Anyone here who fool proofed PT 1-35, about how long did it take you?
I've been using the Cambridge Packets, but now I'm thinking of beginning just going in order and fool proofing all the games from the 7Sage packet.
I haven't done all PT 1-35, in fact I'm almost through 5 PTs in that range. I do them in no particular order in the hopes that I understand what type of game I am facing, so I do not focus on the extemporaneous, distracting crap.
These older ones are ridiculous! I thought newer ones were supposed to be hard, but I find I have fewer issues with the newer ones than the older ones. I can't decide if that's good or bad. lol
Yeah, I originally was doing them by type from the old Cambridge Packets. I think while you're learning they can be a useful tool - doing like 10 ordering games in a row really helps you to catch on to things.
However, I've recently thought about just doing all the PT 1-35 straight-up fool proof method style and do them all 10x or until I am under time. Before I hit PT'ing hard I want to make sure my LG game is a bit more consistent.
The older ones certainly seem ridiculous. Granted, I've seen very few of the new games, but from what I can tell there certainly are some odd balls in the first 35.
So that's what will be my plan today to begin fool proofing a few PTs worth of tests, review, lunch and then drill some question types I've been a bit week on.
Hope your day is productive and positive! :)
@gregoryalexanderdevine723 I know this is old but I came across it and I was wondering do you crop what kind of game it is since the cambridge packets label it? I'm thinking it would be better for me to NOT drill it by type at this point as well..
No, I didn't crop them when I drilled from the packets. When I was first learning and drilling games, the point was to do a bunch of the same types of games. I truly think there is something helpful about doing a bunch of the same game type when you are learning so it doesn't matter if you know what the games types are. That said, if you are capable of doing each particular question type, I think your time will be better spent doing 7Sage fool proof method with the bundle.

If all goes to plan and I get at least the score I want at the first crack, I'll have one year between. So I was thinking of taking some paralegal courses in the state I'll be going to law school in---my idea of relaxing because I know those courses won't be difficult. Plus, I get a head start on that state's law in several areas (contracts, will/trusts/estates, business, and I forget the other areas the certificate program offered).
I've met several people who have done this between when they tested and were starting law school. I followed up with them after their 1L, and they were extremely pleased with their gap choice.
I considered going for an MLS, but that's too much to cram into one calendar year before I get REALLY busy. And, the rest of my life just won't allow that much room in those particular, upcoming years.
That's actually a very interesting and awesome idea! Great way to get a head start for sure!
What are your plans for after you take the test? Since there's about less than a year (+,-, depending no when you take the test) between application and potential enrollment, what kind of "work" will you guys be doing? I've read (not sure if this is confirmed) that law school admissions might ask you to explain a 6month gap in your resumes.
I thought about this for a while as I also quit my FT job to study. I enrolled in a language course because I've always wanted to learn the language and I didn't want to have 'studying for the LSAT' as the only thing I was doing. I plan on getting a job, either FT or PT, after taking the LSAT in September and submitting my apps.

Travel, relax, or get a new job; in which case you should still relax.
That's very sound advice. Definitely the best option if you can.
If I didn't live in such an expensive place I would love to travel/relax before law school.

I've been doing some PT work to keep the resume free from large gaps. After I take the test I will likely return to my old job, I technically was granted a leave to pursue something tangental to the company, which is what I am doing PT now.
Re: Law schools asking about gap on resume -- perfectly fine to explain you used the time to prepare for the LSAT. 6 months isn't a huge deal.

Hello, I too will be on the full time study program. Good to see others out there. It will for sure help to break it up and talk to others who are in the same situation.
Checking in! ...got my LoR's taken care of.. found 3 happy professors to write me one :wink: I think I'm the first engineer to go through my school and end up going to law school, so that's always fun being a first.
That's so FABULOUS on several counts!! xo
HAPPY WEDNESDAY, Y'ALL! XOXOX
Whatever you've been eating/drinking/doing, I need to take notes from you. You've got more excitement on a random Wednesday than I have at any point during my week hahaha. I'm still counting down the clock until this evening (Yay 3 day weekend for Good Friday)
LOL sorry, I was shouting, wasn't I?
It's Oldies PTs Monday nights, man! I have never been this excited about a Monday. EVER!
I drink DECAF coffee and tea, get in lots of fiber, protein and veggies, and I'm doing my meditation every. day.
And most importantly, my allergy meds are working!! LMAO
Woohooooo, 3 day weekend!!
I am also doing meditation everyday and I LOVE it! I'm on day 14 :) :)
The other day I was thinking in British and was very confused. Then I realized it was because of headspace. Lol.

