Hey guys, I'm going off the grid for a few days. Sooooo I just wanted to wish you the best of luck on Saturday! You've obviously been working your cabooses off for this. You're ready to kill it!!!!!

Please do something delightfully indulgent for yourself tomorrow and force yourself to eat enough on Saturday even if you're not hungry.

See you on the other side <3 <3 <3

Put your pencils in your pocket, your watch on your wrist, and carry your admission ticket. Fill your ziploc with a gallon of chicken noodle soup. Snack and beverage all in one.

Where is the acceptable items list for the gallon bag? I need to do that too
It should be with your printed out ticket.

Also- any one have more ideas for filling food that doesn't spoil and fits in a gallon bag?
Nature Valley Almond Butter bars. 190 calories and you can eat it in a minute. it has almond butter which can melt but just don't leave it in your car with the AC off or something and you're good.
Also 11 g protein Nature Valley bars. 180 or 190 calories, very filling, chocolate but I've never had melting issues.
And - cliff bars.

My aunt looked over my shoulder when I was doing a logic game one time back in the day, and then told me she saw that the LSAT was testing my knowledge about society, instead of just law codes, and that was good to see. I just smiled and nodded.

Just did an old PT, went -2 on RC in 27 minutes. The two mistakes were dumb, but it's better than -5.

I need to remember that even if I go -3 on RC, then -2 on LR, that's still probably a 176+, which is basically indistinguishable from a 180. Can't let the perfect prevent the good.

Sleep well, be confident, and don't get thrown off by weird games/passages - it'll always just be a combination of things that you've seen before!

You guys are gonna absolutely crush this!!

Studying powerscore's RC Bible helped refine my focus. Tracking viewpoints and never moving on in a passage without understanding what you just read and how it relates to the whole helps me most.

Whenever I can, I try to pre-phrase the answer quickly before I read the answer choices, and I read through all the answer choices before double checking the text if I double check it at all. And I make sure not to rush. The last rc where I was haemorrhaging points was in part because I tried to rush reading the last section so that I could get all the questions in on time. Doesn't work! Always better to get a solid understanding of the text and that will let you pick up the pace for the questions.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
