Hello September LSATers!

I am very excited to be assisting @bjphillips5 in leading the September BR group, and as it is getting about that time, we’d like to reach out in order to get some feedback from the group on things like what days and times are best for people. We’ve got a diverse geographic spread, so we want to be able to accommodate everyone as well as possible.

So our first question is when to begin. The sooner we start, the more time we’ll have to schedule breaks for holidays and things. A later start will give those who need it a little more time to review curriculum. As a reminder here, everyone works at their own pace, and no one should feel any pressure to rush themselves to begin PTing before they are ready!

Secondly, I believe we’ll be able to follow Benjamin’s excellent tentative schedule with little change, we just need to figure out how best to structure our meetings throughout the week to best accommodate everyone. The scheduling must conform to the following rules:
The group may meet on Saturday or Sunday but not both.
If the group meets twice on weekdays, the group does not meet on Wednesdays.
The group does not meet on consecutive days.
If the group meets on Saturday, it does not meet on Monday or Thursday.
If the group meets on Sunday, it does not meet on Tuesday or Friday.

Last, what times work best for people? Weekdays will be more restricted, but on the weekends I don’t see any reason why we couldn’t meet at 4am. Just kidding, but weekends will be generally more flexible, so I’ll attach one poll for weekdays and another for weekends.

That’s all for now! I’m tagging everyone who has expressed even tentative interest, so do them polls y'all. Please tag anyone I missed or that you think might be interested.

    Late as possible on weekdays best IMO. Anytime on weekends, LSAT is gonna be hella early anyway. Also later start would be preferable, since I am still not even close to finishing the curriculum. :P

    Thanks for the feedback so far guys! Keep it coming, and by all means, debate the merits of different options if you have reasons for a preference.

    Looks like about half the votes are in, thanks for responding everyone!

    I’m trying to tag all those from above who’s tags didn’t work to make sure everyone gets a chance to see this; but it’s only letting me do one at a time, so going to add in a series of comments with each of them tagged individually. Sorry for the clutter!

    Do we have a rough approximation of when the poll will be closed for final decisions? It looks like, right now, there is a tie on when to start the group. Since I voted for the latest option, my vote isn't making a huge impact there, but would prefer the 4/25 start over 4/11 if it comes down to a tie after polling is closed.

    @Mookittyy I was thinking about doing run off voting for anything that doesn’t reach a majority. Looks like we’ve got most of the votes in, so we’ll leave up a few more days and then see what it looks like then. And thanks everybody! Making the actual schedule is the part of all of this I would dread doing, so @bjphillips5 really made all this easy! I can’t wait for us to get started!

    So anybody work out the rules on the days thing? I’m not much of a psychometrician but I think it all works. Y’all know that’s what they’re called right? psychometricians.

    I might be joining the Sept group, as I am still not sure about my June test yet.

    Any idea when the dates/times are set in stone?

    @stepharizona There’s actually an option to add a poll when you start any new discussion. And if you do decide to hold off for September, let me know and I’ll add you to the list!

    As quickly as everyone has responded to this poll, @180pronto , I think we should have something in about a week or so.

    I wonder if that is a "mentor" feature, as I don't see it... or I'm just overlooking it... or both ha. Yes I know thats an invalid argument... or is it?!?!?!

    How come there is no September 2016 LSAT study group, the only I see are February and June. I just wanted to say I'm officially joinng the Septies for the LSAT. There is no way I can get through the curriculum in time for the June test AND get adequate PTing in. My plan is to spend the next two months getting through the curriculum and training and then PTing from June on. So yeah, I'm in for this group too!

    Not sure @stepharizona . It’s located right above the post discussion button for me. May be a mentor feature, this is the first one I tried to do, so never really noticed.

    @"Cant Get Right" I just figured out a way to attend both of the meetings haha. Because in UAE, weekend is Friday and Saturday, and because there is a 9-hour time difference, if we schedule the meetings on Thursday evening (Friday morning my time) and Sunday morning (Sunday evening my time), then I am able to attend both! And it seems like Sunday morning + Wednesday/Thursday evening option is by far the most popular one, which is great.

    For the Thursday evening meeting, if it is scheduled at 8PM (which is 5AM my time), I am able to attend the second half (at least from 6AM). If you guys can push the starting time to 8:30PM that would be awesome, but no pressure.

    I think it looks great to me. Working on core curriculum now!

    Right on @CocoZhang ! I was wondering how we were going to fit you in, at least occasionally, but that seems to have actually worked out really well. Glad you'll be able to join us on the regs!
