Yes, I'm getting that vibe too about the exp LG. I've only seen one person so far who said that specifically the real one was a breeze. This has been an extremely interesting experience. I can't remember the last time I cared about something so mu…

Lucky you on the RC. I definitely couldn't get my mojo working on that one. And here's the kicker.. I have an MA in a particular discipline highly relevant to it! There will be no more not marking the passage for me since I know I'm gonna crack unde…

@blackshear and reddit.. @bstew.. yeah that huge room was a bit intimidating. i don't know if that was a factor or not in my performance.. it could have been either positive or negative since I tend to perform well under pressure.
-
You are right about tending to focus on the negative. I absolutely crushed a particular section type that shall not be named, which reflects a huge accomplishment on my part from my first PT. The way I see it, this was just dress rehearsal for Oct…
-
@Bstew.. yeah haven't heard anyone really say "WOW that section was easy dude! I finished that so fast and understood all of it" If you're in Austin feel free to PM me about study groups and the like

@180 - believe me, cancelling is running thru my mind right now as well. There is a huge discrepancy in LSAT requirements between UT and UH, which are the two schools I'm thinking about, so I think I'll just keep this one to secure early admission i…

@btdean they're probably just being safe rather than sorry.. since they could get in trouble for it. At the end of the day, they can censor whatever they want since it's their site. Just don't worry about it man.. we can talk about it when the score…

Hey, on the bright side, I haven't heard one comment yet that the test was "easy." Maybe we'll get a curve better than on PT 72.. where 12 wrong was a 170 and 28 wrong was a 160.
-
@btdean oh yea. If the writing section were graded I would be like super confident in my score rn
-
@shanwe yes I agree the experience in and of itself was valuable. For example, now I will pay much more attention to notating RC on pape since I know that on test day, memory will not do. Second on that beer too.
-
I think an amount of insecurity is normal. But if you're like me, you could tell that you weren't sure of your answers and guessing like 20% of the time. That ALWAYS lead to bad PT scores. I'm not hopeful that my score will be what I wanted.
-
From reading various experiences, the test can easily start an hour or later after the start time on the ticket. The mantra about "getting there early" is true and probably a good idea, but that doesn't mean you have to walk in early. I'd try to pee…

All that can possibly matter about that bad score is what you did wrong, and how you can correct. Misbubbling? Practice with the bubble sheet every time until it's habit. Not reading except? Pay attention.. Can't concentrate with distractions? F…

You're in an ideal position to start studying. Many of us wait until the tail end of undergrad or later and then rush to take the test for application in a particular cycle. Given that you're at least a few semesters away anyway, you have plenty of …
-
Yeah nobody knows. People are idiots. The LSAC doesn't know.. The UT staff sent me to different places all 3 times.. I had to do some detective work on the internet based on reviews from previous test-takers to ascertain the elusive location of this…
-
The score distribution reflects how "hard" the test is to account for variations in difficulty from test to test. If you notice on some tests, a 170 is 10 wrong. On others, a 170 is 12 wrong (I happen to be perceptive of this specific score because …
-
Doing bad on PT's is part of the process. If you can hit 180 right out the gate on all your PT's.. why would you even be PTing? What matters is how well you analyze your errors and improve on them. The worst thing you could do is just take the tes…
-
I'm being realistic about it. My PTs are anywhere from 165-170, so I'm expecting something in that range. At this point, worrying about it is counterproductive. I'm just going into machine mode.. preparing all my stuff the night before, making sure …
-
Most implies some. (Many, a portion of, few) Think about it.. If we're given the fact that MOST DOCTORS ARE LAWYERS. In LSAT language, that's greater than 50% of doctors are lawyers. That would certainly imply that 1% of doctors are lawyers, 2%, 3…
-
Sleep is ridiculously important. Luckily, I have a prescription for Ambien due to my usual insomnia. I will have no problem banking 8+ hours on test day. If you can't sleep, I'd expect low performance.
-
Anywhere from 165-170. As long as there are no ridiculous curveballs on Monday, I'm expecting to hit somewhere in between there.
-
If you're anything like me, you will start out hating logic games but by test day, you will wish all the sections were logic games. They're very learn-able, and they can even become fun once you understand what's going on. They are a welcome fun lit…

72 will F your day up if you're not an Analytical Reasoning champion. But, the curve was also slightly adjusted. Case-in-point, you can get 12 wrong for a 170 on PT 72, but only get 11 wrong for a 170 on PT 73 and 74
-
I find that I need to run through a few RC passages before I take my PT's to warm my eyes and brain up for the density of information I'm about to be tested on. This is really the only tactic that I've noticed a big difference using. It's just so su…

With the games and conditions like this it's also helpful to quickly notice which "side of the arrow" the negation is on and react accordingly. ~L => O ~O => L This means that if L is out, O is in or if O is out, L is in. But notice that It…
-
I think the timed full-length PT's are wayyy beyond your current stage of learning the test. I suppose you can time the sections if you want, but I don't think it's necessary right now. To me, timing is strictly a function of how good you are at the…
-
What you need to do is let your body adjust to whatever strategy you plan to use on test day. So.. if you plan on slamming starbucks outside the testing center, make sure for the next few days that you slam starbucks at like 1PM. If you plan on taki…
-
For some reason I do better on the newer LRs. But at the end of the day, I think LR is about how quickly you can understand what you're reading, and how easily you can match it up with the patterns you've seen before from test-writers. I think it's …
-
Yeah, it sounds like you're not so much worried about how to solve this particular game as you are how to address odd games if they come up on test day. Since PT 72 pimp slapped me in a similar way, I came up with a few strategies: -Study all the w…
