How are you feeling, YP? Ready to kill it on Saturday?

As ready as I'll ever be. This is my last shot, so I may as well make it count. Either way, it feels good to know that I'll be done with the LSAT forever after this week lol. I took 73 yesterday as a 5 section PT, and I got a 91 raw compared to 84 the first time. A little discouraging, but at least it's some improvement. I really hope we don't see another RC section like 73 on test day. Same goes for that insane LR2. I'm just going to try my best to not stress out over the next few days. How about you?

That's good to hear. You have an insane amount of experience with this test, and you're likely better prepared than any of us. 73 was a rough test. We know that. But having been through it, we're ready for whatever 74 will throw our way.

Onward and upward.

I just got uno's username.
I always read it as "undo stress" aka "under stress"
Gosh I'm dumb.

You're not the only one. Even after I found out what it was, I still read it as undo stress.

Same. Just goes to show where our minds are.

As a fellow third-timer, we got this.

And I'm kinda nervous waking up today. Pls tell me someone else is kinda blah as well?

Yup. Can't tell if it's the weather (it's rainy). Or if it's...stress.

Same. I am way less nervous than last time, but I'm kinda nervous today for sure. And last night while I was trying to fall asleep (in that half-asleep half-awake state) I was legitimately coming up with and solving my own logic games and LR questions in my head.

Koala - I was doing this this morning! I think it was my mind saying "Shaq, gtfo of bed and do some drills" and my sleepy self saying "Yo mind, calm down, I got dis. Solve these in the meantime."

I thought 73 was quite normal when I finished it and was wondering why so many people said it was difficult. Then I scored it. OMGWTF! PT 73 as confidence destroyer is no joke! my break down: RC -8, LG 0, LR -4 + -4. I am seriously questioning my RC strategy now. Did anyone perform well on this test?

[unodostres]

tbh, i thought rc was tame. just the lr and the last game kinda tripped me up.

your lr isn't that bad considering the how hard it was. what passages gave you trouble? im assuming the photo one?

[Webpolice]

Anybody else just fapping away all of their anxiety? That's been working out pretty well for me so far.

whats that science behind NOT fapping for testosterone buildup to keep your mind sharp or something like that? or is it the opposite

Yeah, that's mostly flame. I definitely think faster when I abstain for a few days, but in the world of LSAT nitpicky bullshit, faster =/= better.

HAHAHAHAHA, "Nitpicky bullshit" I like that.....

[koala-fy]

Did the LG from PT63. It was completely fresh. Went -1. I'm happy because that last game is weird but I stayed calm (not easy for me) and only lost one point.

I also did PT68 in sections. It's a retake (took it almost 3 months ago), but I'm still allowing myself to use it as somewhat of a confidence boost.
RC: -0
LR1: -2
LR2: -1
LG: -1
178

The last two games on 68 are rough. I hope we don't get a monster like that last one...

3 days

I took the LSAT in September, obviously didn't go as well as I would have liked or else I wouldn't be here- but should I take PT73 again today or tomorrow? I heard its a confidence killer. Or should I just break it apart and do it section by section and stick with the June 2014 or December 2013 test for the last PT of the week?

I've been trying to do a PT every day in addition to reviewing them closely (obviously) and some individual sections.

What do we think?

Checkin in. PT72 today with full blind review. Gonna also drill LG PT 60-64. Good luck to everyone today! I heard that LG4 on PT72 is fun times, so that'll be interesting.

Don't freak out over 72 game 4. I can see how it might have thrown people off on test day, but it's really not a difficult game. Just a bit unusual.

Speaking of, where is unusual?

[scandk]

What are you guys aiming for, by section? I mean, ideally, we'd -0 everything, but...

I'm shooting for

-0/1 LG
-3/4 LR
-3/4 RC

Assuming -11 curve, 172-175.

Ideally, if I have enough chi to go SS4, -0 LG, -3 LR, -2 RC on a -14 test for a 178. Right now I'll settle for super saiyan anything tho (over 170).

-0/2 LR, -1/2 RC, -3/4 LG (I'm one of those dudes who just can't get -0 in LG, I've still hit the 170s but I always lose points in LG because it takes me 20 years to make an inference, if I see one at all)

[GreenTee]

I'm just hoping my -27 RC is mitigated by -0s in LR/LG.

[secadc11]

Realistically, hoping:

-0/-1 LG
-4/-7 LR (I mean I would die of joy if I went -3 or less)
-2/-4 RC

It was Game 1 that threw me off. I got so mad I crumpled my paper up. Fourth game was very similar to one in the past. I forget which one.

Also, lol @ the -27 RC, GT. High five for illiteracy!
