I'm just curious because you've done or taught every question ever released and have basically "prepped" to the max. If you were to actually register and do the real thing would you get a 179-180? I know it's a stupid question but I'm just curious.
I think I heard JY say once that he's like the fat old coach yelling instructions from the sidelines and you guys are the players on the field trying to execute. I find that to be relatively apt. The truth of it is that we're not really in 'test condition' - the pressure-filled test-taking atmosphere simply isn't present when we sit down to record explanations or do sections, so we're not as razor-sharp as we were back when we took the test ourselves. Our much deeper knowledge of the test definitely makes up for that to some extent, but being thrust without warning back into that kind of pressure cooker can do some wonky things. Drop the fat old coach into the middle of a live game and it might take a bit for him to readjust to game's speed and ferocity. Obviously, there's no physical fitness component to the LSAT, but you get the point.
Then again, on the plus side, there's also no way we can ever again replicate that feeling in the pit of your stomach that a lot is riding on this one test, since we've already been through the crucible and come out the other side. That's a huge load off our shoulders and a big advantage.
I'd be pretty surprised if JY missed more than a couple questions even in his current 'fat old coach' stage, but if you gave him a few months to get back to an optimal state of test-preparedness I doubt he'd do anything but crank out 180s.
I think it'll be close to 180 or high 170s. There is a video of Jonathan or JY doing an LR section under test timing conditions and he finishes the section in around 18-19 mins with -0.
I am not sure if the section was a "FRESH" never before seen section and if that's the case also with recent LG and RC, but it'd be very interesting to see video of JY or Jonathan doing PT-78 sections under strict timed conditions.
Anyone know if and when they do the newly released PT as a fresh timed test??

But this game is like guessing how many marbles are in the jar...you can't NOT guess...154!
