PT 72 Blind Review:

LR1 -1 LR2 -1 RC -1 (can't for the life of me understand any explanation for this one question) LG -2 (ehhh)

Raw 96 Scaled 177. 3/5 LR misses were SUPER obvious as well as 2 of my RC misses. That one RC question I swear is jacked up somehow......

More LG drills for tonight and then another PT tomorrow,not sure which I'll use. I have 61 and 75-80 on hand and perfectly clean, and will probably get Super Prep II so I can have C2. I have 73 but that was used for the E-test so I'll probably break that up into times sections/experimentals. 74 I could potentially use for a PT since we only used the RC but I'm hesitant to do that unless absolutely necessary.

Is C2 LG really hard? I keep coming across this, and was wondering if I should spend money for Superprep 2 if I have around 8 PT's to go over.

I did C2 on Sunday. Ive done harder LG sections in regular PT's. It wasnt that hard. I did get -1 wrong though but because I read a question wrong.

I just got a 166 on PT 75, absolutely bombed RC and LR1. I feel physically sick, this is my 2nd lowest score post diagnostic and is my lowest in 2 months.

If it's your lowest in 2 months, then it's probably just a fluke. I know it's easy to get nervous about screwing up the same way on the actual test, especially since it's so close, but have a beer and put it behind you. Take another pt on Thursday and redeem yourself.

Worst part is this was my best performance in games to date. I went -4 in LR 1 then -7 in RC, missing all but one Q on that last passage. Take that plus a mediocre -2 on LR2 and a steep curve and you get my super shitty score.

I wish this damn test was a month later, I'm not exactly where I want to be, but September is too far away. Really hope I don't have to retake.

I'm starting to play games of "if I get scores below x do I bother"

I have no idea how I can keep studying like this until September. I've put so much of my life on hold for this test and I'll have completely used basically every PT 29+ so I can't take any fresh tests. Ive been thinking maybe I'll just drop my T13 or bust mentality and just go to Vandy but then I remember how vast the big law placement difference is between T20 and T13

[Slippin' Jimmy]

To add insult to injury my LR experimental was -1 so easily the best section of the test. Really hard finding the motivation to BR but I know I have to do it.

For some reason I'm thinking I'm gonna get a 172, but with my low gpa, I don't think it's good enough. So I'm not sure what I'll do if that's the case.

It depends on what you're shooting for really.

I'm in the same boat where I could get like a 172. Idk if I would be happy with that. Reality is I only started studying again like 2 months ago and I can't shake the feeling that I could do better if I waited

I'm the opposite. I want this thing to come quick. I wish it were next week. I'm on a hot streak (minus the RC on 68 which was obviously rigged against me).

Did some RC and LG but I was soooo out of it/ not caring today. Just one of those days where I was super out of it.

[zkyggi]

PT 69:

LR1: -3
LG: -0
RC: -3
LR2: -1

174

I haven't studied in two days, and I think it did me some good.

[zkyggi]

Took the weekend off to charge the batteries. Drilled yesterday and this afternoon. About to take PT 69. Will post results later. Hoping for 172+

Eerily similar schedule, except I took Sunday/Monday off instead.

Going to do PT 60-80 before test day. Let's do this!!!

20 PTs in this short amount of time? Don't burn out yo..

Yeah man I'm only doing 9 more. 3 a week. Your plan seems like a heavy lift (but go for it if you want)

Yikes, now I feel like I'm slacking. I have 4 more tests (74, 78, 79, 80).

Totally fumbled on the 1-Yard line and had to kick a field goal on PT 68 today.

RC: -1
LR 1: -3
LR 2: -1
LG: -3

93/101 - 174 scaled. Super disappointed with my LG score. I had 12-13 minutes going into the last game, but miraculously wasted about 7 of those minutes on one fucking question. I don't know why I didn't just cut my losses and move on, but I essentially ran out of time and had to guess on the last 3 questions. Like I said: fumbled on the 1...

[Amerision]

Damn, why does the September thread have so many pages?

They go more off-topic, I don't think it's all prep related

Getting a 174 is still basically blowing the other team out, so if you fumbled on the 1 but still crushed the cross town rivals, that's a big win my friend. Keep it up!

Platopus, we are on the same boat. Did PT 68 on Sunday.

LR 1: 0
LR 2: 0
RC: -1
LG: -1
Score: 180

Experimentals:
PT 13.3 (RC): 0
PT 14.1 (LG): 0

Notes: If I could maintain that kind of focus during test day, it'll be great. LR: Half-guessed 2 or 3 questions and got them right. Intuitively I thought they were right, but even after doing BR I couldn't exactly pinpoint why. RC: Last passage was confusing. Wasn't completely sure of 4 of the 5 questions, so had to ruthlessly pick apart all the choices. LG: Last game was hard. Had around 13-15 minutes for the last game and still couldn't finish it. Scrambled in the last 2 minutes and managed to save 2 points, but it could have easily gone south.

Now this is blowing out the other team!!!! Wow, way to go. Haha and you were wondering if you should postpone??? Jeez, save some goat sacrifices for the rest of us.
