Yeah, that sounds right. Having an F on your transcript really hurts.
As far as the addendum, I'd be really careful with that. You really don't want to be explaining that something is unfair. It's their job to know how that works and they really do…
Have you done any repeat sections on RC? My most productive work in RC came on doing sections I'd previously done a month or two before. I'd remember just enough about the passage content that I could free up a little mental energy to really see the…
Yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about watch management under time. Having a watch face with color coded 8:45 sections can be kinda useful, but even that is largely arbitrary. Very few games/passages hit the average time in reality. For most games at…
A long time, haha. I could have done it faster if I had started out with good study practices, but I suppose that's a part of the process for a lot of people. About a year and three months from start to finish for me. I'd say the first three months …
@"Lauren L" , yeah that's something that comes up a lot throughout this process. People who aren't on the inside of it really just don't understand. It seems crazy to them that a test could take over a year to prepare for. That's the situation thoug…
Thank you for sharing page 1 of your autobiography Josh!
If only it were page 110, I'd have my GTown optional essay done, lol!
not everyone has the resource or time to afford the delay application, especially for international students.
Yeah, havi…
Yeah, technically the earliest you could start is this coming fall. Just understand that if you haven't started yet, you are WAY behind and would benefit greatly from that gap year.
I think this is a great quote. Stephen King is a brilliant writer and he really said it perfectly here. But that's kind of the issue. As beautiful as that line is, it's Stephen King's line. This is your story. This is your statement. It needs to be …
Yeah, I've got several traffic tickets that are not showing up on any of my state or local reports. I just said something like, "My certified driving record issued by [state/local departments of whatever] reports that I have 0 citations on my record…

should I still be taking one full PT every week and BR so that I don't regress on the other sections? Or, should I just focus on LG and start taking full PT again after completing the FPM on games 1-39?
Just focus on LG. Start P…

When I watched video explanations for some of the games JY would begin to talk about the format of the game and say something along the lines of "well this was a game from 97" as if its been phased out.

For me, by test day, there was just no questioning my ability to solve. But pacing and rhythm is something that has to be found in real time. Although I developed my pacing strategies and abilities to a high level, hitting that groove doesnt necessa…
That looks like a decent week. The thing I don't like, just in general, is planning out ahead of time what specific study methods you're going to need based on what day it is. I made a ton of these, and they never worked, lol. Learning just does not…

Is it normal for studying to move this slowly?
Only for top scorers;)
@montaha.rizeq said:
Honestly, you should change your title to "This Is How You Should Go Through The 7sage Curriculum, Dammit!"
Agreed!
POE is a really important strategy. If it works for you, keep at it. Just don't let it keep you from picking a winner when you see one:) POE for POE's sake isn't beneficial beyond the point at which you know the right answer.
I do the equivalent of about 1 section. 1 RC passage, 2 games, and then the first 10 - 15 questions in an LR section. That leaves me warmed up without tapping into any significant amount of mental energy. It took me awhile to find the sweet spot, an…
The Starter comes with the entire curriculum same as the Ultimate+. The primary difference is the amount of time you get access and the number of PTs that you'll get explanations for. Providing the questions for these explanations is where the licen…

Did you get a 180?

Haha, no. That was the man himself, @"Cant Get Right". I just like repeating that line, motivation you know?
Haha, yeah, that's one of my stories that I sometimes tell to encourage people…
The LG sections will be titled appropriately, but there's just so much else that goes into it. I wouldn't even know how to begin parsing out which lessons are relevant to LG and which aren't. If you're just starting out, I'd recommend going in order…
This is a tough one. I wouldn't cut exercise all together, but I may become more utilitarian with it. Just do something for a half hour in the morning to get your blood pumping and save the rock climbing for breaks and maybe weekends. If it's a stud…
I took a lot of 2 day breaks, several week breaks, and a few two week breaks. I'm not sure how to describe how I knew what I needed, but I always knew. And I never atrophied during a break. I actually found that returning from a break was always whe…
You're going to need lots of practice. I developed my own method loosely based off of Nicole's and it took me about two weeks of drilling before I could use it effectively. I just wasn't used to it at first and I kept having to consciously remember …
You need to be doing PTs. Use your performance on your PT/BRs to identify which sets you'll benefit from. It's way too close to time to be approaching the test so broadly. You need to be identifying and targeting specific weaknesses.
@rochelleb180 I guess you could think of validity as perfect support.
Support is much more abstract than a premise. A premise is a statement from the argument. You can point to it, underline it, and quote it. Support isn't anything that exists in s…
