155

I am looking to start a small group (no more than four people, but you and me is okay, too) to prepare for the September/October/November LSATs via Facetime at least twice a week.

Unfortunately, my July 2019 study partner took a full-time job and isn't planning to study for this fall anymore. So I have to replace her. :-(

My schedule is entirely flexible. We'll study based on Eastern Standard Time -- I am located in New York City --, but you can be anywhere in the States or world.

My Facetime/e-mail is emily.odermatt@me.com. E-mail me before you call, with the PT you want to go over and when we're meeting.

I prefer people who are at least scoring 155. I'm already above 160 and I took July 2019 (on paper).

My strengths: I'm pretty much getting 1 or none wrong on Logic Games.

My weaknesses: I am working on mind-hacking the Logical Reasoning sections.

My background: In Spring 2018, I took an in-person Manhattan Prep LSAT course. Since then, I've been self-studying. I own all the PTs except the June 2019 (pre-ordered it on Amazon, but they keep delaying.....).

Hey 7Sagers, I'm leading BR calls for PT 87 (June 2019 LSAT).

There will be twelve sessions total.

All sessions will be from 9 - 11pm ET. Please see detailed schedule below.

What happens in these sessions?

For RC, we'll read the passage together, paragraph by paragraph. I'll ask you to make low resolution summaries of each paragraph. We'll use those low res summaries to build higher resolution summaries. Then, we'll answer the questions together. For LR, I'll ask you to state which questions were circled for BR. We'll work through the questions the group nominates.

How should I prepare?

Have a clean, unmarked copy of the PT ready in front of you so we can read and answer the questions together. Please wear headphones and try to be in a quiet place.

Hey everyone,

I am looking for a person or group of people in Denver to form a study group where we meet up once a week or so. I think the ideal scenario would be to all do the same PT, blind review it individually, and then meet up and debate/confirm answers. I am averaging a low-170s score on PTs now, so I would ideally like the group to be people that are generally scoring upper 160s and higher, just to keep it more along the lines of a discussion group as opposed to some people primarily just teaching others. I don't mean for that to sound pretentious, I just think it would be most valuable to discuss and debate questions with people that are presently around the same level. Thanks a lot and let me know if you're interested!

Hello all-

I am currently prepping for the October test in South Korea.

I'm hoping to create an online study group that can motivate one another, share tips, ask/answer questions, and to cry together at times lol. If anyone is living in Uiwang City, I'd also be happy to have group study sessions!

If anyone is interested, please reply

I'm seeking someone who I can study with and also who I can maybe help on the LSAT. I've scored from 164-174 on practice tests and I might be able to help someone who doesn't have access to professional tutoring/LSAT classes. I learn by explaining, so I think this would be helpful for me and for the other person. I started at a 158 and I've learned a lot to help me raise my score, I'd love to help someone else raise their score too.

I'd prefer a female study buddy because I'm a girl, but this isn't 100% necessary. I have trouble focusing in groups, so we would study 1-on-1 at a local coffee shop or library or something.

Hey Everyone!

My name is Isabella, and I am currently studying for the September LSAT in Philadelphia, PA. I was posting to see if anyone in the area would be interested in starting an in-person study group for the September LSAT!

Best of luck with your studies!!

Hi all! I am taking the LSAT for the third time around in July and would like to change my approach slightly by working with other lsat-ers instead of alone. Before both of the last two tests I took, my PT's were averaging around 172 which is my target score but unfortunately I've been underperforming on the real day because of nerves. I think I have a pretty strong grasp of the LSAT and would make a good study partner for whoever is looking for one. Willing to meet in person in downtown NYC or virtually. DM me if interested!

I want to start a study group for people who will be studying full time this summer. We'll use the group to discuss, motivate and keep tabs on each other.

Optional Sunday morning sessions ( any suggestions?):

PT 54

PT 56

PT 59

Take the scheduled practice exam under timed conditions before each session.

We will focus on the Logical Reasoning sections only.Next, blind review on your own by breaking down the stimulus, picking the answer choice you feel is correct, and write or type out your reasoning for each correct choice and 4 incorrect answer choices (which will help you remember your train of thought during the study session). Please do not check your answers after your blind review on your own.

Then, input the most difficult questions into the excel spreadsheet before the session. This will let us know what we need to focus on, so we can use our time more efficiently:

    Hello Folks:

    Fresh from our LG Boot Camp on Sunday (Thanks to those who attended) I figure I'll take a different track with my next session. Our last session comprised of a wide swath of PT's across the entire spectrum so I wanted to drill deeper into a specific PT for this session. So on Sunday I will host a session where we can dissect every section in PT 41.

    LR, LG and RC (Yes RC!)

    We already have BR sessions for LR but LG and RC barely get any love. We can talk about LR questions if you wish but think of this as an opportunity to discuss all sections of a PT with fellow 7 sagers.

    What Is this:

    an open discussion about PT 41, going over all sections. Think about an office hours type situation for the LSAT but instead of TA's and professors you have fellow sagers helping you out.

    When:

    10 AM (EST) April 21st

    Where:

    Online!

    https://zoom.us/j/718267436

    Who are you and why are you doing this?

    My name is Michael and I am a Lawschool hopeful from Canada. My aim is to get a score of 170 on my next LSAT. My recent attempts have landed me at 161 and 166 respectively and the LG section has been my downfall each time. I want to get better and I want to help you get better so we can all achieve our goals.

    3

    I'm looking for a study buddy for accountability and BR. Currently, I'm finishing up the CC and plan on moving on to the PT's.

    My diagnostic score was a 156, and my target is 173; the plan is to take take the LSAT sometime in the fall or winter of 2019/2020. I'm pretty much studying full-time, so my study schedule is pretty flexible. I've been studying for a while now and am almost ready to start focusing almost exclusively on PT's.

    I've found that going through the reasoning of a LG or a LR passage and orally making the inferences with another person is quite helpful -- the same might be for you. Just the fact that you aren't stuck in your thoughts is crucial.

    Let me if you are interested, and we can see if we work well together.
