    Welcome! This week I will be on vacation and unable to lead the call. I've spoken to Daniel and Josh, and they are going to help us out this week since I will be in the middle of some woods without internet or cell service. Thank you both so much!

    New September Study group! First up: PT 60

    This group is for 12 people who are committed to studying and improving their test performance for the September 2017 LSAT. The schedule (which we'll go over on Saturday) is tentative and so you will have a say in the PT schedule and future meeting times. Our aim will be to take at least 10 prep tests from the 60s, 70s, and PT 81. I want the group to be able to tailor the study schedule to meet its specific needs. If you want a say about the date and time that we meet, you need to attend the meetings. Workshops and intensives to eliminate weaknesses will also be made available to the study group. We also have the option to build in a few breaks.

    Requirements:

  • For everyone: Must be finished with the core curriculum, have a solid understanding of question types, be able to identify the premises and conclusions, understand conditional logic, etc; Come to each PT review sessions with at least 2 priority questions to discuss (because it is highly unlikely we are scoring 180 under timed conditions)Must attend the first or second meetingMust not miss consecutive meetings. Things come up and so an absence is understandable, but if you routinely miss meetings consecutively, I'll offer your position to the next person who expressed interest.
  • Comment below if you would like me to tag you for our first meeting on July 1st at 5pm EST. We'll be taking care the schedule first, so even if you can't take PT 60 come get your name on the list and then you can head out.

    The efficiency last week was awesome. I think the google form worked greatly to streamline the process and cut down on wasted time contemplating which questions to cover. The only thing I'd like to see improve is the number of people who are actually contributing on the calls. I just want to remind you all that at some point these will stop being public and the open door policy will cease to exist. If you want to stick around you have to contribute and pull your own weight. There has been 4-7 (regular) individuals talking so far and 15+ on the call. If you vote for a question for review, I want you available to discuss it.

    .....or because you just have major career goals

    Regardless of your reasons, keep your confidence up and believe that the work you put in will pay off.

    I live in N. Oakland but am working in SF from 10-5 Mon-Fri. I am looking for anyone who like to meet up either in SF or Oakland to study together. I have been self studying since Feb and postponed from June to Sept bc my PT scores were not high enough. I think a study group will be very beneficial! Pls let me know if you're interested, I promise I don't bite.

    PRIVATE September Study Group

    Hello all,

    Please review the information below and if interested, leave a comment and message me directly and you will be considered for the group.

    I will be starting a private September study group. This study group will be unique and different from the official 7sage study groups. I’m composing this post in search of 6-8 dedicated LSAT students who are willing to meet on a weekly basis. THIS WILL BE YOUR TEAM FOR THE NEXT 4 MONTHS. I want to establish a close knit team based study group to hold each other accountable, keep each other honest, and provide each other a friendly but competitive push when needed. I will be selecting students from the community to join our group. The smaller than average group size will allow for a more personal and efficient studying atmosphere.

    The study group will be reviewing LR on a weekly basis. We will gauge interest with RC and LG in order to determine if those will be reviewed.

    Requirements:

    Must be able to meet almost every Saturday night from now until September. If you are thinking “what the hell, I hang out with my hubby on Saturday nights” or “Saturdays are my drinking nights.” This is not the study group for you! I understand occasionally there will be obligations such as work, weddings, or something of the like. This is not a problem, and we fully understand. But you must be present when possible. Meetings will be at 7pm EST on Saturdays.

    Must be dedicated to taking the assigned PT for the week, and must be able to work on problem areas during the week to ensure you are ready to take the PT for the following week. The only exception to this rule is if you have not been able to fully understand and address problem areas from the previous test. I believe sticking to an assigned PT schedule without properly working on problem areas is a poor way to approach the LSAT.

    Must have basic LSAT knowledge including but not limited to: question types, identifying conclusions/premises, conditional statements, et cetera.

    Must be finished with the CC.

    Must be motivated and driven.

