Has anyone brought Ibuprofen/Advil in their ziplock bag before? I’m prone to allergy headaches this time of year, and am worried that one will start mid-test, so I’d like to bring something just in case, but I’m not quite sure it’s allowed. Any thoughts?
For breakfast I’m going to have blueberry oatmeal + 3 eggs scrambled + 2 cups of coffee.
For snack: a protein bar, and then I’ll snack on a mix of almonds, dark chocolate and gummy bears :smiley:
This is nothing new to me though - I would stick with food you normally eat! No need for extra surprises on test day.
Planning on Salmon, Brown rice and broccoli tonight for dinner :smile:
Hmm. I am not a July taker, but I was able to register for September this morning (with confirmation email) with no problems. Someone on reddit said they called the LSAC who confirmed they opened it to everyone. I haven’t seen any other source for this though...

I am a big advocate of Stronglifts 5×5 its 3 times a week and is great for overall strength development. There is also a nifty app for tracking your progress
Stronglifts is awesome. I’m going to give the 9-5 school/study schedule a try, so probably evening. I have the best workouts late morning though so not sure how it’ll go.
^ Yup. Created my own LR drill-by-type packets this way.
Once so far :) Have signed up and backed out of 2. Will be retaking one (hopefully) last time.
Just commenting because someone else is in the Portland area! Seems like we are few and far between :)
Following. These are the bane of my RC existence :/ Especially author/other view point inferences.

This is my basic method:
Do the passage timed (note how long it took)
Blind Review - I do this by doing the entire passage and questions untimed, generally writing my reasoning next to each answer choice and noting where in the passage I found support for it.
Check answers, correct any reasoning issues.
Usually the next day (being kind of done with RC on the previous day haha) I will 'foolproof day 1' the passage. I do this by setting a time (usually shoot for under 8 minutes and as low as 5 for the easier passages) and do the passage over and over until I get all the answers correct within the time I set for myself (if incorrect answers, I may consult my BR copy to see the reasoning I wrote down for that question). After doing a section or two of this, I now usually only have to do the passage once or twice to be in the correct time.
The next day I will do the passage one more time (like you would logic games) to ensure I can still do it correctly and in good time.
Of course, I do remember certain details after doing the passage repeatedly. But I've found that I have also been able to remember more details upon first viewing a passage since foolproofing like this. I find I am also better at anticipating questions as time goes on, but that may be just from doing more RC in general, so take that with a grain of salt. The primary advantage to doing this is timing.
I decided to try this when I realized that, while my accuracy untimed was pretty good, I was only able to (barely) finish 3 passages when PTing. After foolproofing somewhere around 4-8 passages I PTed again, and I finished both RCs in time (used one as an experimental). Now my accuracy under timed conditions certainly does need work, but I am now consistently finishing sections, which is certainly a step in the right direction :smile:
Anywho, hope that helps :smile:
I was having the same issue, so I tried foolprofing RC like you would LGs. Worked wonders! I think sometimes we need to re-enforce what correct pacing feels like. Worked for me at least :)
Agree with the above. I've been working my way slowly to getting up at 5 (at 5:10 now) by adjusting my alarm back by about 10-15 minutes each week. Something crutial for me is no naps. It's kind of awful for a while, but to be properly tired at night it helps to not sleep during the day, at least until a few days after you've switched your alarm. It's no kind of fun, but stick with it! It gets better - kind of like the LSAT ;)
YES! I tend to get that way if I stack multiple heavy study days in a row. Usually taking a day off cures it for a while :) I know it's all in my head, and am learning how to regulate that kind of anxiety better over time. Don't worry - it's perfectly normal!
Yeah, I didn’t have any problems today thankfully! Just a little paranoid :blush:
