So totally random question - did anyone else actually take their diagnostic totally cold? Was looking through my first diagnostic, and there was some pretty creative/totally worthless stuff going on in LG

Yup. The TestMasters course I took makes you take a cold diagnostic (unless you did outside prep on your own previously). Cruelly enough, they made us take PT 62 (aka, stained glass windows). I did 0 prep and got a 143 on it, a crushing blow to morale and wasting a solid PT lololol

I was talked into a proctored Kaplan test about 20 hours before it happened maybe four or five years ago. Had to read the instructions for each section. 165.

I was a cold 151. Didn't know what the LR section was/that it would be there.

I wish I could join the bar crawl but I'll be celebrating a birthday that night. If I run into a group of wasted 20-somethings bitching about logic I'll know it's you. Y'all better have stories for us

It honestly kind of sucks. There's always something in the back of my mind saying, "Dude, you already know this." 167 in September proves I don't, but I think I get less out of studying because of it. I'm still having trouble hitting 170 consistently.

So since I had my house to myself I was about to head into my kitchen to do 73 and sure enough, my parents just get home from being away for the weekend... -_- so to the library I went, content since it was my original plan.... but oh no, they're doing construction today -_- couldn't win, so on break in my room. LR1 went okay I think, finished fast enough to allow me to run to the bathroom and still review 1 or 2 questions (would have killed me in LG if I didn't go, I realize not the best testing scenario but ok well) RC was iffy, can never tell with it lol and LG barely finished (guessed on last Q but I think it happened to be right)
LR2 coming up

I almost cried too.

I took a full PT yesterday after months of not studying. and got the same score as September administration. One word:

uh-oh.

LawsRUs · Post by **LawsRUs** » Sun Feb 01, 2015 5:15 pm

And it's problematic because today is superbowl and i'll probably end up watching that instead of 7sage. oops

On break from PTing. Doing 67, and LG is a redo but the other ones are fresh. I'll be done in time for the puppybowl!

Also NYC TLSers, I demand drunk PWs from the bar.

Superman- ngl, my legit biggest LSAT fear is having to go to the bathroom mid test. I went to the bathroom at my testing center like five times before December.

But the puppy bowl started an hour and a half ago!

Lol, wish I was in NY for this ... But still, my calendar has "LOL$AT GAME DAY" written down with "Turn up time!" written right below it... I can't wait for this to be over!

Is this really happening?! Am I invited?!!

Opposite. I have always underperformed with standardized testing, and given how absolutely impossible to Literature GRE is, I figured LSAT would be a disaster. Got a 164 and called my parents like, "I'm going to Harvard!!!" (I knew nobody who was attending law school who had scored so high.) Then I bought all the books, joined TLS and realized I was far, far away from scoring at Harvard-level.
