The Septimus Notes

|Damned unfair.|

I've come to a few conclusions about myself and the LSAT.

1) I have to go faster. I've improved my ability to undertake difficult questions, but I have not improved my speed on the test overall.
2) If I can improve my speed (my accuracy on all the tests I've done so far being between 90 and 100% for the questions that I actually get to) then there is no reason why I should not achieve a really competitive score on the examination, barring unforeseen difficulties (i.e. dysentery, a bad batch of #2 lead, etc.).
3) I just took a Reading Comprehension section, trying to keep my time below 10min (although below 8.5min would be ideal). Time: 5 minutes.

That Reading Comp. section was on Mitochondrial DNA. I'd be ashamed if it took me more than 8 minutes to breeze through it, but damnitall if these very technical passages of the RC section don't give some students an advantage. 3 of the 6 questions did not even require my looking at the passage (but of course I did, for good measure).

Yay for me should there be a technical passage on the real test in October on Mitochondrial DNA, but blastitall if it's on particle physics or central nervous system functions.
