You took that when you were really tired right? Does it differ much from your last few PTs?
Eta sorry I was reading it on my phone and missed the tired part. But yeah if your BR is good then you may have just had a bad day. Be like tswift and shake it off
Yeah, I think that's the one where he took it at like 10 or 11pm...lol.
Don't worry. You have 6 weeks to fix it!

but I wasn't really too tired until the end bc of the energy boost... but no its around where I have been unfortunately

Yeah, but sometimes its hard to tell when your brain is tired. You can physically feel energetic but that doesn't mean your brain always works as well as it should. (Example: when you drink you don't always feel tired but your brain certainly doesn't work). Stress can also cause that. And my last PT was 165 so you're not alone.

Have any of you considered the PhD route instead of law? I'm wondering if it's short-sighted to not consider a few fully funded programs.

I have strongly considered it. And it is still a possibility, but I'm leaning against it.

But I'm also already graduating with my masters degree and I'm an engineering major so I'm not sure if my reasoning behind which I pursue is relevant to many people but if people are interested I can share.

Took PT 36 LR2 after a pho+boba lunch outing with some high school buddies.
23/26. Been a month since I've been under the pressure of section drilling but seems like the hiatus has proven beneficial.

Yes. I'm thinking PhD in Philosophy. Not instead of law, but potentially alongside it.

I suppose think tank work is possible but I have no idea how one goes about getting a job at one (aside from being a professor who's published material congruent with the tank's mission).

My problem with it is that I'm interested in the teaching side, not the research side. Apparently though, being a PhD is like 90% research.

I seriously wanted to apply to econ PhD, and was dead set on it up until the end of my 3rd year of undergrad. We actually had an entire route set up, and it was specific down to the classes and what year we ought to take them. I ended up taking lots of classes I had absolutely no interest in, and just really despised some of the math classes (and all of the upper-level econ classes were basically just math under a different name). I didn't have the requisite work ethic and natural skill, and dreaded the very idea of doing only research and teaching for the rest of my life, so I just completely dropped the endeavor completely.

Though PhD seems amazing for people who absolutely love the subject, and most of the people I know doing PhD seem incredibly happy (except during exam week).

Wanted to take a 30min power nap before doing RC. Ended up spending an hour and a half laying on bed listening to pandora and surfing reddit on my phone. Fuuuuuudddge. Can't wait until I can do that and not feel guilty afterwards after Feb.

Unrelated: is there any way for one to turn off auto lock indefinitely on the latest version of iOS without jailbreaking? I can't seem to get rid of my passcode lock and there doesn't seem to be an app equivalent to Caffeine for Mac. The 7sage proctor succumbs to the auto lock as well and I'm too lazy to get a physical watch. Help!

You need the physical watch for the LSAT anyway (this has legit screwed people who put it off)

Also, my 7sage doesn't seem to autolock?

I think you mean on an iphone? Go to settings--> general-->auto-lock and then choose never

I can't seem to keep up with this thread! Once I'm back at work and bored all day though I'll be more on top of it. I did my BP homework today for lesson 11. LR went horribly but I rocked LG and RC. LG was all combo games so I'm feeling super confident there. I can improve RC still but I'm not worried about it too much. I seriously need to drill LR though
