Lots of study schedules basically say the last mont or so should be full timed PT only, and [blind] review after... Anyone doing this?

yeah I'm planning on doing minimum 5-6 PTs a week over the next 4 weeks and BRing the shit outta them afterwards

That's way too many. It should be 3 or 4 a week MAX.

I got literally zero other time commitments in my life besides a few hours of tutoring for week, I don't work. Don't get why I can't take a practice test once a day or so while taking the occasional day off. I already burned through the first 20 for drilling purposes over Sept to Nov. and have done up to PT 35 as of today

Shit I woke up and it was January 2nd?! I thought yesterday was like the 30th?

1) San Francisco is a hell of a town.

2) I made friends with a guy that is going to be on the next Bachelorette, so I got that going for me, which is nice. And either way, most people are not willing to argue with you even if you just make that up, and will most likely be the best way to crash a private new years eve party with the open bar where you can then drink at least $100 worth liquor before you throw up.

3) Apparently girls love it if you tell them they remind you of Zooey Deschanel, not sure how I thought of that. But it works

And I drove from SF to LA in 5 hours which I would challenge anybody to beat. Being hungover is good for long drives because you never have to pee. And holy shit, it's January 2nd? WTF happened?

Wait you took 1-35 as full length PTs?

Ahh k was going to say... bold strategy, Cotten. So you're out of drilling material?

I would guess San Diego would probably fall in most people's top 3s. I knew a very successful pimp in South Central named Big Red, so maybe we're looking at what makes a top 4 city in CA incorrectly

Got wrecked pretty badly in RC today. Motivation was high coming out of that Dec thread, but morale is not in a good state right now lol

Haha, I spent 4 years in Irvine as a teenager.. couldn't wait to get the F out!

ETA = BTW if you're not putting a size limit on it, I could name probably 50 cities in CA that are better than LA and Irvine. Newport, Laguna, San Clemente, Carlsbad, Fullerton, Encinitas, La Jolla.

Although, the San Fernando Valley is so beautiful this time of year.

Bad RC days happen - usually best to just shrug it off and move on.

Lulz at Irvine

You forgot Riverside, San Bernardino, and wonderful Corona!

Checking in. Bummed about my December score. It was my second LSAT attempt, but it was better than my first. I absolutely know I can do better so I'm not going to settle and take it again in February. Slightly concerned about my dwindling amount of study materials but I think I came up with a plan/schedule that will work:

I took most of 62-71 PTs over the summer while half-ass prepping for the September LSAT and 52-61 PTs while studying hard for the December exam, so I'm going to retake the 62-71 PTs (two a week leading up to February) and drill using sections from the PTs 1-30 in addition to sorted questions by type from the TestMasters book. I'm also going to take an eraser to the 52-61 PTs and drill sections individually followed by careful review. I think that will still be beneficial even though I've taken those tests before.

One thing that I'm going to reinforce in my studying this month is strict blind reviewing and thorough analyses of every PT and practice section. I did review before, but I don't think as well as I should have been doing. I didn't even blind review. I don't have any classes or a part time job to hold down until January 26th, so I'm going to be dedicating a lot of time to making my 3rd LSAT attempt the one. Of course any suggestions would be appreciated.

Wishing all re-takers and first timers the best of luck in their prep!

haha. Not gonna lie. I'm a hardcore suburb guy and despise city living. Currently chilling in Fullerton.
Grew up in the suburbs and being able to actually drive up to the place where I'm going (i.e restaurant, shopping center, etc)

are you applying this cycle, out of curiosity?

if so, how helpful do you think a Feb score might be?
