Taking my 15 in the middle of PT62, just finished up LG. It absolutely wrecked me. I have no idea why. Not looking forward to scoring this one.

I took 62 yesterday, the LG REALLY tested your inference making skills.

Welp
PT40
LG:-3

All 3 are from the last game. I actually got all of the airplane ones right, that shit was easy af, the setup kind of took me a while to think about though. I can't believe I got 3 wrong on an in out game, smfh I'm disappointed in myself.

Eta: just went over the 3 I got wrong and LOL they were so damn easy and now I feel like an idiot. I don't understand how I didn't see these extremely simple inferences before. Lul -3

Still not prepping adequately. Ugh, it would've been way better to take this test in mid July.

Yeah, games 2 and 3 especially. Managed an eleventh hour inference on game 2 to salvage most of it, but no time to do anything close to adequate on game 3. I missed 4 of the 5 questions on that game.

I experiment with different amounts, basically between busy and quiet sections of the library. Doesn't seem to have much effect on my score. I'm either in the zone or i'm not.

Ah - sorry. That sucks to have LG knock you down like that. Solid LR performance though.

I don't understand how I forgot how Ice Cube is such a good lyricist. Will be on an Ice Cube and early 90s rap kick for the next few days. Library closes at 4:00PM today (SAD!), so time to buckle down.

it's still great that you get a 169 when you flop on a test! apparently this was a tough test because the curve is -13! currently finishing up BR for RC before I score it.

I'm similar, but I get thrown off by audible conversation. That makes it hard for me to focus. Keys clacking, coughs, cars, one off sounds or background sounds, etc. don't bother me, but sporadic conversations just totally wreck my focus.

I was doing my last PT during RC and some random dude just starting have a conversation at full volume.

PT 65:

Score 173

LR -0
LG -1
RC -7 (sigh) :cry:
LG -0 (experimental)
LR -2

that was a hard RC section (5/5) and I got wrecked by the last passage, only got 3/7 right on it.

I thank a solid week of LR prep for that. (at the expense of LG and RC, clearly). Amazing how that works.

Just met a woman who freaked me the fuck out at Starbucks. She first asked me if I could help her set up her new laptop to the wifi, I said sure. She had just bought the laptop from the Best Buy across the street. Then she asked me if I could help her download YouTube videos and put them on her usb,because she didn't know how, I said sure. She downloads a shit ton of conspiracy videos on martial law and other shit. Then she's like "since you're helping me, I'll help you. Get out of America, you don't need this place, depopulation is going to happen soon. This is real" and a whole bunch of other shit. Bitch freaked me out not because of the whole conspiracy stuff, because I know my fair share of conspiracys, but because she herself was just a creepy person. Apparently she is going to take her kids and flee the U.S. I left as soon as I could, she was weird af

Also, when she was downloading videos, she kept getting a flash player update and she was bugging out because she said that they were tracking her since she has bought that laptop moments before, just to go
To the Starbucks and use their wifi instead of going home to not get "tracked".

She asked me what I was studying for and I said the LSAT. She said to go take it out of the country if I could because there will be no more law schools soon or some shit. Lul

Not sure about you, but I always prep with a tin foil hat on. I don't want LSAC reading my mind.

I feel like a -4 on LG is inexcusable with a -0RC; -2LR... get on that haha.

The good news is that you are very much in the running for a 180 with that type of score on RC and LR.

I haven't done any specific LG prep yet, I've just brute-forced around 20 PTs. Going to start learning how to make my charts and stuff soon, until now I've been going in blind. Hoping that I can make that a consistent -0 pretty soon.

That's why you double down dude. Find some other conspiracy stuff to show her. In the process, you realize you have discovered your paramore, and you move to the islands to live an island life away from the downfall of the US. Unfortunately, you live in a self-sustaining bunker, so you don't get to enjoy the weather or island life. You might as well be in Missouri (pun intended).
