Hell no. They're in my grandma's guest room in San Diego. Not sure when I'll go back for them, if ever. I have pdf's for most stuff thankfully.

Just realized I have the 2015 LSAT Trainer edition, not the 2016. Anyone know if there's much a difference?

Just drilled RC 55 and got trucked for a -10.

I did not use any of my strategies (pause after reading, minimal notations, emphasis on structure) until the 4th passage. I got a -1 on that passage.

I guess drilling is to reinforce the proper habits :D .

Will review after work.

Also, not a fan of Chinese Talk Story.

Retaking this September. I will begin to study today using LSAT Trainer. Wish me good luck.

If law school doesn't work out, I plan to apply to Higher Education/Student Affairs masters or to my local MBA program .

Thank you!

I finished the Trainer's LR sections and am now on Manhattan's LR. Manhattan places greater emphasis on negating Necessary Assumption answer choices than did the Trainer. How often do you guys use the negation technique when doing NA questions? I've found I incorrectly negate sometimes so I'm reconsidering using the technique at all; it just seems to sidetrack me more than anything.

I never use it, but I guess it depends on how good you are reasoning out the answer choices.

Someone mentioned an actual LSAT Trainer thread earlier, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a link? Thanks!

Reviewed RC Passage 3 from PT 52 - finished it on time and didn't miss a question.

Drilled RC 56 and finished it with 2 minutes left. Only missed 3 questions (all easy upon review).

8) .

Planning to retake in September. My first attempt was a 160, and am now shooting for 170 or better. If I'm not averaging my desired score on practice tests, I may delay until December after careful consideration.

In the process of buying all the necessary materials, and coming up with the best study plan with the help of the guides on this site.

Will likely start going through materials later this week or early next week. It depends on how soon they all arrive.
