Looking for someone to meet with ~twice a week online to go over LR sections and discuss tough LR questions.

Ideally, we could do some of the same sections throughout the week and talk through the harder problems.

LR is currently my weakest section, I'm around -8 to -5. But I'm planning to focus mostly on this section and will be shooting for that -0 on game day.

Hi 7sagers!

For this session, we are having a guest speaker! @DINOSAUR is a 7sager with PTs averaging in the 170s. English was her foreign language. We have been study buddies for a few months now, and her strategies and approach has helped me immensely in understanding the LSAT - she's amazing! We are going to discuss her struggles, strategies, and advice to approach this test as a student who grew up speaking a foreign language. Although this webinar is geared more towards ESL students, I think it will be helpful for all students to attend (the LSAT is a foreign language to everyone, let's be real).

We'll be going over a passage from the June 2007 PT to see how she approaches the passage and how she learned to read complex grammar and hard sentences. It will be Friday, November 20th at 7pm EST. Please comment below if you're interested!

Let me know if ya'll have any questions. Hope to see you there!

Chris Nguyen is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Greetings,

I am seeking a serious study partner for the January LSAT. I know there have been several posts about study buddy, however as a high school teacher, I understand that certain peoples learning styles do not correspond with others. So I would like to give a little background about myself, as well as how I study, so I can find a compatible partner. I have been studying for the LSAT for a year and a half now, on and off in the beginning, however rigorously since February. I initially took the LSAT in January and scored a 149 (pathetic, trust me, i know). I decided to purchase 7 Sage afterwards and really commit to this test (best decision I made). I have completed the CC curriculum, take every practice set for LR problems (yes I know there are over 20 problem sets for flaw and I have done them all), read Loophole by Ellen Cassidy, and taken over 30 PT's. I misused a lot of the PT's in the beginning by using the 80's for drilling since my rational was to take the March LSAT, however I severely underestimated this test in the beginning stages of my studies. I work FT as a high school teacher, however I still study approximately 5-6 hours per day (3 hrs in the morning and 3 hours after work, plus Saturday and Sunday). I approach this test in a very methodical way and follow the CC to a T. I ALWAYS am trying to understand the central logic of the stimulus and right/wrong answer choices. For example, I once spent over an hour on a really tough necessary assumption because I did not understand it and I was too stubborn to move on without fully grasping the reasoning behind the answer. The reason I mention this is because I know there are a lot of people out there who have skimmed through the CC or completed some of the problem sets, using mainly their intuition when approaching questions. If that is your style, great, however we will not get the most out of each other, and it's probably best you find someone who thinks/rationalizes the way you do. I would like to meet at least 2 times per week to BR LR and RC. We can choose PT's to take on our own and then come together to BR the answers and bounce ideas/concepts off one another. Also, this is very important, I would like to focus STRICTLY on LR and RC. I have masted LG already and I do not want to waste time on that section. Plus, I have learned that the foolproof method is better than any expensive tutor or study partner.

If you think you we would be a compatible match for the next 2 months, please send me a message and include a little history about your experience with he LSAT.

Score averages-

LR -2/-4

LG -0/-1

RC -6/-10

Thanks,

Z

Hi all! I'm currently part of a larger group for studying, and while it's amazing to see so many people working together, the group has become too big for effective communication. I'm looking to start a small, 10-person group for the January test. I'm thinking of mimicking others and doing weekly practice tests with one day devoted to reviewing problem areas/blind review - so essentially meeting twice a week. I personally work full-time so the group would meet in the evenings. If anyone is interested and able to commit #AccountabilityBuddies, please write your email below and I can send follow up!

Hey guys,

So like most of you, I just did the Nov flex and I have to say.... LG killed me. I usually score really well on LG so that left me feeling confident that I will have to take the Jan lsat to get my goal score.

Is there anyone who wants to make a study group, or knows of any study groups on discord or etc where we can help each other?

THANK YOU in advance :)

Hi!

For reference, I'm currently scoring around 168-171. I've scored 176 once (I've only taken 11 PT's). Please have similar scores!

I'd like to find a serious study partner for the January LSAT. Ideally this would consist of taking 2-3 PT's per week and blind reviewing them separately, then coming together to compare our BR (though, I'm open to suggestions on doing other things). Preferably have enough PT's left so that we're not too restricted in our choices.

