I'm up around 6 most days for work, so the early start suits me just fine. Do my studying at night, never seemed to be a problem.

Due to health issues I can start feeling pretty gassed by the early afternoon, so getting in and out of the test early in the day is great.

I feel bored as hell while drilling level 1-2 questions they are too easy for me, is there any point in even doing these? I'm just getting back into the swing of things this week, took a pro-longed break from studying (it helped a ton!) Should I just focus on level 3-4s? currently going through the cambridge LR packet

Very. I am NOT a morning person.

My natural sleep schedule is like 4am to noon. I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with an 8:00 am test time.

I'm gonna be getting up earlier as we get closer to the test date but I still don't think I'll be at 100% and I've had bad results caffeinating right before a PT.
I don't do mornings so I'm very concerned about the 8 am test time. I avoided 8 ams all throughout college for a reason.
I'm going into my senior year never having taken a class before 12:30.

I'm so fucked for the real world.

How did you manage to swing that?

Was definite a factor for me on the PT I took without waking my brain up and/or having my daily coffee. Went -9 on the first LR section lol

This will be me.

Are you always going -0 no matter what the question type is? If so, your time would probably be better spent on the more difficult questions.

Yeah pretty much, but fuck it I already printed out all this paper no point in wasting it. It can't hurt I guess and I got ample amounts of time

Just finished up PT 45....
I felt much more confident during LR2 than LR1, I'm starting to wonder if I should do a practice LR section prior to PT'ing to get in a groove. Can anybody comment on this?

I tend to do better on the second LR too. I think warmup is important.

Bye one get one half off at Chipotle: http://www.chipotlefriendorfaux.com

Guys I have a confession: I am a college guy and I have never once eaten at Chipotle. My undergrad career is a pitiful sham.

Also, new poll up.

I'd drill a few questions, usually do a logic game or two prior to PTing. oddly enough I wouldn't warm up with RC, which is my weakest section. BTW your avi is hilarious considering the news breaking re: hulk hogan today

I don't think Chipotle is as great as people make it to be. I'm neutral about them, and never seek it out.

Also, as far as warming up before a PT goes, I think it helps. I usually do 10 LR questions, 1 game and 1 RC passage.

College girl here...I've never had Chipotle either and I feel like a pariah in society because of it

It's not your fault, I'm assuming you've never been in a chipotle-heavy market. I've never had chik-fil-a for a similar reason but it's on my bucket list

I really want some Zaxby's for lunch.