    Must be in a quiet place to review. Do not be at a busy starbucks or your local cafe.

    Must be able to download the discord app. We will be using this app to keep an open dialogue throughout the week.

    Must have access to a computer and a microphone. Apple iphone headphones will usually do the trick. We will not be using GOTOMEETING like the other 7sage groups. Therefore, there will be no phone line to call in from so you must be able to communicate by other means. If this changes, I will keep you guys posted.

    NOT REQUIRED:

    A certain PT score is not required. Study groups work best if there are members on different levels. We are happy to take the 140 scoring student under our wings.

    You are not required to take the September LSAT. Although, which PTs we take will be determined with September in mind.

    How will you determine who is in the private study group?

    We will be selecting from members who have posted below and messaged me directly. Our goal is to ensure the best possible score come September and to create the best studying dynamic for all of us. I, and one other, will keep these in mind when determining who should have access to the group.

    I will notify those selected by the end of the week. We will hold an orientation this weekend to discuss testing assignments, which communication apps to download, and any other questions or concerns anyone has.

    Hello! Welcome to the official 2017 September Study Group! Navigating and communicating in the old thread was a royal PITA so I have decided to create a new thread that should be easier to communicate on.

    Tonight I am hosting an informal "kick-off" of sorts. I want to get everyone who thinks they will be committed to this group in the call to discuss our goals and desires for how to make this study group as beneficial as possible.

    https://media.giphy.com/media/p2FmUZ8rR5IBi/giphy.gif

    Note: We will not be using Go To Meeting. It is going to be too hard to coordinate around scheduling conflicts tonight, so we're going to try Join.Me instead. It should work almost exactly the same way, except there will be no dial-in #. This means you must have a stable internet connection. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

    Time: 7:30p EDT / 6:30p CST / 4:30p PST

    Link: https://join.me/SeptemberLSAT

    Requirements: All I ask is that you come prepared and willing to talk. This will work best if I get feedback from you guys. This group isn't going to be me leading and making all of the choices; I want it to be a collaboration between all of us. So the more you guys talk, the less I have to, and the better that is for everyone :lol:

    BR Schedule:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NqvbW4p83dpFmihrUOeWf6Dx8ETo25rLE1q1nPzOrpg/edit?usp=sharing

    Above is a link to my tentative BR schedule. I have options of both 5 and 6 section PT's. It's kind of hard to follow so maybe don't look into that area too much since I'll be discussing it in detail tonight to see what you guys think. I just want to give you all time to digest the content so that you have time to formulate ideas and feedback for me.

    Hey 7Sagers, I'm leading BR calls for PT 80 (December 2016 LSAT).

    I'm holding 9 sessions total. 3 for each of LR 1, LR 2, and RC. Each session will focus on only one section of PT 80. All sessions will start at 7p EST and end at 10p. 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 80 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

    This week it's crucial for you to read this post and check the calendar and link to JY's review of PT 80.

    Please do not burn PT 80 if you are not going to take the June test and if you have not been PTing at a level that you want to test at. We will be reviewing advanced material so you need to understand and have a good grasp on the fundamentals if you're going to be reviewing PT 80. Be prepared to be an active participant and to explain your reasoning.

    Hi All,

    I'm planning on taking this test (I work more than full time but travel schedule/work life generally slows in the summer) and looking for people to study with/BR with/generally exchange motivation with in the larger LA area. Online or in person!

    Any takers?

    Hey 7sage community,

    My name is Alex and I am planning on taking the LSAT in June/September 2017. Is anyone looking for a study buddy in the Los Angeles area? I believe it would be great to find a study partner and go over 35 minute timed sections together and help build motivation in conquering the LSAT. I have taken 2 full PT's thus far, my diagnostic score was a 144 in November, my 2nd was 150 last week. I am reading the LSAT Trainer, I have just ordered the Powerscore LGB and Manhattan LR. I reside in Glendale and Whittier.

    If anyone is interested in partnering, please leave a comment!
