I don't know yr whole story, and I'm new on this board, but that would lead me to believe that there are bigger fish to fry for you right now than the LSAT and everything it indicates (ie, applications, school, etc) - you know? Take care of #1. The law will be there and this shit only snowballs if left to its own devices.

I've never seen a gas station with a shop that doesn't sell coffee, so I tend to think that they do.
I'm actually just gonna go to grocery store down the street and get a starbucks double shot
Oh god. I've been drinking too many of those lately. I don't even know why. I don't feel like they actually wake me up that much. I have a placebo like effect for maybe 15 minutes, then I just feel a little sick.
I got a venti cold-brew with a shot last week because I felt like I needed something stronger (I drink a lot of coffee/caffeine) and I was tweaking after half the cup.. lol

Mmm I see. I'm not really big on drinking tea. For some reason it just doesn't taste good to me, and I'd like to get into drinking it but I just can't for some reason.

Just did another PT. I thought I crushed both LR sections, but only did decent on one. Thought for sure that PT would be my first 170+. Instead, a 165. On the upside, I did much better with my pacing on AR which I'll attribute to following advice and going through a few of the previous AR sections in a row yesterday. Also reviewing some of the 7sage explanations on games that took me more time. Welp, time for review!

Starting BR for 64. I think I'm taking next Thursday-Monday off....I'm reaching that burnout/frustration point with getting ready for this to where it's bleeding over into my outside life.

I'm kind of skeptical that this isn't sold in Brooklyn somewhere? Is it not terribly overpriced? Is that why Brooklyn doesn't have it?

Finally finished pseudo-BR.

PT 64:
LR1: -1
LR exp: 0
LG: -4 lololol
LR2: -2
RC: 0
Raw:94
Scaled: 175

100/101 on the BR. (-1 LG for a dumb mistake on a question I got right originally.) Circled a few on LR and I'll go back and check but it looks to have been small mistakes.
The fourth game wasn't at all hard - If I had kept a cool head, split the game, and made an inferences or two, I should've been able to do it in the 5 min remaining.

Totally out of it today. Might still be sick. I was thinking about doing a PT tmrw but it'll prob be sunday instead.

Hope my 64 goes as well as this one. (It probably won't, though)

A bit baffled / amused that RC now seems to be my strong point. (I mean, not complaining, but what...)

Mark distribution for the last two PTs were extremely similar. Need to figure out how to not flip out during logic games. :roll:

I somehow went -3 on RC in Dec 2015 when I usually went like -7 on PTs, truly was a miracle.

Still on my way there, there was just a ridiculous amount of traffic in Staten Island. Decided to see what's up on here. If I go -0 on RC in September I would go to Vegas first and then church after to ask for forgiveness for the craziness that I have done those previous days.

I hear ya on that my friend. It is a hard test to do without motivation because the progress isn't always reflected in your PT's right away. Something I have found that works for me is just keeping the end in mind, basically all the time. I keep a picture of Harvard Law I took printed out above my desk. I also have a Yale shirt I got when I went there for a football game in fall 2014. Dumb little stuff can help....It isn't a magic fix, however.

Also, try to stay a social as possible. Even if it means just you force yourself to go walk around your local mall for an hour or two. It helps to clear your mind...