This would serve for accountability as well as the fact that I've heard BRing with other has constantly pushed people out of their plateaus.

Finally, my breakdown is roughly LG -0/-1, LR -0/-2 , RC -4/-8. My RC is wildly inconsistent, so preferably a partner with strong RC and weaker LR and/or LG would likely benefit the relationship the most.

Hi Community! I am looking for one or two dedicated, down to earth, and sincere study partners to work with for the January test (first-time). I am interested in working through the PTs/section and really take time to understand missed questions/build foundations and have a thorough review/understanding of the method/process of getting to the right answer before moving on to new PTs. I am currently scoring in mid-160s and would like to get to higher 160s or low 170s by January test date. My goal is to cover at least 2 PTs every week but will slow down if I am missing more questions. I am currently working full time and doing a masters but I can be available during evenings and weekends. Please inbox/respond if you are interested!

Hello! I've recently begun studying and prepping for the LSAT and am taking an Online PowerScore Prep Course. I could really use an accountability partner and someone with whom I can share notes, ideas, and insight, as this journey is still relatively new to me and all kinds of help and tips are welcome.

I'm working and studying from home, but we could probably work something out either via Zoom, a computer chat, or a local library if absolutely necessary, although given our current health crisis I'd prefer not to commute anywhere far or be in close proximity to many people.

I'm also new to 7Sage LSAT...how does this work? Thank you and good luck to the rest! :)

I'm looking for a study buddy for the upcoming January 2021 test. I have taken this test multiple times and I score in the high 160s. I have never done as well as my PTs (usually in the low 170s) and I want to change the ways I study (including studying with other people) for what will hopefully be my LAST test in January. If you are going through the same thing as me and preparing for Jan test, please be my buddy!

MORE DETAILS per request

Hi Everyone!! Thank you so much for your comments. I didn't really think there would be such a high level of interest or people studying for the January test (given how late it is). My weakest section is LR. I would love to work with someone whose strongest section is LR. I can't really help you if you are looking for a buddy that can help you with LR. MY strongest section, on the other hand, is LG! I am really good at LG and I can help you if you are aiming to get -0 or -1. Ideally, I would love to work with someone looking to improve on LG, but scores well consistently in LR. Thanks!

Hello! I work 45-60 hours per week and try to study 2 hours a day every weekday and up to 4 hours a day on weekends. Looking for an accountability partner because I'd like to take the March or April LSAT (best case scenario). Right now my average is about a 164, and I would love someone who scores at my range or slightly above it to be partners with. I'm on Pacific Standard Time.

Wanting to start a study group for those taking the LSAT in or around February. We can use WhatsApp or another form of messaging to help each other out and keep ourselves accountable. Since I have around 3 months to study I want to learn as effectively as possible.

I’m looking to join or create a study group for anyone taking the January test, I’m applying this cycle and have been studying full time due to being unemployed from COVID-19 and looking for other serious people to BR with and learn from

Hello!

I'm looking to add one more study partner to a small group for the January LSAT. Looking for someone who is working toward achieving a 170+ on the January Flex and will be extremely serious about their prep for the next 2.5ish months. If you're interested, dm me with some info about how your prep is going thus far and a time when you'll be free to chat on the phone today.

Nov 17 Update: We still have 1-2 spots open for our group! So far our sessions have been really great so please reach out if you're interested, have similar goals, and are available to BR PTs on Mondays and Tuesdays, 6-9PM ET.

Hello 7sage community! A couple of us are trying to form a small and serious study group for the January 2021 flex exam. Looking for 2-3 more people available 6-9PM ET on Mondays and Tuesdays to so that we can keep each other accountable, stay consistent, and also have fun so that we can conquer this beast together.

My study timeline is to go through PTs 80-89 from now until the January date in chronological order. That is mostly 1 PT per week and we can increase it to 2 PTs per week as it comes closer to the exam. We'll BR together and help teach each other the material and fill in each other's weak spots. My goal score is the 90th percentile (~165); I'm pretty much average across each section (missing roughly -5 to -8 in all 3 sections but I do best in LG). Given that we are also studying through the holidays, I've also scheduled in breaks because I think it's so so important to be able to let the material digest and to recuperate!

