Hi everyone, I’m looking for someone to blind review with for the sept. Exam. I have PTs C2, 84, 85, 87 to do so we would be doing these. Looking for 1-2 people. I can skype and/or if you’re in LA id be happy to meet up.

I’m scoring in low 160s and BR mid to high 160s.

Thanks!

Hey, so there aren't many people in Sac (where I am) and I kind of would like to focus on RC with someone since it's so mentally draining for me. LG is also something I'd like to just go over since it's something I want to improve on. Something like skype or on the phone. 3rd month of studying so I'm fairly familiar with this test, but if you're a beginner I don't really mind too much to be honest.

In case anyone wants to know what I usually average I tend to sort of miss -4 to -7 on RC and LG is weird but I can miss up to 5 on that as well. LR is also something I'm always down for it's just rn my biggest weakness is in RC so yea. Any questions or anything like that or if you're interested hmu!

Hey Everyone,

As promised I am starting the free LR tutoring. The first session will be on July 9th at 3 pm (eastern time).

The goal of these sessions is to go over one cookie cutter argument type each week. A cookie cutter argument is an argument that logically repeats on each test. The LSAT writers use different subject matter or grammar or both to disguise their logical shape in the stimulus and make it difficult for us. Sometimes they even have more than one cookie cutter argument in the stimulus. But the logic works pretty much the same way. Recognizing these patterns and knowing how the answers might shape up according to the question type is what helps gives us speed on LSAT.

The first session will be conducted on conditional logic. This is, in my opinion, one of the easier patterns to grasp. This would allow us to go over what cookie cutter arguments are and how conditional logic patterns appear throughout different question types. This will also give me a good idea of how to improve the next sessions.

After that, I have the next three session also ready to go. I am hoping to do each week a new session. The second one is on causal arguments, followed by Phenomena Hypothesis, and then Partial information ( I made up this name). These are the main ones and in my opinion occur most frequently on test. Depending on how these sessions go, I can work on doing the other patterns as well or we could stop there.

There is no minimum or maximum number of people. I welcome everybody. The questions will be made available on the screens for all to see so you don't have to bring in anything. I will be pulling questions from the older practice tests, PT 30-39. So this will not ruin fresh PT's for anyone as these tests are mainly used for drilling. However, you will get more out of these sessions if you have done the core curriculum. This will help you add on to the information you already know and you do need to know the basics of how conditional arguments work as well as what it means to strengthen/weaken, find the flaw, and see what must be true.

I am actually really excited to see how this shapes up and I hope this will be helpful to all of you. Preparing for these sessions from scratch was actually a lot of work so I am hoping this helps a lot of you out.

To join, please follow the link at the specified date and time. I will see you all there. (3(/p)

I hope you're ready or gearing up to start PTing for the June 2018 LSAT. Join us this Tuesday if you are finished with the CC.

Provisional Schedule: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=f3n8s2l60gkgm2ju8m8kk4vhn4%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FNew_York

Note:

For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able on your own; then 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.” KEEP THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOURSELF. 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 GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

Mark any questions you wish to go over on the spreadsheet below!

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!

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 guys,

I'm looking for study partner(s), preferably someone who is

  • scoring PTs in the 165-175 range,
  • considering the Oct 2019 LSAT, and/or
  • can meet in or near Ilsan (ex. Hongdae~Sinchon area.)
  • I'm thinking maybe we could meet up once a week (starting Aug 31 or the first week of September), take a timed PT together using the 7sage proctor (using PTs in the 80s + PT C and C II), BR individually at home, and go over the PT together online or through Kakaotalk the day after.

    Message me if interested. Thanks(:

    Hey friends

    I need someone to BR with! Or, we can form a group :)

    It can be in the evenings on skype/imessage, or in person (if you are from mtl)

    I am writing this september, and likely again in october or november

    I need a 165~ to get into U of T

    I last scored 152ish when I wrote, and am focusing on mastering my LR theory before I got back to doing PTs. So far, i am doing lots better!

    Pros:

  • I have a vocab page/note page set up because I love words (I am 100% nerd) :)
  • I am v motivated and will keep us on track lol
  • We can look over one another's PS
  • I LOVEE LG but hate RC (Is this a pro? It is now)
  • I am sometimes funny
  • 2

    Hello, I am seeking a study buddy for Saturday and Sunday study time in a nearby Library, and weekday evenings 7pm-10pm Skype. Area inclusive for travel, Addison, Carrollton, Mckinney, Plano Texas and nearby surrounding areas. Thank you, Happy LSATing

    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!

    Hello, I am seeking a study/accountability buddy for the November lsat. I am available Saturday and Sunday to study in a nearby Library, and weekday Afternoons/evening. If anyone is interested feel free to message me! Happy LSATing!!!

    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.....).

    Denver Study Group

    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!
