-4 on games from 76, all from misreading a rule on the third game. Holy shit. That's terrifying.
I knew I was fucking something up because I kept getting two answers that would work, but I couldn't figure out what.

Good rule I picked up. Spend an extra 30 seconds after you've finished writing your LG rules to double check and make sure you wrote them down correctly. It's a great insurance policy to have.

I have to start doing this.. Yesterday was one of the very few times that I actually skimmed over a rule without noticing. It screwed up my whole game and I was like "none of this shit makes sense" but then realized I forgot a rule lmaooo

Misreading rules in LG is the only thing that tilts me into oblivion in LSAT when I do it, especially when I'm 3 questions into the game already.

btw, your pep talk about PT72 being a statistical outlier was bang on - just did PT73 timed but in sections, got a 173. Looks like (some of) my skills are still there after all

You feel like you're wasting time when you do it, but you're saving SOOOOO much time in the case of a fuck up.

Yeah, I think something else would be to check off each rule so you don't accidentally miss one. This fuck up yesterday happened while doing an in-out game and I wanted to chain up my rules together so I was skipping around. I never really do this so I forgot about one of them.

Am I the only one that thinks some of the smaller stimulus LR questions are a lot more complex and harder than the "normal" or longer length stims?

those are easy for me but only because I know they tend to be MBT or RRE questions so I focus on the stimulus and make sure I understand it 100% before moving to the questions stem and answers. they'll be tough if you don't spend enough time in the stimulus.

I agree. They aren't ones I typically get wrong, but I find myself reading them slower and I feel like their AC's tend to be the ones written in a very complicated manner.

I started doing this too because I fucked up and missed a rule because I was rushing...

Same thing happened to me yesterday, same PT and game. I misread the L and L rule

Why did school have to start!? lol -- my classes already are picking up like crazy and balancing the this is tough. I felt like when I was working the issue with balance is more energy and then school is the actual work itself because there is no definitive time schedule that you can count on for completing assignments or reviewing course material, which makes it harder I think..but then again you have the freedom to do whatever you choose whenever.

Oh well- Home stretch guys! Lets get this and stay motivated.

That sounds like a really good policy to have. Gonna try to start doing that, though I imagine it will take some self-control.

Haha I feel ya. Make sure you don't push off school too much. I fucked myself senior year doing that with GMAT. But yeah, I swear every chance I get my "break" is drilling some LG. my second class today is so boring, def going to sit in the back and crush some games.

so many people did that on the real exam.

SAME. I read it as nonconsecutive. Feel like the game would've been much easier if that hadn't happened (and actually, you know, worked.)

Feel that. LG set -> mark -> run to class. No idea what the prof is talking about.
I'm semi-excited for this test to be done with (at least temporarily) so I can focus on class and not totally gut my gpa.

Right? Ugh. I tend to catch it but I do it worryingly often.

Glad to hear it! Though not at all surprised. How's LR going? I'm think I'm gonna be going through all the LR from 71-77 (and 78 when I get there) and picking them apart to make sure I'm solid on the reasoning/idiosyncrasies of the 70s.

official count down: 11 days until the LSAT.

As someone who works full time I do not envy everyone who is in school right now. I think it's a lot easier balancing work and LSAT than it would be to balance school and LSAT

I'm thinking about doing as many PTs as possible this week and then only doing 78 next week....but I'm kind of too scared to take that much time off next week.
