Fourth call info:
Take PT 64 and BR on your own before the call.
Submit 2-5 questions you want to review here: https://goo.gl/forms/TAUZcRjEKRrHlpOC3
Note: We will try to limit the calls to under 2 hours. We will review LR questions first and only review RC if we have time.
We will not be reviewing LG.
This step is important: Come prepared to speak through how you approached the question you submitted. If more than one of us had trouble on the same question, we can each have an opportunity to speak through our thought process/which choices we were stuck between. The rest of the group then discusses.
Sign up for Discord and add side braid#1597. It is helpful if you comment on this post if you plan on joining so I can send the link to our server and additional info to your inbox.
My goal for this study group is for everyone to both contribute and benefit from each other's success. I want to help you get to that next level and I'm asking for your help to get me there as well.

Well, another test has come around, and for many of us, that means it's time for all of this hard earned knowledge and ability to get put to use. We've dedicated months if not years of our lives to this test and to the opportunities it can lead to. Just remember that your LSAT score won't be earned on Saturday. It was earned in the curriculum and in the problem sets. It was earned in the dozens of PT's and BR's and study groups. It was earned on that one question you thought you'd never understand but that you refused to let go until you mastered it, and it was earned on endless LG fool-proofing. Saturday is not when all this happens, it's simply when it ends.

I know this has been asked before, but the list of tutors approved by 7sage is almost two years old. Is there an updated list or tutors from that list that are still active and have space for a student?
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.

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 81 (June 2017 LSAT).
I'm holding 12 sessions total. 4 for each of LR 1, LR 2, and RC. Each session will focus on only one section of PT 81.
All sessions will start at 7:30p ET and end at 9:30p.
Multiple sessions are meant to accomodate people's various schedules and to reduce class size per session.
What happens in these sessions?
I'll ask students to state which questions were circled for BR. We'll work through the questions the group nominates. I generally try to ask students questions to elicit the right response. Please wear headphones and try to be in a quiet place.
How should I prepare?
Take PT 81 and have the questions you'd like to BR ready. The first thing I'll ask everyone is which questions they'd like to BR.
Next Session
9/6 Wednesday - Section 1 - RC, Passages 3 and 4
7:30p - 9:30p ET
Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

Hi,
I had a breakthrough in my scores in logic games by employing POE for CBT Qs and looking for MBT/CNBT and moving on once I find MBT/CNBT in MBT/CNBT Qs. In particular, I think the perspective of trying to eliminate CNBT ACs (=wrong ACs) in CBT Qs really made the whole process easier and more efficient. (This is what Mike Kim suggests in the Trainer)
But sometimes when the right answer of a CBT Q is (A) or (B), or when the ACs are designed in a way that makes it harder to see if each AC is CNBT (whether it's because of the AC is really wordy or because CNBT ACs don't immediately jump out like they do in other Qs), eliminating 4 CNBT ACs seems counterintuitive.
So at this point, I am a bit puzzled in terms of my Q type strategy for logic games. While it's incredibly helpful that I actively, consciously look for CNBT ACs to eliminate in CBT Qs, elimination is inefficient in some CBTs. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Hey guys!
I am planning to write the LSAT in September/December, depending on how far I get with my studying this month. I do not have school right now and I only work once a week so I literally have all month to study diligently for the September LSAT. Right now, I am just finishing up the core curriculum, although I tend to follow a slightly different approach in terms of getting the most time effective studying done.
Let me know if any of you are interested in either doing PT's together or are in the same boat as I am in.
I can meet anywhere in the lower mainland. I prefer meeting in Surrey or Vancouver though.
Admin Edit: Please don't post titles in all caps, the admins are sensitive.

Hi! I am looking for a study buddy, ill be in the states from August to October. I am not sure if I will be retaking the LSAT on September or December 2017. I will be moving around from Sacramento, to LA, to NY, but ill be staying more in Sacramento.
We'll be starting with RC on Sunday and then continue LR on Tuesday.
Here's to hoping that with more practice we'll look at the test more like how Tormund looks at Brienne (rather than the other way around).

