THIS STUDY GROUP IS AT CAPACITY Thank you, everyone. I wish you the best of luck in your studies!****

Hello, Everyone!

(Sort of a long post warning.)

Monday, March 14, 2022 to June 11, 2022 is roughly 90 days, and just over 150 days until the August 12, 2022 LSAT.

I am aiming to take the June 11 LSAT and most likely the August 12 LSAT. I am also targeting September 30, 2022 as a personal deadline to get my applications in. To that end, the study group I am proposing would include the prep for the test and potentially peer support for the application process.

I personally have the self-control/discipline of a soggy newspaper when it comes to making myself sit down and study for the LSAT and need to create a space/time where I am held accountable for my study time. Therefore, I’m looking for folks interested in being study and/or accountability buddies to meet virtually over zoom.

I recognize that we are all in different places in our LSAT journey and also have different goals regarding our scores and potential law schools we’d like to attend. Some of us may still have to complete the core curriculum—or complete it again—, others may have finished everything and are using a supplement to 7sage; whatever it is or wherever you’re at is perfectly fine and you are welcome in this group.

This group is open to all with the caveat that it be a judgement free place.

To keep it inclusive and supportive, I propose that our official LSAT score goals and current practice test scores be kept private from each other.

If there are questions that have particularly stumped you or something you’ve finally had a breakthrough on, there will be one day a week to share that on, but for the most part the study plan/schedule I’ve proposed below is a mostly silent zoom meeting arrangement.

Monday through Friday, I will be studying from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST (five or so minutes in the beginning to get settled and then a ten minute break sometime in the middle and five minutes at the end to wrap up) and then another hour in the evening from 7:30 PMish to 8:30 PMish. These meetings will be a silent (except at intro 5 min, break, and end 5 min) zoom meeting where we would work though our own LSAT prep.

Saturdays, I will be focusing on practice tests 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM (10 min break around 3:10 PM). I will be using a virtual proctor/YouTube video for this to simulate testing day.

Sundays will be for blind review and if there are any problems the group wants to try to look at and figure out together and maybe a bit more of an opportunity to socialize/commiserate/brainstorm/share resources, etc. 2:00 PMish to 4:00 PMish

You don’t have to commit to every day or the full time on each day for the study sessions to be a part of this group.

If there are interested parties in this study arrangement, I was thinking that this Sunday, March 13 around 7:00 PM PST we could have a virtual meet and greet on zoom to get to know each other a bit before we get into the study grind on Monday, March 14, 2022.

My goal is to create an inclusive and supportive study group and maybe make a few new friends along the way.

Study Schedule starting March 14, 2022 to June 10, 2022:

Monday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Tuesday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Wednesday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Thursday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Friday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Saturday: 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM

Sunday: 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

If you are interested please comment below or send me a message and I’ll send you a zoom link for the meeting on Sunday, March 13, 2022. If you are reading this post after March 13, 2022 and are interested, comment below or message me.

Per 7Sage's discussion rules please refrain from including your private information (i.e. email addresses and phone numbers, etc) in your comments.

Thank you so much for reading my post. I hope we can be study buddies!

Hey!

I'm looking to make a small discord study group for 5-10 New Yorkers who are already scoring above +165 on practice exams, are shooting for a 175 on the August 2022 LSAT, and plan to study most weekday evenings and at least one day over the weekend.

I'm hoping we can provide each other with social support, accountability, and help with analyzing hard questions. After the test we can all celebrate together.

DM me if you're interested.

Looking to start a study group for the April and June tests. Currently plan on taking both.

Down to create a discord. Feeling fairly confident on LR and somewhat confident on LG but definitely need to focus on RC…

Shoot me a message or comment below if interested!

(Making another one of these because the few I commented on OP never reached out)

Hello! I'm currently studying for the September 9th LSAT with a goal of 171+! I am diagnosed with ADHD, I'm a Math teacher, and I plan on studying roughly 2 hours a day. I would like to study virtually but am not opposed to studying in a nice public environment if you are apart of the study group and are also in Houston, TX. As of 3/4/2022 I completed the Introduction to Logic content and should be starting Assumptions and weakening questions tomorrow. If you're at a sooner or later lesson that's perfectly fine too! I'm sure we can still benefit from being in a group. I just want a study group to crush the LSAT with! I don't care what your diagnosed score is, I believe we all are capable of learning the LSAT and I would love to learn from one another! Plus we also learn a large amount from teaching and reviewing concepts with one another. I've PT'd 159-163 if interested and am committed to making the 170+ dream come true. Also if you're potentially interested in Teach For America I'd love to share my experience with it so far if you're an undergraduate student considering gap years or a career change before crushing the LSAT!

