Was tempted to vote Cooley given their prestige but decided to settle for NYU, oh well.

I'm surprised Northwestern has its own category but Penn is grouped with the bottom of the T14. anti-Penn trolling detected :lol:

This morning got around to -
1 RC set (lol),
set of 5 advanced linear games (34 min, -0; a bit slow this morning, and i'm worried i'm becoming too familiar with some of these) + 1 other AL game,
The rest of the Inference questions timed - got them all but went over time.

I think Inference questions trip me up a bit because of the lack of conclusion + support. I'm going to try to consistently underline words indicating amount (some, all, etc). Shouldn't be having to re-read the stem a bunch of times, huge time sink.

Planning to get through another ch. of M. LR and 20-30 timed questions in the airport/plane, another bunch of LG, and whatever else I have the mental stamina for.

Yesterday the power was out at my office all day so I got paid to stay at home and study! :)

First real session since getting the LG Bible in the mail. Starting from scratch and getting more familiar with the fundamentals through drilling instead of just diving into the games seems to be really helpful for me. I can already see ways that being more comfortable with the real basic stuff is going to make the games easier and the "big picture" more accessible.

Also still polishing up personal statements for my "diagnostic" applications for FA16 with my June score... which at this point is hard to drum up the motivation for, and seems like a distraction from studying for September.

Lmao, I started reading the first sentence and said "WAIT, I MUST SHARE THIS WITH HIM BEFORE I GO ON", mentioned it to you and then proceeded to get it right lol. All of the wrong A/C's didn't even follow or make any type of sense with the stimulus.

Let us know how that works! I've been doing that for LG too and it's worked quite well, but I've been staying away from repeating RC since I wasn't sure if it would do any good.

Did someone steal your shades?

Get some clubmasters. They'd look sick.

Kind of irritated. Went 55/60 on the type 7 MP/MC questions. I drew over and erased all of my work so I can't read my previous markings. I'll go back to them later and trying to reason through them a bit more thoroughly.

Need to eat. Then type 8. Need to be productive to day.

How are you going about making these packs? It seems like it would be time consuming.

Do any of the prep companies offer like randomized packs? I feel like that would be awesome. I would imagine that they possibly could offer them as they already pay to distribute the questions? I kind of doubt anyone would pay for whatever such an app or website would cost per pack though.

I got the Cambridge RC packets and made randomized sets of 4, 1 per subject with randomized difficulty.

Been a while since I checked in. Hope everyone had a nice Independence Day.

Just finished PT44 (October 2004).

Section 1 (RC): -5

Section 2 (LR): -9, after blind review: -4

Section 3 (LG): -9, got the first 13 right, ran out of time and guessed for the rest

Section 4 (LR): -7, after blind review, -4

Composite score: 156

Blind Review score: 161

Slowly improving on LG. section 2 of LR was unusually bad so hopefully it was just a fluke. I also only blind reviewed the LR sections so far.

If I were to attend NYJew (I'm allowed to say that because I'm part of the glorious overrepresented minority itself) or Columbia I could fulfill my destiny of living in my parents' basement in my late 20s. Although that would destroy my social life and chances of ever finding a woman I'd save so much money in rent!

Haha same.. If I went to either of those 2 schools, I could live with family without paying rent, which would save tons of money. Not saying that if given the opportunity to go out of state to a great school, I wouldn't go, because I would depending on the scenario. But personally, I'd rather stay close to family while in lawl school so NYU or C is the desired outcome.

Anyone who took the June LSAT getting an overwhelming number of emails from a bunch of unknown law schools telling you that you'd be a great candidate to start this Fall? Like bruh, chill.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
