Guys, can you tell me how you'd approach PT57,S3,Q14 in real-time? Really struggle with these types of questions during the timed exam. I just can't hold all the information in my head, and diagramming would take way too much time. During BR, I got the answer. But even just comprehending the stim took me several minutes.

i did this question and I thought it was easy because the answer choices were easy to eliminate. A and B are easy elimination since we know nothing MUST have the label "nonfat." as for C, the baguettes could actually be nonfat but we don't have that information so we don't know if its in violation. for E, notice that it fulfills any and all requirements -- the label on the salsa is permitted for any type of nonfat product, it's the most detailed one! this leaves us with D.

D should also pop out because one part of the stimulus is especially relevant -- the first sentence -- this is how I came to the correct answer when I first came to this q IIRC.

Thanks, got it! You didn't diagram though, right?

nope, usually for these types of questions one of the answer choices just pops out as the probably right answer, so I go to it first and check to against the stimulus.

So, I was spazzing out about my 173 yesterday because it was so far below my 177 average. Then I realized, all I need to achieve my goals is a 171/172, so I need to chill the fuck out. UVA's 75th percentile is a 170, so as long as my score starts with a 17, whatever.

I had this realization recently as well and it made me feel better. I want a 180. But a 172, 173 is a ridiculously good score. I'll only really be sad if I fall below that general area.

PT 77

173

LG: -2
LR1: -0
LR2: -1
RC: -5

when doing RC and LG i felt wouldn't break 170 on this, so it's good to see the score. i still have no clue how to do game-3, just tried to brute force through it and couldn't make sense of it in the 10+ minutes i had for it. Couldn't get to one question in RC and the 3rd passage felt almost incomprehensible. Will be BRing it this week.

Congrats! Good stuff.

thanks, i'd be happy if I could match this score on the real administration

Completely bombed PT59 and just barely got a 160. Didn't get to the last RC section. Didn't get to the last six questions in AR (partly due to getting hung up on a question I misinterpreted). got a minus freaking TEN on the first LR section. The only saving grace was the second LR section where I went -2. My number of blind guesses due to lack of time has been increasing over the past two weeks and naturally my score has been trending downward. Still going to study, but it just seems more and more futile. My Monday scores usually are pretty low, maybe breaks on Sunday don't help me.

What is everyone here doing after test day, provided you think you did well? Vacationing, work, school?

I realized yesterday that I'll likely be on vacation when scores come out. I'm really hoping it doesn't ruin vacation for me.

Other than that, not much changing for me, full time work and family life.

Probably get shitfaced, then back to school.

[Instrumental]

Nothing special, just dwelling on results coming back. Maybe revising/reviewing the rest of my application package.

Drinking Saturday, hangover Sunday, work Monday...then finish my PS/apps between then and the day scores come out.

We're pretty much living the same life.

On break for PT73 right now. Feeling pretty good about it, but then again I've felt good about my last 2...
really trying to get up to 2 pt's weekly with concentrated drilling to even out whatever is hold me back. Countdown to test day should be a party

Took 73 yesterday, went pretty well overall! Hope the same goes for you

[thatlawlkid]

PT 73:

RC: -4
LR: -4
LG: -3
LR: -2

Not sure what happened on LG considering I finished 5 minutes early, must have just worked too quickly and forgotten to apply a rule. Glad to be back to in my range after that drop.

Now that my LSAT and GPA seem good, I'm worried about softs. Never read about the incoming class of law schools; fuckers are too impressive.

[Mikey]

Completely shit the bed on PT 70.


Wow.

YES!!!!!!!

OMG, fucker who worked on O'Malley campaign. Meanwhile I'm like "I like to read and write".

[Mikey]

So, since I completely fucking got WRECKED by PT 70, I'm actually embarrassed to share my score but whatever, I got a 156. I really don't know what happened, but I was definitely iffy on the first LR. What an awesome confidence booster this was..

Like I REALLLLLLLLLLY don't know wtf just happened, like, AT FUCKING ALL. Sigh, I was feeling around the mid 160's but I guess not.

I'm surprised there's 26 of em. honestly thought there were like 10 or less.

Makes me feel better. Those were obvs the 4 with the best softs, so it's good to know that there are that many scholarships available. I'd love a Dillard.

Dude, I was actually confident about RC ANDDDD finished it on time (right on 35 mins actually). I was ehh on the first LR, but I thought at worst I would get low 160's, but I was confident in a mid 160 score. Ugh, this sucks so much. I guess the warm up didn't really help, huh? Lul fml.

how do I check my LSAC photo?
