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.

nice work.

you seemed to have gotten over the hump between high 160s very quickly. anything you did for that?

[galeatus]

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

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

Not entirely convinced that it's a sane decision to be making 2 weeks before D-Day, but after reviewing the RCs I've decided to almost completely revamp my RC approach - from basically not having an approach at all and hoping that I'll get the main point to following the methods in Manhattan RC word-by-word in the hope that it's gonna cure my RC woes. The main worry is that I'm gonna struggle to get be familiar enough with the method on test day that I'll be struggling for time.

Ahh fuck it, there's nothing that a few day's of hardcore drilling won't cure.

[Instrumental]

All right, I'm rearranging my schedule a bit to fit in a nice break next week. And then I'm going to do some doubled up tests to make sure my endurance is on point. We'll see how that goes.

Ok so now I'm debating on whether I should stick to my "no LSAT stuff weekend" or not. Im almost positive I won't be doing any lsat stuff Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday due to a shit ton of school work. So maybe PT Tomorrow and BR it next Friday? I know the extra weekend days without the LSAT could benefit me (????) but I'm backed up on PTing so idk. Or maybe just do some light drilling tomorrow and no PT until after my break?? Opinions?

[appind]

how is the work/class load for those here the week of lsat?

[theothercat]

Tried to take PT 74 after a full, busy 8-hour day at work yesterday, and had to quit in the middle of Section 3. My brain was so fried. But I went over the sections I did get through: LR: -1, LG: -0. Wish I would have gotten a score out of that test, think I might have hit 175 (finally).

Oh well. We'll just call that one glorified drilling.

A test and paper due the week of the LSAT.

Pretty chill state government office job... so pretty much just drilling at work and trying not to freak out.

I wouldn't put so much time between a PT and BR.

iight, I feel like the better route would be light drilling tomorrow and then PT on Friday

-0 on 2 packs of 5 LG this morning, -2 on a mostly new RC, both due to misbubbling (yikes yikes )

Going to spend the entire evening on LR - going over PT 77 + other qs I'm getting wrong. Hopefully PT tomorrow morning after a timed cab-ride to the TC.

getting a haircut makes me better at the LSAT.

how is the work/class load for those here the week of lsat?

I guess jobs at for profit places are more stress.

I think I will have to take the whole week off as work may get too stressful.

It'd be a big dent on paycheck but I don't want to risk it that week.

Been out of school for a long time but I feel that a week full of classes is still much better than work the week of.

My hair is long af bro. I haven't gotten a haircut since June 2012.

A test and paper due the week of the LSAT.

Shouldn't be too bad I guess, or may be I am way off the mark on how much distracting that can be.

You sound like my undergrad BLAW professor...well, if you wear those like nylon strapped men's teva sandals.

The exam isn't that bad, the paper is going to be a bit time consuming but hey it is what it is lol

Nah lol no nylon sandals. I look like a generic "rocker kid"(???) I suppose.. Long hair, usually wearing band shirts, converse, stretched ears ( not huge tho), etc

Back in the June waiters thread i PWd myself and when people saw my pic they were assuming that I was like a skater or surfer xD

If one subscribes to this romanticized idea that feverish intellectual activity of different kind close to the lsat helps not hurts, then may be it's not too bad. Or may be it's just fantasy.

I think finals at least make one more ready for the testing process I general. I have forgotten the last time I took a test except for lsat.