Please do not reply "interested." If you are interested, add me as a study buddy via 7Sage and/or send a direct message. I am looking only for folks who are already scoring between 166-169 and looking to break into 170+. I am capping this group at 5 people, including myself, to ensure efficient BR. I am looking to BR each Sunday from now until the June exam, so you must be available then (exact time is flexible).

asking anyone that has been a part of a study group for study group advice

couple of questions that immediately come to mind:

  • optimal range of study group members?
  • where should the members be in the study progress
  • basically, if you've been a part of a successful study group: what did you guys do?

    and, if you've been a part of an unsuccessful study group: why was in unsuccessful, what would you have done differently?

    tagging @"Scott Milam" because he reached out regarding study groups

    thank you!

    Hello :)

    I target to take June 2022 Exam, hoping to get 170+ this time.

    If anyone studying in Seoul (ideally Gangnam or closeby), hope to catch up and study together!

    I am hoping to take timed PT together, and either do BR together or separately. (Study plan is flexible).

    If anyone's interested, please let me know and I will message back!

    I am looking for a study buddy to work together with over the next several months in preparation for the April 2022 exam. The ideal person would be working full or part time, in EST timezone, testing in the high 160's low 170's, and interested in doing BR and review together.

    A bit about me: I have been studying (on and off) since November 2020 while working full-time in environmental advocacy. My first take was in June 2021 and I got a 169 (at that time I was PTing in the mid 160s). After taking about a 6-month break, I got back into things in January 2022. At this point I am PTing in the low 170's/high 160's. My target score is between 171 and 173. I study in the morning before work and have availability to meet most evenings after work hours.

    DM if you are interested.

    Hello everyone! I just started studying Jan 2022. In the mid 150s now. I haven't heard back from the other discords/study groups so far in the forum so might as well create a new one. I promise to add everyone who responds to this message. Please check your inbox.

    Also, I am down to merge or join with anyone if there is already a solid group running.

    The intention for this group:

    Study strategies

    Accountability

    Memes to stay sane

    Good vibes/no trolls

    Also open to if there are any better services other than discord? Maybe facebook page? What are the kids using these days?

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone would want to join a study group with me to prepare for the June 2022 exam. Specifically, if you're ADHD/ND it would be great if we could keep each other accountable and share tips as to what works for our brains! I'd like to take 1-2 tests a week and review them together, and I'm PTing high 160s right now :) DM me or reply to this thread if you're interested!

    Hey, all!

    I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and initially started studying for the LSAT in June 2021. I lasted through October 2021, hit a wall, and decided to take a break to focus on my health. Since I have a dynamic disability that causes my energy to fluctuate, I struggle with skills that are crucial to a high LSAT score, like consistency and focus. I'm also neurodivergent and have high anxiety (enough said).

    I just picked up studying again this week and have a 5 day streak going (one hour a day). This time around, I'm trying to be kinder to myself and develop a routine that accommodates my health needs. I am determined to reach my biggg goal (175+) despite having a disability, and so far, it's going well because I actually IMPROVED (!) on practice sets after taking my four-month break.

    I would love to put together a group chat where any of us struggling with mental or physical health issues can uplift one another and share suggestions about what kind of studying works best for our brains and bodies. Let me know if this is of interest to anyone! :)

    Hi 7Sage!

    I’m reaching out to see if anyone is interested in forming a study group for the March LSAT.

    I started studying late October and got a 167 on the January test. Blind reviewing at 175. I’m looking to form a small group to help keep each other honest while we study for March. Aiming for 170+ this time around- let’s get to it!

    I'm a tutor who started out scoring in the mid 150s and scored a 173 on the October 2021 LSAT.

    I'm offering a free session on strategies to maximize the 35 minutes you have on LR sections. We will cover things like how to know when to skip and come back to a question later, how to leave time for a round 2 for skipped questions, which skipped questions to prioritize doing first, how to choose between 2 remaining answer choices, and question-type specific advice. We'll also look at how LR questions have changed over time.

    Time: Feb 12, 2022 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
