Hey everyone! There's lots of big study groups out there but I'm searching for a consistent nightly study partner to finish out the grind to the August test. Currently PTing upper 160s and looking to break 170s. I work full time so study at night only around 7-10 PM EST and weekends. Message me if interested!

Just started to study again for the LSAT, I have not written it before but I intend to write this September/October. If you are interested in creating a group where we can select a few dates to study together besides individually, let me know!

Hi,

My name is Genesis, I live in the LA area and I am looking for anyone who is willing to study together virtually. I have been studying sporadically and need more structure/support. I also find that the gratification in this study process is incredibly low, which affects my motivation.

Hoping to meet during these times, I am a morning person. I don't know for how long, and I don't expect this to be absolutely every single week/everyday I know we all have our own lives going on. I think I just need a space/community to be apart of! I hope to do the same. Make friends and maybe even get into law school together!

Check-in days/talk about how its going plans for the week/day

Monday- Friday: 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM and/or maybe? 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM

study sesh #1

Saturday: 7:00 AM to 10 AM

study sesh #2

Sunday: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

  • all times PST *

    • I am looking to score anything higher than 170 and I am currently barely hitting 160. I plan on applying this September. But I want to keep my test dates open, and go more on how I am performing/feeling/confidence..,etc

    Warmly,

    Gen

    Hi guys,

    I hope this message finds you well. I'm looking for a single study buddy/accountability partner. I work full time, PST, I'm looking for a study buddy in the same time zone, with somewhat of a similar work/study schedule.

    I am scoring in the mid to high 60's. Will be happy with a high 60, but the target is 70+.

    Will be taking the exam in August.

    DM me if you're interested.

    Hi all!

    I hope you're doing well! Disclaimer: this will be a longer post, but I have a TL;DR at the end.

    I'm planning on taking the October 14th, 2022 LSAT (and most likely the November 11th, 2022 LSAT as well). I am also aiming to have submitted my law school applications by September 30th, 2022.

    With that in mind, I am looking to form a virtual study group that would serve the following purposes:

    a) prepping for the test and studying together;

    b) creating a space where we can be held accountable for our study time (since I personally have been having a hard time staying on track);

    c) providing peer support throughout the application process (ideally, but not required to join!); and,

    d) perhaps making a few friends along the way!

    Just a few notes before I get into the details:

    a) This group is open to everyone, regardless of where you are in your LSAT prep journey and/or your score goals. Put simply, it will be a kind, supportive, and inclusive space for anyone that wishes to join.

    b) Everyone has different schedules and so there is no need to commit to studying with the group every day/for the entire duration of the study sessions to be a part of this group.

    c) To keep this a judgement-free and safe space, practice test scores and score goals will be kept private from one another, especially since again, we may all be at different places in our prep journey.

    d) This will be a virtual study group and we will meet via Zoom/Microsoft Teams (depending on our preference). A proposed study plan/schedule is as follows:

    Proposed study plan:

    a) Monday to Friday: Silent study arrangement where we can individually go through our own LSAT prep, with the exception of 5 minutes at the beginning and end to settle in and wind down, as well as a break in the middle. We can also decide as a group if we would like to set aside some time (~15-20 minutes) sometime during the week to go over difficult concepts and questions we are reviewing.

    b) Saturday: Practice test day! Again, we can decide as a group how we could like to set this up (ideally I'd like to stimulate an actual proctored test), and we can also interchange PTs with drilling and/or other exercises and activities.

    c) Sunday: Open discussion and blind review. Sundays will be dedicated to blind review, as well as for the group to discuss and go over any problems, questions, or breakthroughs from the week.

    Proposed study schedule (all times in EST):

    a) Monday to Friday: 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM; 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM.

    b) Saturday: 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM.

    c) Sunday: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

    Again, the proposed study plan/schedule is just that: proposed. This can always be adjusted to better meet the needs of group members and to be more accommodating.

    If you are interested, please comment down below or send me a message and I will send you a call/chat invite. I'd hope to have an informal call before we get straight to studying to meet and get to know one another (date TBD). As a quick reminder, however, please don't post any personal information (i.e., phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles, etc.) in the comments.

    Thank you so much for reading my post and I'm looking forward to hopefully studying with some of you!

    TL;DR - proposing a virtual study group for the October and November LSAT test dates, with a tentative schedule and plan detailed above.

    Hello everyone, I know this might be rare, but does anyone in UK currently prepare for lsat and want to have a study buddy/study group? I am about to take lsat on August and October respectively this year, and it will be cool if someone can study together :) either online or offline (I will be in london this summer and study part time, but we can adjust the schedule later.

