Going to go to the library and start photocopying a bunch of 15+ LR questions tomorrow.
I need to start photocopying RC too considering how much I scribble on passages / questions, but I still have to decide how to deal with the fact that they're two pages for a passage. (Staples? Giant paper? )

179 on PT 32. Positive reinforcement FTW! hopefully that'll lessen the blow on the, idk, 136 I'll get on an actual PT tomorrow. (I'm working on lowering my expectations here y'all) But still was -4 so ergh -> -2 on (new) RC section, (and timing was awful) -2 on LR where I'd seen a few of the questions.

I'm definitely going to start doing these PTs more often. I'm noticing I have an attention span of a fruit-fly, also tend to get nervous, etc. Hopefully with more practice that will subside. I might try things like shooting for 30 min a section on repeats or doing 6 sections, I dunno.

Nice Job, Alexandros! That is what I like to see

I love doing well, because it is definitely positive reinforcement to keep going

Did you time yourself for the 179? What do you mean "actual" pt tomorrow?

Yeah, but I'd seen many of the questions before. Actual PT, as in one where I haven't seen any of the questions.

Thanks!
Yeah. honestly enjoying RC drilling so much more now that I've started repeating sections, since my scores are so much higher

Worked yesterday then was forced to hangout with my SO, so no real prep. Ended up falling asleep on the couch at 9pm, I guess i'm getting old
Figured i could make up for it by getting up early and grinding away all morning in starbucks. Wish me luck.

Also, how much black coffee is too much black coffee?....Asking for a friend

Just had my first LSAT nightmare. Dreamt I slept through it.

During the June wait I had nightmares at the beginning and then they stopped and then got worse towards gray day.

It's never too much when you're talking about coffee.

[Mikey]

Starbucks flow, Pokemon go is down so I'm sad. PW of drink incoming unless the majority opposes.

[+] Spoiler

Iced Caramel Macchiato w/ extra caramel drizzle (doesn't look like it ) and an extra shot of espresso

[BlackCanary]

Did some LR drilling. Taking a break to yell at the pokemon go servers. They're the worst, but it's probably for the best.

Walked outside, got into the car, pulled out phone, turned on location services, opened pokemon go, got sad.

What's funny is that I dreamed I slept through the JUNE LSAT, and then I was like "OK it's fine now I just have to do well in September..." Haha

[20170322]

I was thinking today about all of the worst things that could happen to my score, and I thought of it.

The first presidential debate is scheduled for the night before the test. I am 100% sure I would say fuck my score and watch the debate. haha

Lmao, weird xD

Ugh, gotta start brainstorming for my PS soon... I have no clue what I'm going to write about, I'm not an interesting person, fml.

TRIPLE POST (I know, it's ok, I hate me too)


What's the sentiment about writing "Why X" statements for schools you have very few ties to? Like, I'm considering writing Why Cornell and Why Chicago with a subtext of "Please give me monies" but I have literally 0 ties to NYC/Cornell, and the only tie I have to Chicago is that my SO is from the midwest.

why a why Cornell? no one really writes those unless they are under the medians (I think). there's a section in their app that states "why do you want to attend cornell (2-3 sentences).

Oh. I was worried about YP/not getting monies (assuming the LSAT goes well).

Oh, that would be terrible, esp because of the time difference for me. It won't be on a Friday though, so I think we're safe.

hm I don't think Cornell YPs but I could be wrong.

So..... i just took pt 26 untimed. Didn't feel like i took too much time on any section and i seem to have a good pace on the test regardless, but still untimed.

175.
LG: -2
LR: -5 overall ( back to back sections)
RC: -1

Highest i've ever scored on a PT by 2 points. Really just needed to tell someone. Getting really excited to move on to timed 5 section PT's soon and really begin the grind.

LSAT is love, LSAT is life
