Just a heads up, they pretty decisively exaggerate when you need to be at the test site. If you're far enough away to where you still need to be up at 530 you might want to look into getting a cheap hotel

I got 3 1/2 hours of sleep in December, and i talked to 3 or 4 other people who couldnt focus as well. There's like over a 50% chance you wont get to sleep on time

Do they play golf in snow in the north/northeast cause for some reason in Texas people feel the need to golf while the ground is still covered in ice and snow and I don't understand it.

Uhhh I don't think so...

This furthers my argument of reasons to leave.

zacboro wrote:Fuck. My body is so sensitive to how much sleep I do or don't get. Usually do 8 hours, and when I do life is good and I can actually focus. But last night I got like 6.5 hours and I can definitely tell. Sleep is gonna be one of the most important factors in my gameday scores I just know it.

Let me tell you. The entire month before the test I was so incredibly careful with how much sleep I got before practice tests. I made sure I got at least eight hours of sleep beforehand. I wanted it to be perfect.

The night before the test. I remember looking at the clock at 3:00 AM. I ended up getting roughly four hours of sleep. I was absolutely devastated going in. All that time I spent trying to make sure I would sleep well, and then I had one of my worst nights of sleep in a long time.

Well, now I'm writing this to you from the Columbia Law library. I scored on the actual test as well as my best practice tests, those I did after eight or more hours of sleep. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't stress it. If you don't get sleep, you don't get sleep. You still know the material. It's not like you only get access to that material upon reaching a certain required number of sleep hours. Drink some tea the night before, go to bed, and just keep reminding yourself - the sleep doesn't matter. What matters is you know the material. Which you do.

On my break from PT 68.
Supplement a semi-official old RC section at the beginning. Printer currently out of ink so I just randomly put together 4 old RC passages from Cambridge and used that as my Section 1. Turns out the first 2 sections are RC-LR lol...so 2 RC sections def killed me.

Which means I have LR/LG after this break.

The author's claims are most vulnerable to criticism on the groups that

A) He tries to a base a generalization on a statistical sample that is too small to support such a generalization.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like an ass just now. I see what you're saying but I plan on waking up even earlier than 5:30 the day before game day, that way I'm way more tired by night time then normal. And I take sleep aids every night. So I never really even have a chance to have trouble falling asleep (unless it's unusually noisy). But I know my anxiety will probably be at an all time high. I appreciate the input.

Then what do i know... you do you
