Finished prep for the day, 1 section of each type. Did PT 11 LG and the random kinds of old games they throw out there do make me lol. Tried more of stem before stim for LR and I don't like it, read a stim wrong and I chose the wrong answer because of it, going back to stim then stem. As for RC, totally got my ass handed to me. PT 57 BTW. The third passage destroyed me, got -4 just there. Also, LSAC got way out of hand with one of the questions "If the author of passage A were to read passage B they would agree with..." Not only do I have to keep track of two author's opinions for comparative passages, but now they want me keep track of both, and think about how one would think after he read the second passage?? Went -8 overall which is pretty disheartening but I did go just -1 in BR so I'm at least counting that as a small win.

Yup...that's the nature of a lot of these comparative passages now. Some people do just fine whereas others have difficulty adjusting (like me) lol.

On break from PT 74. That last LG was brutal. I'm gonna have to look at that entire game during BR and may even have to go buy the videos to understand it. Please tell me actual December takers were as bewildered by that game as I was. I couldn't even figure out how to set it up, I could hardly even figure out the correlation of the rules to one another.

Game 3 felt alright, I thought it was lengthy but I did have to circle two questions to look at in BR

I went -6 in December. I always go -0 or -1.

I think the reason it was difficult for many people was because it didn't fit the standard in/out grouping schema. IIRC, it was in/out/out, in the sense that not all of the items had to be assigned to the two groups. But if you realized that from the start, and set it up that way, it wasn't too much of a hurdle.

Pretty sure it was an in/out/in.

I dread RC day...

15 LR questions, 2 games, and 3 sections of the "Most Difficult Passages" followed by a ton of review.

Post removed...

[Smallville]

Is there a thread or something we can talk about whatever we want? I've had to resort to steeping in my LSAT-induced melancholy alone while listening to my Lana Del Rey playlist since "No Fun Allowed" was implemented.

always the lounge if you dare

[Shakawkaw]

Do people mind if we discuss PT74 or would you rather us not?

I'd rather you didn't.

My campus wifi is REALLY slow. Would someone please do me a favor and find that one link someone posted like 10-15 pages back about an RC guide? I'd love to read it before I dive into the passages. TYIA

Thanks!

[brusselsprouts]

Wow thank you all for pointing out that sale!! I haven't taken advantage of 7sage at all because I'm working through all of BP's material but it's such an amazing resource.

On break from PT 65.
Almost called off the PT since I didn't get to sleep much...but figured this would be good practice for testing in various conditions.
