In other news, I have basically not studied in 3 weeks now and need to get my shit together. I have been struggling to restart and so I decided to redo all of the LG drills. I think that doing that will help me to get back into the groove of actually spending time studying and then I can transition to LR/RC or slowly integrate it. I really need to get myself together, though. I spent the whole weekend considering Feb vs. June and trying to decide if I should just take another month off and restart for June.

Shak, where is this magical upload tool?? I need it to keep me accountable!

You wanna hot body 180
You wanna Bugatti scholarship $$
You wanna Maserati be a lawyer
You better work bitch!

I'm sorry I got Britney stuck in my head

But I've had this problem too after I decided to postpone in September. This sounds lame, but I am writing in a study journal type thing. So once I day I will write in it "I did awesome today and studied for days on days" or I will write in it "I didn't study, I started rewatching Gossip Girl and I suck". Just a way to keep myself accountable.

Did you take the Manhattan free proctored exam at Penn also? I took one there back in August I think

I was there in August, I believe. The only other soul in my proctored exam was a girl. Are you that girl?! Haha

Haha yes, I am that girl. Small world. Hey, if you are in the area (assuming you are), I go to school in Philly if you ever want to meet up and take PTs together at a library or something. Feel free to PM me.

Yes that sounds good! It looks like the Feb 2015 group is finally picking up steam.

That's a good idea. I did something similar. I made an excel doc with what I plan to do and what i actually did. So far I've sucked two days in a row. One motivator that I realized last night is how dumb people might think I am if I study for like 9 months. Like people that don't know what the LSAT is...aka my family haha.

I feel the same way, after I postponed my mom was like, "what you didn't study enough? I thought you were smart and have been studying forever" and all my friends were like "but we miss you! you're smart you don't need to study more, just take it already!" I tried to explain the scoring and the percentiles and they thought I was ridiculous for killing myself to get from the 92nd% to 99th%. I started studying in June '14 and if I have to sit for the June '15 LSAT I think I will cry haha

Exactly!! I think my friends are worse than my family at the moment. When I decided to postpone Dec a couple were legitimately angry haha. I got a lot of "so this means 2 more months of you studying. Ugh. We never do anything anymore! You should just take it and see what you get. You're good at tests." My mom thought postponing was a good idea,but only because she somehow thought it would mean I could spend less time studying. Sorry, Mom.

lol I said to my one friend "soooo what if I told you I might push the test back again" ... he said he'd kill me lol I dont think I could deal with pushing it back again (along with the fact that I know I should get far enough by Feb to not have to...)

I'm in this same exact situation! No one understands how the length of time you spend studying for the LSAT does not necessarily correlate to a higher LSAT score. But I agree, gotta kill the Feb LSAT to take back our lives. I wonder what I'm going to do after work and on the weekends afterwards. I think I'll miss studying though. Sad, but true.

[jrdavila09]

I told my mom I may be retaking in February and she goes "good luck with that! Because there's no way I would study 2 more months for that Damn test!"

Had to look that one up. Yeah it's tricky. I should prob redo it one of these days

I probably shouldn't have gone to Mad Mex for a big azz margarita before taking PT36 either. lol

Really gunning for a 179.

Who the f guns for a 179?

You know those LG questions that say "if M is third and T is sixth, how many possible variables could be between M and T, not including M and T?" or "if M is third and T is sixth, how many possible variables could be between M and T, including M and T?

Let's say the answer is there are three variables that can be between them (A, B, and C). To the first question, I answer 5. To the second, I answer 3. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

There's always at least one of those questions, or a nasty substitution question, on each test. So a 179 is more reasonable than a 180.

Please tell your tutor to call me. I'm not kidding, I would like to get a call from some stranger who says "hi, I am WorldsCollide's tutor and I stand by my statement that "the numbers are going back up" so I can explain malpractice to him. Thank you!

Spivey, your tar! it's awesome

I hate it.

Haha, it's def unique. You're a good sport, Mr. Spivey, for using it this long What were the terms again? You have to keep it till the 25th?

I'm pretty sure I can bring the terms whenever I want lol. In fact, I have no idea why I agreed to them I the 1st place. I doubt I'll make it to the 25th.

Yeah that's a doozy. Life gets a lot easier when you combine the G-H rule (1) with the GK rule (3). And you'll want the contrapositives of at least the simple conditionals (4 and 5).

Thanks peppermint, pretty sure that's where my older sister got it. Family nickname
