Thanks so much to everyone who participated in our Sept BR polls! At this point we've got more votes than people who have expressed interested, so I feel confident the vote is in! We didn't reach much of a consensus on most items, so one more round of runoff voting and we should have everything nailed down and can release the official schedule. So here's the new polls, and as always, please feel free to tag anyone I missed or who you think might be interested.

    If we start 6pm central, I will effectively be forced out of this group. If people are able to do 8pm at all, would really appreciate the vote there! Cookies for all.

    Just to double check, is PT 37-77 all that we will need for the group?

    @Mookittyy Same here, fellow Vancouverite so -2 hours -> conflicts with work etc.
    @180pronto Seems to be the plan based on @bjphillips5's schedule: https://7sage.com/discussion#/discussion/comment/37263

    I really hope it's going to be Sunday Morning + Thursday Evening, because that's only combination that can fit my schedule in UAE time. We'll see how this turns out.

    Yeah, I’m all about some Thursday @CocoZhang . Since that’s the weekday, it’ll give us one extra day to get our shit together while we’re handling the rest of our lives on top of LSAT.

    @180pronto yes, I believe those are the tests we are going to run through. Dig the new Leo avatar, btw.

    Maybe we'd be able to somehow split this BR group in half?
    8 pm central time during the week just isn't feasible for this east-coaster. :( I get up around 5/530 am during the week, so I am usually in bed by 10. This would only give me about an hour of study time with the BR group (if this is what you are all settling on).
    Will there be another BR group available beside this one with different times?

    @jennilynn89 Yikes, that's an early wake-up call. For your sake, I support this idea (since it looks like the majority is now on 8pm central). Would be good for east coasters that can't stay up late and prefer the earlier meeting time.

    As for this group, looks like I got 2.5 weeks to get through as much curriculum as I can.

    @LSATKingsman Not crazier than a Saturday 8:30am LSAT. :P
  • CocoZhangCocoZhang Alum Member
    edited April 2016 476 karma
    @LSATKingsman I think 10AM Sunday morning is very reasonable... As the test will also be in the morning. But as I am currently working in UAE, Sunday morning 10 AM will allow me to join you guys because that's the Sunday evening time for me (Sunday is a workday here).

    For your workday evening meetings, I have to get up at 5AM :D That's even crazier.

    @jennilynn89 we are on the same boat. I start work at 6:00 AM. I'm in bed by 9:30 PM :(
  • jennilynn89jennilynn89 Alum Member
    822 karma
    @jimenezja.jj @Mookittyy Maybe we can try and figure out if more people are on the same boat and we can make another thread with times that work for us East-coasters? I know @DumbHollywoodActor and other Tutors on here lead different BR reviews, so maybe they'll be able to make one work for us?
    It'll take me about three weeks or so to get through the rest of the curriculum, but I'm up for starting the BR group really whenever works for most.

    Would 7pm be any better East Coast?

    That would be 8 ET, correct? if so, yesssssss! @"Cant Get Right"

    Don't know what hours other West Coasters work but I would not be off by 5pm (or even 6pm) PT. Might end up joining you on weekends only.
  • CocoZhangCocoZhang Alum Member

    8 ET wouldn't work for me also. Wonder if we can split.

    I can't tell my preference yet because I'm planning to join you guys in May/June. I'll probably join one of the two groups (if you guys do split) that can fit my schedule in Korea time :)

    And I have a question about how BR works. Do I take the test, BR on my own, join the BR group AND THEN watch the videos? If I watch the videos before the BR group day, I would know which answers I got wrong and so on.

    @"Cant Get Right" 8 PM ET would work for me, since it would give me two hours before bed-time! How long do these BR group sessions usually run for?

    About 2 hours @jennilynn89 !

    @"Purple Paris" I'm planning on PTing beginning June bc I'm still going through the curriculum and I want to make sure I have gotten through all the material before PTing. So I am just going to join the BR group for the tests that I can make :)

    @"Cant Get Right" perfect! If we could do 8 PM ET would be perfect for me then! Hope this all works out for the majority of the people on here!

    Hey guys--how would you all feel about getting started PT'ing in the next couple of weeks? It looks like almost all of the June people have jumped ship to September.

    Personally, I am not ready to start PTing until 2-3 weeks from now.

    Hey y'all, just wanted to give everyone an update:

    So we are working to restructure the whole approach to group BR to do away with the test specific groups. So instead of the Sept BR Group, we are going to proceed as THE BR Group. This will work better to accommodate folks at all levels of LSAT prep and make it a more inclusive process. So bear with us, we should have a finalized schedule soon!

    I think the schedule is still being thought out? I may be wrong. See above.

    @Mookittyy, the first session will be PT 46 on May 1st. Nicole posted a link to a google calendar. I think I tagged you in it, but the thread is "br group calendar now available" if you missed it. They're also doing the 70s over the next few weeks.

    Ah, ok, that's weird - I did not receive a notification for that tag.

    That is weird @Mookittyy . Hopefully that was just a one time glitch..
