Good luck y’all! Currently studying for February and just dumped lightyear after ~ 6 months using it, so at least y’all have that to laugh about

may i ask why you dumped LY? I'm curious because I did as well. Started making own cards from BAB but it's been a huge time sink

To be honest, I should have dumped it way earlier. I could tell when I first started it that I wasn’t going to be a fan of it, just due to the fact that there are so many repeated cards that focus on random factoids from his lessons. This became even more apparent when it came time to do reviews, as the cards become more and more random based on how often you lapse them.

TL;DR: I felt like the cards lost all sense of context and my time would be better spent doing questions —> honing in on weak areas —> reviewing entire concepts by rewatching his videos

Yeah I definitely wish I had focused more on practice questions. Practice questions are clearly the key.

My February score report says it expires Aug 28, Im pretty sure they usually expire before the new ones are released.
 
It's been the Friday after for every test other than Feb. I would be really surprised if it wasn't today since people are needing to apply with this score
 
got my score...

Just called and spoke with JL on the phone, he said "They could come out anytime between now and next Friday" ... 😢

I think that's a fair point, and the repeated cards is the biggest complaint of the deck. Thankfully, lots of people have had success with the deck so I am sure the deck is useful for some people while not very good for others.
 
Doubt we’ll get them today. If they haven’t sent them out 3:30 EST, unlikely they will send them before 5
 
Sup guys heard there was a delay bc some broskis taking it at anchorage prometric had an outage. Made sorries but I'm sure everyone did rad. Just chillax scores will be out soon or mad soonish

I sincerely love everything about your online persona and I hope to god that's how you talk irl
 
HAHAHAH thanks 'skett yeah nothin but the realest here. I mean idk if the bros out in anchorage are the cause of the delay but it wouldn't be the biggest shocker I've ever had
