General · Third logic game...

Sunday, Dec 06 2015

@kennedybj959 Overall I felt LG section was much easier than normal

Said no one ever.

LOL

Fuck I was absolutely cruising through the test yesterday, I messed up on Oct due to misreading a logic game, so I was prepared this time.

I had it last (thank god), and I ripped through Games 1 and 2 super fast, only to get to Game 3 and immediately nope out of there to Game 4.

I had trouble with Game 4 in the sense that I answered everything but I didn't feel fully confident.

Then went back to Game 3 and literally had 6min but I was frozen like a popsicle. I slowly watched time tick down as I sat there and then went All As.

We need to talk! I'm in a very similar situation, albeit a higher gpa, and I've decided to shoot for Queens and retake in Dec.

Since I'm from Canada, this was a great read, and very informative!

Thanks for putting it up. Oddly enough I think I can get into Queens but not UVIC, even though they are in the same "tier"

LSAT · Oct 2015 game 3

barneet56557

Monday, Oct 05 2015

I could verbatim write this game out right now. This game is giving me nightmares. I literally misread not one, TWO game rules leading me to panic and guess all Ds on this game.

What makes me the most mad is that it was not even a hard game. Literally PT 76 had none of those "weird" games and I still messed up.

Furthermore when I've been doing Pts I have occasionally misread game rules and bombed games. That's why before driving on Saturday I pumped myself in the car and tried to list out all the things I wouldn't mess up on, one of them being misreading a game rule.

I know we can't say specific stuff about the games, but I literally interpreted one of the rules to be you have to see at least one XY, instead of XZ. I'm using random symbols, but how the hell do you even mess that up. This led to me crossing off all the answer choices in Q1, and then utter chaos.

My only smart move I'd say was immediately moving onto Game 4.

Also I know lots of people are saying they messed this game up, but I have a strong feeling a vast majority did well on it just it was a game that took a little bit more time, which means there's no godsend curve that will help us.

Dude don't worry about it. You probably only messed up on the last game bubbling. Think positive!

@kyeretsian807 Awoodwo1 - you're not alone... I screwed up the LGs; games 2 and 3 threw off my timing.... Irritated b/c I spent a good amount of time thinking I could get -4 or less on that section....

Game 2 wasn't bad, I think it just ate a lot of time, I didn't even realize it. Literally I thought I was on pace until I hit game 3, misread a rule, tried every question in the first question to realize nothing worked, panicked, went back and saw I misread the rule, fixed it, looked at my clock to see 10min. Like WUUUUUUT even happened.

@odebs279730 If the real LG section is the one identified above, I had it right after the break, and I totally bombed because I lost my flow, despite getting my blood flowing, eating, and drinking. I really lost my cool, sadly, and ended up filling in bubbles just to get some answers down. I was hoping for upper 150s, but I think that real LG may have killed that hope, unless I'm really lucky.

My LG was also the one right after the break. With the Fall/Spring stuff, pretty sure that is the real LG as it's the only one I had.

I didn't think of it, but the break might have ruined my flow too ugh.

Don't stress, I think we all fucked up this section.

Had RC, LR, LR, LG, and then LR.

Absolutely bombed that 2shift game, kind of by misreading a rule, but more because Game 2 took up time. I made a smart move I think by looking at clock and seeing 10min left, then skipping Game 3, and going onto 4 which was much easier. Went back to game 3 and circled all one bubble, PLEASE BE RIGHT LOL.

About LR, there was one SUPER hard LR, which was my first one, 26 questions. The second one and third were much easier, but the first and second were 26, while last one was 25 so I'm pretty sure last one is legit, which is fine I think I did okay. BUT that first LR, I'm pretty sure I bombed it, but I doubt it would be experimental because then LR would be too easy overall.

Also RC felt way too easy, I kinda phased myself out thinking it was experimental because it was so damn easy. I mean until the last comparative passage which was a frigging blur.

Friday, Oct 02 2015

Ugh this question was so simple but I immediately crossed off E as it had A or B, and I thought that it obviously couldn't be that. I went with B, although I knew that it said LIKELY, which is different from the stimulus, but panicked.

Caught it in BR, but I'm rattled as this question threw my momentum off for a couple others after.

@barneet56557 uh so seriously, did anyone record this?

I had a 4-7pm PST class today so I entirely missed this.

Being sick actually increases your score by +5.

I have no data to back me up on this, just believe pls.

@alexandergreene93842 That's definitely a superior alternative.

Hmm I'll take your advice, I was kind of contemplating my decision anyway, didn't want to get burnt out.

