@ Ann Levine released a book - It may be helpful to read (or at the very least least skim) it if you are at all interested in consulting. She gives a very thorough, yet succinct breakdown of what she thinks is important in the application process.

General · LSAT PT Question

"'LSAC's Director of Communications, Wendy Margolis, explained via email:

The reason the February LSAT is nondisclosed is because it is important for LSAC to have some nondisclosed test forms and questions available in reserve for emergencies and special uses. The nondisclosed February test forms play this role. This has been LSAC practice since 1996...'

Basically, LSAC needs to have unreleased exams on file in case of inclement weather, and perhaps for use in overseas administrations (those outside the Americas) and Sabbath observers' administrations."

Just a heads up to anyone else interested in joining us tomorrow - the group is getting pretty big, so I'm not adding anyone to the group at this point. If you're interested, message me, and if a couple people don't show up tomorrow and we have room, I will add you for next week. If you are interested in a study buddy (as opposed to a study group) I'd be open to doing that as well, just let me know!

Everyone else, see you tomorrow at 11am PST.

@ That's great! Please let me know in advance what you choose in terms of the game for Sunday and possible LR questions. I'd like to take a look at it as well and give a heads up to those who are planning to join us on Sunday. (I just sent you a message, please respond there when you get a chance!)

@ @ Yes! we will be covering the PT from JUNE 07, and possibly a game from another PT (not yet determined, but I will keep you posted.) If you've already done the June '07 PT (which I'm assuming most of us had - if not, just make sure you are at least somewhat familiar with it before Sunday) come ready on Sunday with some questions that gave you trouble.

@ just throwing this out there, but would you feel comfortable leading the group in a game on Sunday? (as in you pick a game from June '07 (or any oddball games that are difficult for you), do it at least once before Sunday, and then go through the steps with the group (we would help you if you needed it at all)) - if you are looking to improve your score, being able to explain it to others may really help solidify your understanding and in turn allow you to shave off the time it takes you to complete a game. No pressure though if you don't feel comfortable!

I am in a similar boat in terms of breakdown by section - I am consistently strongest in LR and have the most room for improvement in RC, so we can definitely spend a lot of time on that on Sunday!

"I hope to find my place on 7sage as someone who started really low and made huge gains, but I'll have to improve a little bit more to be able to do that ;)" --> I have faith in you, and hopefully the study group will help you get there faster!

@ - that's fine! Join us this week for now, and we can decide together how we want to move forward if there's too much discrepancy between our levels.

@ I'm intrigued to hear the southern accent! What's your background on the LSAT btw (in terms of strengths and weaknesses in LR/LG/RC) - do you have a preference for us to focus on a specific section or topic?

@ - I got your request! We're friends now :). I will let you know if anything changes!

@ Awesome! The study session for this first week is less structured since I would like to first get a sense of everyone's strengths and weaknesses. We will likely be doing a mini lesson on LR, followed by a short Q&A, and then spending the remaining time discussing PT JUNE '07 (since everyone has access to that.) After the first week, we will have a more set structure and we will discuss beforehand which PTs will be covered the following week!

How does that sound to you? I'm open to feedback and the schedule is not yet set so we can change it up :).

Message me if you would like to join!

We are planning to meet this Sunday, July 6th from 11am-1pm PST. This will likely become a weekly study group (depending on how the first session goes), and we will refine our schedule according to the group's strengths and weaknesses. The plan is to emphasize group discussion and teaching each other (which JY heavily emphasizes as well - the best way to make sure you really understand something is to be able to explain it to someone else) as we go over PT questions.

I would like to keep the group small and we already have a few people interested. But, comment here or message me if you are interested and we will try it out this week!
