65 total from UG and MA. But I'm not nearly as debt-phobic as you all are. If you make on-time income-based repayments for 20 years, anything not paid off is forgiven. Also, my income-based repayments for the last 2 years have been zero (and will continue to be for the next 3-4 years if I go to LS). I'm sure most everyone here qualifies for the same level of IBR.

Says the guy whose name inspired the whole debt conversation. I thought you would say 200k from UG, and 100K from grad. Disappointed.

Ha. It's a reference to one of my favorite shows (The Walking Dead) and the 200k-300k I'm likely going to take on as debt bc of LS.

Can someone give me some advice?

I'm currently taking a Testmasters course, and it's scheduled to have me take the LSAT in June. I already know that I won't be fully ready in June and I'll be either retaking in October or taking it for the first time. Should I just wait until October and take it once or take a shot at it in June?

Only take it when you're fully ready, so October or beyond.

In the exact same predicament. Would really appreciate some help with this. Is taking in October with a potential retake in December substantially worse than taking In June and retaking in October?

Also wanted to point out to everyone that if you go to rewardsgold.com and spend like 45 minutes filling out meaningless surveys you'll be able to earn enough points to get a free one year subscription to Economist magazine. Did this a few weeks ago and just received my first issue. No information required other than an email address and home address. Hope someone benefits from this.

Are PTs 72, 73, and 74 still available to purchase as .pdfs? They're the only ones I'm missing, but I don't want them if I have to buy physical copies because I don't want to mark them up and make them useless for future use. I have the other 71 PTs through the help of ....creative sources..... but I might just have to suck it up and buy these last 3.

Howdy, people!

Sipping tea this morning, and plan to start studying at 0930. Cannot believe! Typically its 1030. I am improving.

I finally got a hang of grouping. I am so happy! My inferences are really good, and now I just have to quicken up a little bit!

+1 to what Rigo said
Both of you should take it when you are ready. If you aren't ready for the June test than take it in October. October is better than June if you will score higher in October than you would in June

Hey guys! I read Spivey's blog post about the Navy Seal trainee dropout rate, and I loved it. I made a response in the BP thread, based on my own experience of pre-D Day anxiety and the enduring question, 'to take or not to take.' If you're interested, check it out.

If you don't care about having paper copies, you can browse their website in incognito mode for free. The paywall is just a simple cookie thing.

Are some of the RC excerpts actually drawn from the Economist, or is there some other reason why it's supposed to be a good prep source?

As for the test day anxiety, should one see a psychiatrist?

As long as the psychiatrist's prescription is "Drill harder" -- then yes.

Very ableist language, BP Ben.

But of course! Now, would it help additionally?

I have heard this before, but, the other day I picked up the WSJ at Sbux, and found that the only article that I read was just like the RC passages. It was weird! I did not pick up the paper thinking that I will find it similar, but there it was! I wonder if it was a one off or is it quite the rule with WSJ!

Took PT 46 today and honestly, I thought it was inordinately easy. BRing now. Game 4 of LG was a little tougher, but not insanely tough.

Check out the reviews on like the last pages of the Economist. They're book and science reviews that are insanely similar to the lsat in content and in length.

[JackelJ]

Re Economist: I haven't used it as prep for RC at all. I've just been drilling and re-drilling the same RC passages and I think I'm getting better. I think most people use it to get used to reading those kinds of passages and topics. But, IMO just reading 280 RC passages should get you used to reading those kinds of passages because you know, they are actual LSAT stuff.
