The Official September 2016 Study Group - WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS Forum

[34iplaw]

got an alarm app where I have to solve math problems to make the alarm turn off, so that was pretty effective in waking me up.

What is the app called?

Mathe Alarm

yes Math with an e

Clearly, they are new to app development. The correct name should be, 'MTHLRM' with some play to how it begins and ends with an M.

Doing some random LR questions today...

48/50 STR so far and 30/30 WKN so far today. A bit too out of it for a PT. I'll do one tomorrow.

Got shitfaced last night for my 21st. Hopefully the liquor didn't wash away any LSAT knowledge.

Ayy happy 21st brotha!!

Thanks man! Feels good!

Also taking a meeting with someone from TFA tomorrow, so it may be a while before I end up doing law school. It may also be next year. WHO KNOWS. hahaha

Just got slapped around by PT 73.

After reviewing Flaw questions for a few days, my brain decided to completely forget how to do Logic Games.

RC: -3
LR1: -6
LG: -13
LR2: -3

Score: 161

So, I knew I was in trouble when the first LG took me 15 minutes. I'm guessing it's either burnout or taking a PT at 6:30a after a 5 minute breakfast.

I'm also going to start doing some warmup LR before PTing to get my brain in the flow of things.

After thinking things over, I think I am going to use these final 3 weekends to nail down my game day routine. This would mean breakfast, wake up time, hydration, etc.

To prevent burnout, I am going to do the PTs on Saturday during the actual test time and then enjoy the rest of my weekend (I am a huge football fan, so it won't be hard to get my mind off the LSAT). I will BR and Drill Monday - Thursday and then give myself Friday night to relax.

On that note, so we need to be at our testing centers at 8:30 AM, correct? When does the test *actually* start / how long does it take to get everything going typically? like 90 min?

Do you man! Just like you tell me, don't let that score get you down!

I've never really been a sports fan, but I will generally watch football on superbowl sundays like the rest of the generic non-sports watchers xD

I think it differs everywhere, but for me the test started at like 1 and I arrived there at 12:30. There's not really much to be done beforehand besides checking in with your ticket, and being assigned to a room. Then they just read you the rules and you begin.

Perfect! Thanks!! I just got it, I love how it lets you increase the levels.

Ugh, another PT ruined by the RC section:
PT61
LR: -3
AR: -4 (was really annoyed by this too because they were all mistakes in the last game which is freaking basic)
RC: -7
Score: 168

I hate the goddamn RC section so much. Every freaking time tanking my score. I got the Power Score RC Bible and I'm going to start studying it. Hopefully it has some helpful insights because having my 170+ scores consistently dashed by this garbage section is absolutely maddening. I'm no better off at it than when I started.

lol you just compelled me to go on a short trip down memory lane: vertical/horizontal asymptotes..

[theboringest]

Just got my best PT score today

PT 68

RC -2
LR1 -1
LR2 -1
LG -1

177

I guess this shows that, at least for me, mental focus is the most important thing at this point in the game. I took PT 67 five days ago and got a 166 and really the only thing that went wrong for that PT was I was tired and unfocused.

I did that test today and damn good job, idk how you went -1 on those games that 3 and 4 were ridiculous.

Happy Birthday, Tort.

Writing a rough draft for PS is much harder than I thought, having a tough time organizing the essay. Don't really wanna do much LSAT today so working on that. Anyone here didn't start PS yet? I'm getting super worried that I started too late.
Also, anyone find PT60 LG really difficult? Found the games super time consuming. Even the first one was just so annoying.

Been thinking and definitely gonna take a gap year or two after UG. I think getting some work experience and getting my head screwed on a bit better before applying/entering law school probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

Really tired and lethargic today and have done barely anything. I hope all this slacking isn't setting me back too much.

[TakeItToTrial]

Hit 170 for the first time today! December 2015 diagnostic. I've been checking this thread daily to keep the competitive juices flowing. Let's keep going hard.

-4 LG
-0 LR
-4 LR
-4 RC

-0 exp LR

Congrats!! Keep it going

Thank you! Yes, let's roll.

(gap year, after UG... before law school... this all makes sense right... please is something drastically wrong here I'm concerned)

I'm out of it today, sorry.
(rereading that I think maybe you meant 2 years out of UG, and I interpreted it as 2 years into UG.)

That thing where you go -0 on your last 3 RC drill sections, and then go -5 on the fourth.

Apparently 7sage rates the last game of 61 as a five difficulty. Surprising since it's a 1 to 1 sequencing, but I guess since some of the inferences aren't intuitive it makes sense. Most of my mistakes were from dumb mistakes I had no reason making since I had ample time going into it.
