Out of curiosity, are there any options to take this exam in paper format if we are taking them in person...? The last standardized exam I had to take was not in digital format, and I honestly feel a little dizzy having to take this exam via a computer screen. Not to mention not being able to use writing utensils actively to interact with the passages. Sent an email to LSAC asking this question but wondering if I can get a response sooner through here.
I may try the adapt by difficulty of passage comment you made. What usually happens is I can get most of the AC's correct because I am spending more time on the passage, but I literally just end up not having any time for the last passage, fairly consistently regardless of drill or PT. We'll see if it makes a difference. Thank you.
Bro how do you guys read these passages in 1 to 2 minutes. I spend 3 to 4 minutes and still drop a question or two occasionally...open to tips.
These games are incredibly fun to keep practicing the concepts to not lose too much steam when I'm away from the computer.
Record keeping purposes. Just the BR from PT of other day. Taking a break from PT's. Exclusively drills and review of notes & wrong answer journal for now. Always open to tips.
Thank you very much for the elaborate comment. I completely agree with getting down to a strategy per question type and per question type w/reasoning used in the passage. I'm in a weird spot where I have to build up skills to answer in time, build stamina to take four sections, and also brush up on fundamentals. I'll take your advice and just really hone in on the question types for now. I don't think more PT's will be useful for me at this very moment anyway—I felt myself blanking out several times yesterday and today while taking the PT's. Best of luck to the both of us.
PT 144: Score 159. Too many PT's are frying my brain it seems, meaning that they're getting a little counterproductive. Going to review wrong answer journal today and do the BR for PT 144 tomorrow. Possibly PT two days from today. Going to explore avenue of using tutoring depending on how next PT goes.
Your physical condition matters a lot. It doesn't matter how well you have the fundamentals down if the words in front of you literally don't even get into your head. Get a good night's rest; eat something light but nutritious; and get a workout in.
Not necessarily the goal but only way to get better is to collect more data on what I suck at, analyze them, figure how to not do them again, then apply on future PTs/real deal.
Well, you're in much better shape than I am but would glad to give any knowledge I can to help you! Would appreciate RC tips from you as well. I usually do well if I digest the passage but sht the on the last passages (as per the photo) because I run out of time.
Thanks for the tip. I do find what's most helpful is really getting the fundamentals down so I can quickly and confidently get past "cookie-cutter" questions and spend a little more time on q's that take a little more brainpower. Best of luck to both of us.
Shoot me some questions. I'd be glad to walk you through my thought processes.




That honestly sucks so much, but thanks for the response!
