rainwatersparkSo I should have spent yesterday afternoon studying, but instead I wasted my time (doing what? I don't even remember). Oh well.
- Logical Games: I tend to get an average of 3 questions wrong on this section, usually through WTF-level dumb errors, but I can't really afford to fix that, because I have a hard enough time finishing all 4 games as it is. It depends on the difficulty of the particular test--sometimes I can finish all 4, sometimes only 3. It's really important to me that I be able to finish all 4, because I get a lot more right when I finish all the Games than when I only complete 3.
- Logical Reasoning: Good news: I'm making fewer errors than before. Bad news: I'm still making a number of errors. Sigh. More practice!
- Reading Comprehension: I'm starting to think that I should focus more effort on improving this section, because I've started to notice that it's a significant hindering factor on top of my LR mistakes. (To be honest, though, Reading Comp. was never my strong point, because I'm too easily misled by tempting answers and I'm a "read fast, take shortcuts" kind of person. Which works well for me in real life, since I can process a lot of information quickly, but doesn't work so well on standardized tests, where they really try to trip you up if you're not paying 200% attention to the text. :P)
Just for fun, I'll write down my plans for what I'll do after the LSAT is over, since the test date falls during our four-day break:
- Take LSAT.
- Go spend a gift certificate I have on frozen yoghurt.
- Go to the bookstore and spend ALL AFTERNOON READING FOR FUN.
- Repeat until I run out of books to read. [I have a number of books on my To Read list: Rick Riordan's The Mark of Athena, SRB's Unspoken, and Kat Zhang's What's Left of Me.]
- Spend evenings writing.
- (Homework what homework lololol)
