@"Cant Get Right" If I can identify the difference(s) between the old and new tests that are tripping me up (i.e. more of a certain question type, longer stims, more correlation/causation arguments) I can target it and drill it. Just seeing what I m…

@"Cant Get Right" said: Why do you need to establish the differences between early and later tests to do this? See what you missed and why. Then study that. To solve a problem, you need to first identify what the problem is. There must be some u…

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Retakes and three takes are fine I know there's no shame in it, and law schools are fine with it. It's just that, as I said, I have many other things in my life to attend to, and I'm no longer able to push everything else …

@apublicdisplay yeah, as long as you thoroughly review everything of course. Though to be honest I'm still not sure exactly what the differences are, so maybe the extra time wouldn't have actually helped me. But familiarizing yourself with the weird…
-
@AdrienBibi Yeah I'm exactly the same way. I desperately want to avoid a retake, but you can only do your best. I feel like I've given this my absolute all, so at the end of the day being pissed that I can't replicate my old scores doesn't do anyone…
-
@AdrienBibi you and me both dude. I can't figure out what's going on
-
I'm trying so hard to figure out what the differences are. I just can't seem to pin down a weakness and attack it. Urgh
-
There was recently a thread on TLS about going into the room before the test. LSAC actually says you can't ever have been in the room before you take the test, which is of course patently ridiculous since many people take the test at their universit…

Take people's advice on burnout with a pinch of salt, though. You have to know yourself. I do better when I'm working on the LSAT constantly, since I can immerse myself in the test and keep my mental muscles strong—and my score data bear that out. I…

I was you when I moved into the most modern tests (and I actually think I bombed PT 72 specifically. Pretty sure it was on that test that I got my lowest score since January.) Thoroughly review every missed or circled question until you think you un…

Personally I don't think I'll be talking to any of the other test-takers during the break. I don't want anything to break my concentration, and I want to remain "in the zone" as much as possible while giving my brain a little time to recharge. Obvio…

@roachjackson Because, while I love coffee and caffeine, I don't want to risk having a negative reaction to the drug on that particular day. When you introduce drugs to your body, you assume certain risks, and I'm confident enough that I can perform…

What he said. Last week I started eating my test day breakfast every day, and I stopped drinking coffee a couple weeks ago because I don't want to have caffeine in my system when I take the test (not prescribing anything, just using it as an example…
-
Ha @"Cant Get Right" I actually returned to this thread to say just that. Ran out of Noricas so I figured I'd buy some Black Ticons. They get good reviews and lots of people on TLS use them, plus I don't think the Noricas are the perfect pencil. Wel…
-
You sound like me several months ago --- almost exactly, actually, even with respect to PT scores. I pushed my Feb date back to June so I could take like 6 weeks to just do LG and then start doing PTs again, minimizing the tradeoff I had to make bet…

Yessss just what I needed

I smell a sitcom!

@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Are any of the LSN folks you're referencing splitters, like OP? One must consider both numbers. And LSN is really an awful reference—being less than 3% of the data pool. I stand by my comments. OP has made no statements …
-
Furthermore, literally no one needs to get a score that high. @"Nicole Hopkins" I have to disagree with you here. If you go on Lawschoolnumbers and just browse relevant forums, you'll see that you do need to be in a certain echelon (174+) to get at …

I had heard about the lizards and snakes game before I'd even done it. So I found myself in a dream trying and failing to do it. I obviously can't remember how my subconscious constructed the game, but I think it's interesting that my brain was atte…

@allison.gill.sanford yay awesome! This is a great intro to EDM if you're looking to try out what all the kids these days are talking about. It's not as aggressive-sounding as dubstep (i.e. Skrillex) and isn't niche experimental stuff. It's basicall…
-
@cjones76 lmao I TOTALLY would not even gonna lie, but I start my summer job the next day
-
@"Purple Paris" @Artwork94 @stepharizona I'm happy you all enjoy, really am. The hardest part of pushing my test date back from February to June was realizing I wouldn't be able to go to EDC in May
-
@twssmith ahh I just took PT 70 today but hopefully our schedules will sync up soon enough!
-
@Micaela_OVO LOOKIN FOR REVEEEENGE
-
also @Micaela_OVO the beach vibe is exactly the idea!
-
@cjones76 thanks so much, I love it when people share my music taste. @Micaela_OVO @"The 180 Bro_OVO" Are you guys just hardcore Drake fans or am I missing something here haha.

@"A. Clermont" haha thanks man, glad you enjoy!