What do you think about doing some old sections everyday in the morning? Worth it at all?

LSAT · When do you take your last PT?

barneet56557

Wednesday, Sep 30 2015

@alexandergreene93842 You're not going to get anything out of taking another PT at this point. The exam is in 4 days. Why would you take another PT on Thursday? Even when I PT'd 3 times a week I wouldn't take 2 PTs in a span of three days (I'd PT Monday, Thursday and Sunday). You're have everything to lose and nothing to gain by doing that.

Well the last PT I did was 73 this past Saturday, so it's been quite a few days if I do one this Thursday.

Do you think it would be better to split the test up then and do a section every morning?

I realize I'm not going to make any gains, and I've already reached my goal score, I just want to keep my brain sharp.

Oh and also, starting today I've been waking up at 7am, and doing 2 old sections of LR and LG that I've done before (only PT 70s). I just feel like I'm helping my brain think at that time. Is this counter productive?

Just have PT 75 left to do, will do it Thursday. I'm not doing ANYTHING LSAT related on Friday, the day before the test.

General · Why is this happening? (LR timing)

barneet56557

Saturday, Sep 26 2015

Just keep at it. If you're going -14 on an LR section you got a long ways to go. Just keep PTing, and eventually you'll see that number go down.

When I first started PTing back in June, I would go -10 in each LR section. For weeks it kept at about -8 to -10, and then recently in the past month I've started going -6 on each, to now -3.

PT. Blind Review. Repeat.

We're all gonna absolutely crush PT 76.

They have nothing on us.

Months of being knocked to the ground by the LSAT, next Saturday is when we get back up and slaughter the LSAT.

General · Things are clicking, all of a sudden... fluke?

barneet56557

Sunday, Sep 20 2015

I was consistently going -9 on both LR sections, and then I printed off all my old LRs that I got wrong on PTs, did them slowly and proved to myself why the wrong answers are wrong, and the right ones are right.

After that I did notice me starting to go a little bit better as the PTs progressed. I've generally been going -5 on LRs now, and on my latest PT I went -3 and -2, which is by far the best I've ever done on LRs.

It does just "click" tbh, because there comes a point in time where you're just so used to doing LR sections, that you almost think what's the worst they could even throw at me.

General · Reading on tls that some high scorers...

barneet56557

Monday, Sep 14 2015

This is a horrible idea. You will burn out incredibly fast.

Hell I was taking 3 PTs a week, and even then I thought I felt burnt, and more importantly I wasn't getting sufficient time to BR my answers, where the actual GAINS are made.

Saturday, Sep 12 2015

I know how you feel. I'm personally dreading every time I have to write a PT now. I've only done 21, but like it seems like the same old thing, and I REALLY have to make the effort to go write one.

I just want Oct to come and to be done with the LSAT. I really think I can achieve the goal I'm aiming for!

"among those that do similar amounts of typing..."

Wish I read this more carefully during the actual test, went with A, and then B during BR.

Goal Reached, now stagnant?

Hey guys,

So I've done 21 PTs now, and the one I just did today I got 161. My goal LSAT score is exactly 160+, and I've been getting that almost every time in the past 10 tests, and high 150s in the ones before that.

I have 5 LSATs left, and I'm wondering what I should do. I have basically reached my goal, and I honestly don't think I can even do any better. Take today for example, I did PT 66, and went -4 in games, -6 on both LRs, and -8 in RC. I literally guessed that those would be the scores as I was taking it, a -8 on RC is fairly good for me, and whenever I get that or under, I almost always do well on the actual PT.

-6 in LRs is another thing I don't think I can improve any further. I haven't done BR yet, but I most likely messed up one easy mark question due to topic context being confusing or mis-read, and the rest 5 were probably 5 star questions that I can't even get right during BR.

-4 in Games is something that I think I can fix, although I'm willing to bet one of those was a substitution and equivalence question that I just circled guessed and moved on. The rest of the wrong ones are from me rushing to get all the games done on time.

So what I'm really asking is what's the best way I can make use of the time I have left. I feel like if I do the remaining 5 PTs, they will be 160s, but is that really helping me for Oct? Maybe I should drill some of my weaknesses like RC and not do more?

Note I print off the entire LSAT over again for BR, and I generally average 167 for it, but regardless my actual PT score has been low 160s for as long as I can remember. Can't seem to get past it. I've heard that there is another transition when everything suddenly starts to click, but I feel like I'm just doing rinse repeat on every lsat.

I just need some guidance.
