Just did my second PT. Got a 176. Oddly enough, I missed 5 LR, and no RC or LG, which is weird for me.

I felt myself getting tired on the LR, so I think I should shorten my warmup a bit.

Bruv, I can't even bang out one 176 and this man got 2 in a single day. Ku-fucking-dos to you sir.

Gonna finish 70, review and jumping on the 69 train tomorrow. 22 days!

Doing 69 today. 70's comp reading passage was difficult imo. I usually breeze through the comp passage as opposed to the regular passages, but that passage wasn't hard to understand , I just felt like the questions were tough. LR4 can suck me

The comp passage on 70 I didnt mind. I had a hard time with the last passage for whatever reason. Also LR4 can go screw itself.

I'm in way too many fucking pre-med classes for someone that's definitely going into law.

My dude, I've been switching in and out of classes for the past few days and finally have an easy schedule. Why are you torturing yourself?!?!?!? lol I just need credits to reach the credit requirements so I have a bunch of BS electives.. If you're in the same position I'm in.. be like me... be TheMikey. See what I did there? nah? iight coo

Now I feel old with you guys talking about UG.....

[Instrumental]

Thought I was making headway with RC and then PT63 gave me a reality check. All other sections: -7, RC: -9. Part of me thinks having it as the last section affects my ability to perform, but idk, the questions seemed pretty tough right off the bat. According to 7sage, the difficulty for each passage was 5,4,5,4 respectively. Shit is devastating though. jesus.

PT75: 170 (-1LG, -2RC, -4/-3LR)

Just...yuck. I felt off the whole way. Never got into a rhythm or a sense of flow.

The scary thing is I thought I bombed LG but still managed to go -1 so I very easily could've done a lot worse had my "hunches" not paid off. I guess everyone has good days and bad days and I should be glad my bad days are 170's. This being opposed to last go around when good days were 171's and bad days were 165's.

Very solid score for not feeling "in the zone".

Just ate Panda Express. Why.


Also, adjusting my goals upward. Gonna retake anything below a 175.

I posted this earlier but not sure if you missed it.
Which pts are you at? Have you taken 70s?

that rc is soliddd

[Instrumental]

Yeah if I can start getting even a -3 on RC somewhat consistently, I can go into this test confidently. Freaking hate that section so it's going to be what I primarily study from here on out. My performance in that section is just embarrassing.

The first PT was from the 50's, second from the 60's. Have taken many of the 70's, and haven't experience a change in score when I do. Going to retake one of the 70's sometime soon.

If I never see another required assumption question in my life, I will be happy. However, to be a law student without hundreds of thousands in dollars in debt, I must succeed on the LSAT. Therefore, if I am a law student without hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, I am unhappy.

The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that the argument:
(a) Ignores the possibility that the LSAT test writers might choose to forgo this type of question entirely;
(b) Is written by someone who should go outside;
(c) Forgets the possibility that the author may have a secret rich uncle who is about to die and leave them everything and they won't need scholarship $;
(d) Has an easily diagrammable logic problem and therefore couldn't possibly be a real question;
(e) Dismisses the possibility that the author could choose to approach RA questions through other senses, such as listening or tasting.

Put a trigger warning before that imo

[ashrice13]

Speaking of the 70s - do you guys think it's important to PT these specifically? I've heard a few people say LR gets a lot harder. I have tests up to 71 and then I purchased the June 2016 test....Do you think it important to take the ones in between to get a feel for the newer tests?

Sadly I still have half of my 60 credit degree to finish, and everything is full. (although if I were in your position, I would assuredly be TheMikey.) I've got a good few days to switch things around though, so hopefully I can work something out where I don't have to memorize all of the nervous system for the fifteenth time.

[Alexandros]

Gonna print out PT 69, put on some tunes, make some tea, and BR this thing.

So tired rn. 2 extra strength melatonins -> 5 hrs of sleep -> PT -> 3 classes, not the best combo apparently.
