30-Day LSAT Blog - Day 26

Well, I was strongly considering waiting on finishing the rest of the TDLB until after Monday. However, I have found that keeping this blog has been a great outlet, a place to vent, and a means to keep myself grounded.

Day 26 was my last day off from work before L-Day, so I drove to Shapiro and took PrepTest 51. I am pleased to inform the world that this was my best test yet, and here’s the breakdown:

  • LR1: 96%
  • RC: 82%
  • LR2: 92%
  • AR: 95%

Wow. This time last year I wanted to post scores like this, but I quickly decided that it was an irrational goal. But this was simply . . . wonderful. I took this test under ideal conditions: in a quiet room, serene settings, etc. I “practiced” bubbling in the sheet and the little sworn statement (what is this for, really, besides getting a handwriting sample?), and went to town. Once again, I did a practice section from an older preptest to simulate the experimental section, and once again I did that section first to even out the effect of testing fatigue.

Let me say this now: I pray to the LSAT gods above that Monday’s exam looks like Test 51. The AR section was three line games. Three. I finished in time to have cookies and milk!

Basically, I practiced so hard on LR that I think my score is going to be determined by one thing: can I solve an AR game in 8 min 45 sec? Oh boy!

Stay tuned, or not, it’s up to you.
