The most difficult questions are really destroying all my confidence in LR. I'm starting to read over questions and I get why I missed them, but the logic doesn't make sense to me on impulse reading the question and stem.

I'm about to start SA packet. Plan to run through a bunch of packets today then get to Most Difficult...

Sfogs you're a total basic bitch with your uggs

I know, right?

Concerned lurker here.

Plz keep the posts on-T lest this wonderful thread get LOUNGED.

Also you are all wonderful human beings. Sfogs, I will be your personal cheerleader for Febs. Did you register at Queens?

Also, also - Post-LSAT extravangaza/NY-pub crawl for TLSers who kill it in Febs! Something to look forward to.

Yay! Insert excited Gossip Girl gif! (I'm on my phone rn)

I registered at Pace. Fingers are so crossed. Felt like Queens would be too far, and this way I can take the subway, which might temper my nerves, since I go by Fulton every day on my commute to work.

Anyone else who has taken almost all the PTs get serious déjà vu when taking the remaining few? I'm beginning to think LSAC entirely recycles some prompts. Yes? No?

[Dr. Nefario]

I was only able to complete 37 "most difficult" questions before some chick kicked me out of the study room I was in. Apparently you can reserve them...weird. Anyways, I got 25/37 right, so -12. I don't know how I feel about this. Someone either encourage me or tell me I suck at life and to give up law school.

Yep: high cholesterol, dinosaur extinction, birds, smoking, moral actions, and advertisements for sketchy products.

I mean, it's not like you did 37 "easiest questions." Review the shit outta them and take something away from each one, making it time well spent. You got dis RR

As someone who is in the middle of going through that shit for the 2nd time, don't worry. Those questions are hard af. And, they're older, so a lot of the question stems dont even exist anymore. When you get in the middle of it your score increases. Its inevitable

god dammit, I drilled 2 older LR sections like PT 19 and 2X and went 22/25 and 21/25.
I hate those older question stems.

Are the LR questions from the newer tests (60+) easier than the older ones?

Same difficulty, I'd say. Just the stems from a long time ago dont exist and are now replaced by more assumption and "what line logically finishes the stimulus?" types of questions

If you really wanna break down, it probably looks more or less like this:

Old LR~New LR
Old LG>>New LG
Old RC<<New RC

It depends on your preferences.
The older ones tend to be longer winded with easier answer choices, but the newer ones are shorter but with trappier answer choices. Or at least that's the CW.

Yeah, I prefer the newer LR lol. Just got to keep in mind that there will be really hard questions spread out so adjust your timing accordingly. Thank goodness LR is half your score. Wouldve sucked if RC was 2 sections.

[Smallville]

sooo shiz just got realll.... LSAC just emailed me reminding me how close the test is -_-
also just realized I still need a picture for my ticket

[msp8]

So I'm a little late to start drilling, I know, but general question on it: is it better to look at a question, solve it, then look to Manhattan forums for the discussion/answer immediately? Or drill the whole packet, then look at forums?

My rationale for the former is to actively improve throughout the drilling.

Thoughts?

[msp8]

Fair. Thanks!

Wait is X<<Y mean X is harder or easier than Y? Also where would you qualify the new versus old. I mean I've only done PTs 50+ for the most part so I'm pretty sure I'm mostly in the new, but I'm curious on your opinion on this.

LR hardest? Maybe I should do those? *scratches head*

Still trying to make -0 on LG consistent, but I've seriously done EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. like ten times. I just make dumbass mistakes when under the pressures of testing.

Anyone finish the RC hardest? I'm still working on that. Leftover from September. HA!
