Did some RC practice today and I did pretty good but I didn't time myself, got -4 on PT so I'll take it. Games was a different story, hopefully I get that down soon or else I might postpone.

lol you're 3 months out and already talking about postponing? You'll fit in well around here my friend.

haha I just feel like I won't get games down :/ I took a class this year that someone said would help with the lsat and I didn't even get it then lol. I've heard decent things about 7Sage, maybe I'll give them a try.

7sage and redoing games is probably the best way to git gud at games imo

TBH, I would never bother worrying about # of questions in an order on a test unless you had one you were really unsure about.

See Gambler's fallacy. "D D D D" is not statistically less likely than "D E C A" or any other specific combination.

I would love to see a test where every answer in an incredibly difficult LG section is just D across the board, 24 times. That would REALLY fuck with a lot of people. To see the bitching/panic on the forums the afternoon after a test like that, priceless.

It's confirmed, I'm a masochist.

Only if you're taking that test...

I'm in. I don't bubble my answers until usually the 5 minute mark, so it wouldn't fuck with me as much as some others. Although I'd definitely shudder once I realized I had D's down the board. But at that point it would be too late for me to do anything about it.

That and you strike me as someone comfortable with getting a few Ds at once...

As long as they come in pairs.

Wow. Well played. Excellent. Impressive. Very nice.

See but if I'm not overthinking that what should I be overthinking during the test...

So I'm reading my Trainer chapter hopefully it'll make a difference. I'm going to BR the RC after finishing this chapter. :/

I feel like the LSAT has made me a full time recluse. Also, social life has been extinct from my vocabulary for awhile. Haha. Chronicles of an LSAT prepper.

It's so great!! I can't think about anything other than the test so I'm not even being dishonest when I pass up on happy hours and other outings b/c let's be real... a 175+ on this test is so much more satisfying.

[lurksoh4rd]

Omg hey guys. I'm day 3 into full time test prep and legit thinking I'm gonna have to postpone but I am actually having fun studying!

So true! I don't even know what it means to have a life outside of the LSAT anymore lmao

Does anyone know what PT begins the era of comparative passages?

Also I kind of want to start using RC from 50s/60s to drill with but I don't want to use up potential PT material in the event that I have to do December. I could always use RC from the 40s but I'm worried the material and subject matter is so far removed from the real deal i.e. what I should be working with..

Thoughts?

it starts with June 2007 and then the next one is PT52.

I personally am saving the 50's for PTs, idk how you would want to go about doing it tho

Oh thanks! I did the June 2017 last year as a diagnostic.. Hmm I don't think I remember any of the passages, maybe I can try using that PT.

Well, I'm doing timed sections this month of PT's from next month it's full fledged PT's. I'm trying to do 50s-60s-70s. I'm actually doing Twiix's BR schedule haha

So by drilling RC, I was thinking of drilling sections from the 50s but like I said, I don't want to use up the material. Maybe I'll just do the 40s RC sections haha. What are you using to drill RC?

RC is the bane of my existence.... I'm 1/3 through the RC Manhattan LSAT book and I'll be honest....it is just OK. They keep using some annoying analogy or something that I'm not that big a fan of. Whatever it is still practice.

Ugh. I hate hate HATE RC right now. I'm going through the Trainer chapters on RC because everyone on here raves about how great Trainer was for RC. I went through the Manhattan guide last year for RC (but really slowly, I took 6 months going through it lol) and found it really helpful. I'm actually thinking of rereading it after I finish the Trainer chapters. But who knows, if I find the Trainer sufficient for RC I might just stick to his approach.

I have a friend who recommended Trainer to me and she did the RC from September of last year so I think 79 and went a perfect score on that RC. So hopefully, it works its magic. Right now RC has me on a leash. :/

I actually really love the Trainer RC. I think it hit home that when you have a very limited amount of time, you need to focus on structure and author reasoning. You need to constantly question what role each part of the passage plays. I think we're so focused on trying to understand what the passages are trying to say, we forget that that it doesn't really matter that much at all once you get to the questions. I did two RCs back to back right now, and I tried to make myself understand the structure. As a result, I went through the passages much more quickly than I have in the past. The questions I got wrong were really stupid mistakes that would've been avoided with more careful reading. It's definitely work, but you guys got this!!
