I'd be interested in the 50s! Thanks for this.

Got it

Alex

I vote for the 40s only because the 50+ seem best for full-timed PTs and 1-35, like stated above, are used in the CC and for the problem sets.

Daniel.Sieradzki

I agree with @"Alex Divine". I think the 50's are challenging and make for great timed PTs. I think the 40s would be a nice mix of new material and material that we are not afraid to use up.

FranklyMyDear

I am interested as well

tayyy

I'd also be interested in the 50s!;)

Bevs ScooterMinion

I'm definitely interested! I'd also like to vote for the 50s PT series, please.

Thank you for doing this, Sami!

@"Daniel.Sieradzki" I totally get your reasoning for why PT 50's make for great timed tests. I myself used them that way and that's why in the original poll I did not include them as an option. But I am a believer in giving people choices and maybe we can have one session where we use two of the 50 PT's for this and the rest can be a mix between 30's and 40's. The majority of them being 40's judging by the vote count. : ) I still need to figure out the details.

when will this be happening and where?

Count me in

@Sami. That makes perfect sense. Ultimately, it should be up to a majority vote. It would be fine to use some 50 PTs if that is what people want. I thought I should just point some stuff out based on my experience. I can't wait for this to start! 7Sage is lucky to have you.

I like proportional representation more than majority wins. But that's probably due to my own personal feelings about the voting system lol. So lets see. I can't wait for this to start as well and I am lucky that you get to come to this

Yes, I am also interested ! Thank you!!

interested!!

@Sami idc which PT you use. I think this is great! There are def patterns. I also think there are patterns in RC. It's just so hard to focus on one thing for so long to reveal these patterns. I'm all in!

Niner Papa

Very interested.

It definitely takes a bit of work. That's why I am doing it so you don't have to. : )

My pleasure. and I got your vote as well

sjiang666

Definitely interested!!! How can I join the tutoring? I am new to this.

sjiang666

Oh by the way, since I will take the June lsat, I am wondering if we will do this before the exam? Do we have a approximate date for the tutoring?

nessa.k13.0

I'm definitely interested in this! I've been trying to catalog different argument types I've seen cross stimuli to pick up more on trends in how/why certain arguments are more difficult.

Scott_Kissee

I'm very interested! LR despite all of my studying is still kicking my butt. I'm new to this program but I'm taking the LSAT in June. I would like to get my score up another 10 points but I have to take the June LSAT.

dfletch5

Interested!

nishanik15

Definitely interested! Count me down as a vote for the PT 50s series

a.ruqaiia

Totally interested!

cm214998

@Sami Oh absolutely!! This is great!! I've literally been thinking about this a lot lately, whether or not there were universal strategies that would help identify answer choice or argument patterns. Very interested! Thank you very much!

kvbusbee

I'm interested!

Hi I'd be interested in the 50's but my second choice is 40's. Thanks

Great : ) . counting your guys' votes.

LR is definitely tough and has a lot going on. I think a 10 point jump is more realistic for September. Have you thought about that?

nolchefo

Interested! Count me in the 30s and 39s.

Kermit750

I'm interested!

GrecoRoman

This is a great idea. Sami our hero. Would love this to be in the 50-59 but I guess patterns are patterns so they should show up in the older tests as well, even if they aren't as wordy as the modern versions.

maithilibag

I would also be very interested!

alyssamcc0593

I am definitely very interested!

Hey everyone,

I want to get feedback and see if there is an interest out their in studying LR but with a focus on strategies that increase your understanding beyond just that PT and question.

Instead of the traditional method where we are just just blind reviewing and trying to understand the question in front of us, we will be focusing on identifying patterns behind each argument so we can carry what we learned over to other LR stimulus in future PT's.

A lot of speed in LR comes from our ability to quickly spot these patterns that are constantly repeating. These patterns are not about learning question types - the core curriculum does a phenomenal job of that - but more about argument types.

So yeah, let me know what you guys think and if you are interested. : )

Update:
I am going to let all of you decide what PT series you would like to use to study these patterns.

PT 30-39:
Pros: These are basically drill materials PT's and are considered ideal for burning in order to study. Even the very beginners can join this.
Con: These are older PT's and hence a little less relevant than 40 series. We have also seen a lot of these questions as part of our core curriculum.

PT 40-49
Pros: They are a bit more relevant though I think there is not that much difference as the logic has not changed much from PT 1. I think it's fine to burn these for drills as well since we still have 46 plus fresh PT's left after these.
Cons: Some people still like to use them as fresh PT's.

PT 50-59:
I had a private request for this but since I cannot edit the poll if this series is your preference you can just write this down as a comment below and I would count it in the poll.

I am interested. Start date? Taking the Sept 2017 LSAT. Thank you!
