Hi guys,

I would love to organize a "proctored PT" in the DC area. We can choose a location, day and time, and take a PT together. Everyone can bring their own PT so we don't have to worry about choosing one that is new for everyone.

I am taking the test at American University of Law. They usually have some open classrooms. We could do it there! Or at a library in DC.

Let me know who is up for this! I am thinking maybe this Tuesday but the day and time is flexible !

By any chance are there any UNT students here who would like to get together on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a quick study session? I would like to be able to articulate my reasoning for the answers I choose. Ive been doing it with myself however I feel it would be better to do it with another person instead of my dog.

Hey All -

Wanted to know if anyone has best practices or strategies for working in study groups or with study buddies?

- Did you collaborate on a firm plan before jumping in?

- study session recommendations?

- wise to have focused section? For ex. A meeting for LR then separate meeting for LG and so on.

- What happens if one begins to make greater gains? Should you cease studying together?

Any best practice strategies would be super helpful and appreciated. Feel free to mention any items that come to mind that I may not have explicitly listed.

LSAT Party time, that is!

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76 and PM your email for Google Hangout.

  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.

  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” Win the argument with your reasoning.

  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Hi 7sagers, I'm looking for 2-3 study buddies to drill RC detail retention. This uses a drill method from LSAT Hacks website: basically we time each other when reading a passage. After reading, one person asks the other about main point of each paragraph and tests randomly selected details in the passage, such as where the details locate and purpose of the detail. Then the role alternates. This should be helpful for people who have done most passages and look for increasing RC speed/retention. This should take about 1-1.5 hour per session.

    Some background info: I'm based in the UK (had a 170 from october Flex and hope to break into 175+ in Jan). If you're interested in serious studying for similar goals and trying out this RC drill, please feel free to pm me. Best of luck to everyone!

    hello, I will be taking the Oct exam and was looking for buddies either virtually or in upstate NY/Ithaca who'd like to work together. I scored a 166 on the June exam and I'm striving for 170-172.

    Let me know if you'd be interested/if you have any pieces of advice. (-:

    Hey - Is anyone in the Kansas City area also preparing for the LSAT? I’m planning to take it next year and thought it would be great to find a study buddy (or a small group) to stay motivated and support each other on this journey.

    I’m flexible so we can meet at a library, coffee shop, or even virtual if that’s easier. If you’re interested, let me know!

    Looking for another human being to sit with me over video and make sure I do not leave my desk for at least two hours . . . Also maybe jump off some ideas. Not so much a study group but more so just trying to get it done, with the goal of taking the exam in the summer---

    I am on the east coast and right now my availability is after 7:30pm M,T,TH,SAT, and any time on Sunday.

    Happy New Year!

    Hi 7sagers!

    I'm based in Manhattan, and I'm interested in starting a study group that meets in person for the upcoming June 2018 LSAT. I'm currently registered to take the February 2018 LSAT, but I may postpone.

    I'm using materials mostly from 7Sage as well as the LSAT Trainer and Manhattan LSAT Prep.

    Please contact me if you are interested, and I'll reply as soon as I can.
