Quick Silver - a method that works well for me is to answer all the questions on a two page spread,and before turning the page, fill in the answers for all of them. I look at the q number, look at the circled answer, look at the number on the scantr…
From personal experience (I've taken LSAT twice) I would strongly recommend no alcohol within a week of the test. I had a few drinks this weekend leading up to December and I feel fine, but now I plan on having none until Dec. 6. Everyone is differe…
I took in September and one month beforehand set several guidelines for myself, which seemed to help. Maybe you will find them helpful:
1. No screens starting at 9:30pm. If you can help it, no bright lighting either. I can't fall asleep easily in th…
@eddygomar I've added you.
@jayswims sorry to hear that (jk). But judging by your username it sounds like it won't ever stop you from getting to Manhattan. Are you interested in weekend practice tests?
I'm sorry but the rotating bezel was the WORST. I got the standard casio watch and it threw me off so bad. Maybe I just should have practiced with it more but I did a few PT's with it, and the thing is during the actual test it didn't work for me.

I'd say yes.
Something similar happened to me- I'm shooting for t14, scored a 167 and missed a bubble costing me 2 points. I've been PTing higher and definitely retaking in December.
A 167 is the median for Berkeley, so if you want T14 I'd say ret…
This happened to me on the day of the test, after the 3rd section. After I had scored in the 170's on my last PT. I'm retaking and trying to resolve what caused it.
If I could give you any advice, I would suggest what I've done so far, which is sp…
It's not a waste of time. I took in December 2013 and scored well. I'm re-taking to score higher (I cancelled Sept., re-taking Dec 14). I restarted 7Sage completely to prepare for September and my second PT was a record by 3 points. Taking time to r…
i just looked this up about the NYPL rooms, which is a cool idea. http://www.nypl.org/node/58071 the only problem is it looks like there's a 2 hour limit. @amj are you aware of any time limit at your branch?
The Main Branch is SO noisy. That said, I scored great on my PT there, even though I felt distracted. I think part of it for me is the pressure, not just noises. I need to be in a situation where it feels closer to the real thing, and that probably …
I cancelled my score as well. My last PT was an all time high. I just derailed in the real thing. But I'm determined to nail it in Dec. I'm in NYC, and so down for group tests. @Grace glad to hear you're feeling better.
I cancelled for a different reason. I had two RC's and I just wasn't on point today. Some distractions in the room and I didn't handle them well. I took it before and got a 167, and my last PT from two days ago was 172. I think I felt a lot of press…
I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with Louie on the "spend all day alone" part. I feel like isolating oneself in one's room for an entire day is not the best idea. Do what makes you feel good/normal. I love to eat, jog, and read. I also love a good …
I agree. Don't take another one. Rest. Do easy LG drills if anything. one low score means absolutely nothing, honestly. Wanna redeem yourself? Do it Saturday.
I said this in another post, that the last PT I took was like, the lowest one ever. I went on and scored higher than my average the day of the test. If you can identify something that went wrong (not eating enough, other distractions), that caused y…
Hi Jordan,
I'll be doing PT 70 tomorrow. I think some people like to take the last few days off, which I totally get. But I'd like to feel warmed up and have the experience 2 days before. Haven't decided if I will grade it or not. Probably will, an…
I think two is fine; I've been doing 2 PTs per week: Sat/Sun 5 Section/4 Section, with BR and drills during the week (I work full time), and that has felt good. I'm taking my last PT tomorrow. Whatever you do, don't do anything on Friday. Do some ex…
I'm going to take my last PT (70) tomorrow morning. I got permission from my boss to get to work early and take it in the conference room- a 4 section from 8 to 10:30. Then, I'm working until 1 pm and taking the rest of the day off: going to get a m…
