BP Ben I have a major credit card. Or if you accept venmo that'll be faster

I've always wondered if anyone claims to have a minor credit card, and what exactly that means?

I think it just means the major carries, right? Ex. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc.

Just in case the PMs start piling up in my inbox, I should be clear that I'm not actually offering Mike Ross-style LSAT services.

Carry on.

A Diners Club card.

[Rigo]

He is offering other "services" though.

Yeah - I had a Discover card in UG because I was a student and wanted to build up my credit. The Burger King next to my office didn't accept it. So I stopped eating Burger King. TY DISCOVER GAWDZ.

Also, since when did TLS become a dating service?

I am in week 5 of the 12 week Trainer curriculum (supplementing the LGB for those lessons bc I prefer it). I just took my first PT, and it was abysmal to say the least. I got a 148. Embarrassing, I know.

Is this a fair representation of what I can expect? Meaning, can I really improve THAT much? I am feeling quite defeated right now.

I know it's my first one, and I've only been studying a few weeks.. I'm trying to stay positive.

Yes. You can improve THAT much. You could get a 180. It just depends on how much work you're willing to do.

Don't worry! A low diagnostic is not a death sentence. People on this site have improved by 30 points from their first PT score. It won't happen by accident, but it can happen eventually if you keep working at it.

BP Ben, my homie, my main man... wanna take the LSAT for me and get me a 180? kthnx

Sure no problem smalls. Piece of cake. I accept gold teeth, and all major credit cards.

Yo! Let me know where you live! Ima yank those out!

[Rigo]

I have yet to run into anywhere that doesn't take Visa so I'll stick with that.

[Smallville]

since you made it one

[JackelJ]

It's Ben & Jerry's free cone day today, so if you get some drilling done then you should reward yourself with free ice-cream!

Yeah, Visa is a good call.

Rude.

Taking PT 49 today at some point.

The books/novels game on PT37 just destroyed me. Is this considered one of the more difficult games?

[biggestlawman]

So tired today! I need to get out of the habit of needing entertainment after a busy day. Spent 2 hours on youtube from midnight to 2 am. I am so frustrated! Going to gulp down my coffee and hope for the best!

Dude, change that tar!

I don't think that it is. You talking about the one with language books and 3 shelves? I think it divides nicely into like 3-4 game boards.

Yep, that one. You're right, it does split nicely into a few game boards but I found it very time consuming. Took me like 13 minutes on first try.

Also, it seems like you've been working your ass off. Hope you kill this test in June. I'm taking in October because I've procrastinated but now I'm making it a priority to put in 4 hours a day until test day. I've learned from people like you the importance of consistency and diligence, so thanks.

So I took the June 2007 PT on Saturday and scored a 169.
LG: -3
LR: -0
LR: -1
RC: -5
Disappointed in LG. Happy and suspicious about LR. Befuddled by RC (although I haven't done any intensive RC work). Just from what I've seen on this thread lately eople seem to have extreme recommendations about how to handle RC. It's either spend 2:30 per initial read or 4-5 minutes. I'll try to strike a balance and just use the 8 minute time bank method, see where that gets me.
Going to PT later today once I'm off work.

[Rigo]

Damn that LR is on point.

That's a great score. 169 on the J07 test is basically like a 172-173 on a normal -12 curve.

That is good going indeed. How long have you been studying?

It's the best I've done on LR yet which is why I am suspicious it may have been a fluke.

Thats good to know. I was frustrated I didn't break 170.

I started mid-late January.

[Big Red]

So I just learned that the June test is at 1230, which is amazing.
