@nathan.fabiano you're ready to take a bunch of PT's. Just take, take, and retake if need be. And don't forget to take some breaks At this point, a combination of PT's, BR, addressing weaknesses that emerge as trends, and self-care are what you nee…

@jyang72 you are AWESOME. It requires a lot of courage to commit to a break. I look forward to having you on the calls in the future and hearing stories of your success!

@jyang72 to be fair, that adjective may not be entirely without support ...

LOOK AT YOU!!! See, you just gotta trust the process. I actually hit my personal high score right before I crashed into some burnout recently. Interesting how that works. Yes, trust the process ... It's going on in your mind even while you're not …

That article is super interesting (the link I posted with the 100 pictures). Where believing the propaganda is a necessary condition for survival ... Fascinating and horrifying. A captive people, to be sure.

HAHA ... Yes I have been dabbling in some FarmVille on my own days off but now it wants money ... Don't get sucked in ... Or do, if you enjoy that sort of thing I am honored to be in a position to support and affirm your extremely impressive effort…

@eugene.chong said: can I ask how most of you became interested in these fields? I'm a born trial lawyer. And it's good to have a specialty. I've been interested in O&G for a few years and it would be a good niche in Texas. But I'd also enjoy …

And by the way, @jyang72 ... When you come back, you'll be stronger than ever. That's what I experienced every single time I've taken a break and come back. I typically break out of a plateau shortly following breaks. Take courage, my friend! All wi…

@jyang72 said: I will take the rest of this week off and begin again next monday. Next Monday meaning not the 10th but the 17th I presume If I catch you studying I will torture you with Facebook game requests!!!!

@jyang72 said: I did really bad on the LG which is what I am good at and my mind was clouded when I was doing the third section. I literally could not think and had headache. I just could not take in any information at all. I gave it up and switche…

@Pacifico said: Do you BR with the test you took or a clean copy? This makes a huge difference in your BR.

@goalis180 said: studying perfection is not gonna happen yet Or ever AND THAT'S OK. Because you don't need to be perfect!!! I also struggle with perfectionism and it led me to do too much for too long. So now I'm planning which ice cream and be…

@c.janson35 said: Being upset cause you don't go -0 is wasted energy--don't worry about it, hakuna matata. and like, be kind to yourself ... have an ice cream or something ... don't abuse yourself because you're not perfect.

@emli1000 said: Couponing! Best thing ever! LOL! I love it!

@goalis180 said: When I do not achieve a score of -0, I get super irritated, and end up spending time on each question literally nit picking why I got an answer right on one question, but not the other, and with the amount of material available you…

@c.janson35 said: I'm of the opinion that any timed practice is better than no timed practice, so if that means that someone has to split up a PT because of a busy schedule then I wouldn't worry too much about it as long as they are timing it and s…

@c.janson35 said: BRing after each section may give you an extra break/time to decompress that you won't get on test day. Yeah it just seems like this method would set you up for some really unpleasant surprises ... But sometimes you just don't …
-
@c.janson35 said: I think sometimes people are worried about using up preptests too soon, but there's plenty of preptests to work through (and retaking is beneficial anyway) and preptests also offer you a great way to work on your skills. Yeah ...…

@hdfhifegi said: Is it more beneficial to Blind Review after every completed section or after taking the entire test? If you're not taking the test under timed/simulated conditions then you're losing the benefit of timed PT's (training yourself to…

@"s_tengler" said: @nicole.hopkins Agreed. I'd burn out if I did more than 3 hours a day for a long time. Phew ... yeah ... You've got a tough job so I think that's definitely true. My job is quite cushy so I was able to do about 5-6 hours/ day f…

@ENTJ said: I would really suggest that you sit down with your thoughts and do an extensive cost-benefit analysis of your dilemma. It's important to really parse out all options and determine what is the best route for yourself. A good question to …

@Pacifico said: @africannarp said: I usually score around 169, so my BR really doesn't take too long. Would you recommend that I go over the questions that I do not circle during the tests? No, just keep doing what you're doing. Yeah, given you…

@Pacifico said: If you're staying local after law school then there are a lot of T50 or T100 law schools that have great outcomes within the local market. Thank you. This is why you're the dude.

@Pacifico said: 3 PTs per week M/W/F I must have missed that he said he's taking weekends off? Still. It's ... a lot.

@rdelamat said: Is there any comprehensive list that groups the sections according to types so I could group them up myself? I have an excel sheet. PM me. Just kidding--that link @c.janson35 provided is likely enough (but sure, PM me for the Excel…

@Pacifico said: I think if you go overboard with the problem sets it can distract too much from learning the macro level skills needed to succeed on the test. So true. Don't burn out on drilling when the hardest part of the marathon is before you…
