I took PT 59 today (which was the December administration I took and canceled).
I was rushed on RC and slightly on the LRs. Had two misbubbles on the second LR. I felt good about LG.
I don't have the scale for this one so if someone wouldn't mind, what is a -11 for this test?
I checked out my test center today. I think the room is pretty good and there's enough lighting. I am planning on leaving early on Saturday, especially because we are expected to get ice and snow the night before and all into Saturday. I think I'd like to have 30 minutes to sit and warm up on some material before I get into the line to register.
That link says -14 was a 170 for PT59, so you did really well then!
EDIT: I was able to find the full scale for you, and -11 is a 172. Congrats!
Yeah, I get those same feelings. Being back home has really helped me relax, but at the same time I still feel like anything could go wrong on Saturday and then it's all down the drain.CorkBoard wrote:Hey guys, I'm back. We are still reviewing tonight at 7 est in the manhattan room.
Another thing: Does anybody else go through periods where they're thinking "I can totally do this! LSAT, hooray!" and "Oh my god oh my god I'm so nervous!" I don't know anyone else who is taking this test besides the people here, so I wanted to ask.
I'm hoping I don't feel super nervous before I go in for the test. Any tips for dealing with this type of anxiety?
Resist the urge. Just keep sharp.CorkBoard wrote:Home stretch...getting kind of nervous, not gonna lie!
What is everybody doing with the time left to prep for Saturday?
I've been drilling LG but I'm trying to take it easy so I don't burn out...but I still really want to take a PT
Thanks for the advice. I am actually going to the gym tonight so I will feel refreshed. I drilled lots of games yesterday from cambridge. I'm doing the easy ones in 4-5 minutes, hope I can keep consistent with time and accuracy on Saturday.thelong wrote:Resist the urge.

Also, maybe get some exercise, meditate, do what you can to prevent test day anxiety. Start getting to bed a little earlier to be prepped for test day. Figure out your food/plastic bag, all that good stuff ahead of time.
My plan right now is similar. I'll drill several games and maybe one or two sections of LR and RC, but I probably won't do them timed and I may not even bother to check the answers, the point is just to stay sharp and to recuperate.
A watch wearing a watch?TheWatch wrote:Do any of you know what kind of watch I can wear?
It can be either leather or metal--just not digital or audible.TheWatch wrote:Thanks. Do you think it matters if I wear a leather band, or does it need to be metal?blue_c wrote:A watch wearing a watch?TheWatch wrote:Do any of you know what kind of watch I can wear?
Not digital. Any type of wound watch should be fine.
Drill LG. LG for 62 was shitty anyway. Pardon my French, but fuck the stained glass game.Mr.Binks wrote:Evening mates,
So the logic games on PT 62 shit on me. I know the test is on Saturday and many people advocate taking it easy the few days before, but I feel like I should take another PT in order to re-gauge where I am to (hopefully) make sure I'm not really unprepared for LG....
Anyone feel like I should take one or should I take it easy..?
I wouldn't do another PT but maybe some LGs by themselves.Mr.Binks wrote:Evening mates,

Take it easy. PT 62 is, in my opinion, perhaps the toughest PT out there. Between the October sitting and now my PT average was 176 and I ended up with a 167 on that PT when I took it on Monday coming off of a 178 and a 177 before it.Mr.Binks wrote:Evening mates,

I got my world rocked by PT 62 on the real thing. Sad day. Typical. I would pick what many argue is the hardest PT as my first sitting of the LSAT. I'd have to agree though. The LG (effin windows) and RC are brutal, and the LR aren't easy either. Hopefully I'm improved more from my young and naive days :-pthelong wrote:Take it easy.

Just forget that PT. The rest of your PT work is an accurate gauge of your readiness. Taking another PT now is not going to help unless you know you can take it and score very very well (and thereby relieve some of the stress caused by PT 62 and reestablish your confidence).
Just take it as a strong wake up call to not get complacent, to always work quickly and effectively and to attack the test.

Thanks! Yeah, I guess I'll drill with a few more sets of LG and hope that I rock those.CorkBoard wrote:Drill LG. LG for 62 was shitty anyway. Pardon my French, but fuck the stained glass game.Mr.Binks wrote:Evening mates,

That is about how much I plan to do. I don't think I will do RC warm up though.Mr.Binks wrote:Oops. One more question:
What do you guys think is a sufficient amount of "warm-up" questions to do in the morning? I was thinking about doing a RC passage, one LG, and 5 or so LR.
Too much?
