If you want, literally just look at one like on Friday just for a few mins. It's really not worth looking at for long.

I did practice essays at the very beginning of my studies. I had a Barron preptest book that outlined a formulaic approach and after doing it a few times I was writing out essays in like 15 minutes. lmfao. I'd say it's a good idea to at least give it a look over just so you know what you're getting into, but it's seriously nothing to stress over. Think of it as a victory lap.

Just finished PT77 in sections:

RC: -3
LR: -2
LG: -3
LR2: -1
-9 -> 172

3 mistakes are just plain stupidity (the ones that are so obvious in review that I simply don't understand how I managed to get it wrong the first time) so I'd like to think that I have the capability of going 175. But already thinking about retaking Dec just cos I don't believe I can pull a flawless performance on test day, and I still want that 175+ SO MUCH.

[galeatus]

Gonna start a panic scream train cos I think it'll be healthy to let dat pressure out a bit.

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Good, feeling a bit better now.

[Instrumental]

Just found this blog. Seems to be pretty popular so I'm guessing a lot have seen it already.

I think this person would burn a lot of law schools to the ground if he could manage. lmao.

[tofuspeedstar]

I looked at the finished 78 on my desk and I gave in and graded it.

Tied my highest score to date...2 in LR2 I changed from the right answer to incorrect and would've netted me a new high score...Gonna review it tomorrow...and just a lot of misreading in general on most questions I missed..

So ending on a high note.

Just went -5 on the RC for PT 51. Freaking the fuck out. Idk what happened, I felt really good about it.

[ashrice13]

I was fine, calm and confident the past 2 days about this weekend. But now I'm starting to freak out and worry

Oh my god

Have you been meditating? I know you talked about it before...if not, that might help. I think that a little bit of nerves is healthy and actually constructive for test day. You just want to get rid of the "freak out" feeling. the way I do that best is simply by distracting myself when I start feeling it. Meditation is a really healthy way to do that if it works for you

Checking over rn, and these are the dumbest fucking mistakes. I should've gone -2, max. Maybe it's because I took it at 6am without a warmup? Or maybe I'm gonna flunk. Who knows.

I went -6 in 51 RC which is the lowest I've gotten in months. And they were really dumb mistakes. Idk what it is about that PT

Ok, new and (likely) final plan for Saturday.

Wake up at 4am. Shower, shit, shave, eat, maybe coffee. 6am, start warmup. Do full RC and full LG sections, as well as the last half of an LR section. Finish around 7:30 or 7:45. Head over to testing center (5 minutes away) and pray to the heavens.

I've also decided that I'm not applying this year, so here's my thought for retaking: if I get under a 175, retake in December at my current university. If I get under a 175 again, do an intensive semester of studying at the university I will be at next semester, sitting for the June test. Then, call it a day.

[carasrook]

i'm reaaaaal ready to get this test over with, y'all

Cara you ready to KILL IT this Saturday???

SO ready!!! hbu? how're you feeling?

[20170322]

Considering registering for the December LSAT rn, for 2 reasons.

1, it would lessen my stress and help me think of it as a practice test.

2, my test center is likely gonna be full before September scores come out, so I'd sort of be buying an insurance policy.

I did one last night. They seem all super formulaic, and, apparently, you actually get really limited space. I think it's just one page back and front. You can bang it out in like 15 minutes or 20 minutes pretty easily. I think you just spend 5 minutes picking your side and roughly what you want to say, like a brief outline.

Then spend 15 or 20 minutes banging it out and snooze for the last ten.

I'm just doing (probably)

Intro - pick side and state two metrics/goals

weighing in on goal/metric one (one that seems less critical if there is one or the one that doesn't allow for as emphatic of a case)

weighing in on goal two (the one that is more critical if there is one or the one that allows for the more emphatic case)

conclusion / intro the deux

Oh, just don't blindly write. If you aren't sure about spelling, just use a synonym. I don't think there's any advantage to dropping your favorite four syllable word that you can't spell correctly.
