Christ, just 164'd PT79. Not what I wanted to end my studying on. Only positive was that I got everything right on the virus game.

Edit: scratch that, 163

Shake it off. My final PT before Sept was significantly lower than my actual score. You got this.

O understand this is a weird and delicate subject but GIRLS PLS HELP A SISTA OUT.

Mother Nature decided to show me how much it hates me and also to let me know I am not pregnant, the week of the LSAT. I have absurd cramps during the first few days and has have it for a couple days, but I'm scared it'll linger until test day (which is in two days lol).

Has anyone taken the test with cramps?! How'd you manage or what advice would you have, besides taking lots of medicine and the usual drill?

As someone who did well on 78 the day before the September test, I can assure you it isn't indicative of test day performance!

holy fuck that last virus game on PT79 really screwed me. Im usually solid with LG (-0) and completely wiffed on that game. Now i am super nervous. Was hoping to improve on my 163 and I've been PTing around 168ish recently up until this last PT really screwed me cuz I missed 5 questions on that final game. I feel so shocked IDk what to do

Barry just sent me an email with some very useful last minute LSAT tips lol

Just review the game, understand it, and reflect on your approach. A good thing to keep in mind when encountering a new game is to just stick to applying the rules, don't stress too much on inferences immediately, and don't be afraid to slow your mind down to better process the scenario. The virus game for instance is essentially a sequencing game that can be split into multiple boards. Once you do so, it becomes much less daunting. The LSAT tries to trip us up with new types of scenarios. I had the same reaction with game 4 on pt 72. When you get past the fact that the concept is new, the problems really aren't particularly difficult. It's just a matter of collecting yourself and not getting psyched out.

Is PT72 the game with the J to M M to J type of rules? I had no problem with that game. Reviewing PT79 game 4 right now and I see how I fucked up lol I didnt realize that the game pieces dont repeat, If I realized they only get infected once I dont think i wouldve done so badly!

How much are you guys focusing on Misc games? Specifically, if you had access to the Cambridge drill packets - the misc. game set from 1-38. They just seem too weird to appear on the test and are quite honestly a n n o y i n g.

Went halfway through the packet, idk if I wanna finish it.

I've been focusing on translating thing into a visual language. I went -2 on the virus game in September and was lucky, at that. My problem was I had only been practicing sequencing, in/out, grouping, and hybrid, and had no experience diagramming an odd ball game like the computer virus game.

Barry fucking called me the other day, like I didn't want to be rude and I guess I appreciate their care(?) but, I already get 99 emails a day from them I don't need them to call me.

Got a call from an Irvine area code so I picked it up thinking "oh UC Irvine, noice". Turns out it was fucking concordia, in Boise.

I thought it's not that long?

PT 71 RC -2, One was sort of silly... other was the last question in mirrors...wasn't a huge fan of 'clarify'...

Good luck to everyone, including the Sept retakers like me. 180! Why not me?

Hey lets talk about the most important thing about Saturday. What's everyone's breakfast plan? I'm getting up at 6:30 making bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, toast and still debating on a cup of coffee.

Then I'll feed my brain at 7:30 with 10 handpicked Flaw/Parallel LR q's , 2 reading passages (just going to read them a few times no Q's), and the virus game from September (which I've mastered at this point).

Also going with 2 chocolate Cliff protein bars for the snack.

Then at the test center (Which I'll try to arrive to 10-15 minutes early, last time got there way early and lost a bit of my adrenaline). I'll bring my all time favorite LG game (Cookie game from the 40's), and probably Eileen passage just to read over a couple of times, and maybe one other RC passage just in case I have a ton of time.

Not focusing on them at all. Just going to make sure that if one shows up I stay calm, don't get flustered, and stick to the same methodology I use for the other games.

Wake up between 6-6:30
Have some oatmeal or a bowl of cereal.
Shower
Do a recent LG section.
Head to test center and chill til game time.

I was in no mood for snacks back in September, also my test center had a bunch of muffins for people to eat so I might grab one if I happen to have an appetite.

I'll get up around 6 or so. Shower. Do some basic LG and maybe a passage / few LR questions... not much. ~20 min at most. McGriddle. Not going to show up insanely early, because I showed up "early" last time and just sat there forever.

McGriddle.

Noooo, I'm so sorry, this was my worst nightmare. Hopefully the cramps will have died down significantly by the time of the test. Do you normally take meds? Does that help you? I don't think it could hurt to take a couple of Advil or something. Other than that, I don't know what you could really do besides trying to put all your focus and energy into the test Hopefully once you get started, you'll be too busy to notice anything else (and your body will realize you're on the same side here!!)
