September 2016 BR Group

bjphillips5 · March 2016

Hello lovely 7Sagers!

Is there a September 2016 BR group? If there isn't, when might one be getting started?

bjphillips5 · March 2016

Depending on my work plans (that should be determined in a month or so), I'd be interested in leading the September BR group, unless there already is one or is someone far more qualified to lead it! Just throwing it out there.

jennilynn89 · March 2016

I'd love to join in, whenenver this is happening!

Skywalker · March 2016

I'm interested! Count me in please.

MrSamIam · March 2016

I guess that makes 4 of us.

bjphillips5 · March 2016

I contacted the June BR Group leader for info on how he got it started. My current plan is to get it started in May with 2 Prep Tests and BR sessions per week! How does that sound to you four?

Maritzaa · March 2016

I'm in! Should we draft a tentative schedule like the June 2016 group?

bjphillips5 · March 2016

Here's a tentative schedule I made!

Let me know any and all thoughts!

I figured Mondays would be best for a Saturday PT, Sunday self-BR, Monday Group BR. Tuesday PT, Wednesday self-BR, Thursday Group BR. I think that makes sense. I figure we just start at the beginning and throw in the Super Preps, unless any of you have other suggestions.

I did 5:30 PST/8:30 EST to try to find some middle ground between West Coast folk that get off at 5 (myself included) and East Coast folk that need sleep.

Please do let me know any thoughts you have!

ericbarocio · March 2016

I'm in

time_to_go · March 2016

I'm interested as well. Which app are you guys using for BR meeting?

twssmith · March 2016

@bjphillips5 Great job to prepare for the Fall! I hope you all recognize how smart it is to not rush to a test date and giving yourselves enough time to prepare before you start PT'ing and most importantly starting to build your support system in your early prep. Kudos to you all!!

I know that @DumbHollywoodActor is a wealth of knowledge and has taken what @"Nicole Hopkins" and their crew achieved in making the BR calls an integral part of what makes 7Sage even more special.

@"Purple Paris" With the advent of Webinars and demands that exceeded the previous platform on Skype, 7Sage has provided GoToMeeting for the webinars and to host our Blind Review calls. Be thankful you will not be a part of the "can you hear me now" days on Skype:)

bjphillips5 · March 2016

@twssmith Thank you for your reply! I'm excited about getting this started as I'm working on finishing the curriculum these next two months!

Also, thanks to @DumbHollywoodActor for helping me out in getting this started. I agree, he's a great resource and nice too!

Woo! Excited for GoToMeetings instead of silly Skype!

Do not rush it!!!

Not Ralph Nader · March 2016

I'm in!

jennilynn89 · March 2016

This sounds great!! I'm definintely in. Which curriculum is everyone following up until then? I'm about to sign up for the 7Sage Starter pack, and will upgrade as time goes by (do not have the financial capacity to buy Premium or Ultimate right now). Will there be any differences/discrepancies in my curriculum if I do it this way?

The curriculum is the same across all courses, don't worry!

bjphillips5 · March 2016

@twssmith I started in January! Definitely agree not to rush, I tried that and burnt myself out for a bit.

I'm excited by all the interest! Stoked to get these going in a few months!

jennilynn89 · March 2016

Thanks, @"Dillon A. Wright" can't wait to get started again!!!

Omed_OvO · March 2016

I'm definitely in!

learn2225 · March 2016

I'm interested!!

bjphillips5 · March 2016

Here's an alternate plan for the order of PTs! Let me know your thoughts please

My thoughts for this schedule are based on others' recommendations to mix up the PTs.

Skywalker · March 2016

I vote for the alternative strategy.

Cant Get Right · March 2016

Yeah, I like the alternative schedule. I’ve taken some PTs already, and that will mix up my retakes a lot better.

lenelson2 · March 2016

Thank you @bjphillips5 for taking the lead on this!

radsay · March 2016

I'm in too guys! I like the alternative schedule.

jessicalj · March 2016

I'm in too; also like the look of the alternative schedule. Might have to join you from mid/late August on due to late end times at work on the West Coast.

johanna586 · March 2016

I'm also interested in participating!

