I had a hoodie on and had to us my sleeve. Im sure I looked like a little orphan kid! It was gross, it completely messed up that section of LR. Luckily it was the experimental section!
Heres a funny story. On D-Day last Feb after the 15 min break we started the next section. For some god awful unknown reason my stupid nose began to run. And I mean RUN! It felt like my nose all of a sudden became Niagara Falls! And stupid me, I didn't bring any tissues, (I needed a towel!) So anyways I lifted my test up so I could keep my head level and I was immediately told to put it flat on the table.
At my testing center it had to be kept flat on the table. I tried.
Just got my first rejection. Got denied by Texas Tech. Pretty sure its due to my gpa. Thought I had a fairly good chance due to being 4 points above their 75th LSAT. Oh well. Still waiting on Texas AM and UNT. I appreciate this forum, everyone here has always been very kind and cordial to one another. I've been browsing the r/lawadmissions subreddit and it seems very toxic to me. I'm glad 7sage is not the same!
Another thing I thought of, maybe its an adrenaline crash? Ive been so stoked to start a section then after the 4th or 5th question my adrenaline would subside and I would crash.
I don't know how much this will help, but when I had the same problem I had to brute force myself to stay focused and study. However, it could be a sign of burn out, maybe take 2 or 3 days off and relax a bit?
LG became my absolute favorite section over time. Prior to fool proofing I was horrible at games. After months of practice I got pretty good! My favorites are in/out and grouping. To be honest, I haven't done a game since Feb 8, and I sort of miss them. I'm going to do some in a few months just to see if I retained anything.
I went through the CC twice, once before December '16 and then again after I bombed the first one. The first PT I took after the second CC was a 148 (PT 60) I was devastated. I went through all three phases in the post CC webinar and ended up doing 3 points above my average last month. But my goodness it was a LOT of work. If I can raise my score by 15 points, Im convinced anyone can.
I did a 145 on the December 16 lsat. I did a 160 last month. It is possible to raise your score. I would recommend the post cc webinar, that helped me a lot.
Im a super super splitter. 2.17, 160 with military soft. I'll let you know when I hear back from the schools I applied to.

Nice and sunny, a bit chilly, I think its 65 degrees. Ive got all the windows and blinds open. Lewisville, Texas.
DUDE! I’m here at Lewisville as well next to Costco!
No way!!!!! Im at round grove, right across from the tom thumb!!!!!
All the above ^^^^!!! Take a post CC test, bomb it, find your weakness and then work on those. I continued fool proofing until the Thursday before the test. I think the best advice I got from the post CC webinar was "Go beyond the correct answer, seek full understanding of all the answers." I really believe that helped me.

I wish I knew how to add some gifs to this thread. Just trying to portray my excitement tonight. or this morning.

I hit my goal, I'm happy. I scored 3 points above my PT average. I'm having an IPA. I'm happy.
Good for you, congrats!! I was 2 pts above my goal. I scored this score on 1 PT and it was my highest. A few points above my average of the past several PTs. I am elated, and surprised
Thanks! AND CONGRATS!!!!! I hugged my dear wife so hard she said I hurt her back. She deserved good hug though, without my love's support I wouldn't have been able to do it.
I've put over 6000 hours into this test, it paid off. I'm no sage, but it paid off. I'm happy tonight. I'm really happy. My first take was a 145 back in December 16. I raised my score exponentially with hard work and fool proofing. 7sage works. It really does. This is coming from a high school drop out with a GED. Don't quit, don't ever quit. You've never failed until you quit trying. DO NOT QUIT!
I hit my goal, I'm happy. I scored 3 points above my PT average. I'm having an IPA. I'm happy.
I heard a rumor that employment history is required to sit for the bar, therefore its required to list on your applications. Does anyone know if this is true? I was told I have to list fast food employment from 20 years ago and if I don't when the BLE looks at tax returns I will be denied for lying about employment. Does anyone have any info on this?

TBH the most shocking thing I saw was one guy walked in with just one pencil
wow, that's a bold move... especially as it seems like the average LSAT taker brings like 15 (including me)
Yea I brought like 30....
Excessive pencil crew. The proctors made a comment about how many pencils I brought.
Same with me, lol. The proctor lady told the room I had enough pencils for the entire building. I told her they were my security blanket cause I've been using them for the past year on PTs and drilling. I promised my pencils they would part of D-Day with me. heh
I hope the adcomms take into account my military soft, I don't know how much they do, but any bit will help.

I'm glad to be in the company of servicemen and women, both online in 7Sage and offline. My neighbors served in the Navy and I have a couple coworkers who were in the Marines, who I believe were from Camp Pendelton and 29 Palms
Oh lovely 29 Palms. How I don't miss it there....
Lol, I spent from August 2004, to June 2008 there, the desert grew on me. I miss it.

Ummmm I think it almost might be a giving up hope time. Per LSAC twitter,
"Due to the beastly weather from this nasty winter storm in the east, LSAC’s offices are closing at 3:30 pm today. If you are affected by bad weather of any kind, please stay warm, dry, and safe."
Darn. Yea, thats a pretty good reason to give up hope. Oh well, I bet they come out Wednesday. At least I'm off that day.
I won't give up hope for today until after 6pm.
This is brutal.

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for sharing! I ran across your other post about being a splitter the other day. I’m afraid my GPA will play a hard part in the application process for next cycle. I have a cumulative 2.89 thanks to my original school and some horrible things that happened to me while I was there for three semesters, but my second college I attended I redid all of my classes and my graduating GPA was a 3.8 Magna Cum Laude. So I’m going to write an addendum when submitting my apps, and I’m hoping that along with seeing that three semesters starting in 2007 won’t override all of the hard work after and graduating in 2012. Fingers crossed that you’ll hear good news from the others you’ve applied to!
Thanks!
I'm sure you'll do good!