Hi!
I'm looking for a study partner or two near Little Neck/Great Neck in NY in preparation of the September test. I took the June test so this would be my retake. My strength is LG and weakness is RC--I'm hoping to work with someone who can complement my skills and motivate each other. I'm also happy to help with improving :) Please post in the comments or message if you live near the area and are interested!
I'm debating on whether or not to take a course or go with a private tutor. The only courses left at this point are Kaplan but I've heard some pretty negative things about them? Has anyone taken a Kaplan course or would you all recommend a private tutor? Thanks
Hi, I am looking for a study buddy that would like to talk overall strategy and daily insights working on the core curriculum.
I am not completely new to the lsats, I have done a complete package of Power score and Blueprint (for 3 months) but my first official lsat take was a fiasco. Thanks to some digging on Reddit, I found 7Sage and his holiness, J.Y, and am turning over a new leaf. Instead of focusing on getting to the PT stage asap (which, I have previously done and miserably failed) or just trying to memorize mechanical skills, I am really trying to change the way I think with the materials in CC. So I am taking my time absorbing the lessons, taking notes, and intensively BRing with the drill sets. Recently, I found myself coming up with different methods and ways of thinking that I would love to share with a buddy and would love to have someone that could keep me accountable.
If you could use an insistent and eager study buddy for your CC journey, PM me!
FYI: I am currently finishing up the Intro to Reading Comprehension section, am in the EST zone and is open to meeting online.

Hey Everyone,
It was great seeing all of you who were there yesterday. It was an absolute pleasure. Thank you :).
I hope going over conditional arguments and seeing how they work in different question types was helpful. This weekend, on Sunday, I will be going over the causation argument type.
The session yesterday gave me a couple of insights and I would like to change a few things about the next session. To get the most out of the next session I am assigning homework. It is of course up to you to complete it and I will not check if all of you do the assigned work. But how much you are able to get out of the session will depend on how much you know about causation argument type before hand.
So before joining in I recommend watching the following seven videos that are part of 7sage core curriculum:
https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/causation/
https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/causation-theory/?ss_completed_lesson=1207
https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/correlation/?ss_completed_lesson=1206
https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/correlation-ideas/?ss_completed_lesson=1205
https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/4-possible-explanations/?ss_completed_lesson=1204
https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/chronology/?ss_completed_lesson=1203
https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/causation-strategy/?ss_completed_lesson=1202
Each of these videos are about 5 minutes each - some even less than that so it shouldn't take that long.
For those of you who do not have 7sage core-curriculum please see if you can read up on causation argument as they are used in LSAT before coming into the session. This will give you the background knowledge necessary to see the pattern when we do go over the questions.
But just in case I will be going over the basics quickly at the start of the lesson. It just will not be as in depth as these videos.
I am still debating if I should release the questions I will be using for the upcoming session before the session. If I do, I will post it here before Sunday.
Let me know if there are any questions or thoughts in your comments below. I look forward to seeing all of you again (3(/p)

Hey Everyone,
This weekend on Saturday I will be going over PT 35, Passage 2. It's an art passage.
Like the previous times, we will first do the low and high resolution summaries then the questions under time before going over the answers. For that reason, you do not have to do the passage before coming to the session. But you do need the passage in front of you but we will also have it available on screen.
If this will be your first time please do not worry, I will go over what low and high resolution summaries are before we begin reading the passage, so you will quickly catch up.
Please click the link below to join the meeting at the specified time.
I'll see you all there! : )

Hey guys,
Due to an unforeseen conflict, I won’t be able to host the sessions and have cancelled the call for tomorrow night.
My apologies for last minute notice and wish you all the best as you continue in the curriculum!!
*Because there are too many September study groups in GTM and I don't want to mix them up, this group will now be known as the That's So Ravenclaw SG. I know a lot of us are fans of the Harry Potter series. In our LSAT prep (and our career aspirations in general) it would help to aspire to obtain the qualities of this house, such as cultivating a lifelong love of learning.
Regarding the "That's so Raven" part. Generally, it could also help to take some risks (calculated risks haha) and be bold like:
