so many pretzals ITT

tbh I don't think I even like pretzels as much as somethingelse!! but I like her his enthusiasm

[forum_user]

I'm liking this movement ITT. We'll need to do a helluva lot more of it if we wanna get anywhere near 180. I'm really scared we'll get it up to like 140-150 and then we'll all be doomed to a score in that range...

no, I've been holding back from PLL for many years even though I would probably like it. I fucking love tv

[somethingElse]

You NEED to watch it. And once you start you should hop over to the lounge and post in the PLL thread!!

see I love tv but hate starting new shows. same with music and movies. it's a conundrum.

but MAYBE I will especially because TLS fairy godfather insists

I'm actually not positive but I saw Pretzel type it and I like it. I think it just means the equivalent of a long, drawn-out sigh.

Feeling confused and dismayed right now. First 3 sections of PT 75 went great. (Meaning two real sections and the "experimental.") After the break I'm doing section 4 and it's like I feel my brain slowing down; reading and logical thinking are becoming more tedious, but I push through and finish that section well.

Then section 5, logic games. It's like I'm running through molasses. Reading is hard, my vision was slightly blurry, deductions aren't coming to me, I can't see the structure of the games. Games 2-4 feel nonstandard. I tried closing my eyes to settle myself, but I still couldn't think clearly. I might have been headed for a 177+ before games but now I might drop into the 160s.

I don't get it. My breakfast didn't change, I ate and drank during the break, and this has never happened to me before. My stamina has always been fine. I don't know what the hell just happened, how to prevent it in the future, or how to correct it on test day if it resurfaces.

You gotta take a few days of nothing LSAT related (that includes TLS).

Yesterday was a complete off day for me, though.

One day isn't bad, but three would be MUCH better. Look at Meerkat - he took a few days off and his next two PTs were much higher than his previous. Shit happens to people all the time (myself included).

Yea man this. Worked for me. Literally like hitting the reset button. It's like mind steroids.

Take the weekend. Don't do shit. Go get drunk and laid (on a kayak), eat a big steak and mashed potatoes with your boys, and do something...anything...other than this shit for two fucking whole days. I promise, you won't regret it.

Did PT 73 yesterday- scored 166 with experimental and essay (<yes thought i should do one).

This score was a personal best for only have 2 lucky guesses:

LG -2
LR -11
RC -7

^^^ RC still screwing me. I spent 2 days this week doing nothing but RC and things just aren't clicking.

My worst QTs are role and organization, which should be easy. Does anyone have any tips??? Drills that worked for you or blog posts I should read?

I'm thinking I have time to do another 2-day RC binge next week along with balancing enough drilling of my other sections + 3 PTS

Happy MDW everyone!!! Hope we can all find time to have a drink and relax at some point

tbh I don't even know if it's worth taking full PTs under proper testing conditions all that often. I take and review individual sections pretty often, but for my last LSAT I think I only did about ~9 proper PTs as part of my prep and I ended up with a 172. Could just be my personal preference, but im skeptical about how much short-term "stamina building" a person needs to do. Not doing full PTs has kept me completely free from burnout.

[somethingElse]

Well yeah, taking full PTs will be of relative usefulness/importance depending on which areas of test-prep one needs work on most. I think that it's very useful for dealing with test-day nerves, especially if you're taking your PTs at your testing center. Also, taking PTs is a way to get a good picture of where you're at progress-wise and what you need to focus on - it's more accurate in that regard than drilling. PTs also have a way of motivating people because you're stuck doing LSAT for at least 3 or so hours and you also get an idea of what you might score on the real thing.

Yea man, I think everyone is different. I went through pilot training with a guy who could bury himself in the books and drill his checklists/procedures and go out and fly like a dream.

I had to have the stick hours. It was a "feel of the jet" thing for me. No amount of drilling checklists was going to put me in the headspace I needed to fly well.

Similarly, I've noticed doing prep tests gives me the "feel of the test" and the more full-up prep tests I do, the better. If I drill, it doesn't seem to translate. Everyone is different I guess.
