I gotta really go through and see where I'm going wrong. I know I struggle with Sufficient Assumptions and certain Flaw questions a bit dropped from my 157 on my last PT so I'm slightly frustrated with myself. I wanna get past that 160 barrier already, but I know slow and steady wins the race- gotta take that time to really analyze each question!

i hate those buggers. along with nec assumptions.... but they're slowly getting easier.. practice

scored PT 44 that I took yesterday. kinda bummed because i dipped in scores-- might wanna do some more drilling and content based stuff before i take another PT. after i took it i knew it was rough since the LR shook me a bit. my breakdown:

Actual: 153 (w/ BR: 161)
RC: -7 (w/ BR -5)
LR: -8 (W/ BR -6)
LG: -7 (ran out of time for the last game so basically guessed.. w/ BR -1)
LR: -12 (UGHHHH. damn it. w/ BR -9)

yea no joke that's the plan if this doesn't work out. but I'm almost sure I can make this work. my boss at a firm I was working at last year was late 30s not married and was still paying off his debt. so even having no kids / no wife and still paying debt off by almost 40 opened my eyes to that. he said try to borrow as little as possible. so that's my goal.

as for schools I was thinking U san diego (since it is close), nevada, arizona, hawaii, colorado. I must start looking up some more options. don't want to stray too far from CA.... would enjoy driving home every now and then. not a big fan of flying. which schools you looking at?

My alternative is to drop everything and become a monk/philosopher
None specific on my list yet, but Colorado mostly, since it has the cheapest living expenses.

Studying while working full time is tough

Tell me about it! I feel like a Zombie at least few times a week. At least I don't have Ebola, so that's going for me.

3 years on oahu. I'd be down for CO though I love it up there the people are cool

[JDman]

I have 64 days to bump my diagnostic of 138 to a 165. Possible? LOL

Never know till you try

Seriously though, what are your weak areas? Are you struggling with LG (b/c that's one of the easiest to fix), etc

ETA- have you drilled any? What books have you read?

I am half way done with both PS LG and Manhattan LR. Just started Manhattan RC. Haven't really drilled, only the drills provided by the books.

After reading the material, what should be my next move? With so little time left...

Drilling. Lots and lots of drilling. It'll improve your accuracy and your speed. Don't even worry about taking PTs at this point because you need to focus on the fundamentals of the exam first. Have you bought the Cambridge packets?

No I haven't. Should I? Which ones? I understand LG and LR about equally. Gimme time and I can get correct answers. I just need to increase speed! Drilling then huh? What bundles are best to purchase???

Vacation or Soul searching? I'd imagine people are cool up in CO, pots legal there so that's got to say something about them.

For LR, I would get the PT 1-38 Packets divided by Question Types.

Cool, thanks. How about LG?

needed to search my soul so I chose to go to school there. 2 birds wit a stone. they let u burn everywhere over there. cops didn't even care.. parking attendant lady at my work always puffin on a J when I was going to my car in the parking garage. yea I hope a bunch of other states will follow legalizing it now that 2 others did !!

7sage has all the games on their videos for free. and logic games bible is good to learn the foundation of games. at least it was for me. those videos though have saved my ass

I'm from WA originally and I can't wait to visit home and finally legally buy some pot. Funny story...I know a guy who was one of the first in line and as such was on a few news stations. His boss saw him, he got drug tested the next day at work, and was fired.

Which school? I almost went to UHM, but decided to stay in WA.

damn that's some bad luck right there...pretty funny though too. I used to have my medi card here before I went off to school. the place I used to get my goods at gave student discounts and would give like 5 joints each time you go in just cause you're a student hahaha it was so sick. they've since shut down. I hope California hops on that train soon

went to hawaii pacific for 1 semester then transferred to UH manoa. it's definitely a big move and takes some getting used to being so far from anything but i'd recommend it if u don't get too homesick!

I never got a green card, but I'm a girl, so I don't exactly have to buy my own weed haha.

no truer words have been spoken.

Nice. I had a friend who went there and always posted pics on fb and it almost made me regret UW. Being at the beach all year lo would be legit

yeah all my instagram and facebook feed is full of people posting their cliff jumping, diving, turtle flirting pictures and it kind of pisses me off. a lot.

Is there a causation link between smoking pot and being smart? or is that just something COOKED up?

[dreamerchic19]

have taken the LSAT twice, thinking about December

I don't feel mentally motivated so I'm thinking about investing in a class this time instead of self study

Has anyone had any good experience with Kaplan?
