Hi @Mellow_Z ! Is there any way I could join this study group? I took the LSAT back in Sep 2016 and I'm taking it again this September! I'm almost done with CC and I'll be sure to contribute to the discussion!! I would appreciate it so very much if I could study with you guys!

@"Cecilia ZH" You are more than welcome to join us! We haven't closed this group off just yet.

Yeah as @btsao650 mentioned, feel free to just show up! If you have some time beforehand, visit that typeform link in the OP and submit which questions you'd like to review. If you choose a specific question I like to have you kick off the discussions on that question (where you are confused, which answer choices you got hung up on, what you wanted to discuss, etc.), so that just helps me keep everyone engaged. (it's also an easy way to avoid being shy in a new group atmosphere that might otherwise be somewhat intimidating - not saying this does or doesn't pertain to you, but I've heard others mention they like being called on so they don't have to muster the courage of just interjecting in a conversation).

here's a cool distribution if you didn't see it.

I got Slytherin, which is my states lowest represented house. Also strange how the majority of the midwest is Hufflepuff - there's no other explanation besides Helga Hufflepuff's love for corn farming

Also - As mentioned in the last post, we are going to be reviewing last weeks experimental section on Friday. However, instead of it being at 5p EST we are going to be moving it back until 7p EST. Hopefully that doesn't ruin anyone's plan of attending. We will still be using the same discord link.

Oh cool! Mississippi is super weird. A lone GryffinPuff in a sea of Deep South Slytherins.

This is the link for the experimental review session tomorrow!

Hey, I'd also like to join this group if it's not too late. Scoring mid 160s, about +10 under BR conditions.

If I were to construct Buzzfeed quiz results for sorting people into LSAT Hogwarts Houses:

Benefits of being a Slytherin:
Slytherin's are resourceful, cunning, and ambitious. In other words- nothing stands between a Slytherin and crushing the LSAT. More than likely, Slytherin's are proponents of "studying smarter." Since September is right around the corner, we could all use a little bit of that Slytherin strategic thinking!

Benefits of being a Hufflepuff:
Hufflepuff's are the glowing examples of hard work and patience. These traits make up the heart of an ironclad LSAT prep! Nothing gets you as far as grit my friends, not even talent. Also, Hufflepuff's have a unique penchant for fostering the most supportive study groups.

Benefits of being a Ravenclaw:
Approaching the LSAT with honed wisdom and a plethora of LSAT knowledge to draw from is the ideal situation for anyone on test day (Naming this group Ravenclaw 2.0 would break my heart though).

Benefits of being a Gryffindor:
So so so much of performance on test day comes down to faith in one's abilities. Gryffindor's are the last people to waste time with that self-doubt nonsense when they fully know what they are capable of otherwise. Taking charge of their own destinies (and studies), Gryffindor's will certainly let their true abilities shine through in spite of test-day nerves!

At the end of the day, whatever house we choose represent, let us try to emulate all the best Hogwarts House traits in preparation for the LSAT.

Wicked!
I'd like to find out if there's a correlation between law students and Ravenclaw, seems like more Ravenclaws here, I wonder if it applies universally. Maybe they share certain qualities together.

It would break my heart too if this group was named Ravenclaw 2.0, I fancy The Terminator more.

Hey guys, at a dinner currently so I may be 15-20 mins late!

Mellow_Z

I'm running a few minutes late as well. I'll try to have it up and running by 7:05. Sorry!

Typical Slytherin....

We're gonna meet up this Friday, July 21st @ 7p Est, 4p PST, 1p Daniel Time, 7a China time (Saturday July 22nd, I think ) to finish covering the RC passage and the experimental RC. Same discord link as last week!
