Hello! I have been running a LSAT accountability group for the last couple of months and we are looking for new members. We have a weekly accountability email thread, where we write our study goals for the week, and we meet every Friday at 3 pm PST on Zoom to discuss our goals, the application process, and best practices, and do a few practice questions. Our group has been all women, and we would love to include more POC, LGBTQIA, and non-binary folks as well.

If you are interested, please reply in the thread and fill out this google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Crjcu0fyqqjHSvogSkNM9fLawYunJEtqAkIhYS1xnkI/edit

Hi everyone!

Looking for a logic games study buddy. I typically average anywhere between -3 and -6 on logic games. My goal is to average -0.

I am taking the January LSAT, and am particularly interested in studying mixed logic games.

Note: I have already taken the June 2020 LSAT and have studied on and off for about a year now

Let me know if any of you are interested, I'd love to meet virtually 1-2x week to study! :)

Hi guys,

Looking for some study buddies to BR tests together before our Jan test in a few weeks. I was in an old group but everybody was either done or taking some later tests. Gained significant improvement following their format, so hopefully I'll be able to find a couple of 170+ aiming friends to finish off the last part of the LSAT journey!

Here's what to expect:

  • We take a timed PT on our own ( Please do not check the correct answers)

  • We get together to BR on Zoom

    • General format:

  • We go through each question and say our answer choices. We'll pause to talk about any question that has different answers among group members or someone flagged. The person flagged the question or a volunteer will go through that question live by proving four answer choices wrong (usually we try to avoid just proving why the correct answer is right, except for specific types such as classic flaw). If there's something missing from that person's prephrase/analysis, the rest of the group help him/her/them out.

  • LG: usually just sharing the boards. Or skip depends on how much time we have (JY's videos usually are sufficient)

  • LR: Unless it's an inference or super long stimulus para question, we generally do a Loophole translation (translate the stimulus in your own words/plain English without looking at the stimulus) first. For question types that would be beneficial to have a prephrase, we'd want to say our prephrase before looking at ACs. And then we go prove four ACs wrong.

  • RC: Members taking turns to go through one passage live. After each paragraph, that person pauses and summarizes the MP and Purpose of that paragraph. And after each passage, that person pauses and summarizes the MP, Purpose and Structure of the passage.

    • Time:

  • The BR marathon can last 4-8 hrs depends on how many questions got flagged (and how much we talk about other stuff lol)

  • Generally a 10 mins break every 2 hours

  • I'm working full-time so I can only do the marathon BR on weekends or days off. Requested a week off before the test so we can hop on more often that week.

  • Weekend: Starting 10 am PST on Sunday mornings (I have a hard stop at 3 pm PST), or starting sometime in the afternoon PST during Xmas and New Years.

  • The week before the test: Flexible.

    • I've touched a significant amount of PTs in the past, so here're my tentative plans for the rest of the weeks (and flexible to repeat old tests/sections if the majority of the group want to do a specific PT):

    12/18 weekend: PT 80 Flex (2nd LR) + PT 90 1st LR (group BR on the 19th)

    12/25 weekend: PT 82 Flex (1st LR) + PT 81 2nd LR (group BR on the 26th)

    1/1 weekend: PT 88 Flex (1st LR) + PT 39 RC (group BR on the 2nd)

    1/7: PT 86 full four (group BR time TBD)

    1/9: PT 89 Flex (2nd LR) + PT 56 RC (group BR time TBD)

    1/11: PT 91 full four (group BR time TBD)

    1/13: PT 92 full four (group BR time TBD)

    Feel free to email hkwang789@gmail.com if interested! Thanks and good luck everyone!

    Hi--

    I am looking for a couple of people who are looking to take the Feb 2022 LSAT. I took the flex version last June and scored 155 and looking to break the 170's. I am hoping to work with others one PT a week, or do some isolated sections together. I am in PST and study between the hours of 9 am- 1pm and after 4pm. I am studying about 6 hrs. a day and still work part time but my work hours are remote and flexible. Thank you all and best of luck!

    Hello,

    This is the first time I'm taking the LSAT. I am looking for a LSAT study buddy, study group and people to share resources. I've been using the Trainer and Khan to study but I just can't seem to get a grasp at the strengthen and weaken logical reasoning section. Is there anyone willing to take part of a study group? I recently started my studying journey. If you like to take part you can reach me by email. We can connect through Skype, Zoom, text, calls, facetime etc.