Healing up pretty well. ...since I left my job and been kind of doing my own thing my whole world just feels more in perspective. Bad times will open your eyes to the good stuff you weren't paying attention to. :)
Truer words were never spoken!
I'm very happy to hear you're quickly on the mend and kicking some study a$$! (3(/p)

@gregoryalexanderdevine723 Hey dude! I just now caught up on everything in this thread. Hope your lip is healing well! That sounds fricken terrible. :(
Hey man! Healing up pretty well. Thank you for asking! Yeah, it definitely was a curve ball but honestly since I left my job and been kind of doing my own thing my whole world just feels more in perspective. Bad times will open your eyes to the good stuff you weren't paying attention to. :)
Checking in! @gregoryalexanderdevine723 how's the recovery coming? I took last Friday off and went back to my UG and got my LoR's taken care of.. found 3 happy professors to write me one :wink: I think I'm the first engineer to go through my school and end up going to law school, so that's always fun being a first. Alternatively, it sucks missing out on a huge chunk of time to study. Fridays I'm always off work mid-day and get usually get a lot done. Always next week I suppose.
Hey! It's going well -- just got stitches/staples out. It will be a hell of a scar, but I'm just happy and grateful it's healing. Thank you for asking.
Having your LOR taken care of is a great feeling but being the first to do something is always legendary! :) Having to take time off from study can suck, but some time off and away can sometimes be more helpful in the long run. Also, if the profs were happy to write them that's always a great sign!!

Happy Monday ya'll! Hope everyone's having a solid start to their week :)
Just wanted to check in. I had a 'you should just take the test already/don't keep pushing your test date' moment from a family member this morning. Even though I know though I want to only take the test when I'm ready, I still had that small nagging voice in the back of my head that I should listen to them. So I did what I thought was the best thing I needed to do in that moment...I held my own, told her off, and then came to this thread to reassure/ground myself hahaha
Now off to some more studying and a PT later today!
@gregoryalexanderdevine723@maoconnor925709 Sorry, joining in on this conversation too late. Not sure if this is helpful at all but, I use an HP Printer and they have a monthly subscription for printing where it's very inexpensive and, you can get coupon codes online. When I first heard about it at an Officemax I received 3 months of free printing. After that I am paying 9.99 a month and, when my ink is about to run out HP mails me new ink within the monthly cost.
My home color printer AIO is actually an HP with their subscription. The problem is, the subscriptions are rated at a "page per month" basis. Printing 3000+ pages blows that thing out of the water and they won't keep up with as much as I would end up printing.
I think I found a solution however. I'm going to just print each LG once.. and then just leave the tests blank and do all my work on scrap paper. I lose a little bit of time each game because I have to go back and forth, but if I can get my timing done doing that method, I should be way straight for real tests.
I also made spreadsheets to keep track of each different game so that I know specific scores and times (I made multiple columns for multiple dates, so I can easily track side by side to see improvement in both times and scores).
I did PT 1-3's logic games last night. I was pretty amazed how under time I was on everything. Finished all of the tests in sub-28 minutes. There was one game that was super weird and I got absolutely destroyed on, but that's because I messed up my diagramming and naturally 3 of the 5 questions was hoping you made the mistake that I did. RIP.

Hey! It's going well -- just got stitches/staples out. It will be a hell of a scar, but I'm just happy and grateful it's healing. Thank you for asking.
Having your LOR taken care of is a great feeling but being the first to do something is always legendary! :) Having to take time off from study can suck, but some time off and away can sometimes be more helpful in the long run. Also, if the profs were happy to write them that's always a great sign!!
@gregoryalexanderdevine723 Hey dude! I just now caught up on everything in this thread. Hope your lip is healing well! That sounds fricken terrible. :(
Checking in! @gregoryalexanderdevine723 how's the recovery coming?

If a person isn't doing the studying for me (which no one is), then they have no business telling me when I'll be ready or not.
I've gone a few rounds with several family members on this exact topic.
Kudos!
Happy Monday ya'll! Hope everyone's having a solid start to their week :)
Just wanted to check in. I had a 'you should just take the test already/don't keep pushing your test date' moment from a family member this morning. Even though I know though I want to only take the test when I'm ready, I still had that small nagging voice in the back of my head that I should listen to them. So I did what I thought was the best thing I needed to do in that moment...I held my own, told her off, and then came to this thread to reassure/ground myself hahaha
Now off to some more studying and a PT later today!

@gregoryalexanderdevine723 @maoconnor925709 Sorry, joining in on this conversation too late. Not sure if this is helpful at all but, I use an HP Printer and they have a monthly subscription for printing where it's very inexpensive and, you can get coupon codes online. When I first heard about it at an Officemax I received 3 months of free printing. After that I am paying 9.99 a month and, when my ink is about to run out HP mails me new ink within the monthly cost.

My home color printer AIO is actually an HP with their subscription. The problem is, the subscriptions are rated at a "page per month" basis. Printing 3000+ pages blows that thing out of the water and they won't keep up with as much as I would end up printing.
I think I found a solution however. I'm going to just print each LG once.. and then just leave the tests blank and do all my work on scrap paper. I lose a little bit of time each game because I have to go back and forth, but if I can get my timing done doing that method, I should be way straight for real tests.
I also made spreadsheets to keep track of each different game so that I know specific scores and times (I made multiple columns for multiple dates, so I can easily track side by side to see improvement in both times and scores).
I did PT 1-3's logic games last night. I was pretty amazed how under time I was on everything. Finished all of the tests in sub-28 minutes. There was one game that was super weird and I got absolutely destroyed on, but that's because I messed up my diagramming and naturally 3 of the 5 questions was hoping you made the mistake that I did. RIP.
