I'm definitely not postponing either as its not really an option for me. Anyone down to be my LSAT buddy and hold me accountable???? (RIGO???) I say you Rigo because I've honestly never seen a more dedicated person to the LSAT

Sorry to let you down, but I'm not taking or studying for June because I'm starting a new job and will need to focus on that.
I just hang around here out of habit.

I feel like I just found out my role model was a hooker hiring coke-head

Just kidding Rigo congrats on the new job and if you ever remember to send me a ......"GET YOUR A$$ in gear" message I'd really appreciate it!

[Rigo]

Get your ass in gear TODAY, you lazy bum!

[ChoboPie]

I'll be 100% taking in June as well.

OP abandoned us.

For what, the 6th or 7th time?

This time he's "for real!"

longhorn65, are you a KJD? UT is my undergrad institution!

[jumbocolumbo]

Checking in (a little late). Confirmed for June. I've been studying since mid January. PT'ing around high 160's lately.
Currently drilling LR by type. Do you guys have any recommendations for doing this? I'm essentially just going straight through them without any time constraints (although I admittedly just started on Sunday).
Would some type of time constaint be helpful? Or would it be kind of arbitrary since the amount of time needed for each Q varies and they are arranged in order of ascending difficulty?
Any advice would be helpful

Edit: In retrospect I am not sure I posted this in the right place.

Congrats on taking the plunge! Personally, I'm a big proponent of untimed drilling, though others may disagree. I think you should be pushing the pace and aiming to solve questions more quickly and efficiently as you work your way through the packets, but I don't recommend placing any artificial time constraints on yourself during drills. The object of drilling is to practice perfect process and internalize patterns. If you're racing the clock, you are more likely to cut corners, skim, not read all answer choices, etc. -- the stuff that makes for bad habits and, ultimately, bad or inconsistent scores.

Thanks Ben! That answer reinforces my hope that these drills will really fine-tune my LR performance. I appreciate the swift response!

I made my way through the LSAT Trainer and decided to revisit the June 2007 test under test-like conditions (went to the college library). Scored a 171 (93 Raw) and felt really comfortable/confident with everything. I felt good about timing on individual sections, eliminated wrong answer choices, and felt good about putting everything into practice from the Trainer.

I'll definitely need to work on my RC section, but other than that, I feel like I'm in a good place to now pivot to more drilling and PTing.

eta: only checking in to "see" rigo...sup

[Rigo]

Well you sure failed the TLS cleanse you proclaimed to be on this morning.

As i said I'm sacrificing my time off just to be in your presence ...

eta: is there already a June re-taker's thread??

[Rigo]

is there already a June re-taker's thread??

Yeah. Both threads are pretty dead though.

[justabitunusual]

Yeah. Both threads are pretty dead though.

you know that phrase curses thread life...but I guess it was inevitable

**remembers the days when you had to hit submit 6 times to get a word in edgewise #thegoodoledays**

[Rigo]

Yeah. Both threads are pretty dead though.

you know that phrase curses thread life...but I guess it was inevitable

People are just resting before the final push.
And since I'm no longer taking, I don't really care about keeping the thread going.
I'm here for YOU though.

[justabitunusual]

I'm here for YOU though.

NO, I'm here for YOU... interventionism at its best worst... but you are such a good coach / motivation to takers and re-takers alike, so I can't really pull you away from your sanctuary w/o feeling a pang of remorse, so carry on in the shadows batmanigo

[Rigo]

I leave in a little over 3 weeks.
It's so weird not having LSAT plans for the foreseeable future when it was such a big part of my life for so long.

[justabitunusual]

yeah it's kinda like when you first graduate from college, and you're like...wait i don't have to study?? You're in a paradigm shift...but you will be studying while you're gone tho right? at least you might think ab it?

[Rigo]

but you will be studying while you're gone tho right?

Nope. Gonna try just living life in the moment without worrying about studying. It will be good for me. This obsessive planner needs to learn to be a bit more of a free spirit.

[justabitunusual]

Wow, that is a BIG step...#proud

(lolz at us having a one-on-one convo in a tls thread)

[Rigo]

Sup lurkers.
