Just submitted an app to spend next year in the Netherlands!

Def takes pressure off of this Saturday.

Congrats!! That's gotta feel good.

Yeah! What feels less good is that I have 3 midterms the Tuesday after the LSAT.

UGH RC kicked my ass today. -8 and five of the missed ones were all from the last passage. Looking back at it, I definitely think that it having increased detail and definition focused questions threw me off. I like science passages, but I was having a bit of trouble keeping track of everything I think. I felt like I wasn't performing well that whole section though. It sucked.

PT76
LR: --6
AR: -1 (Game three slowed me down a ton, but board splitting kept me in it)
RC: -8
Score: 168

omg this sucks I thought I was over bombing RC. ugh,

How often do you guys find yourselves having background knowledge of the passage during RC? I'm a bio major so it happens fairly often on scientific sections for me.

Usually. I read a lot about a lot of diferent things.

Take a break. You're burnt out.

You are most certainly right. I spent all day yesterday studying, doing old AR and LR problems and felt pretty sluggish before I even started the test this morning Gonna just review this test and then force myself to not do anything LSAT related for the rest of the day.

That's such a scary prospect SweetTort. Depending on how I feel throughout the rest of the week, I'll consider it.

As Spivey said: "The hay is in the barn".

[Instrumental]

Oh gosh, all the conventional wisdom and LSAT geniuses say I should chill with the studying. PT 77 and 78 are just going to be staring me right in the face the whole time. My concern isn't so much adding more hay into the barn, it's having hay leave it! >_< I'll tone it down for the rest of the week. Won't go as hard as I had planned.

[thatlawlkid]

To PT or not to PT tomorrow morning. That is the question...
Everyone seems so pro toning it down but like, what if i get really stupid over the next 4 days? It could happen

I like untimed. I can do that. Also would (hopefully) give me a better score than if timed, therefore bumping my confidence. WOOOO

That's my concern too. Definitely toning down prep but I'm not gonna drop it completely, because I'm worried things will go downhill, as has been the case after breaks for me in the past.

[Mikey]

But tell me how Alex is about to drop the most fire 177 of the year

These TTTTTTT law schools need to chill.

[Mikey]

These TTTTTTT law schools need to chill.

"Good luck from Ave Maria law "

NO

E: the worst part is. They said I can contact them for LSAT advice. Like, wtf you think this is cuz. I'll take some advice from a homie down at hahvahd tho

[thatlawlkid]

These TTTTTTT law schools need to chill.

You mean to tell me a half ride to Arizona summit law doesn't get you all hot and bothered?

It scares me more than anything, because I don't want to end up at one of these schools.

So, I got some motivation today that's helping me get pumped for this test that maybe will resonate with some of you, or maybe you'll think it's fuckin' dumb.

I am hoping to score in the mid 170s. Anything other than that, for me personally, would be a disappointment, just due to my personal goals, my current PT average, and the fact that I'm retaking from a 169 over three years ago. So when PT 78, which I really looked forward to killing, turned out to be quite a bit lower than I hoped/expected, I got reeeaaal discouraged. And I felt like the odds of squandering my progress this upcoming Saturday had risen considerably. I get the sense that others in this thread maybe are feeling similarly?

But then, today, a friend reminded me that the Cleveland Cavaliers came back from 3-1 to win the NBA Finals. Our shitty PTs seem like the end of the line. But they're not, as long as you know that you're clutch af.

(Also, if you love the Warriors, this motivation will literally have the opposite effect...so please disregard and instead refer back to 2015).
