nerd on with other like-minded people and make the process more fun. Expand your thinking and learning by interacting with others! For my fellow shy-people, everyone is going to be focused on their own answers/questions that I guarantee you they will not be judging you based on mispronounced words, reading-speed, etc. It's all for fun!
Note: Take the PT under timed conditions; BR to the best of your abilities; join us for all or part of the call! For the purposes of the group please don't check the answers beforehand. If you happen to know the answer, keep it to yourself, and win the argument using your reasoning. Also, please don't go "so I know the answer is C but I don't know why B is wrong?" as the purpose is so that we all collaborate on improving our reasoning skills.
Enter the questions you wish to go over on the spreadsheet below! Write your name beside the question(s) you wish to cover, if the question(s) you want to cover are already marked by someone else, add your name! :) The more discussion, the merrier.

@forestdearing2017997 : Sounds great! I just added you to the message thread! We'll be meeting via GTM on Monday evening at 6:30 EST. Looking forward to meeting you!
@paulmvbenthem537 I couldn't make the session the other night, but I'm definitely interested in joining a review session for section 3
@paulmvbenthem537 : Will do!
@paulmvbenthem537 Do you mind adding me to the list for section 3? It would be greatly appreciated.
@54080 : We only worked through Section 2. I suspect, given the fact that few people had added their names to the questions for Section 3 on the spreadsheet, that most people anticipated only doing the one section. I'll be sending out a message thread this afternoon to people who are potentially interested in meeting to do Section 3. I'l be sure to add your name to the list!
@paulmvbenthem537 - I'm checking in to see how far you got last night. @nikitamunjal950 do you have any idea on the continuation? Perhaps Sunday again? You guys may still be recovering from last night's session, so no rush. I am simply eager to do some group BR since I had to miss last night.

gotcha. thank you, @nikitamunjal950
@nabintoud9765 so priority questions are questions you struggled with. Strategy questions are ones where you got an answer choice through process of elimination but you're not sure how/why it works as the right answer choice or its relationship to the stimulus. Most of the time, if a question shows up on strategy and priority, by dealing with the question as a priority question we figure out the strategy for it.
A strategy question could also be one where you got it through POE but you are wondering how to get faster at it. In the past we've discussed things like: if it's a question dealing with Parallel MoR and an answer choice concludes the sufficient condition then you know to eliminate it immediately because that's an invalid argument form; or for necessary assumption questions, revisiting the negation technique and how to properly negate.
can someone explain priority versus strategy qs (in the doc) to me? Thanks in advance!
@anitazamanii324, thanks for catching that! I just changed it!
Hi all, I was looking at the spreadsheet for tonight's BR, and it still states that it is for PT 53. Is there a different link for PT57? or we could just type the question numbers (for PT 57) on the same spreadsheet for the BR tonight?
Wanted to bump this so others can see we have a meeting tonight. I also wanted to point out that Section 3 question 8: the LSAT writers might actually have a sense of humor? lol :smiley:
@hiraextr666 no worries Christine! Happy drilling, see you when you get back :smile:
Hey! So I think I'm going to take a week or two off from the study group to focus on drilling LR and brushing up on RC and LG. Hope you all are doing well!
I just opened the list and now I see it haha. Thanks!
@cvega2013775-1 just join us when you can! Check the schedule for the week you want to join and make sure you've taken the PT timed and BR-ed it to the best of your abilities before you join.
@lesliehughes92805 you're added :smile:
Hi!! Firstly, you are absolutely awesome for setting this up :)! Is there a way that I can join this, as well? I am working on the CC but am powering through it and would love to join ASAP! Have an amazing day!
would like to join this!!!
@forestdearing2017997 sure thing, added! :)
@nikitamunjal950 I'd love to join this group if possible!
@samanthaashley92715 so this thursday is PT 57 and that's followed by PT 63 the following thursday. Since there's limited time, we want people to get a taste of as many different PT's as they can, especially since there are noticeable differences in each group of tens (say the 50s as opposed to 60s).
