Just bought the 3 most recent PT's. Gonna take them in the next week or so, so that I go into test day with an accurate idea of what the test will look like.

If only 1 pt of 73 or 78 can be taken, which one should it be?

[Mikey]

I'm in way too many fucking pre-med classes for someone that's definitely going into law.

Why, bro?

That, my friend, is a bloody good question.

My dude, I've been switching in and out of classes for the past few days and finally have an easy schedule. Why are you torturing yourself?!?!?!? lol I just need credits to reach the credit requirements so I have a bunch of BS electives.. If you're in the same position I'm in.. be like me... be TheMikey. See what I did there? nah? iight coo

Sadly I still have half of my 60 credit degree to finish, and everything is full. (although if I were in your position, I would assuredly be TheMikey.) I've got a good few days to switch things around though, so hopefully I can work something out where I don't have to memorize all of the nervous system for the fifteenth time.

Psych (non-neuroscience ones unless you actually like science) and sociology classes. Not only are they interesting (most at least imo are), but they're easy GPA boosters. Go for those bruh. And, you're applying next cycle right? Since you're a junior, or are you going to get WE

Started PT69 and in the middle of LR1 I got a sick feeling. I was all fine but then out of no where I just felt nauseous af, idk if it was something I ate or what.

Going to just chill out and do the PT tomorrow instead, no biggie. Might do some RC later if I'm feeling up to it.

[tofuspeedstar]

lol Mikey nevermind. I tanked that comparative passage on 70 too. Missed all but the first one on the initial run through.



LR1: -9
RC: -14 (LOL FML)
LG: -2 (Q5/Q12)
LR2: -7

157 actual

LR1: -7
RC: -6
LG:-2 (same q5/q12..I didn't even check 12)
LR2: -0 (Happy about this doe)

167 BR


If I can see a 164+ on the actual exam I'll be elated. I'll be able to get into both my top choices w/ $$$

69 tomorrow. I also took the past week or so off and did jack shit LSAT related except review the 7sage core curriculum and LSAT trainer. NO drilling or PTs of any sort cause I was tired af. But these last 3 weeks it's going down 7 days a week. Have PT 69, 62, 71, 75, 77, 78 left before the real deal.

Also I was kinda out of it because there's no proctor out there that allows for the accommodations I've been granted for this exam..so I used the 7sage + a phone timer and that might've thrown me off a bit as well.

edit: Just dropped $90 on 7sage to get the explanations to 75/77/78

Yeah I think I got like -3 or -4 on that comp passage during timing. Like I said, I didn't find the 2 passages to be hard, I thought they were pretty straight forward actually, the questions were just tough.

Dropped the ball on PT #73:

RC: -2
LR: -5
LG: -4
LR: -4
Score: 168

Could tell during the first section that the test was not going to go well (though it was ironically my best section). I felt like every section I was running out of time and rushing at the end, which has not really been an issue lately. I'm not sure if I was just in a bad head space from burnout, or if it was a hard test, or what. But I'm pretty bummed out about it. I think I just need to take a break and get my mind of LSAT for a day.

Is this really happening in 3 weeks?

[proteinshake]

did the first half of PT 63 today:

LR -2 (missed an easy one and had to rush the other one)
LG -1 (made a dumb mistake, did the right work then circled the wrong answer)

feeling really good. took the past three days off and did nothing LSAT related (except getting on TLS of course ) and now I feel completely recharged. if anyone else experiences a dip in scores, I highly recommend taking 2 or 3 days off.

Nice work protein! Yeah last weekend I took 3 days off to move into my new apartment and galavant around the city and I came back super re-charged feeling motivated to crush the test

And just skimming through 78....the LR stims are so long........I'm guessing that's what the current test will entail.

Here comes the weekend: tacos, drinks, LSAT, rinse and repeat.

My secret: get old, have kids, fall asleep halfway through second drink.

[Rupert Pupkin]

New record in LG -- went -1 today. Super pumped!

THose games are! Have you played 'Cards Against Humanity'? Sooo funny

[ashrice13]

Due to many events that I can't get out of, no LSAT yesterday, today, or tomorrow. I know it's probably good because during my Last PT I felt really drained by the end (more than normal) so I need the break. But I can't stop thinking about how I need to do LSAT stuff instead of whatever else I'm doing (granny's 80th birthday be damned). I can't take 3 whole days off....one day is fine but not three.

Guys...I think I'm addicted to the LSAT

PT 73 -- LETS GOOOOO!

If you can only take one, take one as a timed PT, take the other as timed sections.

ETA - I haven't taken 78 yet, so can't speak to its "difficulty."

Alka seltzer and a liter of water before bed the night of your debauchery. A nice greasy homemade bacon and egg sandwhich the following AM. You're welcome.

[Mikey]

Hopefully I can get through PT69 today without any interruptions! Going to have some breakfast, do 2 RC passages that I've had sitting around for a while, and then get into PT69

[Pozzo]

Attempted the infamous mauve dinosaurs yesterday. I think its reputation is well-earned. I got the setup alright, but screwed up one of the rules. Got lucky, though, and only missed one as a result of that.
