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.

Comments
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!
@"Purple Paris"
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?
As quickly as everyone has responded to this poll, @180pronto , I think we should have something in about a week or so.
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!
can you please add me into this??
