I'm looking to join up with other non-traditional students going back to law school. I'm 37, with a BA and MS, doing a career pivot into law. I snagged a 164 in Jan, and am looking to score 175+ in October this year.

Ideally, I'm looking for a person, or a couple folks, to do a third blind review at least once a week. This would entail going over the entire test a third time, without scoring, and discussing correct/incorrect answers to locate gaps in knowledge or reasoning.

Optimistic and hardworking folks, please. Thanks.

Topic: PT75 LR/RC sections

Time: Sat 4/3/21 @ 5PM Central Time

Voice call link: https://meet.google.com/ckf-rutp-vkm

I'm planning to take all 4 sections of PT75 under real exam conditions and would love to hop on call with some people from the community who've done the same. Looking for people who are ready to pick apart LSAT's arguments with gusto and trade tips on managing difficult questions under time.

What to expect:

  • Come prepared with our individual BR completed and WITHOUT scoring or reviewing any answers ahead of time! Also fine if you come without have done your own BR.

  • Have questions flagged and ready to review. We can collect all the questions at the start of the section and prioritize.

  • Main focus will be LR/RC sections. I haven't done an LG BR call before, but I'd be open to it depending on people's interest.

    • Comment below or DM if you're interested and let's smash PT75 together

    Hi everyone- looking for people who plan to take the June LSAT who'd be interested in a study group to meet every week/ other week to blind review together. I'm currently in the mid 150s looking to get 168+. I'm in EST, hoping to meet in the evenings. Send me a message if you're interested!

    -Group is now full, thank you!-

    Hello All,

    I'm looking for a general study buddy who intends to take the exam a little later down the road (I'm giving myself ~1 year to study, unless I consistently score a good score beforehand).

    I'm also down to meet up in person, if located in SoCal (safely of course), but zoom calls to teach each other, motivate each other, and support one another is what I am most looking for.

    Please let me know!

    Looking for Study Buddy. I am taking the August LSAT and currently study 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. I am currently averaging 154 but my goal is 165. Let me know if any of you are interested.

    Hey, my name is Joy. I am currently studying full time and would like to create a group (5max) for people like me. I'd like to have weekly meetings as well as co-working sessions (via zoom/ft or google meets). My diagnostic is 156 & my goal is 165+. RC is my worst section, LG is my best.

    Timezone: EST.

    If you have any questions, feel free to comment or inbox me. Thanks!

    Hello!

    I'm looking for 1-3 people who would be interested in reviewing PTs over Zoom/Skype/whatever for the June LSAT. Ideally I'd like to review post-PT75 PTs on Friday mornings ET, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I've taken the LSAT twice already and scored in the low to mid-160s and I'm really hoping to break through 170 on the real thing. My strong suit is games and RC is my Achilles' heel. Hopefully we can help each other out with test taking strategies and managing stress. Please comment or DM if you're interested!

    Hey everyone! I'm making a GroupMe for test takers sitting for the June exam. I think it would be awesome to have others like me looking to be held accountable, be motivated, and have a group where we can go over questions/problems/PTs. We could also share study methods and just have dedicated days where we're all grinding. If anyones interested, I can add a link!

    Hey guys! I am taking the LSAT in June. My diagnostic score was a 137 and my goal score is a 165. I have been studying for about a month but still have a lot of work to do. I am looking for people to study with and keep each other motivated. Here is the link for a GroupMe that I have started. I figured we can help keep each other accountable through this stressful time.

    After not hitting my score goal and realizing I didn't master enough of the test, I've decided to forego this admissions cycle in order to try to get up into the mid 170s. Wondering if anyone is up for weekly chats about general strategy insights, cookie cutter questions, specific problem sets, etc. I want to get into that 'zone' where you start to really see the theory of the test, if that makes sense. I'm best at self-study, which keeps me focused (after all we take the test alone), but would like to get into test 'theory', occasionally drilling things like question type strategy and logic game setup, that kind of thing—macro level stuff. I think that's the key to breaking into the highest percentiles. Anyone interested?

    Thanks.

    I'm a part of a group that meets in the evening on weekdays, and on Sundays. I'd like to get some additional group practice in via Zoom/FaceTime during the daytime (weekdays) and on Saturdays. I'm taking the April test and studying for it is going to be my main priority for this coming month.

    I'm currently scoring in the 168-174 range, before Blind Review.

