Are you my mother? Minus the pot smoking and the Battlefield, of course.
lol, its honestly a great sub. no crash. body feels good. take my vitamins. do my exercise. etc

what u up to shak hows the pt going

You should try Jasmine Green Tea. It's chill af. Very relaxing.

Finished PT an hour ago (took 67 with exp. from 13). Graded it and just a few q's shy from hitting the 170, so I'm excited! My last few PTs have been horrible. I figured with a week left, I did not want to waste time with full BR, so I'm gunna go over the ones I got wrong and just BR those. YAY LEARNINGZ. Derp'd on LG with a -3. I usually average -0-1. How are you, uno?

Also - (un)officially decided last night: gunna be rollin' with the c/o 2019 crew. Sup dudes.

Did you by chance incorrectly diagram the H-S rule in game 3? I did and went -3 so I was wondering if they maybe anticipated that careless error.

Initially, yes - I did! But then I caught it midgame and amended my original diagram. Question 14 gave the inference away (because if P is in 3, then M is in 2, F has to be in 1. But if S has to be before M&P, and you put it in 1, H would go off the board with the H-S interpretation). I derp'd on the last game. I just couldn't understand it. Got 2 wrong on that one, and made a silly mistake on the first game.

I definitely think they anticipated the error in game 3 - I've seen games in the past that propose the rule similarly, hoping that you forget that the rule doesn't discount the possibility that they can be in the same aisle/group. LSAC is tricky!

ETA: Gunna watch JY explain game 4 to me. JY makes everything okay.

Yeah that last game was tough! I had to keep going to the rules to make sure I was working through the questions properly. Question 21 took me quite a bit of time.

Just took PT 70 and got a 172. I completely messed up the LR2 with -5 (3 of which were the last 3 questions of the section because I was running out of time)

December 6 is sooo close

So, I totally saved Sept's test as "PTest 74" on my computer. Today is the first day I looked at the file.

Laughed and cried at my computer's omniscience. Brb, gunna rename it to 73.

Are you practicing with 4 or 5 section PT's?
