PT 40 Notes:
Took this while recovering from a cold. Felt fine the first 2 sections but all of sudden started feeling congested (think stuffy nose/constant sniffles) during Section 3 & 4.

LR1: 23/25
LG: 23/23 (my first perfect LG ever! Although I'll have to say this LG appeared to be easier than normal. )
LR2: 21/26
RC: 21/27
For a lovely score of 169!

Haha LG does tend to feel easier when you get them all right, congrats!

Now stop going -6 on RC

Just something I noticed when I did the 40s LG and RC as individual sections last month: In the 40s there was this strikingly consistent trend of super tough RC and super easy LG. It's even reflected in the number of questions per section. For many of the tests in the 40s, RC went up to 28 questions, while LG went down to 22. It definitely seemed like a conscious effort by the test writers to shift the difficulty towards RC and away from LG. That trend was short lived.

I just finished PT 38 and on Monday I'm jumping into the 50s. Do any particular sections get harder or easier up there? I heard LGs got easier with time. Maybe RC did too? *crosses fingers*

Well the curves stop being -10 and the LGs stop coming out of left field. I've never really noticed too much of a difference in RC difficulty, except from PT 68+

Don't get so hung up on the scaled score, focus on your BR. We've got over a month to perfect our timed score to match our BR score. Do you not BR RC or LG?

I don't BR RC (really don't think it does anything), and for LG I watch the videos and retake bad sections at the end of the week.

it depends on what Im doing, sometimes I will reread the passages and go over the answers nice and slowly but other times Ill just check explanations of the answers and see where everything comes from...
LG i like to see if I can catch the mistakes, since they're normally silly ones, but this game wasn't fun

Took PT60 today and ended up with a 162. Pissed that I made careless errors but I picked up on them during the BR, scoring much higher the second time around. Took an eraser to the entire test and plan to take it again a little less than two weeks from now with 32 min sections. Entering the 10th hour of studying/review

I think its about that day that I try to go to sleep at a reasonable time. Waking up at 12-1pm just isnt doing it for me.

Going to watch some ball and half ass some LG review, and try to get to bed by 11:30.

[Big Red]

Sup fellow 2019ers. You better have strong numbers next cycle so we can OP T13 threads.

Geez. I'm been going on and off the entire day - probably 2-3 good hours. Going to bump it up tomorrow.

Respect the dedication. I need to see these things to motivate myself because I am at a point where I'm so sick of this shit.

yeah I planned on going hard today but then relaxed a little after my PT and got into a 2 hr 20 min movie though I will atlas finish my BR which is normally a multi day thing so thats a + I didn't get a chance to print stuff out at work so got limited printed stuff so might look for an untouched PT (untouched as in I prob did it but it wasn't done in my 10 actual PT books) and do it

Thankfully most of the time was well spent but there were definitely some prolonged (and necessary) Vine/trivia crack distractions

Not looking forward to that game then. :/

Damn, thats a tough call. Maybe take some sections to drill? But yea, its gonna be a rough month. With a month out, I feel guilty whenever I'm doing something not Lsat related. Oh well, guess I'll just binge on LSAT because im definitely not trying to take this test again if I can help it.

I highly recommend to always have a large quantity of IPA/lager/amber/stout closeby, so you can always take a long drink whenever you hear a JY "do you see?" in any 7Sage video.

yeah, I feel the same, and I could but I know I realistically wouldn't do much. It'd be a friday and saturday coming back sunday so I would prob only have half a day sunday if I'm lucky and ill probably be exhausted... and I don't really wanna drink which there will be an abundance of I'm sure
