It's all good ;P I'm surprised that more of you don't at least do the whole slashing rules thing (A-->B). I learned that from 7sage vids.

Ugh, my brain feels completely demolished after doing a lot of logic games. Hard to not just go home and be a vegetable.

Man, I forgot how bad I am at RC science. Guess I know what I'm drilling this week.

Though I'll do a lot of drilling throughout using the trainer plan, I'm wondering: how are you all spreading out your drilling and practice tests? Do you drill everyday? And how many practice tests are you taking each week? Are you going to increase more practice tests as you get closer to test day?

I was thinking I could start taking practice exams in the third week of the trainer, and then another the next week, and when I'm done with the trainer I'll have 10-11 weeks left until test day (depending on how fast I get through the trainer). I'll also simultaneously be going through all the Manhattan books. Should I just consistently do a practice exam per week and then maybe 3 the in the last few weeks?

I'm trying to figure this all out so I can set aside PTs for drilling and PTs for full-length practice! Thank you!
The Trainer is the GOAT! haha..

When I was reading The Trainer--which was the first book I used in my studying--I drilled questions that pertained to every chapter. For instance, while I was reading the chapter on LR Flaws I think I did ~50 flaw questions from the Cambridge packet. Mostly the easier ones to save the more difficult for when I went through the LR Bible/MLSAT LR. As far as practice test, I haven't really done any since my diagnostic a few weeks ago. I have just been drilling because I know that my LG skills are still too weak, and have focused on passages/drilling question types. I definitely try to drill everyday after everything I learn. It really helps to instill what you are learning. I would just follow whatever the study schedule says about PT'ing. I would say at this point, wait until you've gone through the trainer to really get into PT'ing. Before I got through the trainer, I sort of found myself struggling to do some questions that the Trainer went on to explain. I basically figured that drilling made more sense--at least at that point. YMMV though. I think your idea to do one after 3 weeks with the trainer is a good plan. As far as setting aside PTs for drilling vs. full-length tests: I a, using all the PTs from 40-77 for full-length test and drilling out of the Cambridge packets that have questions up until PT40. So it may work to break them up like that.

I think you are making a good choice doing the Trainer--> MLSAT. I wish that is what I had done from the get-go. I still don't think the bibles hurt in anyway, but the LR Bible was largely a time sink when the MLSAT seems to be much better imho.
Got it, thanks a ton!! You've been really helpful! Don't know what I'd do without TLS :cry:

:) Of course! I am in the same boat. The peeps on this forum have helped me immensely. Have you taken a diagnostic? I think it may be helpful just to gauge where you are so you can allocate more time to the sections you need work on. If you have, great! If not, it isn't anything that is pertinent, but just something to consider.

I took one around two weeks ago, and I need to focus a lot of RC. LR is okay, though I have trouble with certain question types, and I need to drill drill drill so I can get good at LG again. I guess the one good thing about having done this for so long is that I know where I need help! Were you also retaking? How long ago did you take your first LSAT?

Awesome...Well I can tell you drilling will get you to where you need to be. RC can be a bitch to master, but I think the Trainer does a good job of explaining how to read it properly. LR is a pain, but from drilling for a couple weeks, I went from missing -7 or -9 to about -4 or -5. So there's hope :)

And you are absolutely correct. Knowing where your weaknesses are is a great thing. Now you can be more specific with what you review and drill.

Not retaking. I wish I was so I would know what to expect and help to alleviate my stress lol Hopefully September will be my first and last. But if I don't hit my goal, I will retake in December.

Whoa, that's a great improvement! I took twice already and I really wish I at least hadn't taken the first time, though I canceled my score. I think as long as you know you're 100% ready by test day and you have a great test center (with large desks lol) then don't sweat about not knowing what to expect! In fact, knowing that you have the option to retake should make you more comfortable lol!

Thanks! It feels good to be at least making some progress. I am trying to get LGs down before moving on to full PTs. This time you'll know exactly what to expect. I think where I'm taking it will have decent space. And having December takes a little stress away, but I worry about getting my apps in late as a result. Oh well, no use in stressing I suppose lol :lol:

I went back to my office today at my dads house to drill for the first time since I took the lsat last week. Ended up crawling into bed and took a nap instead. :/ Shame on me. I bought the blueprint RC book today though so I have that going for me.

No shame in that. Somedays if you're just not feeling it, it is best to just relax and do something else. I have been feeling a little burned out lately myself. Get back at it tomorrow and you'll probably do better from having a much deserved break.

Just finished some drilling on LG. Going to hit a chapter on LR in the Trainer before bed.

4 games. -2!
These were ordering games with conditionals on 2 of them. Feeling pretty good about that considering LG was a damn mystery to me a month ago. However, time was slower than I would have liked. Timing will come.

Ah, I see. That's a difficult situation. I would assume going paperless would be quite tricky, but I have never attempted it and am not familiar with the options available, so I can't really speak to that. Best of luck!
Are there good sources that use PDFs? I have a Surface Pro 3 tablet. In many of my undergrad classes I use it to import PDFs/ppts into OneNote and I can write all over them just like you would any piece of paper. I figured I could let my tablet act as the test booklet and then get a spiral notebook or something to act as a bubble sheet. If there are sources like that which usually need a printer, I could definitely manage.

I've been doing something similar, especially with earlier stages of games so that I don't need a million copies of them, but I think I'm going to stop soon. I've definitely made some really silly errors, and I somewhat attribute that to doing something similar to this method... i.e. I'll circle C instead of B when the work for the answer is right there but B is '3' and C is '4'. Basically, I definitely would not do diagnostics using this method. I think it's fine when you are doing a game focused on accuracy rather than speed, but, given how important eliminating answers is, you need to be able to write on the test. [Sort of realized you can probably do this.]

I think you can get most tests as .pdfs, but it probably depends what you are specifically looking for. I'm not sure if the question book by type [not cambridge] is available by .pdf. The name escapes me.

Y'all, I ran 3 miles this morning, and I am feeling great. Def glad I took this summer to workout and do LSAT prep.

Nice!! I miss doing my daily morning beach jogs (only during the summer). So now that it's summer there's no excuse to not go jog outside instead of a stupid treadmill huh? :p

Oh, tbh, I prefer the treadmill. I only jog outside on the weekends, when the gym doesn't open until 9.

Ugh I'm with you on that one! I get into a daze whenever there is a passage on science or some sort of art history.

NETFLIX BINGE BRO!!
haha I'm not a big TV watcher. literally the only shows I watch are Suits, New Girl, and How to Get Away with Murder! I prefer to Xbox binge!
I've been meaning to take a look at New Girl, how is it? Suits and HTGAWM are great shows! Can't wait for Suits' new season next month. I got a friend into Suits and I didn't hear from him for a few days, turned out he nonstop watched suits and finished all seasons in a few days haha.
I love Suits! It is great! Its gotten really emotional recently- Im interested in seeing how this new season starts and continues. I still haven't watched the new HoC season, but I purposely kept away so I don't get into another Netflix binge lol
I'm anxiously wondering how the season is going to start off. I don't want to give anything away for those who haven't seen it so if you haven't, don't open the spoiler.
[+] Spoiler
Do you think the season will begin with Mike being IN jail or coming out of jail? I feel like Harvey is going to attempt to do something insane to get him out of jail if it starts with Mike on the inside.
So my question has been answered!
