I studied about 5 hours per day on average, but some days I studied only 30 minutes or so (these were break days). I took breaks every couple of hours. "Studying" for me meant moving through the Core Curriculum and reviewing it as well. I didn't use…

I agree with keets993 I'd say. This will not be easy at all, but it is doable! You should not continue to take PTs until you have worked much more with the basics. Focus on using the Core Curriculum to attack the test part by part and improve in spe…

Hi there! I used the same recommendation letters for all of the schools to which I applied. My personal statement was the same as well, but I wrote additional Why X essays where appropriate. My diversity statement was tweaked a bit for each school. …

Perhaps I was overthinking it and freaking out about nothing. It's hard for me to resist reading into these things. Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it.

I'm super late on this...but I'd like to post anyway. I prefer Main Point questions because they feel like the easiest to me, and MBT questions because I like using conditional logic. I also enjoy flaw/des weakening questions where the argument make…

Oh, blurry eyesight? I am so sorry to hear that. I would suggest trying to change your mindset a bit. In addition to deep breathing, it can be helpful to think to yourself, "I have prepared for this day" or "I have done my best up to this point, now…

Hi there! I never use a second copy of the test, I just extensively go over the same copy I have before I grade it. I like seeing the marks from my previous thought processes under timed conditions and reanalyzing the answer choices I thought were w…

@greybrownblue Sure! It's tough to say, because I tended to focus on daily goals based on what I wanted to accomplish that day (Finish X lessons of the Core Curriculum, or BR Y section of my latest PT) as opposed to how long it would take. I also t…

I can't tell you whether or not to take the test, but I will say this: the higher your score, the more each and every question matters. What I mean by that is that the difference between a 170 and a 171 can be a single question. Similarly, the diffe…

Being able to quickly recognize question stems is a time saver. Especially with NA, SA, PSA questions and other similar questions. Instead of flashcards with isolated question stems, I wrote down the question stem for every LR question in both secti…
