michigan state, yep, they've sent me a crap ton of stuff. be honest, what do you do with all the crap these TTT and TTTT schools send you? honestly, i just look at the school name and if I've never heard of them i just rip it up and toss it

the only school that has sent me something that i actually am considering is WUSTL. all other stuff sent to me has been from who knows what schools

Tbh I toss everything.


Completely underrated note, I think I'm gonna email UVA once I get my LSAT asking if I can come to tour and interview, so that I REALLY show they're my first choice.

Broke 160 today on a PT for the first time!!!

PT 66: (June 2012)
LR1: -7
LG: -4
LR2: -7
RC: -9

Spent too much time on a diagramming mistake on Game 1 and subsequently ran out of time of a clearly doable Game 3. Also made a few dumb mistakes on LR/RC

Started this journey June 1st with a 145 diagnostic, by July I was in the low 150's, spent August in the mid 150's and the last two weeks in the high 150's. Trending up like a MOFO!

Ultimate goal is 165 but i'm still going to take in two weeks to have one under my belt for graduation (in December) before working for 1.5-2 years and retaking somewhere in the time frame. Thanks to TestMasters I have a ridiculous conceptual grasp of the test. Now it just comes down to executing under timed conditions - especially for a lifelong slow and diligent reader (not the kind of skill that really promotes success on this test).


Hope everyone else's studies are progressing well!

RC may be clicking *knock on wood*

I'll try a more recent RC section by reading it 'dumber'... I think I've started to fall into that realm of trying to read into it too much.

I'm applying to WUSTL because they make it rain, and I'd love to have some scholarship leverage, but I don't really want to go.

We're allowed to keep our keys in our pocket, right?
Or do we have to, like... bury them somewhere memorable before entering the TC.

I'm changing my goals. 170 or above and I'll apply.


This takes a lot of pressure off. I know I can do that, even on a bad day. Just need to keep my cool.

PT 74 turned out to be very....interesting:

Score 171

LR -2
LG -1
RC -8 :oops:
LR -0

so obviously that's a terrible RC performance, but at least I can totally bomb it and still get a 171 :lol:. the last passage had 6 questions and I only got 1 right, probably because I was pretty rushed for time. let this be a lesson to not spend more than a minute or a minute and a half on ANY question.

Still a good ass score. I'd be ecstatic if I got that on test day. What score will you be content with on test day?
