I'm starting to feel drained. My body and brain are like, "Okay, are we done? We'd rather sleep." I just had a second cup of tea and hoping I wake up enough before getting home to get in a solid three hours of studying tonight.

It is sooooooooooo hard. I slept in yesterday until 9:30am and felt guilty for not getting up at 6am to take a PT at 8:30 exact.

I struggle after work, I can usually do a section or two but my mind is so drained from the day id rather exercise and eat and watch tv.

Just did PrepTest C and got dominated by the LG section. I hate how dejecting one feels after a poor PT performance.

Eta - That said, my plan tonight is to run, sweat out my feelings, and then go HAM on some RC.

Hi everyone,

I was just looking for some help from people who score 170+. I've read many of the earlier posts and have committed to rigorous studying over the last 7 weeks. My last four practice tests are 161-165. I have done every problems and test in the New 10 and 10 actual. I have ordered the two earlier iterations so I can thoroughly exhaust the Reading Comprehension sections (where I struggle the most).

I just thought I'd ask some of you experts what you would do in these last two weeks if you are me.

I can often get all of the LG's and range normally between 20-22 per LR section (rarely guessing on the last 1-2 because of time). I have been going over all of the ones I dash (meaning longer time) and star (meaning general lack of understanding) to ensure I don't make the same mistake twice. I've also been doing my best to get my accuracy up on the Reading Comprehension. (My goal is to thoroughly answer three passages and move for three within the last five minutes or so on the last passage: the MP, PP, line-specific question, for example). If I can get 22/27, I'll be ecstatic. I normally get 16-19.

Every day I try to go over an old reading comprehension section to better pick up on the nuances I may have missed on the first go-round. I have also done every problem in all of the LSAT Bibles (currently doing the Reading Bible for a second time).

I have five more tests scheduled before D-Day (67-70;72). Between them, I intend to go over all of my dashes and stars, do un-timed accuracy and question type prep, and other pacing exercises (first ten LR in 10 minutes for example; or a sequencing game in 7 minutes).

To my LSAT gurus out there: am I missing anything here? How can I give myself the best chance to break the 165 barrier. What's the best way to get that final push?

Thank you

My cousin told me that she found her 3 year old asleep on the kitchen floor. He went to get a snack but also realized he was really tired, so he just decided to lie down right there.

SO ADORBS, but what I also got out of this was that being an adult sucks.

I struggle after work, I can usually do a section or two but my mind is so drained from the day id rather exercise and eat and watch tv.

Yesterday when I was doing my shivasana after yoga, I was so comfortable. Never has the floor ever been so comfortable ever. I was ready to just let myself go to sleep right there, in front of my bed.

Colonel, when do you study!? I leave my house at 8am and arrive home no earlier than 7pm so I don't really have a choice.

I heard electronic brain stimulation does wonders for some

This is why I never study at night. It's more frustrating than it is productive.

Well the first game wasn't too bad, once I figured out how to properly set it up. But I flubbed the second game because I didn't read close enough. I put the highest ranking restaurants on the far right and the lower ranking on the far left, and once I realized I had messed it up I was halfway through the questions and got really flustered.

Also super random, is Suits on Amazon Prime? Thinking about getting a prime membership since I can get a student account and it will only be $50 for the year. I still have never watched Suits.

Do you go to yoga a lot? I've done hot yoga a few times n it's pretty cool.


I leave for work at 8, study for an hour at lunch, get home from work/gym at 730, eat
And sit Til 830, then study Til 10 when I work again for an hour. Then sometimes I'll study for another half hour after that or I'll go to bed

It looks like Seasons 1-3 are available on Prime for free streaming, and season 4 is available for purchase. (I haven't seen it before either.)

Is Prime otherwise worth it?

For me it is. I buy a lot of stuff online, and it's great having super fast two-day shipping included in everything. Also, there are a lot of TV shows and movies that Netflix doesn't have that Prime does. I'm thisclose to canceling cable for good... if it weren't for live sports programming.

Thank you 3! I pulled the trigger.

ETA: I meant "pulled the trigger" in the colloquial way indicating that I had followed through with an action I was debating or otherwise struggling to make.
So calm TF down, NSA.