    None of my friends are taking the LSAT and so can't relate, I already wired my tutor the money and he isn't responding to my emails and text messages, my study partner is all business, I've been staring at a blank Microsoft Word document that is supposed to be my personal statement for the last six months, and I've gone through literally a dozen practice tests in the past twelve days missing too many questions, and my score won't budge. Probably the most out of place but genuine post I've made in the past three years. Anybody want to have a casual conversation that ISN'T about why A is wrong and D is right or how much is your hourly rate?

    Or can someone just post a bunch of questions they had from the PT so I can tell myself I'm being productive by writing out solutions?

    Hi there,

    Working full-time and trying to manage the LSAT has not been an easy journey. I'm looking to find one or two other people in the NYC area to do in person study sessions. Ideally, I'm looking for someone who would be down to meet at a coffee shop once a week to study (even if it's just as accountability budies- like we each do our own thing) .

    I am in the Manhattan area and would love to connect with other people in the area who are also on this LSAT journey.

    Happy studying!

    -Miriam

  • During co-working we can work in silence and if we want check in at the beginning and end of each session to go over goals for the session// can also set up review sessions

  • At the beginning and end of each week we update on goals and progress

  • be a great support system!!

    • Here is a groupme: https://groupme.com/join_group/83815277/lZ8Xzxvi

    Hey everyone!

    I recently took the October LSAT after PT’ing almost entirely 170+ over the last two months (with BR scores in the high 170s/180). I feel pretty confident about the Oct. LSAT, but had some technical errors and am currently studying for the November LSAT as a back-up.

    For the next several weeks leading up to the test, I am offering FREE “semi-tutoring” to a few students who are also preparing for the November (and possibly January) LSAT. I am probably going to be most helpful to those who have finished the CC and are taking one or more practice tests a week, and to those who would like someone to go over exams/certain questions with after the Blind Review process. I have completed between 15-20 PT’s (excluding the CC of course), and I’m planning to take 1-2 PT’s per week in the weeks leading up to the Nov. LSAT.

    Quick Disclaimer: I am not in any way a professional/experienced tutor, nor am I claiming to have mastered the LSAT in any capacity. I’m performing well under timed conditions, with near perfect BR scores, and I am hoping that tutoring/reviewing with other students will be beneficial to my own progress - essentially to help close my gap between the low-mid 170s and mid-high 170s. I am also interested in potentially tutoring post Nov. LSAT and honestly would like to see if I am any good at it!

    Feel free to add me as a study buddy in order to view my analytics. To offer a bit more detail, LG is typically -0, while LR and RC are usually a bit more volatile depending on the section (but you can view those on my analytics page as well)!

    If you think you’d benefit from a session or two a week going over PT’s and/or timed sections, please send me a direct message with a quick summary including: your next LSAT registration, your PT averages/section breakdowns, and a quick synopsis of your strengths/weaknesses on sections and PT's overall - AND please add me under 7sage study buddies (so I can also view your stats to see if we’d make a good pairing)!

    Good luck to everyone who just took October LSAT and to those studying for the upcoming test next month!

    Hello Everyone,

    I didn't see any study group discussions for the March 2022 LSAT on the discussion board... so here we are!

    Would love to get the conversation started on creating a group message and a weekly cadence for online meetings!

    Looking forward to hearing from others in the 7sage community :)

    I am thinking of starting a small (in-person) study group starting Nov. 1st

    Time: Twice a week for 5 weeks

    (Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday) can be changed

    Location: A study cafe in Seoul (the cost will be shared equally)

    We will take "timed" practice tests 62-71 under simulated conditions (I find this to be the best practice)

    Blind review will be done individually at home

    Come back with additional questions and we will try to help ourselves by helping each other

    Most importantly, I would like all of us to be a positive influence

    providing good moral support as well as holding each other accountable throughout the treacherous LSAT journey

    If anyone is interested, leave me a comment

    And I will organize the Kakao Group Chat :)

    Hi everyone,

    I am mid20F looking for a study buddy for Jan 2022 LSAT. I've been studying on and off and finally decided to make a serious commitment for the next three months. I can study about 4-5 hrs/day and my goal is to bring my score up from 157 to mid 160s.

    Because I have a job it would be difficult for me to find a regular time to study together + I live in Asia. I've heard of people studying together via SKYPE but that wouldn't work for me :( Rather than that, I'm looking for someone to hold accountable for each other in a slightly toned-down way. For example, sending texts of the day's progress, occasionally talking about LSAT, etc.

    Anyone who's in a similar boat, pls send me a message!
