So, you never drilled? Or if you did drill, you timed it?

Just got done with some LR.

10/10 Role
17/20 Flaw
8/10 Parallel/Parallel Flaw

Going to try to do most, if not all of 6 grouping games and 6 RC passages left in my hw today.

I think that's what they mean by a 6-section PT, no?

NOOO!

I'm sorry if you took what I said to mean I was against drilling. I just meant the term "untimed PT" is really dumb, as it is just drilling, and not the best way to drill, since hours pass before you go back to review what you did in the first section.

Drilling is so much more important than PTing.

I drilled untimed almost always. Except when I would drill logic games, and sometimes RC, in timed drilling I would time up instead of count down, I had timing issues on LG/RC that needed work in the last month, the first six weeks I drilled LG and RC pretty much completely untimed.

Thanks for the response, schmell.

Again, it depends on what type of test taker you are. Standardized tests don't bother me at all. You could be tearing the building down around me and it wouldn't rattle me. I regularly did homework while in a giant crowd with tons of conversations going on around me, music playing, cows making noises etc. I don't get fatigued by long tests. I am not saying that this would work for everyone, or even anyone else for that matter, but it does work just fine for me.

I don't see the point in making your PTs vary from actual tests in any way if you can control it, but I can only offer my advice. in the end its up to the individual.

It saves time and sections for PTs and drilling.

I drill LR and time up instead of count down for LG, too! TWINSSS!!!!!

Stupid question... do I need to physically go to the bursar's office on my campus to get them to mail my transcripts with that LSAC CAS paper thing? =\

Yea, but not going to lie, kind of wish I didn't spend my time catching up on the thread and reading so much negativity.

In a change of pace, has anyone ever attended a law school information session with the deans of admissions from different schools? Stanford, Duke, NYU, and Cornell are hosting one here in Atlanta and I have no clue what to expect. Regardless, I'm excited to get any insight onto admission into the schools as they are all on the top of my list (especially Cornell!)

Anyone attending this in Palo alto in a few hours?

What can one expect?
