I think those LGs are alot tougher than the modern ones

I just did 19, the kids/adults on boats was definitely weirder than the recent ones. Kept up the -0 though!

I'm glad you said this, because holy moly I hated that test. Just felt like I could never get in rhythm. Felt strongest during the experimental (of course). None of the RC passages felt easy. The "equipoise" passage was particularly tricky. I felt alright during both LR sections, but I'm sure I made some errors in each of them. And wtf was up with that last game in LG? I had ~11 minutes to complete it and I still struggled to finish. I had no idea how to diagram it. Perhaps it was just the vague wording of the set-up, but it completely mindfricked me. Definitely going to watch the 7 sage video on it and do the game a couple more times before December 5th.

Gonna BR/ grade right now. I have no idea what score to expect, but I doubt it'll be a new pr.

yeah equipoise screwed me bad when I did 72 and the section is generally harder than other recent tests' rc if scores posted on this forum is anything to go by.

I've been struggling to find the motivation to study these past few days but decided to make myself drill LR today.

-0 on sufficient assumption drills!

And that gives me the motivation to keep studying

Holy sh....! Guys that RC section completely took my by surprise. I didn't finish the last passage, I guess the 2nd and 3rd completely drained my time. I usually get around -3 in RC. Please LSAC Gods, I beg you mercy for us for lsat 77. Hey! LSAT 77, isn't 7 a lucky number??

Also would you say, the rc was unsually difficult compared to other modern tests? I think it sort of is/isn't, but more leaning towards is. I think it was mostly being unprepared on my part.

Just did PT36, it's an old one I did about 9 months ago but it didn't seem that familiar besides the first RC passage

LR1: -0
RC: -4, all of them on that second passage about Latin Renaissance bullshit, had no idea wtf was going on there
LR2: -2
LG: -2, forgot how hard that bus game was

173, don't think this is reflective of how I'd do on a fresh PT normally, but nonetheless content

I think it is more difficult compared to other recent tests. In the Oct thread iirc the best score on 72 rc was like no better than -4, whereas it was much better for other pts.

Equipoise passage and its questions felt evil when I took 72.

despite generous curve pt 72 I think is a hard pt to score well on as the curve may still not compensate fully for the hard rc and LG g4.

LR -3

RC -3

Pretty happy with RC, though looking at what I get wrong I'm missing easy points. I'm holding a consistent -3 nowadays.
Wanna get my LR down more, I'm making some dumb mistakes. I can really tell that I get flustered when doing it.
About to take PT30 woooooo.

-3 on RC is AWESOME!

Found out that i find RC- Law type passages most miserable so I'll drill few of those and jump to do timed RC for PT 50

Will work on flaw q-types during lunch (still at work)

kept 76 aside with an experimental to take it this saturday.
