Wait a sec, no one likes Scholarly, Rigo is happy LSATneurotic got permabanned, and I was grouped in with them... No one likes me either

LSATneurotic and Scholarly were assholes, you aren't. What you 3 (and LLH) have in common is an obsession with talking about your obsession with the LSAT. So if you all were in a room, well, it would be funny.

Well first he asked to be banned probably because he did poorly on his retake and nobody liked him, so mods banned him.
But then he alted a day later and made dumb posts so the mods perma'd.
All very silly.

Sounds like me in middle school on the Run Escape forums.

lyin down in the feels. (we all know dat feelin). I somehow talked myself up and told myself I was gonna increase significantly to my target score. I even decided my new study method.

So my last attempt (2nd) I neglected LG too much leading up to it because I usually go perfect. NOT ANYMORE. I know it was a freak section in december, but I'm not takin the risk.
I'll take 4 PT's a week. No days off (only got a month left. I feel burnout is overrated. Balls to the wall ppl)
The week will look like this:
1)PT, break, blind review, go over wrong answers
2) LG day: 2 passages, 15 LR questions, and the rest dedicated to random LG sections. I'll try to hit 4 or 5 including individual, 7 minute timed games. This is my bread and butter, and on both real tests I've missed more than one. I don't want to leave any freakin doubt this time.
3)same as day 1
4) LR day: 2 games, 2 passages, Completing my "Most Difficult LR Questions" packet with 7sage to help. I'll circle different questions in different colors (SA in red, parallel in blue, etc) and probably drill by question type. I'm averaging -4 a section now. I wanna get it down to a confident 3 and 2 on a good day before the test
5) same as day 1
6) RC day...dreading this. DREADING IT. 2 games, 15 LR questions, and RC RC RC. Someone mentioned a "sticky notes" method that I thought was pretty cool, so I'll probably try it. At first, I'll experiment with reading passages longer (3-4 minutes) vs short (1:45, my norm) to see what works more. During my PT today, I went -4 (good, for me at least) by taking my time. It was a good feeling. Its such a wild card with RC, because for whatever reason I miss much more on test day than PT day. However, test #2 was better than test #1 and if that continues I'll be in good shape.
7) PT again.

*wish I had a laser printer*

My next day off will be the friday before test day. I'll just work out that day, drive up to the TC, and get an early night's sleep at the hotel.

Yolo guys. 29 days

Question- do you guys think it's better to reuse material from PTs 20-40 for drilling or get the drilling packets for PTs 1-20, which I haven't seen yet?

This is why I don't want to go to a library, while I do acknowledge that on game day conditions will be different than sitting at your desk at home, I highly doubt the test center will allow for people to be talking...

There was construction outside my sept test center, didn't even really notice it until I overheard people complaining about it. Would not kill you to take a test in the lib

Yeah, def recommend PT'ing in different places. I took like 4 proctored PT's (from BP class) in the fall and in at least 2 instances, I've had some classmates come in 5 mins late/get up for the bathroom) and an instance where there was a Church service/people talking outside.

Personally, I do fine with background talking but the thing that gets me are non conversational disturbances like doors opening/closing, cars honking outside, construction kinda thing. I'm just weird.

Is there anyway I can get just the logic games sections of various preptests so I can drill them?

I've been PTing in Starbucks the last couple times - makes no difference to me. I don't feel like I have enough of my brain available to notice distractions while I'm testing.
