@-1 and @.yutingli, sent emails to both of you :)!

@ and @ sent you both emails with more details :smile: ! Excited to work together!

Hi! I love reading personal statements and providing feedback :)! Message me if you want so we can exchange details.

Hi @, do you mind adding me to this group? Thanks!

Congrats!!

Just messaged you @ with my phone number! Hope more of you guys will join! I'm now 34% done with the Curriculum!

I know this feeling, please keep your head-up. This is hard, I completely understand and seems unbeatable. If you believe in a higher force, please pray. If you don't, then just have faith in your inner-self. You can do this!

Same, please add me to this group!

Congratulations! So deserved!

An hour is perfect, don't show-up as early as I did lol (two hours ahead of time). I was there two hours ahead of time. If you need a bit of extra time to find parking or maybe to grab your light breakfast in the area, okay. But if you know where you're parking and/or where the building is located, 1 hour is sufficient.

Good luck btw! You've got this!

Hi! Same here, please let me know, as well. I am at a point in my studying process that I would also like to work with someone else. It would be great to have a consistent review session. :)

Hi hi! I think this is a great idea! I'm going through the curriculum and am going to be doing prep tests soon, so I would love to see how other people that are succeeding think through things! And how they work through the test :)!

Is there a way I can get added to this group chat too :)?

Same! I live in the Bronx and would love to reach out!

Thank you so much for this!

I'm working full-time and studying, and though it is difficult, it is far from impossible. So long as you have a consistent and realistic study schedule, you will be perfectly fine. Set boundaries for every facet of your life, including the study and social parts of it. Set realistic goals so that you don't burn out, either. Work backwards when it comes to planning for your exam. Figure out how many months, days, and weeks. Plan the curriculum and then read-up on post-curriculum strategies.

And if you choose to work, careful with burnout. It has happened to me before. But in my opinion, working full-time while studying teaches you that you are able to surpass any limits that you thought you might have had. But it all depends on how you work, as it requires a high level of dedication and drive each day....and patience, and flexibility lol.

Hi Rene!

If possible, I would love to join, too! I have a lot to learn and would love to get any advice on LG!

Thanks so much!

Cristian

Also, is there a place for little pieces of feedback like these, by any chance? If anyone could chime in! :) I love this site, so I want to contribute the most that I can.

Hi! Just a bit of feedback that I thought about while studying.

I think it would be a great idea to have a video link on the blind review questions. For example, after we have done the timed portion, then blind review and then go to show questions, having a video link that directs you to the page on the actual question. That way, we don't have to go to: problem set, review results, and then the video explanation. It might just be a bit of a faster way. But I know it's also tedious for you guys to put video links on those questions, too.

I am @! I'm up to Sufficient Assumption and Pseudo-Sufficient Assumption question type.

Hey Sarah! This is completely normal, trust me I was there for quite sometime. I am finally approaching the 160s after a little over a year of studying. With that being said, my biggest piece of advice would be to finish up the curriculum and internalize it as much as possible. Don't rush through anything and make sure you truly understand the fundamentals (especially pertaining to formal logic).

General tips that are helping me (finally haha):

Early in my studying I wish I would have created an abbreviated study sheet, meaning for each LR question type, have a list of what the question stems look like and a quick approach.

Don't go crazy with trying to be perfect and documenting every little detail on your progress. I did that and it was super inefficient (and overwhelming) and I created a lot of busy work. I would recommend that while you work on the curriculum, take some untimed sections (then build up to timed sections). Drill the question types and get to a point of fluency. Keep a question type journal and see what areas are always tripping you up and some quick reminders.

Once you finish the curriculum, ease into taking a test a week (maximum two) and focus on blind reviewing. The review process helps you see what you really need to skip on test day :smile: and where you should be racking up relatively easy points. When you are taking tests, be weary of looking for perfect answer choices. Play the game of elimination, as much as possible when you are under timed conditions.

In the beginning of my study process, I wish I would have foolproofed games so much more! It would have helped me ease into timed logic games sections a bit more easily. It's totally doable if you don't foolproof during the curriculum and do it afterwards but I would say do it while going through the games section of the curriculum.

Send me any questions that you have, I'm still learning but I'm at a point where I am focusing on the process rather than the score. And it helps with nerves (especially when taking PTs) and will help you get over barriers with the right mindset.

Same! I would love to join!

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!
