sounds ~~awful~~ super fun
but I should definitely be doing that since my RC still sucks

I'm not looking forward to it, but it is necessary. I'm drilling 3 hours of a section every day, rotating the sections that I do every day, for the next 3 months. At this point I'm 99.9% sure I'm postponing to October.

I think it's the best news and cultural criticism site available now. The NY Times is too hardcore, the New Yorker is too bourgeois, the Atlantic turned into SJW clickbait... it's the only one left.

Answer my question, RZnumbers.

I do as well. There isn't a better news magazine imo.

The Onion would like to have a word with you.

You should read the articles you're interested in and then recycle. The political stuff may be outdated but I'm sure you'll find some things you'll like.

Nah. I like the Economist. I prefer Foreign Policy by a wide margin, though. And Int'l Crisis Group beats both, but has a different purpose.

Just did a timed RC section. Nothing more frustrating than realizing you changed THREE right answers to wrong answers.

I've had this habit since I was young. Obviously some underlying test-taking confidence issues there

Slowly going through the LGB again but finding food and shelter is taking up most of my free time.

Welcome. Just post questions, blog your progress, and/or come here to relax and bond with others in the same situation. It's really whatever you make of it.

First of all, there's almost no actual studying (not that I didn't try though). This thread is more for entertainment and moral support.

I'm the OP and shall always be addressed as "Dear Leader."

"Deer leader" will earn you instant good will from others though. Take your pick. Your TLS social life depends on it.

I'm surprised how vibrant this group is

what magazines/books do you guys read in preparation for RC besides the Economist?

I don't read anything specifically for LSAT prep but I think everyday reading is helpful. Many students don't read anything longer or more complex than a tweet or buzzfeed listicle, so just reading the newspaper or random novels puts you ahead of a lot of test takers.
