  • I haven't tested yet but I do know someone who had the following trajectory: 171 first time 165 second time 176 third time These are amazing scores. And at the same time, when this person saw their 165, they panicked and doubted everything about…
    in Score Release Day-Feeling Defeated Comment by darman45 August 28
  • @lukerldavis said: I hope there is no rule against reviving old posts, but I have struggled with reconciling how answer choice D is correct and here is how I addressed it broadly and concisely: Broad Flaw: The counselor is using their maj…
    in PT49.S4.Q23 - Counselor: Constantly comparing oneself to those Comment by darman45 August 27
  • Had the same thing happen to me a few times. For me, I think it was anxiety about doing poorly on the test. I usually don't struggle with things like this but I think that most people who are on your study regimen have put pressure on themselves to…
    in Focusing on PTs is a nightmare Comment by darman45 August 14
  • Love reading through this thread!! I wouldn't characterize myself as an older applicant, but reading this thread has been inspiring nonetheless. I think it's cool that people come into this journey at different points in their lives, and based on ex…
    in Still studying for the LSAT at 28 Comment by darman45 August 13
  • thanks @anahibgonz !! I was thinking about this more last night and feel like the most motivational thing I came up with was the fact that the practice tests are limited. Even though it may not feel like it in the moment, every time you answer one o…
    in How to have your head in the game during practice? Comment by darman45 August 13
  • this was so helpful for me!! I like your tips for LR - the fact that they're all really short and succinct is exactly what I needed but didn't even know I needed. Thanks for this!

    in 404 error? Comment by darman45 August 11
  • @Bryanna A I feel like it's been happening more recently lately, but hard to say for a fact if it's gotten worse. Would love it if admin could explain why these errors keep happening and what they're doing to prevent them in the future, because righ…

  • @laurenscotter I've seen them clear it up in about an hour once before, not sure if it'll be the same thing again this time. Hopefully it'll be sooner, lol

  • congrats!!! it's nice to be reminded that other people are on this journey, are pushing through, and getting good results
    in Finally Broke the 170 Barrier! Comment by darman45 August 11
  • @josephdurante fair enough. I had the same thing: my very first PT included logic games. I hated it and decided to study for the new version without logic games, which meant going through the core curriculum on 7sage, reading some books, etc. When i…

    in ERROR 404 - 7Sage Comment by darman45 July 30
  • I think your plan is pretty good. Only thing I'd caution you with is to make sure you aren't just burning through drill questions for the sake of knowing that you can do easy mode + difficult mode, since those questions are ultimately pulled from a …
    in Needed Evaluation on My Study Plan Comment by darman45 July 30
  • I agree with Oneofsixatninezerofive. I don't have the exact same situation as you do, but we have a few similarities. Covid hit in the middle of my undergrad, which was all huge pre-med classes, anyway. So I have also felt a little worried about ask…
    in Letters of Recommendation Addendum Comment by darman45 July 24
  • I feellllll you. Before I relate though, let me just say: forget about the Diamondbacks and the Rangers. Look at the Phillies. 2005 (didn't win series): won 88 games 2006 (didn't win series): won 85 games 2007 (didn't win series): won 89 games 2…
    in Downbeat after a Personal Best? Comment by darman45 July 21
  • Just adding to what's already been said here - I wouldn't sweat it tooooo much if you don't finish the core curriculum! I started taking PTs after I finished the Foundations because I just got so antsy and nervous about not knowing if I was actually…
    in I Can't Focus Comment by darman45 July 18
  • I think that if your goal is to score 170+, and you're choosing between September or October, maybe go for October. The advice I've heard a few times now is to register for the test once you're scoring within a handful of points of your goal score.…
    in September or October? Help Comment by darman45 July 17
  • ^^ I agree with kwyoung707, specifically about the 10 minute break. When I first started taking PTs, I didn't use the 10 minute break at all, I would just try to get through all 4 sections with no break. After a few PTs, I realized that taking the t…
    in How to get rid of burnt out and headache when taking a full pt? Comment by darman45 July 15
  • I had practically the same thing happen to me: I took a PT wayyyyyy before I started studying and got a 149. Then, I finished the Foundations on 7Sage + going through half of Loophole in Logical Reasoning (took me about 2 months). Took another PT an…
