Same thing happened to me, I dropped from 170 down to below 165 lol.. at this point.. this is how I feel https://41.media.tumblr.com/a8a2a754d7300db40166ea97d2a251a3/tumblr_inline_nycij0zLHd1tnbkbx_540.jpg

Hey all,

I was doing fairly well on my LSAT prep, scoring upwards towards the 170s. However, having taken PT 72 and 73 my score has dropped dramatically down towards the lower 160s. At this point I want to put off this test till the next one offered after December. LR and RC were always my weakest, and I'm pretty certain they've gotten wordier and more difficult. I still have PT 74, 75, 76 left.. all advice welcome... I need it :-/

I'm confused on the schedule for this group. There's another BR group that's doing PTs in the 70s, which one are we doing for Saturday?

Thank you guys so much for your responses! I've decided against canceling and just retaking Feb for the following reasons.

In the case where I did below my average..the schools that I am applying to 1/2 of them will look at the higher score, the ones that don't I can explain the migraine and illness as they're both documented. That coupled with a higher score would make sense to law schools who see my first take.

I do phenomenally on my second take, then I can wait a gap year and apply early.

Then there's the case that I did average, in that case I can prep harder and try to boost to a higher score (+3 pts higher), still explain the illness.

For a cancelled score, it all falls on Feb.

@ I had a migraine that began around 6-7pm the night before. For me they're usually triggered by sleep schedule changes. The migraine kept me up and continued on into the exam. Apart from being distracting as hell, migraines have the added benefit of impairing cognitive functioning. This is the main reason for canceling, I wasn't nervous as I've been prepping for a long time.

@.hopkins I'm curious as to the reasoning why?

Thinking about canceling the Dec score

Hi all, to make this brief...I am considering canceling my score for a few reasons.

1. The schools I want to go to, and the scholarship money are the primary concern for choosing to go to law school. It's a must that I maximize both.

2. I was sick with mono, then the flu, and then a string of migraines. So I lost 2-3 weeks of studying right before the exam.

3. The night of the exam, I couldn't sleep and got a total of 5 hours of quality sleep. My brain felt foggy and not fresh at all.

4. Even if I cancel and write Feb, I will still make the deadline for 3 of the schools I would want to attend. If I do better than expected, I could always apply in the next wave with better prospects for both schools and scholarships.

and finally.. I was PTing around 170s, but after Preptest in the 70s my score dropped down to 163.

What do you guys think?

Which answer choice had you picked? I could maybe tell you why that answer is incorrect.

The negation of B says "Even if no such change actually occurs, patient's predictions of sudden changes in their medical status are not less likely to be remembered by medical staff"

The reasoning of the argument is that because in an analogous situation in which maternity room staff were more likely to remember busy nights with full moons and they just didn't remember the busy nights without full moons (ONCE that because known), and that analogous case was disproven.... For that reason we should not trust anecdotal evidence.

The negation of B says that medical staff can remember the cases in which patients made predictions, and got it wrong. That destroys the bridge in the authors reasoning.

I just wanted to add that I was mis-bubbling quite a bit during my PTs. One really good tip I read was to bubble every time you're about to turn the page, their reasoning was that it is a natural point of rest because you're turning the page anyway and it saves a few more seconds.

If you read the stimulus, it is about getting the best performance out of employees. "Employees" must go to work already wanting to do a good job. And the best way to do this (getting them to go to work wanting to do a good job) is by delegating responsibility to them (them making a decision on their own). They add that the impact of delegating "especially" works when it's a decision that the manager has already made.

So it never says they do a better job, or that they'll make the best decisions. Just that that's the way to extract performance, not by threatening or with raises.

Answer choice C is referring to the manager, he/she can be effective by giving up control (in decisions) and that is the proposition in the stimulus.

highly recommend exercising, it lowers that nervous energy and cortisol levels. You don't even need to over do it either, but do focus on your legs and a bit of cardio.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
