Just had an LG meltdown the likes of which I haven't had since like fucking October, and even worse than what I had on my real take in December (where I -5ed on LG). I didn't even get to the last game. Not sure what to chalk this up to, but definitely super discouraging, especially as my LG game has been really strong since I started studying for the retake.

I did the same thing on 71, but bounced back on more recent ones. While I feel like there's always a chance to run into that *one* section you can't deal with on game day the fact that you are killing it most of the time on LG is probably more indicative.

Definitely look at what went wrong, but try not to let one slip up get to you too much.

I've been going -0/-1 and finishing on time, even when drilling some more recent games. For some reason I just couldn't get my first game's rules and it messed me up, I took like 10 minutes longer on it than I should have. Ugh. Guess it's time to add more intense LG drilling to my schedule :/ I was so excited about my recent LGs too, I thought it was the mythical ~LG breakthrough~ and I finally had it.

Anyone taking PT 69 tomorrow?

Count me in for one more on that test tomorrow.

Sure, why not. I'll add it in too.

Thinking about it. Running short on recent tests though, part of me wants to hold some in reserve in case of a June retake.

I know what you mean. I've been keeping 72 and 74 in reserve. Part of me wants to buy them and do them, but I'm forcing myself to hold them back.

I finished the LG giving myself 10 minutes for the last game, since that's how much time I lost in the beginning from misreading the rules, and overall I ended up with... a 168, exactly my score in December. Welp.

Going to take a break and rethink my gameplan for the rest of the week.

[leslieknope]

Aw I'm sorry, Leslie! It sounds like you just had a hiccup. Don't let it shatter your confidence.

Thanks Rigo. I also just graded the LR that I retook from December, and I went -4 this time instead of -5.... except they were all different mistakes. I got every single one I missed in December right, and got 4 I got right in December wrong this time. I think I'm just writing off today, since none of this makes any sense otherwise.

[Yaaaas2013]

Went -0 in games in December but effed up RC( -12)... Idk what happened. Still testing out strategies but I think I should just aim to do the first three perfectly and leave the last one blank. Sigh

[msp8]

how do you normally score on RC?

[Smallville]

Wells its game day!!! (game-day b4 the real game day) and waking up as early as I planned did not go as expected.... tho I would still have plenty of time, just don't wanna move

[msp8]

yeah, I struggled with sleep last night. 5 hrs. Unpleasant.

[Smallville]

Yeah, the sleep thing got me too. I did my warm up, and right now I'm "waiting at my test center." AKA, I'm sitting in my library's 24 hour room until the Librarians open the whole library up at 9 AM so I can snag a seat and put on my 7sage proctor. I guess being on my laptop does not really simulate test day conditions...

lol atlas your up and waiting to get started, thats something at least, really missing my UG library right now lol, so many perfect places to test

[brusselsprouts]

I'm gonna do PT69 today too. Taking it proctored with a live class to hopefully simulate conditions as best I can

[NL2424]

[brusselsprouts]

What do you mean live class? And I'm doing 69 too!! Good luck on yours

Sorry sorry that wasn't clear I'm going to the BP live class (like the classroom class) today and doing a proctored exam with them.

Good luck Zac and everyone else!

Woke up a few minutes ago (6:30am here) but everyone is probably PT'ing already.

GL everyone!

Hey guys, I know this is random and off topic, but I didn't want to start my own threat for it.

I just got offered a spot as a research assistant for a journal publication. Is this an irrelevant soft for law school, or would it be worth doing?

[Rigo]

[Dr. Nefario]

Wish I was PTing with everyone. Good luck! I work this morning, drill this afternoon and PT tomorrow morning since I'm off.

It won't really help you at all with admissions, but it sounds like it could be a good experience, so why not?

Assuming you're working under a professor you could potentially get a good LOR out of it. And I think it would also be worth doing for the experience. Not everything has to be directed towards law school.