We will be communicating on Discord because it's easy and has a voice chat feature for groups where we can talk together. Discord is multi-faceted and we can have various channels for different topics, so I hope this study group can also be a place where we can really foster a community rather than just talking about the test 24/7 like let's send each other pictures of our pets or the food you're eating or whatever Netflix show you're binging haha. (OR memes. Because memes.)

I am definitely not great at taking standardized tests (I never have been lol) and hope that this study group makes people feel less alone in the struggle to conquer LSAT. If you feel like you have similar goals and commitments to what I described please shoot me a message or comment below, thank you!!

Hey everyone,

Anyone out there taking the Feb or April LSAT and looking for a study buddy/ acct. partner? I work full-time. Evenings are usually best for me. Please let me know if interested. I really want to do well & need help.

Hey everyone!!

I'd really love to arrange a small study group with availability on the weekends to potentially do Zoom study sessions in preparation of the Feb 2021 LSAT! I was thinking we could do PTs once a week to start, then we can BR during the Zoom calls and discuss our thought processes. (I'm of course open to other ideas of what to incorporate as well.)

Comment your email address if you're interested and I can combine a group email thread!

Hi All,

I started a study group and have a few participating members but some are taking the Nov test and as such will be moving on. I am currently scoring in the mid 160's consistently and do work full time but I work from home and for the most part it's flexible to some extent. I would like to find a group of like minded people who are taking the January or February test to meet weekly and cover one weekly PT and meet weekly to cover 2 LR sections and maybe one passage from RC. If you're interested please let me know! I can start a groupme chat to facilitate communication, just send me your email and download groupme chat if you don't already have it.

Best,

M

Hi there, I'm thinking of creating a Study Groups for Jan LSAT. I got a 155 on my October LSAT, currently PTing around 157-159, hope to break 160 and maybe even 165 on the Jan LSAT. Looking for people with roughly the same stats and goal to form a Study/accountability group. I'm thinking maybe we could set up a schedule and analysis our PTs and drills together for a couple of times per week via zoom. DM me if you are interested or email me wenxusunch@gmail.com

Hello!

I am currently signed up for the January flex and am looking for around 1-3 study partners that are interested in keeping each other accountable with practice tests/sections and having weekly zoom meetings where we review said practice tests/sections. I've been studying for the LSAT for around 3 months now and have a pretty solid foundation, but I still struggle with LR and RC in particular (missing roughly 6 to 7 questions on average for each section). I'm averaging -1/-3 on LG. I've created a study plan leading up to the January flex, and it pretty much consists of doing 3-4 individual sections and 1 full test per week with an option to increase practice tests per week as we get closer to the January test.

If this interests you, I'd love to chat over zoom or just speak on the phone so we can discuss whether our goals align and decide if we'd be compatible study partners. I know 1-3 people seems like a pretty exclusive number, but exclusivity is in no way my intention for this group...I just personally feel that I work much better in a setting with fewer people. Also, I'm studying FULL TIME for this LSAT and would prefer to work with people who are doing the same. My goal is for this to be a pretty serious study group, so if you feel that you may not be able to keep up with the study plan outline that I've mentioned, this may not be the right group for you. In addition, my goal for the zoom meetings is for the group members to teach each other certain questions or topics that the others are struggling with; I'm personally a strong believer in the idea that teaching others helps cement your own mastery of question types or topics you're particularly good at.

Also, considering that this final push towards the January LSAT will be mentally straining on all of us, I'm looking for people who are willing to make this a more enjoyable experience for the others in the group. This means anything from sharing any good tv/movie recommendations, to giving each other tips on physical and mental health exercises that help make this study process a little more bearable. This can also mean just chatting over zoom about random stuff thats been particularly bothersome or difficult in our day to day lives. I firmly believe that having a small community of people who can relate to you makes whatever you're going through a little bit easier!

I know this may not be for everyone, but if you're looking to take a deep dive into the LSAT for the next 2-ish months and finally conquer this test once and for all, send me a personal message and we can set up a time to meet over zoom/the phone and discuss our goals and ambitions . Thanks for taking the time to read this, wishing all of you luck in your study endeavors!!
