Hi Everyone....

When would you like to begin our study group meetings?

November with some of the older PT's to get "warmed" up and then from December with later PT's.

What day(s) of the week/time(s) work best for you?

Any day of the week except Friday from 7:30 EST. Saving Friday to get some rest as i will be taking PT's on Saturday.

What are some possible things you may be interested in exploring in addition to BR'ing PTs?

LR - Dedicate each week to discussing how to best approach different question types (Flaw seems to be high on most people's wish list)

However we could take it a step further by discussing related question types together. Eg Flaw with Weakening or contrasting SA and NA to clearly see the differerences.

LG - Would be interesting to find out if anyone has a different approach than shown on the video explanations depending on the PT just to get a different yet still correct way of approaching the LG question.

RC - Overall high level feedback on the RC section of the PT being reviewed. Did any question/passage stand out that would be interesting to point out to the group?

Looking forward to getting back on the BR calls!

Please add me to the group. I am looking to take it in Feb/June. Had to take some time out due to work etc I am now ready to get it done with this group!

This is an area that I am always working on improving. Through reading various resources I have come to the following realizations.

All time is not created Equal. There is Prime Time and Regular LSAT Prep Time. Prime Time is when I do my best to spend time with the kids. For me it is:

i) Morning for about an hour from when the Kids get up to when the time they go to school

ii) The Hour Kids get home from school and/or any time dropping them off to scheduled activity. This is when they are “bursting” with stories to share from school!

iii) When I am working it is The Hour I get home from work, this is also when they are “bursting with stories to share from school, although once in a while I might sneak mine in!

iv.) The dinner half hour to one hour where discussions can range from critique of the food, embarrassing childhood moments, to…my discussion of LSAT RC passages!

v) The Hour or so leading to bedtime.

Bonus. In addition for weekends, Prime Time includes the couple of Hours usually for scheduled activities as well as activities that I find out about on the actual weekend! i.e. Sports, Trips, etc.

Regular revolving LSAT Prep Hours are.

Weekdays. Early Morning or Late Night, Lunch Hours and scheduled time in between Prime Hours.

Weekends. (I always aim to schedule Prime Time early, so that I can have the Afternoon/Early Evening for LSAT PT/BR)

All events are also not created equal there are Prime events, which I strive to have a high grade on:

The Prime events are:

Birthdays,

School activities, (I always aim to attend at least 99.9% of the time)

Anniversaries/Milestones, (Formal such as my actual anniversary date! and informal such as last day of school ice cream)

Holidays,

Scheduled Vacation or "Staycation" (I make sure everyone is involved in the planning)

other prime events include:

meals together, (I try to fit in as many as I can)

Morning waking up routines (These include a lot of negotiations and persuasions on why wake up time is not an hour later)

Bedtime routines that include reading, just talking etc.

My approach to this is not perfection, but rather knowing there is a plan and the kids are in this with me...I could even make the argument that having a lot less total time due to studying for the LSAT could actually lead to an increase in the quality of time I spend with them!

Looking forward to it! This will be my first BR call.

@.13.0 please add me to the group, looking forward to getting back to the BR group this 2017!!!
