-11 means it should be an average test of difficulty.

haha ya, but if you look most of the tests within the past like 8 years or so have been AT LEAST -11. There's only been one or two exceptions, so its safe to assume it wont be any worse! Prepare for the worst and reality is much easier to take

I kind of just instinctively think of the curve as -10. I can get 6 wrong for 174. 7 for 173.

Usually go -0 literally all the time and I missed freakin 4. Did slightly below average on RC as well. I'm not THAT bad though, so if anyone needs any help please ask

If anyone is wondering, this month I'm going overload. I'm not worried about burn out (seems a tad bit overrated to me, just take a day off the day before the test and you'll be fine). I'm gonna take 4-5 PT's a week in the morning (each section timed at 32 min, LG timed at 30. All using LSAC bubble sheets), go to the gym, get lunch, followed by one more section of RC and then blind review. Starting over in the 20's. The week before the test, I'll do 72 Sunday, 73 Tuesday, and 74 Thursday with my day off Friday.

EDIT: Not that anyone IS wondering though..im sure everyones just fine lol

edit again: but yes, I do like baseball.

your relationship to the LSAT reminds me of a guy who just wants to get out of prison, until he realizes he cant survive on the outside anymore, so he does whatever he can to get back in.

but seriously, good luck!

are you in this too? We've been in every study thread! And ya its sorta like that. The withdrawals from not studying it have driven me mad....

Guys, at first, the LSAT is a bitch to study for. You see a ton of stupid mistakes and don't see yourself making any leeway. But, as you get better and notice patterns, it gets easier to study for. I swear to jesus tapdancing christ it does. And you look like a baller cuz you get 92/101 questions right on one of the hardest written tests there is

I really wish they offered practice proctored exams sometime soon... If I were someone who had not taken the LSAT one time yet, I would do this first without a doubt. It gives you at least SOME simulation of the environment. If I could go back in time I would've deferred my LSAT and done one or two of these

I really don't think this is true at all.

Schmelling and I are like the alumns that still hang around campus all the time and never move on.

There arent too many tests nowadays that arent fact based. You can only study the trends and develop strategies on how to answer them. I think it is, although its also one of the most learnable tests. Your results are directly associated with the work you put in, although that work is very hard.

Zac, I just used your method for the RC section. How in the world did you finish the entire section in an hour? That took me wayy too long - RC review is such a bitch.

But i ended up with a -4. A lot better than my recent -6s :] We reached our goal on the first day!! Hope this continues

Did PT 62 tonight - five sections timed (added LG from PT 51). i got killed on LG and don't feel good about the score overall. will BR for the first time ever on this one, but not until tomorrow - it's too late now.

i'm jealous of the time most of you have for studying. i work full time and can barely squeeze it in. i'll post my score when i know it. goodnight folks!

How many posts until one is considered a mega poaster?

Alternatively, how many PPDs?

I actually really recommend doing consecutive PT days at least a few times to see how your brain responds to it. Personally, I found that I would score consistently higher on the second day, which led me to conclude that I shouldn't take the Friday off before the test. I drilled a ton on December 5th, and it really got me into the right head space for test day. So try it out, and see how you feel. It really can't hurt! (I mean, maybe a headache or two, but you know what I mean.)

Happy studying, friends!

I am going to do this. Thank you SO much for your advice!!

Sfogs, I can definitely tell you that GT is very happy that someone responded to his post. He was a sad 99th percentiler last night.

Wait. I mean

ETA: Tonight, GT will be recording himself doing a video explanation of a LR question. I will be live blogging ITT and taking requests from the audience.
