I'd be happy to help you out with some if you want

Oh - I appreciate it! It's more fatigue at this point than being challenged! Apparently, I was lacking confidence for no real reason. I'm currently sitting at 68/70 correct.

I'll post one if I find one particularly challenging... I have one thing I want to check...I eliminated an answer because it seemed to have flawed reasoning (part to whole), so I'm trying to make sure that's why it was wrong.

Ayy that's pretty good! I'm about to work on some "Miscellaneous" LR questions on 7sage. They include ones that have a dialogue between 2 people and 1 of them misinterprets a word or something and you have to figure out which word, or the "most logically completes" questions, which for some reason I freaking SUCK at. I suck at evaluate and MLC questions because I haven't done them much. Whenever I run across one on an LR section, even if I'm 100% certain that I got the question right at the moment of doing it, I still review it afterwards very deep since I've barely had much experience with them.

This weekend has been fantastically unproductive. I dunno if I even have the energy for more netflix rn.

Pump-up song: Fake Empire - The National

I'm an aughts' indie kid, what can I say...

Dude, the National is the most demotivating music on the planet.
I'm pretty sure I've spend days of my life just streaming them, staring at the ceiling.

Hahaha. Something about that gravelly baritone and existential angst gets me psyched up.

"I still remember the look on your face when you left me on that December day in Connecticut five years ago. I dream about you every time it snows. I thought I saw you in a shop window last Saturday, but it was a hollow, plastic mannequin. Hollow and plastic as every passing day in this cruel world. Mother and I don't speak anymore. My dog died last June. The LSAT is all I have left."

[Mikey]

So a summary of today

PT 40
LG: -3 (34:11)
LR: -6 (forgot the time but it was roughly 2 mins early--this was the 2nd LR set of the PT not the first)--> also did BR for it
LG: redid this set for a -0 (27:03)

Just did some random RC passage from 7sage's curriculum: 7/8

Yep, that's about right.

That really sucks that you had that experience. She sounds creepy/nutty..

yeah haha. i'm kind of scared to go back and sit at that starbucks now because i feel like she is going to come up to me and say hi if she is there again. i pretended to be nice to her and continue to help her with understanding how to do simple shit like copy and paste, but yeah. at first, honestly i thought she was fucking with me but her laptop was brand new and i saw her open it, and she said she was using it to download the videos and then was going to return it afterwards so that she wouldn't get tracked.. lol i was just like ooookkkkkkk

creeeeepy. yeah I'd avoid that Starbucks/find a different one!

cute doggies, replace them with kittens/cats and this is me post LSAT.

[ngogirl12]

So, I took a break from the LSAT and went to Baskin Robbins. They have this flavor called Trio-de-Janeiro it's three sorbets, blueberry-kiwi-lemon. I got it because a) I love sorbet and b) in honor of the Olympics.

Speaking of the Olympics, did anyone watch the gymnastics? Still watching it (the Olympics) vicariously through snapchat lmao. Simone Biles was incredible! So impressive!! Also, loved the Danish guys singing along to the Backstreet Boys while cycling, loved it!! And that Hungarian girl that just well outdid all the female swimmers. Wow, just wow.

OK to sum up my work for today:

Made copies of LG. Watched the videos and drilled. The games that I drilled today were pretty easy to figure out (grouping where you have three categories and you have to place them in different slots or figure out inferences and hypotheticals). On of the games I went -1 on I have drilled 3x already, but I didn't understand a key inference JY made so I rewatched the video, its the organisms responding to the bacterias one. Even though this chapter is grouping games mixed up with sequencing, I feel I am gaining from it. I feel that these games are easier than other ones, the difficulty for these are (1-4), BUT I have read posts from people on 7Sage saying what got them to -0 on the newer games was drilling the hell out of the older ones. So, drillmaster here I come! Plus, this is the fun part of LSAT prep lol.

I find myself disabling flux so often that I might as well uninstall it... at the very least, I need to make it get dark later.

95/100 resolve discrepancy questions. Out of the missed 3 in the harder 30, one was stupid. One I really just don't get Jun 96 LR1 #5. Maybe I'm over thinking it. I dunno. The final one was I just had this predetermined answer in my head and one answer choice conformed really closely to it. I think I just misread the stimulus/was eager to be done.

Either way, 95% accuracy on a question type isn't too bad.

Anywho, as one could expect, all I did today was basically the 100 LR questions. I have to check out the explanations for the last 10 available and submit a support ticket or two. Going to go grab dinner now.

[Alexandros]

Not sure how long this break is going to last but, given that I've gone from 'kind of sick I think' to Definitely Sick, it might need to be 3+ days instead of just the weekend... I guess I'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow.

[appind]

Destroyed by 37 lg today.

-4 in 35 min

I really should warm up before timed sections. it didn't help that it was my only lsat related activity in the last 10 or so days.

a lot, but just remember something like this will be easy to resell

[StopLawying]

$65 for an LSAT watch that you can always resell is a good investment. The watch looks super cool and more durable than the 180 watch.

Just did some random RC passage from 7sage's curriculum: 7/8

When you do the 7Sage RC sections/drills do you print them out, or just do it on your laptop? I'm wondering how to approach it?
