Gonna spend today doing logic games (and sleeping). If I get a bit more mental energy I'll do some RC and/or print off the 70s and start going through the LR again.

[appind]

Heading home. Going to get home, have lunch, chill for a little bit and then get into PT78!! I'm actually hyped to take it because I know I'm going to do so much better on it then I did for actual administration.

I think I'm going to meditate the morning of test day. Sounds all spiritual and shit, but when I first started attacking RC, I was meditating and I felt like it helped, but I haven't done it in a while. Anyone meditate?

I want to meditate, but I don't know how

[darthrevan92]

Planning to take two more PTs. Took PT 78 in june but definitely planning to take that before thr 24th. Not sure if I should take 74 or 76. 74 would be a retake for me

[pleasesendhelp]

Just finished PT 60 and scored a 174 woohoo

LR1: -2
LG: -0
LR2: -3
RC: -2

Ran out of time on the third RC passage because I've been trying too hard to get answers that are 100% explicitly stated in the passage.

I cant seem to come to terms with one of the AC for LR2 though, anyone have any insight?

[+] Spoiler

For question #20 LR2 of PT60 I chose answer D over answer A, without reproducing any information the question stimulus basically says don't do this unless X and Y then gives an application. Which AC if true justifies application of the principle.

[Replitz]

So I've been taking a few PT's a week trying to keep my score consistent and was feeling good... last two PT's were 180 and 177...

Then today I sit down for PT 72 and score a 169, my worst result since I started studying. I missed 6 questions in RC, not even tough ones just regular questions. WTF happened??

This is what scares me about the LSAT. I could prep my ass off and still just flub completely on test day.

Made myself a nice little packet of oddball retro games cause i was getting way too comfortable

Really feeling this thread title rn.

[Instrumental]

Damn, just finished PT73 and was feeling especially good about it, but it only came out to a 168. Was crushing RC until I got to the end of passage 3 where I missed three in a row. They were ones I was debating over the answer I chose and the right answer. Still, -5 is much better than past tests.

RC:-5
LR1:-5 (Fffff-)
AR: -3
LR2:-2

Really solid on the timing though, was happy about that. AR is always the one where it feels like a toss up on whether I'll finish on time, but I did. Nothing was particularly out of the ordinary on those LGs. PT74 tomorrow!

Just scoped out my test center. Looks like some great conditions for an LSAT.

Gonna do a section a day until Thursday, nothing Friday, and then warmup Saturday

I made a weird trolly thread if y'all want to contribute.

[speedwagon]

PT 69 can kiss my ass.

167

-7 LR1
-6 Games bc I didn't finish
-0 RC (thank goodness for small blessings)
-3 LR2

Thr worst part being that every single one I got wrong in the LR I had it down to 2 and picked wrong. I even picked the right one and switched bc I talked myself into another answer. Time for serious review, especially of flaws/weakening qs.

Just realized my testcenter is where they are holding the first debate. I really don't know what that means.

PT 72 - 175

Yea-- LG4 was just really foreign at first and it took me time to figure out what was going on, but I had a good amount a time to think about it because I blew through the first 3 games. Ended up getting only -1 in LG and it was from Game 4 (had to rush on the last 2 questions and inevitably got one of them wrong). All i have been doing was LG drilling this week (a RC packet or 2) and overall this section was by far my best performance in LG out of any of my PTs. The test overall felt really fluid and I was the most confident I have been. Doesn't hurt also that I just achieved my goal of 175 . went -2 pretty much on everything and -1 in games. Taking one in the AM again. Lets see if I can beat the record and join 175+ club. Also I only did 4 sections, tomorrow gunning for 5 and a 6-section on Sat.

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

Haven;t looked at a writing section once yet, but I am great at essays under pressure. I know it doesnt matter a whole lot, but I will prob do one this week just because I am very A-personality and if I can be more comfortable with it, I rather it that way lol

wow, nice score.
72 RC is considered pretty tough. which ones you missed?

Thanks, very happy with it. I missed 2 Q's in Passage 2 of RC (the science passages are the death of me haha), an Assumption/Flaw basically in each LR and then question 22 in LG.

I already sort-of meditate (by that I mean just clear my mind and take a few moments to reflect and relax), but I read about that app and my friend told me about it. Want to give it a shot.

Definitely make sure you rest and get your health back...Last thing you want is to be sick next week.

Wake up around 5am, shower, eat a cliff bar. Starbucks, warmup (2 RC, 2 LG, 10 LR Q's), PB&J, try to use the bathroom, chug some pepto bismol, go to the test center, pray to the bubbling gods.

[Dodocogon]

Had lunch with the Deans of both Washburn Law and KU Law, as well as the chief justice in town. Really interesting discussion those guys can have with all the experience they all have. Specific death penalty cases, ones the judge presided over, etc. Second year I got to do it, always a good time.

[34iplaw]

PT 74 game just wrecked me... I'm not even sure why... I didn't even find the 4th game that hard... I think I got screwed over b/c I forgot that the O->P thing is specific to a given rug...which made the game unfathomably similar.

Just really stupid.

RC -5
EXP LR -4//-2
LR 1 -1//-1 (stupid glass question)
LG -5//-1
LR 2 -2//-1

87/101 168// 92/101 172

really just beyond irritated but I guess it's not the end of the world for literally bombing games. sigh.

Prime-- Had something similar in mind.