Mookittyy · March 2016

Hi all! Just voicing my interest to join as well! Count me in!

kylereinhard · March 2016

I'm in as well!

LostInLawLawLand · March 2016

I'm in!

Thanks for organizing this @bjphillips5. The other group appear to start at 5 PST. Is there any way to keep this same start time? Thanks

Will Giron · March 2016

I am interested as well! Thank you for coordinating and for the proposed schedules. Either works for me.

bjphillips5 · March 2016

@LostInLawLawLand Thank you for joining us!

When we get closer to the start date, I was thinking of posting a poll and whichever gets more votes (5p or 5:30p), we'll do. A bit of democracy. How does that sound?

twssmith · March 2016

Absolutely love the PT schedule mixing it up & not sequential!
Keep up the hard work on understanding the fundamentals - you are building a strong BR group for Sept that will benefit you all:)

Mookittyy · March 2016

Pleaassee don't make this one 5 PST start! I work until 5:30, which would mean I would miss at least half the session by the time I get home!

Skywalker · March 2016

I vote for as late in the afternoon as possible.

Nicole Hopkins · March 2016

Sounds good, guys

@DumbHollywoodActor and/or I can help with administration once you get closer to start. Another note--consider starting in April and building in some breaks (July 4th, Memorial Day, etc)

lois.s.ahn · March 2016

I am also interested! Thanks for organizing

jimenezja.jj · March 2016

I love this. I registered for June but have yet to start Prep test's due to work and school. I'm looking forward to start prep tests and blind review

. I've extended my curriculum so many times ughh.. -_-

Mookittyy · March 2016

Another thought: would it be a good idea to have one of the BR days on a weekday, like Sunday late morning or something? That way there would be less conflict with work or other commitments on the weekdays.

Cant Get Right · March 2016

@jimenezja.jj why not push back until September with us? It'd be a shame to come so far and then not get all your PT/BRs in. You'll miss out on a lot of experience if you go with June.

bjphillips5 · March 2016

@Mookittyy Great thought. Closer to, I'll post a poll to see if folk prefer one weekend/one weekday or two weekdays and we'll go with the majority

lenelson2 · March 2016

@jimenezja.jj
I feel like we all have extended our curriculum at least 3 times....lol

jimenezja.jj · March 2016

@Can’t Get Right Your so right!! *Logs on to LSAC and changes test date** @Lolo2222 I thought I was the only one. I hope this is my last extension.

MrSamIam · March 2016

2 BRs a week sounds like a happy medium! Let me know if you ever need help setting it up.

Jonathan W. · March 2016

I am interested as well! Just jumping on @"Nicole Hopkins" suggestion, I think it'd be wise to start to April to account for holidays, etc.

Cant Get Right · March 2016

@"Nicole Hopkins" said:

So obviously we’re going to take these guys up on this right? The more mentors and sages and tutors involved the better. Administer away guys.

180pronto · March 2016

Hey all!

I'm excited to join this BR group and get back on the grind for a 180.

Any idea as to when we will have a schedule set in stone? Also..

How exactly does the BR group work, does everyone do the test untimed after a timed test and then get on the call? Some insight on this would be great!

Cant Get Right · March 2016

Hey @180pronto, welcome aboard. A BR is kind of like an untimed test, but there are a lot of really important distinctions. Go review the BR lessons in the curriculum, JY explains it far better than I could.

jessicalj · March 2016

Adding on to @180pronto's point, are we expected to BR the test ourselves beforehand? What is the main purpose of the group?

Jeong P. · March 2016

Hello; just starting the Core Curriculum tomorrow! Is it possible to join little late, perhaps around June?

Also, what's the best way of securing PrepTest 38~51 (Given LSAC hasn't sold preptests for those

)

Cant Get Right · March 2016

@"Jeong P."

Here’s a couple threads on PTs. 38-51 are out there, they are just super expensive. Unfortunately, there’s no way to legally obtain pdfs anymore or that would be your best bet. The second link is to a thread discussing that and is a really good read.
