The Official September 2016 Study Group - WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS Forum

Well.. Another PR today!!

PT 62: 174

I didn't get a chance to do an experimental-- had a full day studying for class.

RC: -2
LR: -4
LG: -2
LR: -1

Over all, extremely pleased. It seems as I made some stupid mistakes compared to usual and I still went -2 in games even though thats all i have been drilling since last PT. Although, I did notice much more ease in the LG section and it was just 1 game that through me off. I am getting to a better true foundational understanding because even though I go consistently under -3 and have gone -0 before, I can crush games most of the time, but here and there is that one change in initial setup or an odd question that throws me off and im like fuckkkk. Nonetheless, improving each day and if I scored 174 on Test Day I'd be super pumped.

Keep on grinding!! 2 weeks out mates (Tech less than now, but still) Lets get it

WOOOT stellar job Jagerbom! congrats!!

Thanks protein! I know- About a month ago I was really not confident moving forward ( I anticipated the upper 60s struggle) and when I broke 170s I was like oh shit, Okay- wasn't expecting that right out of the gate (I thought it was a fluke), but now im consistently doing it.

Just got some 70's PTs in the mail. Looking to crush those this and next week.

Whenever I'm reading the LSAT and I see phenomenon, I can't help but think of...

Lmfao! Great... thats going to play in my head everytime i see one. Classic

It's the little things that get you through... like when the LSAC has a question where the response is to prevent the argument that being right handed conveys a survival advantage. Granted, that's garbage, because it totally does! Or, at least, I think there were some studies in the 90s about it!

[Alexandros]

LGs from A (0) and C (-2 misbubbling and mistake) this morning, then the rest of C, which was new. -2 LR1 (misreading and carelessness) and 0 LR2 and 0 RC. I think LR is going to be the major priority here to test, in addition to staying sharp on the other sections.
I've got 45 minutes until next class so I'm going to go over 76 LR1 again.

[proteinshake]

just finished up PT 74. feeling really good about both LRs, but had a bit of a timing problem on the RC. spent too much time on certain questions but don't feel like I did horrible on the section. went -1 on LG because I had to work pretty quickly and ended up guessing on one on the last game which was pretty tough.

confession: i've never done June 2007 as a PT

[Instrumental]

Oi, I just got another 168. Goddamn, My RC goes up and my LR goes down. IT'S NOT FAIR! WTF
PT 71
LR: -11
AR: -1
RC: -5

Hope the AR on test day is as easy as the AR on this test. Was expecting a daunting fourth game after the first three being a breeze and... nope.
Either the test has subtly changed in LR or my mind has changed in approaching LR. Gotta get back to where I was dammit.

[proteinshake]

think I figured out the game day breakfast:

1.5 servings Kashi Cinnamon Mini Wheats
A spoon of peanut butter
1 scoop of whey protein in water

I have to bring food in my luggage since I'm staying in a hotel and hotels also usually don't have nutritious breakfast options which is why I'm bringing my own.

I tend to find this to be true. I typically find most AR sections to be somewhat consistent whereas the hard section will either be LR or RC.

I'm having probably an egg sandwich and coffee the morning of.

this might sound weird but i'm also going to have a bit of dark chocolate because of what some studies have said about it helping with focus and memory. not sure how true this is, but either way if it doesn't, it's chocolate, so win win situation

Might as well be Cooley.

[theboringest]

My reading comp is becoming wildly inconsistent, anywhere between -0 and -4, and it's really frustrating. Not sure if this is a mental block or not but the passages/questions seem to have gotten much more abstract on recent test with some damn tricky answers.


Plus side, LR is still pretty decent with my weakness still weaken questions...

So excited. Never in a million years did I think Harvard would be a realistic option.

[Mikey]

The Gropius complex seems dorm-ish, tho idk if they meet the technical definition of dorms.
