Looking for a serious study person who can commit 1-2x a week during the week, preferably M-Thurs after 6:30pm-8:30pm living in Manhattan (im in FIDI for work), and prepping for the June LSAT. If Queens, during the weekend (mornings preferably). I would like to have someone to bounce critical thinking with for questions and go over exams. I am looking to get in the 160s. I am also going to Manhattan Prep weekly for their free proctored exams so I can build stamina for the exam. Don't be shy!

Hi looking for a study buddy to take PT's and BR together. Planning on taking July '19 exam.

I'm located in LA proper (East Hollywood/Silver Lake). I study at LA City College. Message me if interested.

Curious if anyone in the Portland metro area is currently studying with 7sage. I’m still in CC myself currently but would love to get a study buddy routine going for weekly or biweekly in person meetups to review and drill. I’ve really gotten a lot out of and enjoyed focused study groups in the past.

I’m working towards taking the September LSAT for the fall 2020 cycle.

Hi friends, just tried to search to see if there’s already an nyc study group for the tests after march.. with no luck (but also the search functionality is weird on my phone).

Would anyone be interested? Alternatively if there’s already something like that, can you let me know how to reach out to them?

Thanks!

Hi, @Trusttheprocess and I look for study buddies focusing on CC. We plan to put at least 15 h per week. We both finished CC not long time before, but right now we start over one more for better understanding. I believe it is important to DO IT RIGHT at the beginning. We can study together, share study tips, do drills and so on. If you are interested or in the CC phase, let us know!

7Sage is allowing us to use their webinar capabilities (thank you 7Sage!!), the details of which are posted below! We welcome every person at every stage of preparation!

Here's what you do (please watch the post Core-Curriculum webinar before joining: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/):

First, take the scheduled practice exam (62) under timed conditions before the 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:

I will be taking the LSAT one final time this March in hopes of getting off of a few waitlists and upping my scholarship prospects. I would like to find an LR study buddy to BR over Skype with. I usually miss between 4-6 questions between both sections and would like to work to get that down a bit for a shot at 170s. I am open to working with anyone. Shoot me a message if you might be interested!

Hi. I have decided to start a group on my own. This group will not study together. Instead, we will 'check in' to this post everyday at 4pm EST. Each person can study different materials. For me, I will take one timed section daily at that time.

Who wants to do this with me? I'm going to start doing it tomorrow.

Hey you guys, anyone wants to take LSAT in MARCH ?

Let's study together

Great, so nice to have so many people willing working together. I'm thinking to take 8 PTs together before the test. Since everyone has different study pace, some of you must have finished more PTs; Is 15-23 or 23-31 ok for you guys? When is the time convenient for you guys? Besides, every session will be in the format of online meeting through Skype or whatever. Any idea about good app for online meeting? Plus, if you guys are down to this plan, I will be the first one to hold the online study session, but you also have to take turns to host it :smiley:

In conclusion, let us know which PTs you have not done, when you are available, your suggestions of studying group.

Thank you guys; let's crush Lsat :wink:

UPDATE

Folks, thanks for your comments, since the latest ones are more similar to the real tests, we now decide first to take PT sets from 75 to 83. If you also want to review the other PTs in particular with group, please let us know, we may put it on agenda for Lsat in June.

New PT SETS 75-83

UPDATE2

Folks, thanks Michael, we got our Whats up group, YAY:) and I will post all the infor you need either way https://chat.whatsapp.com/HEr9S37YrIFBZNN6w4pFpZ

Since there are so many of you interested in this study group, we may decide to hold 2 sessions, one hosted by me through Skype, one by Michale

let me know when is convenient for you

UPDATE3

There is a BR session hosted by Michael on Saturday at 3PM(ET) Feb 9th , join us :smiley:

I asked this as a comment in a different thread, but realized it might deviate the convo from the OPs point.

I'm interested in joining/starting a study group in my area (Newport, Jersey City NJ) but have questions.

When people do group study sessions, what's actually done in them? How do you decide what content is covered as a group VS individually, so that everyone gets the most out of it? How will the leader organize the content we go over, and is it expected that we finish the CC entirely before group studying?