    Let me know if you're interested and we can discuss schedules. I'm about to take PT 69 now and would love to review it later today or sometime tomorrow.

    April LSAT is right around the corner and I am looking for a study buddy/accountability partner!!

    I took the November LSAT and I am currently on several waitlists for school so I need a quick LSAT score increase. My PT last week was a 164 but I'm looking to get 166+ by April. If anyone is interested in meeting once/twice a week over zoom to talk through sections and keep each other accountable I would be super interested to work together :)

    Update: I didn't get a chance to coordinate times with some of you who commented with interest, but I'm available Sat 2PM Central Time onwards to blind review LR/RC. I'll be on the call then. Hope to see you then!

    TL;DR. Let me know if you're interested in the comments. We can figure out timing and set up something small. I'm planning to take all 4 sections of PT52 this Friday and I'm interested in hopping on a call with others to review. I've done a few BR calls with my study buddy. They've been super helpful in promoting pretty robust discussions. What better way to improve than to convince each other of the right answers?

    What I've done for peer BR in the past that worked:

  • Come prepared with our individual BR completed.

  • Compare every question but only discuss ones that caused us trouble.

  • Split peer BR between Sat/Sun to avoid exhaustion. Open to trying something else.

    • Again, happy to be accommodating on preferred BR format. Just looking for good discussions. My responses might be delayed FYI

    Hi all! I'm located on the east coast and am looking to make a GroupMe to hold each other accountable for staying on track and study help! I'm working part time and am full time student so staying motivated has been a challenge. Let me know if anyone would like to join!

    Hi,

    I am taking a semester off of school to focus on fixing my herniated discs and anxiety. I am planning on taking my first LSAT in June and am extremely driven. I started studying in January and wish to score in the 170s. Currently, I am hovering around the low-160s. IF there is anyone who wants to be a study buddy and get after it let me know!

    Hey 7sagers!

    I’m almost at the end of the Core Curriculum, and I'm planning on moving into the final PT phase of my studying around mid-march. I figure that this would be a really great time to start doing group PT Blind Review discussions. This would be in the form of zoom sessions dedicated to doing some in-depth question analysis on harder questions, and talking through timing strategy. All of course are welcome, however, my goal here is to hone skills, this won’t be a group for discussing fundamentals. I’m hoping these zoom meetings will be as needed/ semi regular. I can’t commit to x times per week, as I’m anticipating some weeks when I hone in on strategy as needed and forgo scheduled Practice Tests. I’m planning on starting with PT36 and working my way up from there.

    Just some background information for people to know where I’m at:

    I’m planning on taking the June or August exam, possibly both. I just registered for the June test today, actually (it was weirdly nerve wracking.) My last PT was back in September when I was just starting out with the CC. I got a 161, BR 173. I am nervous/excited to see where I'll be scoring a few weeks from now when I start PTs!

    Let me know if this is something that sounds interesting/helpful to you, and we’ll go from there. I think it would also be great to have a group to lean on for general questions... like, I already have questions about submitting the writing sample for the Flex.

    Hello, I'm looking for people to hold each other accountable to a regular schedule and to work through PTs/Practice Sets. I'm West Coast and work full time so I will only be available >6pm PST. I'm planning to use Discord which you can add me on as Azimoth#0071 or DM me for a link to the server (I don't want too many people randomly joining who won't be active).

    Here's an outline of the study plan I was thinking:

    Monday: Take a [time] Practice Set whenever you want, then we discuss what we missed later.

    PT70 S1 (LR), 7:00pm review (what I'm doing this week)

    Tuesday: TESTING TUESDAY! Take a [timed] PT with simulated flex whenever you want during this day.

    Full Practice Test, PT87 (Simulate Flex) (what I'm doing this week)

    Wednesday: Go over what we missed on the Practice Test from the day before.

    PT87 review, 7:00pm (what I'm doing this week)

    Thursday: Take a [time] Practice Set whenever you want, then we discuss what we missed later.

    PT70 S2(RC), 7:00pm review. (what I'm doing this week)

    Friday: day off

    Saturday/Sunday: Take a [untimed] Practice Set together and talk through our thought process

    PT70 S3 (LG). Work together, untimed. Time TBD

    The next week will follow a similar schedule, working up in practice set numbers and down in practice test numbers so that by the April LSAT we'll more or less have covered the 20 most recent prep tests. We'll also rotate which section we do together so that we'll have experience doing each section type alone, and with each other.
