GT- the only reason I hesitate to overload is because a few weeks ago I took a four section timed PT back to back for six days, and the constant practice helped so much, I went from scoring a 154 on day 1 to a 174 on day 6. (Both scores were outlier but STILL it was a huge jump). Then the following week I figured I'd try again (after one day off), and I went down by 3 or 4 points each day, and stopped after day 3 when I scored a 163. Even though I didn't feel burnt out I assumed that was the oily explanation. That's why I take it easier now. But I would love to drill back to back day and day, (maybe not 6 days in a row again though, lol). Do you think I should try it more strenuously again?

Which tests were you taking? The eras matter.

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.

What Shak means to say is that she will be drinking lots of gin and making faces at me while I nerd out on an audition tape.

(segz tape)

Bolded and sized for narcissistic purposes.

And no, I barely got out of your bed this morning. Especially with the snow.

1. You guys are cute.

2. GT is not allowed to have a single unhappy moment this year what with that 99.9th.

The week that my scores rose I did PT 44, 45, Superprep B, Superprep C, PT 29, and then PT 30, then I took a break day and the week that my scores started to decline I did PT 31, then 32, then 33.

OH THE SUPERTESTS! I haven't taken those!!!

Yes new material!

ETA: The one time that I scored a 178 I had just binge-watched "The Good Wife" the entire day before, after having studied every day for maybe two months.

It's super cold. It would be a perfect day to curl up and study for the LSAT, but nahhhhh.

How cold is it where you are?

I am not used to your new avatar, and I keep accidently scrolling past everything you say.

Okay I'm at 14 Fahrenheit, but feels like 5.
I just need to get through January and then I will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Winter in California didn't last long...supposed to be 82 today...

Are you kidding? February and early March are always colder than January!

Good thing you're escaping that for DC weather, grey.

Yeah, you were definitely burnt out. 6 days in a row is WAY too much, imo. PTs take a lot out of you, as you know. You probably needed more than one day off to recover from that. If you want to test your endurance, do two really intense days in a row (e.g., my signature consecutive 8 section back-to-back PT weekend extravaganza), and then take a rest day, followed by a day of light drilling and review. You should be ramping up the intensity in thresholds. Be strategic about it, use your rest periods, and hit it again as soon as you feel fresh.

Shak still at you

Whenever the ice covered sidewalks and biting winds become too much, I just remind myself that it's my last winter in this barren arctic hellscape.

Got a fee waiver for GULC yestehday so I'm gonna toss one up, thought of you when it came. Congrats again!

Uuhhh say what now?

It is a universal truth that a woman in want of a private car will freeze to fucking death in February in New York.

Seriously, I had no idea just how cold winter really got until I moved here. Commuting in NYC is Dante's 9th circle of hell. He based it on his commute from Brooklyn to work in Manhattan every day.

seconded. February is definitely the most brutal month here. It regularly gets down to -22F.

Hey if we start counting windchill then I retract my 10 degrees F from before
