Maybe you guys can help me. Literally 80% of all my wrong answers on RC I narrowed it down to 2 and guessed wrong... Is this just an anomaly? I put little dots next to ones I like, so I can tell which answers I was considering when I'm reviewing. Is there something I'm missing or should I just pray it gets better

Grey do Canadians go apeshit over Malcolm gladwelll

I'm an unrepresentative sample size, but... umm... who?

NVM his picture jogged my memory. I'd say no...

Ohh well he's super Canadian and cool af so I was jw

[ilikebaseball]

also, it sounds fucking shitty, but lately ive missed a few main point questions. I narrow it down to two and pick the wrong one. They're so fucking similar its convoluted. Any advice on this as well?

I have same issue on the ones I miss on RC so my advice would leave you In same position

Are you citing text for right answer

There is always a line that justifies an answer

Also, Kevin is the name of one of my most evil exes and lolol I kept trying to assign him to HELL.

I hate when the names are distracting:

• Kanye (Kayne)
  Spivey
  Your own name
  Your evil ex's name (we all have one)
  Something absolutely impossible to pronounce

Do you remember the game where you're trying to figure out the order of meetings with foreign dignitaries? There was one character named Matsuba, and I just kept seeing "Masturbator" every time I read his name (because I'm a 13 year old boy inside). It was very distracting.

LOL

[ErgoSum]

Anyone hear anything else in regards to numbers of people testing this Saturday? What happened to that Spivey thread?

[vracovino]

I did PT 71 this morning.

Section 1, LR: -1 (Yay!)
Section 2, LG: -1 (Okay, I can live with that!)
Section 3, LR: -8 (Wait, what?!?!)
Section 4, RC: -9 (My ass hurts)

The mirrors passage wasn't even a problem, it was passage 2 and 3 for some reason.

-8 in LR is that a super outlier for you? I've had the same thing happen where I go -1 on one section, -4 or -5 on the other. It's a buzzkill for sure- but I mean they do it on purpose.

It is an outlier. Recently, I've been going anywhere from -1 to -4. I think I got distracted because I felt really good after the games section and started thinking (oooh, I just wonder how good I'm going to do here?!) and there were a couple people outside the window talking about how to clear out a hornets' nest. I did it to myself. RC on the other hand I've been very erratic.

That might also be the section everyone calls super hard. What's your current average? I wish I was as solid as you appear to be in LG because our scores seem relatively similar otherwise

Hell no I don't write it out during the test. I'm just saying look to the passage to find something that justifies your answer just like you'd look to a diagram to justify an answer when doing games

th3 library is poppin today guys only snuck in 1 game so far the chalet game its kinda fun

[bound]

Thanks for the week wishes everyone! I got some antibiotics and I am currently in bed. Got the day off from work! I'll be here relaxing all day. Guess my last bit of studying was this morning :/ oh well, KCLO (keep calm LSAT on)

This is making me nervous. I am on break, felt that the past two sections went well.

[AOT]

Oh noooo superrprep c LG did not go well. Confidence shattered.

those are hard. take some games from 40-45 to cheer yourself up!

[ilikebaseball]

can anyone cite an example of a mapping game from a PT? just wanna make sure im good lol yall done got me the paranoia

[AOT]

JUST discovered I have preptests A B and C. That's three whole new logic games sections to work on. Kinda great, but really tonight? Scared this is going to bruise my confidence..

Definitely just skip those games and spend your time resting. If you really want to do more studying, go over games you have done and reviewed before.

Whoopsie just seeing this now.

Too late, too late...

anxiety insomnia seems to be setting in, slept 5 hrs last night, thank god I have tomorrow off so I can sleep in and make some good hours. this better not persist tho it's the only thing that can fuck it up now. fuck.

Can you get an extra long run in tomorrow? That's what I'm planning on doing. It actually rained up here today, so I can count on it not raining for at least another few months. That's flawed reasoning generally, but 'round these parts.
