PT 81 BR Sessions with J.Y.
J.Y. Ping
Administrator Instructor
Hey 7Sagers, I'm leading BR calls for PT 81 (June 2017 LSAT).
I'm holding 12 sessions total. 4 for each of LR 1, LR 2, and RC. Each session will focus on only one section of PT 81.
All sessions will start at 7:30p ET and end at 9:30p.
Multiple sessions are meant to accomodate people's various schedules and to reduce class size per session.
What happens in these sessions?
I'll ask students to state which questions were circled for BR. We'll work through the questions the group nominates. I generally try to ask students questions to elicit the right response. Please wear headphones and try to be in a quiet place.
How should I prepare?
Take PT 81 and have the questions you'd like to BR ready. The first thing I'll ask everyone is which questions they'd like to BR.
Next Session
9/6 Wednesday - Section 1 - RC, Passages 3 and 4
7:30p - 9:30p ET
Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

Thanks for this boost and gift for September LSAT taker. I will do it seriously as I can and join the review.
I can't find PT81 on my syllabus though.
Nice! I'd love to join!
I can't find it either. Hmm.. this is weird..
@TheMikey There's one commentary video for PT81 though.same to you?
Yeah, that's the only thing under PT81. Perhaps they will post the rest of PT81's stuff before the first review call?
Hmmm. Amazon says the publication date of PT81 is September 4, 2017.
@dennisgerrard I also did not find the printable PT 81 in my sylla as well. There is only one live commentary.
@akistotle I also heard that it will be public on 4th Sept. But I placed an order on Amazon last week, and amazon just shipped it out. Wired.
Hey, I think the last 3 dates listed are incorrect. Could someone clarify which are the last 3 days of BR sessions? Thank you!
Hahaha I think almost every date on there is wrong. JY must be smoking the good stuff
Will there be explanation videos before the September exam?
I'll have what he's having
PT 81 should appear in the Syllabus very soon. Many people have already received PT 81 from Amazon. It seems they released it well before the September 4 projection. After you take it, you might wish that was not the case
. I am sure J.Y's guidance will be a great help. I look forward to it!
Oh I didn't know that it could be released before the publication date! Thanks!
Hey sorry about the dates - the last three days of the week did not match up with the dates. They're fixed now, I think. Any other date issues?
PT 81 will indeed be on sale / accessible via your syllabus very soon.
@westcoastbestcoast Video explanations for PT 81 will be released one week before the September LSAT.
According to Amazon my test was delivered yesterday so I'll have to check my mail when I get home tonight. Also, IIRC, they beat their projected release date by a couple weeks for PT80, too.
I don't know why I bought the hard copy but I'm so glad 7Sage has all the tests in one convenient place now.
This is awesome. Will there be future sessions like this? I'm only halfway through the CC and not sure if I should start doing PTs.
Wait until you're done with the CC to start doing PTs
Yea that's my plan; that's why I'm wondering if JY plans on doing any future sessions like this ... fingers crossed!
I think he most likely will! He did it for the June exam in which he did several BR sessions with people for PT80 (:
I think you can count on that! This is something that seems pretty regular, at least since I've been around
AWESOME.
Very excited to join. Thanks for doing this. Seems PT 81 isn't up yet still so will keep checking back. Hope to have enough time to do it and BR it before the call.
Amazing opp -- anywhere to purchase locally in NY since it is not up yet? Or ETA when it can be purchased as the add-on?
@bklsat05 @"vanessa fisher" @tringo335 @"Alex Divine" @TheMikey @akistotle @westcoastbestcoast @Mellow_Z @bswise2 @sjiang666 @dennisgerrard @"Daniel.Sieradzki"
If you have U+, then PT's 81 is in your syllabus. You can also purchase it as an add-on too.

I'm excited!!!

(although I don't know when I'll be taking PT81)
Woo it's available on U+ syllabus! Man oh man.
7Sage is the freakin' best! It's truly the gift that keeps on giving!
thanks J.Y.!
bravo！
This…81 was HARD
Yup, I had tons of fun with one RC passage in particular.
Thank you JY. Sounds good!
I am only bummed about the non-U+ members who purchased the test and don't get the live commentary. Or maybe I just don't know how to access it... I am only able to get video explanations for the LGs. Regardless, thank you for this super nice gift for the September takers!
Was PT 81 like one of the hardest RC sections you've ever seen? I don't know if I was just having a meltdown but man that threw me, and I'm someone that has RC as their strongest section every time. I barely finished the fourth passage in time. I think throwing in that RC section right at the beginning is a great reminder of how test takers can f*ck with you psychologically and throw your confidence for the test. Good reminder!
also, just occurred to me that maybe I shouldn't share my experience just in case it throws others that haven't taken the test yet. My bad!
Also, it really just could have been me. I nearly had a full on meltdown in RC cause it is usually my strongest section
There are no video explanations (and the Live Commentary) for LR and RC for PT81 yet. I think J.Y. will post them after these BR sessions.
I think many people felt this way about PT81. Out my 3 friends who took 81, all agreed it was the hardest RC they'd ever done.
@"Alex Divine" I have to say that makes me feel so much better. I was like literally almost crying. LOL, very unlike me. It took me completely off guard
Aw! Don't cry ... My good buddy*** who is an RC beast (averaged around -2 on RC) thought 81 was a BEAST of its own. I think JY's BR sessions will help demystify how to do well on PT 81s RC section.
I actually found it: https://7sage.com/lesson/preptest-81-s3-lr-live-commentary/
@"Alex Divine" yeah for sure, and part of it was just the shock. I felt like I was reading gibberish, and then panicked. If I'd calmed down I would have been fine. Good reminder to not panic!
Oh so there are the Live Commentary videos already in the CC! Haha
Sorry.
Thanks JY for the LR - so looking forward to RC especially the Inf passage. I spent less than 20 seconds on the 1st sentence, glanced down at the structure & skipped it to limit losses on points and that strategy served me well. Very excited to understand how I could have gained more points on that passage:)
JY the sessions have been amazing, I think going forward I need to completely change my BR method..... You really make us drill down into that question and the ACs.
I think on behalf of everyone in that room, thank you for giving us your time we appreciate it so much
Re: RC, I deff think if I had done passage #4 and then went back to 2/3 I would have scored better. I had about 3-4 mins to do 4 and I got most wrong. Also I think the strategy in the Live commentary is so smart. It is the same as the comparative LR q. Read Pass1, go to Qs and eliminate. I can't wait to do the BR.
@bklsat05 Thanks for feedback. I'm looking forward to joining my session:)
it is somehow scary that PT81 has a very ungenerous curve
Probably due to games section being too standard
think I will do my first join in on 9/3 !
@"vanessa fisher" I kept reading that, I went -4 in RC when I took the test but my LR went to poop, and not just a little. I went -7/-5 in LR and I STILL don't know what happened...blind reviewed both sections and fixed every mistake almost effortlessly. IDK what happened to me during the test...
