February 2014 LSAT Study Group Forum

Idea: one of us should make a waiters thread Friday night or before the LSAT Saturday morning so we're guaranteed to have a good OP who'll put up polls and stuff. I assume all of you will be active waiters thread posters I nominate Miracle or zhenders if either of them want to!

+1

The thought of a waiters thread is terrifying me. Also, are you guys taking the day before off? I just read an article that recommended two days off... but I have a PT planned for Tues/Thurs with Friday off. I don't think I could take Thursday off without multiplying my nerves x 1000

I dont agree with this, but JMO. It keeps my mind on track and I PT higher. I plan to PT 2 days before and review and drill Friday.

Look at your progress on PTs. If you do better with time in between studying then take 2 days off.

Zhenders will love to!!!

As soon as he catches his breath due to a long flight from Mexico

Sounds great?

I am probably withdrawing from the test since I received an acceptance email from the school I applied to. Such a stress relief to not have to take this damn test again.

Congratulations!!! Do you mind sharing what school you were accepted to?

I second that congrats thats truly my dream to get into my top choice without having to retake. Couldn't be happier for you go celebrate

PT 47 game 2

Can someone please help me understand what the last rule means. I assumed I had it as it turn out I didn't. Now, I think I get it but would love second analysis.

Thank you all in advance.

I don't think I have this PT (is it not in a book?) but have you watched the 7sage video?

Yeah..I kind of dont get what he is saying lol he is trying to explain it since its a tough rule but I'm not seeing it.

I appreciate your effort

Zhenders, will be back soon. I'm sure he will be able to shed a light on it.

Im going to use 70 and take it untimed just to get it perfect tonight. Then I will PT 71 on Wednesday and review and lightly drill on Thursday. That, my friends, will be the end of LSAT for me.

Good for you!! Let us know how you do.

I will be taking at least one PT each day before the test, and drill logic games of course. I've been watching 7sage videos the whole day. )

I believe this rule is referring to the definition of circuit load in the stimulus (which states that a circuit load of the panel is the total number of panel is the total number of its switches that are on).

So keep in mind CL = TOTAL switches on. Then the rule says the switch whose number corresponds to the circuit load of the panel itself (which means that the TOTAL switches on means that that number must also be on. 2 switches on = 2 will be on

I agree with making a decision based on your PT history. I tend to perform my best after days on which I drill, but don't PT, so I plan to PT on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and lightly drill LGs on Friday. I also find that I am slow to warm up on PTs, especially early morning ones, so I plan to do a few LGs on game day.

Just PT'd for the first time since my diagnostic. Upped it almost 20 points.

Tuesday:

Nice work! In what section did you have your biggest gains?

Almost 20 points -- YEESSSSSSSSS!!!! And this is your first PT since diagnostic? WORD! You are gonna KILL this test.


Miracle, I think Nicolena explained that game rule well -- I'm going off of memory of that game (it's been a month or so) but it sounds right. When I have a free moment I'll check it and post it. I'm finishing packing -- not much time unfortunately for anything but a quick forum scan and post!

RC.

I need to really learn to be mentally tough. The first section of PT60 was experimental logic games. The first one went by easy, second one was hard and then i mentally psyched myself out.

Didnt recover till after my break.

That's fantastic (RE: reading comp). Being able to improve that much on what is often considered to be the hardest section is a real achievement!

How many more PTs do you plan on doing? I would suggest doing at least one or two in order to put the memory of psyching yourself out behind you.

Congrats! That must have been such a good feeling seeing that huge jump

[xylocarp]

Feeling really disheartened by a bad LG section :/ Ran out of time, missed two on the game that gave me trouble and missed another because I was rushing.

PT 70

LR1 -1
RC -0
LG -3
LR2 -2

Raw score 95/101
Scaled 175

My only strategy at this point is to hope really hard for an easy LG on Saturday.

Seriously this is still totally killer. -0 on RC, too! You've been NAILING RC lately.

[xylocarp]

Thanks guys, I am definitely excited to have pulled off a 175 despite the -3 on LG!

Hey, welcome back! How was your flight?

[zhenders]

Oh, I wish it were over I've finished packing, and I'm about to shower before heading to the bus station:

Bus: 12:00 - 2:30
Arrive at airport in Mexico City at 2:30/2:45
Flight: 6:15 AM
Arrive in Dallas at 8:30
Flight: 9:45
Arrive in Little Rock, AR at 11:45
Then another couple hours to my final destination via car

It's going to be a long two days.

Edit: yeah, I can see how I made it seem like I was running out the door earlier goodbyes to make, things to sort out and all of that bank trips, last-minute visits
