Maybe we should all chip in for a dog sled & some Alaskan sled dogs. We can use them as therapy dogs too. It's a win-win.

Yeah, I think we just get score and percentile.

They dont disclose the curve?

Nope, as far as I can figure out from googling.

The first rule of February LSAT is you do not disclose anything about February LSAT.

Gamerish, if it's an in/out game or a grouping game where the rule is about which variables can be together, not about what group they can be in, you just do if X, then not Y notation. Otherwise I don't know, I use subscripts.

Question: do you think there'd be any value in reading through Manhattan RC to try to fix my RC skills this close to game day? I've never read an RC guide aside from stuff on the internet and I've been hovering at -4 RC pretty much ever since I've started prepping. I could go get it from B&N and read it after PTing tomorrow, but I can't decide if that would be time better spent on drilling RC.

Yeah. No subscripts needed in in/out games.
If A is in, it's A.
If A is out, it's /A.

Enjoy those massive conditional chains. In/outs are fun. It will def take you awhile until formal logic becomes easy though.

Probably the easiest game type once you get the hang of it

It's not going to hurt - I say go for it.

It's a really quick read. I've read it before and I plan to skim it one of these days as well. Can't drill/BR all the time -- good to read that on a break.

Idk what happened on today's PT, but I totally dropped the ball on the first half of RC. Missed 6 of the first 12 questions and then only missed 1 on the latter 15 questions....wtf.

165 on PT 69 today. Really disappointed because I got a 176 on the blind review. It's not even that I was pressed for time, I finished every section under 35 mins. Insanely dumb mistakes (like some incorrect answers on the first 10 LR questions-dumb). I was trying to push the pace on the first 10-12 LR questions and that totally backfired on me. I'm going to take another PT tonight and take it a little slower.

So frustrating

Thanks everybody! I'll go pick it up and give it a try.

Re: double arrows- I <3 biconditionals, they make everything easier. No need to figure out when the sufficient condition triggers, it just always does. Biconditionals for every game! Biconditionals for president.

And aww, m27 and nlee, shit happens. Don't let one blip get you down, just take a break, let your brain recover, and keep going.

I hear ya, I got like 1 or 2 wrong in my first 2 and then died the 3rd (slightly diff scenario since ur smurter than I)

ended up doing 2 sections of a test I started the other day... good move because it would have been a waste of a full PT if I tried, eyes are exhausted
