July test takers, what are y’all doing?

What’s your schedule from today to test day on Monday? I did my last PT (84) today and scored what i typically score. No ugly or sexy surprises. Tomorrow, i have plans to go to my doctor appointment, read the economist, drill one section for confidence and meditate.
On Thursday, I’m getting a facial, meditating, watching movies. Then Friday-Saturday i will be reading the economist and meditating and doing 1-2 confidence sections as well as preparing my zip loc bag with test day stuff. Sunday night — nothing — will probably binge watch a show or something.
What are y’all doing?

I'm going to do a few drills tomorrow and take pt 84 on Thursday. Friday I'm going to my favorite cigar lounge and read. Saturday do some yard work and maybe a few RC passages, then on Sunday do a few logic games, I actually enjoy doing them, and getting to sleep early.
I love this!
I'm currently reviewing preptest 84 (lightly). Out of all the practice tests I've taken, this has been my highest score. I'm really surprised because alot of people have said that this was their lowest preptest to date. This definitely increased my confidence. The LSAT is crazy (the understatement of the century).
After today I probably won't be doing any LSAT related activities before Monday. The rest of the week I will be reading some library books, hitting the gym, and watching movies. On Sunday I will print out my ticket and pack my ziploc bag. I'm also getting married on that Friday (7/27) so I'll probably be doing last minute wedding details.
Good luck everyone- we can do it!!!
OMG!!!!!! Congratulations! That must be so stressful. Studying for the lsat and planning a wedding. Wow.
One thing I am scared about for Monday is the surprise, weird logic game in each section. I keep telling myself I don't want to do any LSAT stuff until then but my 1-2 confidence sections end up turning into 4 confidence sections lol. But still, I'm not going hard like a timed conditioned PT!
Doing one final PT tomorrow, and then over the weekend I'll just be lightly drilling logic games and RC.
thank you so much! I'm literally making my mom do everything haha
. I know what you mean. I was only suppose to do a couple logic games today, but I ended up doing eight logic games haha. Can't stop won't stop.
Haha same I will probably go to my lounge- see if they have any Padrons in. I took my last PT today (C2) and scored my average. Just sections or single passages/games till test day for me.
@"LSAT Warrior Princess" Congratulations! What a crazy week for you! It's gonna be one to remember
In response to OP's question, I took my last full-length, timed, practice test at the law school I'm testing at in as close to testing conditions as I could get this past Monday. I BR'ed it yesterday. Today, I did half of 81, just doing timed sections with review. I'll do the other half of it tomorrow and then go to a wedding in the evening (yay for Thursday weddings!). Friday, I'm getting a massage and probably drilling some logic games. Saturday - I'm not sure if I'm going to do anything LSAT related that day... if I do, it'll be minimal and not timed. Sunday, I'm getting all my stuff set for the test, playing beach volleyball, and attempting to relax by watching something funny or inspiring. Day of will be: meditation, yoga, go for walk, do some brain warm-ups (mostly reading, maybe fool proofing an old game), and psyching myself up with some pump up music.
Each day mostly consists of the same things though:
Good luck to all of my fellow July test takers! We got this!
The Pardon Family Reserve is a fine stick. I haven't had any of there others. I am typically a Davidoff smoker.
My favorite smoke is the Padron 1964 Family Reserve. The 1926 is just a tad strong loses some of the Padron-dairy flavor. Love Davidoffs, great dessert cigar.
Like @Don_Draper I'm also planning on taking PT84 tomorrow! I'll be reviewing that on Friday, and then the weekend just chill out and go to the beach, maybe watch some shows or a movie in the evening, and going to bed early. I suppose I'll lightly go over some LR and a couple of those strange games they throw out, the one on PT79 got me good so I'll foolproof that as well.
Weekend plans also include drinking lots of water so I'm hydrated on Monday and won't be so thirsty during the test.
Monday morning I'll eat a light breakfast, and maybe go sit at the beach for a little to stay calm, but then head to the test center!
What are you all planning on eating for breakfast?
Also, congrats @"LSAT Warrior Princess" on getting married later next week! At least you won't have to worry about the test while you're getting married lol!
Hey all, best of luck!
I'm drilling today, reviewing tomorrow, and then exercise and relaxing all weekend.
