Just finished watching Season 2 Episode 1 of Transparent. SO GOOD!
If you have Amazon Prime and haven't watched Transparent, I highly recommend it.

Eh I like how it currently is and having the onus be on numbers.

Cambridge bundles and books are generally the recommended drilling tools.
It's basically when you do individual questions, games, or passages one after another to target those areas. You can drill by type (weaken questions, grouping game, etc.) if you need to I prove on a certain area.
Kind of a tough concept to explain.

I highly recommend learning the material first, and then drilling 35 minute timed actual test sections and review! Drill by type at the beginning or if you don't have a full grasp of what a question is really asking for, but to improve you really need to be practicing with section work since this exactly what you're gonna be doing on the day of the test and you don't want to get habituated to being untimed or to being primed for certain kinds of questions.

Did the "Preptest C" LG today. They are incredibly difficult. In fact, the most difficult i have encountered so far. The difficultly is (in my opinion) predicated on finding a hidden inference

[+] Spoiler: especially game 4

I took my time with them (which amounted to an hour and 5 minutes, and still ended up -3. Anyone else try these?

I assume something to do with the score band LSAC gives you when you get your score back. We ignore it because it doesn't mean anything important.

Wait, NorCal or SoCal?

NorCal as in the Bay Area. As of this week though we're back in the 50s. Still, last week was insane!