    Hello everyone!

    This is my first time posting here and hope someone can give me some study buddy advice.

    I took the LSAT Jan of 2021 and got a 140. This was after a 7 week kaplan course. After that, I didn’t take my studying seriously until November 2021. I purchased 7sage in November and have learned more than I did with Kaplan. I still haven’t taken a full exam because I’m barely at the point in LR where I understand the question stem, and I understand the stimulus. I still struggle with hard questions but at least I know what I’m reading and understand the question stem. However, I still haven’t gotten to LG or RC. Right now I’m consistently getting 15 correct and my goal is 20. Should I move to those sections after I consistently score 20 correct in LR?

    When it comes to a study group or a study buddy what’s the best suggestion? Should I contact someone that also scored around 140 or slightly higher? I don’t know if someone with a higher score would want to help me when they have their own concerns.

    Lastly, I had a terrible burn out so now I only study about 3-4 days a week 2 hours a day. I’ve balanced my life out with my full time job, the gym and seeing my friends. My prior study schedule had me isolated, and stressed out. Yes I’m studying less, and it may take me longer, but I have less stress and enjoying my life again.

    Any suggestions help. Thank you!!!

    Hello there,

    I was wondering if there are any existing study groups in the Houston area for the August/September 2022 LSAT. I am about to finish the core curriculum by April. Because I am still a full-time employee, I am looking forward to joining study groups in person or online or meeting study buddies available on the weekend. My current goal is to hit 165 or above in the LSAT exams of this fall.

    Good afternoon, I am looking for students to have a study gruop, I have been self studying through mostly Princeton Review & Lsat Trainer (Kim) for about a month. Looking to start with a group to help for the next 4-5 months I plan to study 5x a week (20hrs a week). Please message me here or private message. My scedule is open in the afternoons/evenings EST.

    Looking for someone who I can BR with for the June LSAT (BRing with someone has shown to help out for both accountability and discussion of questions), Scoring 163-166 over my last 6 PT's, looking for someone who scores in a similar range and wants to BR and bounce ideas off of for methods/Q strategies/ Etc.

    This is something we all say and then we either create groups, join groups or even try to join a group by responding to post on here, but nothing really comes from it.

    I for one am in need to a study partner, AND this time around I am going to take the reins and start this and pray that it is effective for all of us.

    I don’t care whether you are starting out or an expert. If you are scoring in the 120's-150's or the 160-170s. Your timezone or availability doesn't matter one bit! There are no questions I have or requirements you need to meet to join this group.

    This group is for anyone who would benefit from another LSAT Studier/Taker. We all have an opportunity to learn from and help each other let's do what we do and beat this test together.

    Hello!

    I am just getting started on my LSAT journey and am planning to apply for law school in Fall of 2023. My diagnostic was a 156 and I am aiming for high 160s or low 170s. I'm planning on dedicating a lot of time to LSAT prep this summer and would love to connect with some people who are also looking for study buddies and accountability!

    I took my first LSAT in February and scored high 160s. I am looking for people to study with via zoom to try and break into the 170s. Currently PTing in the low to mid 170s. Usually free in the evenings aside from Monday and Thursday!

    Hi folks! I just took the March LSAT and got a 163, and I'm planning on taking the LSAT again in June (aiming for 170). I definitely felt like my brain wasn't working during the first 10minutes of the test due to anxiety and also realized how weak my foundation is in LR and LG.

    I'm interested in a tutor for maybe biweekly tutoring - specifically in helping me create a focused study schedule leading up to June and targeting my specific weak areas across LR and LG (I think I'm relatively solid on RC). I also work full-time so ideally tutoring would happen on weekday nights or weekend afternoons.

    Please reach out if you're available - thank you!

    Hi there. Looking to start a study group soon with the goal of achieving 160+ score by August.

    I have taken the LSAT multiple times now with a top score of 150. Regrettably, both times I did not study as hard as I needed to. Before my most recent test, I studied slowly for 3 months and was PTing at 156. My goal is mid 160s. I improved in RC a lot, was scoring pretty well in LR, but have struggled with LG. I know that the LG section is the one that, if focused on, can cause major score improvements.

    I do my best work in study groups and am hoping to form a group that is able to meet virtually and consistently 5:30-7:00 PM Pacific Time a few times a week. Hoping to create a structure for our meetings where we practice together, share ideas, strengths, weaknesses, and relate to one another as hopeful law school students. This is a stressful test and so is the process of applying to law school!

    Comment below if interested. Thanks.
