Hey @"C-A-T spelt dog" , would you mind telling us what particular game (question?) you're refering to? We may be able to better help that way as a lot of this stuff is specific to the situation.

I certainly agree with @Pacifico. Unless you feel that you are really behind, I'd say taking a break while you're on vacation could actually be beneficial. I also had a vacation planned about 5 months into my prep and decided not to do anything rela…

I'd say the most effective way to relieve some of the stress associated with running out of time is to solidify your understanding of the "easier" questions, repeat them, review the underlying concepts ad nauseam until you can do them lightening fas…

So that game is from PrepTest 3, Section 1, Game 2. You can see the test number listed in the right hand corner of the video explanation for any given game. To get your hands on that test, I believe you'll need a PDF (hard copies of that test are ha…

What has helped me with timing in LR is skipping questions I don't understand the first time through and returning to them at the end of the section. Once your fundamental understanding in LR is solid (and it sounds like yours pretty much is since y…

@nicole.hopkins - You'll be happy to know that my preptest pre-game ritual now includes bacon...

You could set a stopwatch (counting up rather than down), that way you can keep track of time and have goals in mind but not restrict yourself. The most important thing while drilling, IMO, is learning the concepts. If they're taking you longer than…

I've had this go both ways, I thought I did well and I did below average and vice versa. There have also been tests where I thought I did well and this was actually the case and tests where I thought I did poorly and that's exactly what happened. I'…

@blah170blah Thanks! All of that sounds helpful and I will give it a shot. I use SelfControl (Cold Turkey on PCs) to block websites- imgur, facebook, TLS, 7Sage discussion forum (not!)-during certain parts of the day if I'm feeling particularly undi…

@blah170blah Nice gif...

@nicole.hopkins - I knew this thread would be helpful. My study schedule has been a little scattered so I recently devised a "clever" study schedule (Day 1-review fundamentals/new reading, Day 2-LR BR and drills, Day 3-RC BR and drills, Day 4-LG BR …

Assuming you use POE religiously (highly recommend), are you usually down to 2 answer choices? If you are, I'd insert them back into the stimulus. Re-read the stimulus plus contender #1 then ask yourself, "Am I compelled by the logic gods to believe…

@nicole.hopkins Bacon for my brain? I will certainly give it a shot. Worst case scenario... bacon. New, highly subjective question- Max number of hours one should study a day? I look forward to feverish debate centered around this topic.

@bsM45LSAT Have you checked TLS? Ebay? I'm sure someone somewhere is selling one used.

People like to rag on the 180 Watch for various reasons but I've found it helpful. Quieter and less frequent tick (every 2 seconds) and just push a button to reset. It's a essentially a timer, except that it's legal. Aside from that, any old analogy…
-
Okay, I don't know how many test you've taken in total but it could be a result of any number of things (worn out from work done on previous day, fluke, hunger, etc). I wouldn't put too much weight on any one data point (although I know it can be te…
-
Which PTs were they? What was the section breakdown for each? Hopefully with some specifics, we'll all be able to offer some insight.
-
Ok. I'll stop overusing gif's. I just learned how and I'm super pumped about it. Not everyone likes Suits, I enjoy it. I think season 1 is on Amazon Prime if you have that. It's totally unrealistic but hilarious IMO.
-
Suits.

*I'm DONE studying... typo!

@nicole.hopkins Nah. I'm done studying for the night so it's more like...

.. but in all seriousness, I think everyone is just trying to help. So let's all keep things civil.

Wha..?.. I have the perfect reaction gif for this thread. Lemme see if I can find it...

@btdean82 No problem! I can definitely understand being eager to know your score. What I normally do is enter my answers and find out my score but I don't mark the questions that are incorrect. I also try not to look at the section breakdown (altho…
-
@btdean82 You may need to consider reviewing your work (either via a clean copy or the ones you circled as difficult during your first time through the PT) without knowing which ones you got incorrect. This may give you a more accurate idea of where…

My biggest complaint Re:Kaplan is that rather than using authentic LSAC questions, they are using questions they've created. Why study with fake questions when there are so many real ones out there? Also the support is out there, you can search TL…
-
So I don't know how often this occurs generally as it's game specific but switches could potentially come about by way of an inference. If you determine that L and G are the only two elements that could occupy spaces 1 and 2, for example, and nothin…
-
@blah170blah I *believe* he means marking when two elements can "switch up" between two positions (curved line connecting the two). I've also been trying to utilize these more since it really is a way to represent two scenarios/splits in one diagra…
-
Hey @"Aiesha G." , I just wanted to highlight something that's already been said here. Only you can decide whether now is the right time for you to pursue law school or not BUT... if you decide to continue studying, ditch that Kaplan book fast. Bes…

Sounds great! I'll PM you. Thanks for offering to share your work.
