Feeling really disheartened and as if I'm progressively getting worse at LR. Did the first LR section of PT 48 today in 32 mins and went -10. Like wtf man, this is bullshit. How do I go from going -3 on a section, to -6 to -10. This is so frustrating I swear I hate this shit.

honestly you might be like me and tend to do worse on older LR sections. I'd wait to see if this is the case after you take your PT this week (I think you said you were IIRC), assuming you're taking a more recent one (52+)

Idk if it's because I'm worse at older LR since the majority of my LR drilling/knowledge is from PT 21-40. But I'm hoping that this was just a fluke, idk man that shit just pissed me off because I was only ehh on 2 questions and then that happened, like wtf lol.

Yeah I'm taking PT 60 or 61 on Friday.

it's a fluke. I went -10 on RC on like the 5th PT I took. happens to everyone!

I'm just like "damn this freaking sucks, what a waste of an LR section". Hoping it was a fluke. Debating on whether I should go home and do the second LR section or LG. Thinking of doing LR just to see if it was truly a fluke or if I'm just losing my touch.

Had a rough couple of PTs, 170 and and 173 after averaging 175 for the previous 8 tests.

Just hit 175 on PT 39 even after blowing the RC (-4) due to post-lunch sluggishness. I feel like what makes the difference in my sections between a -3/-4 vs a -1/-0 is my attitude, whether I'm alert and focused, whether I'm attacking the questions and moving with pace. I finished my LR2 section with 6 minutes to spare, and did much better than many sections where I worked right up to time.

Gave the memory method a try on a dry section and went -15 on RC 10... said screw that and went back to my methods for RC 12 and went -2. Not trying at all to discredit it but it's probably a bad idea to radically change my plan of attack at this stage in the game hahaha.

Just ripped an LR and went -5 and that RC. Gonna try to write one of the newest PTs tomorrow, because I think I've seen at least partial parts of the tests that I've done so far, so hoping this PT tomorrow will be completely fresh.

Man Noguchi you sculpting bastard. Gonna BR 59 tonight or tomorrow.

Searched through all of my old LSAT materials and discovered that I have ~6 somewhat-recent and untouched PT's... it's like Christmas.

Having some dinner and then going to attack the shit out of PT 48's second LR section. If I do as bad as I did earlier, I'm going to flip out.

eta: OR instead of flipping out, I'll just emotionally destroy a bunch of sequencing games to feel better about myself.

Why does watch go past 35 min mark?

I'd guess so it can work for extra time people.

How many times do I have to poast before this thread goes to 180

Yeah, or for people who use it during prep to try and decrease timing over time.

Orr it could just mean you are burned out and need to chill out for a day or two and be back and good. I took a day or two off RC, did the memory method lesson (thanks for the suggestion & advice) and BOOM I had a good RC day today!

Nice! I'm glad it's all working out for you. Honestly, I might be burned out, but idk..

Yeah, I agree. You've been working and had an off day yesterday with the migraine and whatnot. I think that might have just had you out of your element. I'm sure it is just a fluke. There's no way you suddenly forgot how to do LR, you got this!

No way you forgot! Sometimes you just have an off day and that's that.

Haha! The 180 page might not exist... Whoever gets it will have the blessing of the LSAT Gods!
