which scorer is this? i am not sure if 7sage scorer lets you see how many people's stats you are comparing against.

[Rupert Pupkin]

I think if i end up retaking it's gonna be June.

Same

Just curious as to why? Don't think Dec is enough time and you valuable that over waiting a till next cycle?

iplaw is using Testmasters, so it's probably Testmasters.

want to be done with this test already. never want to look at another of its questions again, ever.

I really want to beat the RC section. I want to crush RC almost as much as I want to get a good score overall. lmbo.

[tskela]

tfw you finish a games section in 25 minutes, go -0 and seriously wonder whether something's wrong with your stopwatch

anxiety and lsat prep. a fun combo

[proteinshake]

definitive proof showing that, if you have a dip in scores, sometimes all you need is a break:

took a weekish long break and was back to normal

[appind]

If someone is feeling very confident about their LR skills, pt-73 LR does a good job of making one anxious again.

The thing about me is that when I feel mentally tired with this test, I just keep going anyways. I need to stop doing that, which is why I plan on not doing LSAT stuff tomorrow and might push in doing nothing all weekend actually, idk yet.

God, I know I probably need to do this, but taking a break scares me! Good job crushing those tests though, goddamn.

BRing PT76 right now (which is my lowest score in a few weeks @ 163) and I'm confident that it may be the hardest games section I've ever come across. G3 absolutely murdered me in October, and I ended up going 1/5 on it when I did it again last week fresh, but BRing it right now it took me ~20 minutes once I committed to template-ing it. Might be because I'm studying after work but meh not what you like to see at this stage.

Moral of the story (which I always forget about) is always template/sub-game board etc.

Going to go watch what's left of the SB rematch then hit the hay before I take my rest day tomorrow. Hopefully posting with a 170 after I rip PT 71 on Saturday.

yeah I had some cousins over and literally just had fun for like 5 days. barely thought about the LSAT. good to refresh the mind once in a while. but my LSAT schedule is much more lax than most others' anyway. I PT twice a week and aside from BR and a a few sections, I don't do anything else.

honestly I'm playing video games more than I'm LSAT studying.

I have serious doubts about being able to handle a full semester of classes + ECs / job / other responsibilities + LSAT at the same time. can't afford to have the LSAT compromise my gpa. December would be a particularly awkward/stressful time in that it's right before finals but idk if Feb would be much better. June is further away than I'd like, but I'd be able to potentially have a full month of nothing major but the LSAT if I planned it right, which would be really nice. I'm not applying for a couple years so I've got time, fortunately.

although if I change my mind and think I can manage December or Feb I'd probably go that route instead.

Cam Newton was a great draft pick.

[tofuspeedstar]

Just finished PT 71.

[Rupert Pupkin]

Wooooottt! I am getting there! Second consistent PT in 170s and new record.

PT 60: 173 ; BR'd 176 --> I guess I am right at the next hump.

LG- Exp : -2
LR: -2 ; BR still -2
LG: -3 (Game 4 kicked my ass in the beginning and setup stumped me for whatever reason, so didnt get to 2 questions lol) BR'd those 2 correctly; -1 BR
LR: -1; BR still -1
RC: -1 (Personal Best) - Crushed this RC. Loved all the topics and finished confidently.


Gotta keep this up. Going to PT with the tests in the 70s. Next one I am taking is Saturday. Review and drilling tomorrow.

[galeatus]

Weirdly that 8-section marathon didn't feel as tiring as I thought it would be...

PT71: LR -3, LG -1, LR -1, RC -6 (wtf) for 172
PT55: LR -1, RC -2, LR -1, LG -0 for 177

Have been bombing RC consistently in the last couple of PTs (-5 on PT63 & -6 here) - that should buff out after some more RC drilling so not too worried, but very much annoyed by misreading the question stem twice and going -2 more than I should have, WHY OH WHY OH WHY CAN'T I STOP MAKING STUPID MISTAKES. /rant

Ignoring PT55 as I've done a lot of the questions in it before during drilling so not exactly a new PT.

PT 17 tonight, -1 LR, -1 RC for a 180. That makes ten preptests since I started studying this cycle: 5 180s, 3 179s, a 178, and a 177. I've made a total of 9 errors in LR, 11 in RC, and 2 in LG. The reason I tell this stuff to you guys is because my girlfriend can't stand to listen to me.

If I need to retake I'm going to have to give myself some time off...otherwise, I'd probably lose my mind.

[Mikey]

No LSAT stuff this weekend, and possibly next week due to some exams and a paper I have to do.

I'm reading something for my advanced psych research class, and it's just like an RC passage, jfc lol.

First paragraph: blah blah blah, these psychotherapy techniques have been great for therapists' use with clients blah blah

Second paragraph: criticism of this development have been prolific. They point out that ____.

I can't escape it!!!!

e: "paradoxically, the innovative research on relationships...."

It's Blueprint's actually. They offer it for free. I find it to be the easiest to track scores on it. 7sage is a little annoying to go into each test, and, while I think Testmasters has a lot of good points, their diagnostic/practice test tracker sucks big time.

That too... Getting my head totally out of LSAT world for a little while would probably be good for me.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that though

Killing it!! Keep at it with RC - you'll get there.