Hi Everyone,

I’m currently studying for the June exam and have been working through the reading comprehension section to improve my score. I am currently averaging four wrong on this section. However, logic games is my strength. I have had much success with hard games such as the virus, dinosaur, and stain glass windows.

I’m looking for a study partner who’s strength leans more towards reading comprehension. I can help you with logic games so we can get very good at both sections together. Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks!

Hey there! I'm using the Study Buddy Beta feature but I figure I'd post here as well. I'd love to study with you if you're in the Denver, Colorado area (even meet up in person!). If you're not in Colorado, that's fine too! Let's Skype.

About me: I'm aiming to be in the 170+ club. I'm looking for someone to be a war buddy and help me stay accountable. (An accountabili-buddy if you will). I won't be testing until November, but I'm trying to move fast and study hard.

Get ready! The next BR session for January test-takers will be this evening, Sunday, January 13th at 8:30pm EST (after J.Y.’s session)! We will be reviewing the Logical Reasoning sections from PT83. Don’t forget to see the Google docs below to list which questions you may have had the most trouble with so we can go over it during the call.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I am happy to announce that I will be leading the Blind Review study group for the January 2019 LSAT!

5 weeks until the LSAT!

We’ve got a few weeks before the exam, which is enough time to squeeze in a couple of tests for group sessions. 7Sage has kindly allowed the use of their webinar capabilities so we can get started right away! We welcome every person at every stage of preparation, from the startiest-of-starts to the reasoning experts. Either way, this is to support your ongoing efforts. Feel free to continue preptest-ing and practicing between study sessions.

Here's what you do (please watch the post Core-Curriculum webinar before joining: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/):

First, take the scheduled practice exam under timed conditions before the session. We will focus on the Logical Reasoning sections.

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). Do not check your answers yet!

Then, input the most difficult questions into the excel spreadsheet before the session: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jiEIFiUNbMvRxJQxhrux8HXpj7vWuvyg8hq3eHKQ9I0/edit?usp=sharing

Finally, we will review the test as a group on its scheduled date via GoToMeeting webinar: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/879623125. We’ll go over priority questions first, then review ways to attack the other questions. Bring your test as we will not be sharing screens.

Please, do not check your answers before the study session!

Part of the learning process is being able to solidify your reasoning by discussing with fellow group members. If you happen to know the right answer, please don’t say it - use reasoning to convince us that your answer is the right one! We probably won’t go over every question, but we will focus the ones that we had a lot of trouble with.

Tentative schedule: https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=NmVuNzlqZ25sMHVuOWQyZXEwaDJjc21vazRAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ

  • Sunday January 13th, 2019 (PT 83) 8:30pm ET

  • Monday, January 21st, 2019 (Pep Rally!) 8:30pm ET

    • Blind Review refresher: http://classic.7sage.com/lesson/the-blind-review-is-a-habit/

    If you're interested, please post a comment below (and notify me if you change your username afterwards as the tags will not update on their own). If neither study sessions work for you, message me! We may have enough people to create an alternate group.

    Special thanks goes to @keets993 for doing such a great job on previous study groups!!

    Ninja edit: fixed the 2nd BR date (should’ve been the 13th) and the years.

    Ninja edit 2: Due to a few scheduling hiccups on my end, and J.Y.’s recently announced PT86 review sessions, (which I highly encourage everyone to check out if they haven’t already!), all sessions will be held at 8:30pm ET.

    So we've tossed this around on a couple of different threads, but I wanted to put this up as a new one, just in case it catches anyone's eye who missed the other posts. A few of us in NYC (mostly downtown, also Queens) are looking to start a new study group, and we're going to start by doing BR on the Nov. test. We're meeting Saturday at the Jefferson Library in the West Village - probably 1-5pm. Please comment and/or join us if this is something you want in on...now or just in general over the next couple of months. So far I love JY's methods and explanations, and like so many on here, I only wish I'd found 7sage sooner. But better late than never on a test we're allowed to retake, right?

    Hi all! I am wondering if anyone might be located in DC too and interested in meeting in-person to study for LSAT together? A little about me: currently working full time in DC for an international organization. Georgetown class of 17. Have been studying since July but feel like hitting the plateau...
