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.

I have not started my PS. Aside from very haphazard LSAT studying...I've only contacted my two college recommenders.

Just met with some representatives with Teach for America. Starting to consider graduating this year, doing that for two years, and then starting law school in 2019.

Whatever you think is best for you, bro!!

44.1.25 is the dumbest question. I guess it's the only one that sort of directly refers to proponents of the moment, but... really LSAC?

I think it'd be nice to do a real job that helps people for a bit. Also, it'd open up more options in schools and scholarships.

But, who knows, we'll see.

I just completed TFA. PM me if you have any questions.

I'll definitely do that! Thanks!

On break from 66.

Was not a fan of the games section. I think I may have neglected games a bit too much. I'm not sure what happened TBH. I found the last relatively easy. I just got super screwed up on the stupid store game. Probably a -4 or something. Not remotely OK.

Going to redo it times before going into BR as a '6th' section.

Is it just me or is PT 70 LR4 hard af.

If not, then my BR score shows that I'm a fucking moron

My "I'm not 100% sure on this answer" markings on this section were, uh, common. So no, not just you.

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.

I know, they were terrible. I did the first two in under 10min though so I knew I just had to keep calm and keep moving my pencil.

Dear god. I literally just went -7 on an RC section. Holy shit.

Dear god. I literally just went -7 on an RC section. Holy shit.

Apparently misbubbled 5??? I'm not sure how that happened since I don't generally have issues with misbubbling. welp, that's scary. So -2 really, which is a relief.

I switched an answer about the authors' attitude from approval to indifferent at the end, because I realized the author never really speaks as themselves . Learning my lesson to go with my gut on these interpretive-ish questions, and only change an answer afterwards if I see that it's definitely wrong.

[ashrice13]

i figured out what went wrong for my last LG section! I represented a rule that said "at least" as if it said "exactly". Not sure if I should hate myself for making such a stupid error or be happy that there was a good reason why I was so confident yet got 4 questions wrong for the same game.

I feel like the answer is never 'indifference'

Oh my god. I just took PT62. Improved my RC score (-4), more or less consistent with my LR score with a -6. AR though, AR made me want to put a fist through the wall. Games two and three made me feel like I had never done a logic game in my life. Those are easily the hardest LGs I've had to do in the 41 PTs I've taken and it's absurdly more difficult than any of the past ones I've done. Couldn't make useful inferences and the only way I could conceive of figuring out some questions was by basically writing out everything to the point that it would just sap all the time left. I just fully completed the first and last games, did the first two questions from games two and three since those were easy enough, and put in blind guesses for the rest. I sure hope they don't pull some bullshit like that on the test and the AR is more like the past 10-12 tests which I thought were pretty straight forward.

[Alexandros]

I think my worst fear is to have like a minute left and realize I bubbled off by one for the entire section.

Hahaha, I'm def doing this on test day. 3 section warmup, 5 section actual test.

[Instrumental]

Yeah, once one of the inferences in game two is explained, the rest of the questions are p. easy. Feels bad man.
