November'18 Study Group | Blind Review PT 62 | Friday, September 21 | 7:30 PM EST
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/justdance/images/0/09/Lets_get_this_party_started.gif
Hello! We are starting now
Our first decision as a group is when to have our call. There's an admissions seminar this Thursday at 9:00 PM EST: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/17705/admissions-webinar-editing-giveaway-thursday-sep-20-9-p-m-et
Please vote by Tuesday, September 18, 11:59 PM EST for your preference.
If you are done the curriculum or almost done the curriculum, join us when you can. We welcome people in all stages of prep. The point of the group is to get your lsat nerd on with other like-minded people and make the process more fun. Expand your thinking and learning by interacting with others! For my fellow shy-people, everyone is going to be focused on their own answers/questions that I guarantee you they will not be judging you based on mispronounced words, reading-speed, etc. It's all for fun!
Note: Take the PT under timed conditions; BR to the best of your abilities; join us for all or part of the call! For the purposes of the group please don't check the answers beforehand. If you happen to know the answer, keep it to yourself, and win the argument using your reasoning. Also, please don't go "so I know the answer is C but I don't know why B is wrong?" as the purpose is so that we all collaborate on improving our reasoning skills.
Enter the questions you wish to go over on the spreadsheet below! Write your name beside the question(s) you wish to cover, if the question(s) you want to cover are already marked by someone else, add your name! The more discussion, the merrier.
Based off of my experience and deliberation with some other folks, we're going to try something new for this group. Instead of having a call every week, we will instead have a call every other week. The reason being is that I think that the process of taking a PT, BR-ing it thoroughly, and doing drills to address weaknesses that were ascertained from that PT/BR can be really taxing when repeated weekly. I noticed, among myself and regulars on the call, that having the call scheduled every week really exacerbated burnout. Especially since people would try to force themselves to attend as many calls as possible because they felt they'd be missing out and would neglect signs of burnout. I realize that this means there won't be as many calls but this was a decision made after much deliberation. After all, PTs are just a snapshot of your understanding, the bulk of your learning happens in BR and drilling. Of course, people are free to take a PT or two every week if they need to.

@InteriorCrocodileAlligator Hope to see you!
@bartlet4america that really sucks
@"Leah M B" @LCMama2017 The people really rallied behind your cause
Yeah! It was back and forth for awhile! See you Friday!
So Friday at 730 it is?
@Cachi2719 yes Friday at 7:30 PM EST.
@keets993 Definitely late to the game but q: where is the GIF from? The West Wing? I see you Bradley Whitford.
Hi- dumb question: Will this session be recorded so that we can rewatch it? Thank you
Thank you!
@btownsquee ashamed to say that I don't know... this one was not as carefully selected as the others.
@"LSAT Warrior Princess" It's a good question but unfortunately, it will not be recorded.
I think it should be Studio 60 on Sunset Strip.
I think it's from The Cabin in the Woods starring Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford. ( It's a horror movie. Don't Google it if you don't like horror films)
How often do you guys plan on doing this?
@keets993 I was going over the spreadsheet and just wanted to know what is the difference between Strategy questions and Priority questions. I mean I figure Priority questions would be discussed first but not sure about Strategy questions. Thanks.
@keets993 disregard - like an idiot I didn't read the top of the spreadsheet. Duh.
See you there. Can't wait
@akistotle is there anything you don't know?? Asking for a friend.
@lsat_kp20 there's a tentative schedule attached! But generally, once every other week.
@LCMama2017 Nice problem solving skills!
@ColinTurner610 See you there
I'm out of town this week for work but I should be there for the next PT!
My busy day with the kiddos starts on the weekend mornings. Sad! I might join in for Section 4, which gave me more fits than number 2.
@akistotle And yeah...how do you know everything?
Hey I'm just reading this! Would love to join in next meeting in a couple weeks!
@K_Climbs sure I'll add you to the list
For those that are curious, we finished past midnight EST today and that was just a single LR section.
This is an excellent group, great review last night!
I really appreciated how respectful everyone was of our many questions. It was also helpful to give our own input. I don't think I've ever gone to bed so late!! I look forward to the next one!
Thanks Keets! Do you know when we are doing the 2nd section?
When is the review of the 2nd section and what is the link? I wasn’t able to attend the session on Friday, but would appreciate going to this session. Thank you!
@btownsquee @glaezzo message has been sent about the 2nd section.
Can You add me on the message as well?
Also great review from last week!
I wanted to note that upon further review I discovered that Question #19 of Section 2 to is an example of De Morgans Law. Hopefully my logic is sound lol.
Sale TF & /Exotic Birds --> Gerbils --> /Independent
From this we can draw the valid conclusion that:
Sale TF & /Exotic Birds --> /Independent
to take the contrapositive of this, we would just apply the De Morgans law ( the negation of an and statement makes it an or statement)
Thus, we can draw the conclusion that:
Independent --> /Gerbils --> /Sale Tf or Sale Exotic Birds
(D) Not ( Independent --> Sale TF & /Exotic Birds)
apply the negation: Independent --> /Sale TF or Sale Exotic Birds
I was not able to make it to the first section. If I can be added to the message list to attend the second section that would be great. Thanks!
Hey again! Just curious about the next meeting as I didn't receive a message and would like to know what to do in advance for the next meeting.
@K_Climbs there's a session this week for the second LR of PT62 (section 4) which I can add you to - I generally only message the people that showed up for the first section. If you look at the schedule, the next PT we cover is PT70 and the call for that is next thursday (Oct 4).
Hi @Keets993 just to make sure, I will not miss the second LR of PTG2. The next meeting would Friday 27th ? Thank you.
@JenBrooklyn unfortunately the call was last night (Wednesday, Sep 26)
Hi @Keets993, I showed up the LR first section of PT62 but you did not send any message to me about the LR second section of PT 62. I missed it. I just knew you guys had second section of PT 62. Would you let me know or add me into it next time? Thanks.
@Alice003 Hey Alice, sorry I didn't know your 7sage username.
Hi @Keets993 it is ok. Sorry, it was also my fault. I forgot to tell you that I changed my name from alice.shang1 into Alice003. Also last week I did not come here to check the discussions and thought we would have a BR tomorrow night. It was another fault too.
