Haha been there. I actually think I tried to give Gamerish advice yesterday on a question you'd answered an hour before. Thanks.

I am kind of interested in how people set up their games. Despite having two pages per game I still like to space my item list, rules, and master game board the same way as I did with one page, while putting my work for specific Q's next to the answer choices. Really the extra space mostly comes in handy for me when I decide to split the game board and solve for all possibilities. Otherwise I end up kind of directionless.

I actually much prefer the older 1 page per game setup.

JackelJ · Post by **JackelJ** » Wed May 13, 2015 12:41 pm

Yeah, I prefer 1 page for games with fewer questions because it's easier to just look at the bottom of the page instead of the page over. But I just diagram the same way and in the same place whether I'm given one page or 2.

Technically discontinued on 7Sage but you can still get it at Cambridge.

I just checked Cambridge and it looks like they still sell downloadable PDFs (Cambridgelsat.com) There are no legal ways to get PDFs for free.

Eta: scooped by Casper the ghost. So sneaky

Except for the one available from LSAC, (http://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source ... ptjune.pdf), there is no legal way to get free pdfs of PTs.

zacboro wrote:Hey guys, hope everyone's prep went well. I have great news! Well, by great I mean great for me... So I took PT 20 today w/ exp full timed conditions and I got a 177!!!! Highest PT ever, even after countless prep for Feb I never broke 176.

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

For anyone who knows my struggle with RC, going -1 is insane for me. I didn't blind review. I don't know if I'm going to BR for June because BR is so draining and I think my main holdback with Feb was how much I drained myself during the two month period leading up to the test. I haven't reviewed my answers yet though so I should probably go do that. I just wanted to share my good news for today with yinz all. Good luck to everyone else still prepping today!

Congrats!

Doing PT 60 today. Will report back later.

LG: -1
LR: -8
RC: -4
168

Pretty pissed about RC. It was the first time I actually managed to finish the whole section so I was expecting -1 or even -0 and I wound up doing worse than I ever have on an RC section on a PT. I'm happy about the LR improvement though. LG is still unpredictable. Very happy about the -1 but I felt that it was overall a very easy game section.

That LG section was actually pretty rough.

While you're studying today just think how far ahead you are of a lot of other people. You'll probably be one of the most prepared in the room if you keep studying. I found out today that a guy in my class is planning on going to law school. He did not have plans to study for the LSAT because he was told you don't really study for it. He also never heard of the T14. Tried to convince him he should study...

You're not taking June, right? Nopers! October for me. Last one, fast one.
Have you been jamming out to 212 recently? OMG NO. But I will fix that ASAP.
Lastly, are you gonna be my girl? Do you even have to ask bb? *heart eyes emoji*

Smalls - why am I lame?

Also, so glad to see everyone's progress ITT - esp. my lil homie Zacbro! That's awesome! Is there a reason why you're focusing on the older PTs? If you mentioned this earlier, my apologies for the redundancy!

What's up guys? I've had a pretty fun week so far. Haven't done much work lately, but I brought all my LSAT materials with me to my new apartment and they're sitting on the table here in a rather menacing manner that will probably motivate me to start doing LG again this week.

Going to officially change my test date tomorrow sometime if that's possible.

Does TLS still look like shit or did they change it back yet?