@AngusMcGillis i tried drilling today and totally just didn't want to do it. it led me to getting questions i typically wouldn't get wrong, wrong. i'm sensing burn out. definitely not doing anything else for the rest of the weekend honestly lol
I'm having two avocado toast sandwiches and a bowl of kiwi and blueberries. this is what i eat for breakfast everyday. during the break i'll be having a special K bar and some gatorade!
Getting Indian food today! (My favorite). Positive thoughts. Getting ready to just do my thing on test day.
Crying bc I took pt 84 and got one of my lowest scores ever smh. Also going to a spa right now to calm down lol
@"surfy surf" omg!!! not to bust your balls but why did you take PT 84 TODAYYYY and not earlier this week lol
Yesterday did PT81 RC and BR'd it, today did a PT81 LR and PT81 LG. Tomorrow's plan is PT81 LR, BR'ing both LRs, plus some old In/Out games that I've already foolproofed for review. On the day of, I'm going to go for a run and do two confidence sections -- two sections that I went -0 on the first time.
It might seem like a lot, but I'm also doing lots of physical and outdoor activities and plan on going for a light run the morning of. This will be my second time taking it, and I feel so much more confident in my abilities and not full of dread like my first time.
(Also, I haven't taken PT84 and won't be doing so -- that should be fine, right??)
@hawaiihi that does sound like a lot. haha almost makes me feel shitty for not doing anything yesterday, today or tomorrow. on thursday, i was getting questions wrong while confidence drilling and they were questions i typically wouldn't get wrong. i was reckless and uncaring and just wanted to be done with. i sensed burn-out so i swore off fri-sun lol.
i've been hearing mixed things about PT84, people saying they took a dip but i found my score to be consistent and actually, one point higher than i've ever scored on a clean LSAT.
i pulled the muscle in my lower back two weeks ago trying to deadlift more than i normally could and thought i was gonna die lol and felt like an old cripple so i didn't go to the gym these past several days cause i was scared of hurting it more before the test.
anyways, i second the feeling confident the second time around. the first time it was like i knew i wouldn't be putting my full potential on display. this time, i'm up for it and know that it will be better than the last.
It's going to be a great rest of the weekend! I worked in the vineyard today, shot some archery, rode my bike, and played some video games. Later this evening I'm going on a hike and then to shoot my gun at old LSAT books. I can't wait to unleash into those books, it's going to be so gratifying! Then I'll be smoking a cigar with my brother and sipping on some port.
Tomorrow is going to be more vineyard work, trying to finally run a sub 7 minute mile, and then making the 4 hour drive to Denver to stay with my buddy before the test. Good luck everyone, get outside and relax!
Things I've done this week:
Exercise (running) - I cut miles a bit this week and chopped my planned mileage for Sunday by 2/3s. I found over the past month that my Sunday long runs really hurt my scheduled Monday timed PTs (high heat and humidity + high teens Sunday mileage equals foggy brain Monday). I plan to do 5-6 Sunday and then a short run around the neighborhood park ( <2 miles ) Monday morning just to trick my body into thinking it needs to energize.
I've also taken a 1-2 hour nap most days this week to ensure I'm totally rested and tried to eat as clean as possible (lots of salads).
I also have avoided the "last minute tips" or "I just bombed a PT" threads like the plague. Don't need that negative energy.
Good luck everyone!
Super excited for Monday! Took a PT yesterday and blind reviewed some of it today. Watched some JY videos on difficult logic games too. Watching Dark Knight Rises tonight and going to a concert in the park tomorrow. Best to not change too much in your schedule before the test. Wish you all the best!
Curious to know if you guys are grading your last PT, or lightly reviewing? I've heard grading can hurt confidence if it's a bad score?
Best of luck to you all, kick some ass!
I had the chance to take a proctored PT and wanted to get all my nerves out so I feel fine tomorrow. It doesn’t really wear me out to take PTs and I feel fine after aside from the brief wah I wasn’t happy with my score moment.
Today I’m burning through all the LGs in 60-70 lol
also curious, i'm not sure if i should grade the stuff i've been lightly reviewing lol
I ended up taking a practice test Thursday- Saturday. BRed. Today I took a nice long walk and I am going to hang out with friends. Good luck tomorrow everyone!
