Any New Yorkers (NYC Area) interested in joining a Study Group for the June 2017 LSAT?

edited December 2016 in Study Groups 190 karma
Hey everyone! I've always been interested in starting/joining an LSAT study group because I feel thats the best way to learn and motivate yourself for the test. However, someone on Top-Law-Schools has taken it amongst themselves to start a group. I wanted to help him out and post it along here to see if anybody was interested. Obviously, it would have to take place around the NYC metropolitan area. If anyone is interested, please follow this link:

http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=271964&p=9690552#p9690552

I understand many of you are still in undergrad or work full/part time (I'm doing both) but don't let this stop you from joining. With everyone's input, I'm sure we can figure out a time that works best for everyone. I think this would be very beneficial as we'll all learn from each other and come June 2017, we'll be more than ready to tackle the test. Hopefully we can get this going! Best of luck!

    Well, I feel all areas of NYC are very accessible so we could meet up anywhere honestly. As for the day, we'll have to figure out a time in which everybody could meet. I'm going to guess on a Saturday, every 2 weeks or every week or once a month. I feel Fridays, some of you might be working (I work some Fridays). But again, we'll have to see.

    I'm going to agree with weekends (mainly because I work full time during the day). I'm on the west side but could trek a little if needed. How do you all feel about the village or midtown in order to make it easier for folks on the west/east side?

    Awesome! Let's do this. How do we feel about this coming Saturday? Then we could skip 12/24 and 12/31 for the holidays and resume the following weekend.

    What are everyone's goals in terms of what they would like to cover?

    Also, does anyone have ideas for a place to meet, i.e. a Caffe Bene or something? Or maybe if anyone has access to group study space at NYU or another university that could be a good option.
  • TheMikeyTheMikey Alum Member

    will you guys be covering things such as the 7sage CC? or will you be doing questions/sections and reviewing them?

    @coffeebiscotti, how about Starbucks at the Village or at the Jefferson Market Library (NYPL).

    I might be interested as well depending on time/ location! :) I'd be coming in from deep Brooklyn so being too far uptown might be a bit of a trek for me.

    edited December 2016 190 karma
    Well, I haven't gotten a response from the person who originally posted on Top-Law-Schools but I'm absolutely down to go ahead and start the group with anyone who has demonstrated interest on here. Lets all agree on a date after the holidays.

    @coffeebiscotti This saturday will be tough for me as I am celebrating a birthday. Next week is impossible since I'm assuming everyone will be celebrating the holidays. What does everyone else think?

    @cm214998, How about we meet after the Holidays in January 2017
  • coffeebiscotticoffeebiscotti Alum Member
    40 karma
    After the holidays it is! That will be better for me in all honesty; this weekend I am preparing for a trip out of town and need Saturday to run errands. I look forward to getting started! Let's touch base after the new year; I like the Starbucks (the Sheridan Square one, I am guessing?) and NYPL ideas for location. Does the Jefferson Market Library allow for group/collaborative study in terms of noise?
  • jimmyrivera201-1jimmyrivera201-1 Core Member

    @coffeebiscotti, The jefferson Library does not have a group study, but the NYPL at 42 Street has a group area to study.

    Thank goooood you guys didn't meet today, the weather is disgusting haha.

    Please let me know when and where you guys will be meeting when you do, I'm interested. Also, is someone going to make a type of schedule for each week on what we will be doing? Like what PT, section, question type, etc?
  • cm214998cm214998 Alum Member

    NYPL is great place, I know they have group study areas. Jefferson Market Library - I've been there once, but it was a bit crowded, couldn't find a place to sit and work, so I'm not sure. Preferably, if anyone knows any places where we can sit and down and work for a few hours without disturbing anyone and with relative peace and quiet. That would be ideal.

    As for scheduling, lets meet up once in person, everyone who is interested and we'll see where everyone is at. That way, if we have a large group, we can all team up and work together with everyone at our pace. Also, for those of you who are more advanced or have studied longer and understand the test better, maybe you can tutor or explain concepts better for those who are struggling. But I think it's best to meet up once in person to meet everyone, get to know each other and then figure out if we want to schedule PTs, or "lessons". Everyone here has 7sage so that's good in terms of study materials.

    What day works best for everyone?

    I'm going to be out of town from the 2nd onwards (I go to school in Boston and I have a Winter term class on the ICC) but I could probably start in Feb.

    Idk what the consensus is but weekdays work better for me!
  • MaritzaaMaritzaa Alum Member

    @cm214998 After the New Year works! I can meet after 6P on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I work in Midtown, so a place that wouldn't take too long to trek to would work best.

    Btw, I am at the PT phase; hoping to link with others who are at the same stage.

    @cm214998 After the New Year works! I can meet after 6:00 p.m and forwards and even on weekends anytime. I do work in Tribeca, but we can meet anywhere.

    @cm214998 I'm also available after the New Year! I think we should meet to confer and see where everyone is at in terms of studying stage, and perhaps break off into even smaller groups based on that... in my past experience with LSAT study groups, the smaller the better (and more efficient). @Mitzyyyy I'm at the PT phase too, if you want to connect and get a head start!

    I can do Saturdays! After the holidays works for me as well. I'd be traveling from basically the very end of Queens so it would take me a while to get there but anywhere from around the village towards more downtown would be ideal for me.

    also, im kind of at the PT stage as well (I've taken twice already), but I wouldn't mind going over some techniques and stuff, and having people to do drills with and go over them.

    Good morning everyone! Happy New Year! I see a few of you have already planned to meet this weekend for PT's. Anyone on here still in the core curriculum? I'll be continuing the CC, as I am not in the PT phase yet. If anyone can meet tomorrow Friday, please let me know as that would be ideal. If not, we can schedule sometime next week.
