So abroad its still in the morning then? Didn't actually know that. When I registered it didn't tell me a time.

I'm going through the Trainer since I didn't before taking in September. Other than that, drill heavily. You pretty much know your weaknesses at this point, so drill those. Especially RC, since you said in the other thread it was your biggest variable.

Same position, except I don't really know what my weaknesses are other than choking entirely under pressure and throwing all strategy to the wind. Pretty hard to drill that problem.

Why do you think you choked? Is there a way to make your PTs more closely resemble the actual test? Maybe if you can take some of your PTs in the actual room (or a classroom if you can't get into the exact room) that you'll be taking it in, it will help calm your nerves on test day.

I've been drilling LR 10 questions at a time from Manhattan's 10 Real LSATS Grouped by Question Type book

Necessary assumptions 7/10
Sufficient assumptions 3/3
Identify a flaw 10/10
Strengthen weaken 10/10
Principles 10/10
Analyze the argument 10/10

50/53

Still yet to do:
Inferences
Matching (Parallel)
Explain a result
Advanced Conditional logic

I've noticed that while looking through the answer choices for the first time I'll often think to myself "that's clearly wrong" instead of logically explaining why that is the case. I should get out of this habit, although going 50/53 on drilling is fairly good, it will likely hold me back down the road when I'm trying to achieve mastery in this section.

Taking the day off tomorrow from LSAT and school to binge watch House of Cards.

No ragrets.

Thoughts on exercising before PTs? Does strenuous exercise hurt performance?

Impromptu poll: Should I sign up for Netflix again solely to watch the new House of Cards?

I still haven't watched the second season. The first season was well done, though.

Speaking of Netflix, I really should get rid of mine for the next couple of months.

[RZ5646]

Second season was fantastic, even though my favorite character died. But my least favorite character also died, so that was cool. Suffice it to say, people die. (I don't think that's a spoiler.)

I got rid of Netflix awhile ago and haven't really missed it since Amazon gives you free video streaming with prime, but HoC might make me switch back. Or maybe I'll just mooch off of my friends. I'd feel like an idiot paying for Netflix when you can just get someone's password.

Last poll results:



Also, it looks like I might be doing research this summer, so idk if I still want to take the June LSAT or not. I had planned on not doing a goddamn thing in May and just studying, but if I accept this that won't be possible.

[JackelJ]

Why is the poll changing so often? You're going to run out of good polls by June.

Also, I'm doing research now and still studying for the LSAT on top of classes, marathon training, and resurrecting my social life. And its going great, I still have time to waste watching netflix. My opinion (its not nice) is that research would be a lame excuse to plan on not taking the test in June. Life gets in the way of the test and you're going to have to work around it and get your studying in.

[RZ5646]

We'll see what happens. If I'm PTing in the 175 range then I might as well take it, since I already paid the money.

I'm changing the polls because this thread has gotten boring. Jackal, Dirigo, Gamer, do something entertaining and stir the pot lol

Just did a RC section, PT19, and went 23/27. This shit is hard.
RZ, I think next poll should be how many hours of LSAT studying one does per week.

[TheWalkingDebt]

Where's everyone from?

[179orBust]

[BruiseWillis]

Impromptu poll: Should I sign up for Netflix again solely to watch the new House of Cards?

Yes. That is the only answer if the alternative is not watching!

[NonTradLawHopeful]

Where's everyone from?

Live in the Nashville area but grew up in Pennsylvania.

Are people taking superprep A&B and going over them together? I thought I saw that when skimming the last couple pages but am too lazy to go back further and see if its a thing

Yeah. Superprep A&B by Sunday, and then have next week to discuss them.

Thanks. I've already taken both but I'll redo the parts that I didn't mark up with pen (I was stupid a year ago) and join in on the discussion

eta: pretty surprised there's actually group studying going on in the study thread

[a_parm]

From New York

[RZ5646]

I'll try to do A and B but I haven't done any studying for a while, especially for LG, so I predict a disaster. I guess this will be an experiment about how much you lose when you ignore the test for a time.

I've noted the hours studying poll suggestion. We'll do that next.

[20170322]

Considering printing up all the TLS RC guides and taping them to the wall next to my bed. Straight up, if I can nail RC, there's no telling...
