Yeah, as far as what to be doing now, I think @"Alex Divine" covered it. Those are absolutely the most important things. The only thing I might think of doing more proactively is you could consider taking a basic, intro level logic class if you've…
I've only been signed up for Admin Ultimate+ for a few days now, but I've been immediately impressed with David. His initial overview on my PS was spooky insightful and I love the changes he's recommended. He's not just editing line by line, he's …
Welcome! You've come to the right place! I know @danielznelson will probably want to jump all over this one, lol, but yes; lots of people on 7Sage have increased 20+ points from their very first diagnostic score. That does not reflect on your ult…
@tanes256 , it really depends on just how different you look. At my test center at least, they really stared people down. If hair was different, they made them hold it back or up or however to mimic the picture. They took it very seriously and re…

To be honest, I'd recommend getting at least a 7Sage start course.
Yeah, 7Sage curriculum is what did it for me. Very concise, very effective.
Nope @hakeemmuhammad498 . Just what is printed on your admit ticket. If it's an older picture, just make sure your appearance hasn't changed. If you look different or weird, it is at the proctors discretion whether or not to admit you. At my Septemb…
Excellent breakdown Anna! It's easy to forget exactly what your task is on these, so having a clear understanding of what you're supposed to be doing is kinda the first step. This looks like a very concise and comprehensive guide to me. I can't t…

Honors Thesis: Psychological Traps and the Legacy of the Old South in Faulkner’s Fiction.
Sorry for the aside, but this is just so all over my interests I just had to jump in and say that this is excellent.
Yeah, I had a lot of trouble with this as well. The answer choices all just seem so similar, and the main point is such a big, nebulous concept. One thing that really helped me was retaking old RC sections. It allows you to approach a passage wit…
Interesting. This has been happening for several years now, but I hadn't fully realized some of the implications that this article addresses, particularly: A consequence, not intended but inevitable, is that students who are less wealthy end up su…
It's definitely possible. You've already proved that it's possible by achieving those scores on PTs. I'm, of course, assuming you are PTing under strict conditions. It really will hinge on identifying what went wrong on test day. If you can iden…
That's an excellent question @"Corban S." . My accounts are still open, but I've pretty much been off social media for years. I hadn't even thought about this, but now that you mention it, I'll definitely be shutting mine down. I was on facebook …
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Any time you provide an unstated necessary assumption, you are strengthening the argument. This is a great example of how essentially interrelated the question types really are.
I gave myself somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 months for my PT phase. PTing/BRing really is just kind of the tip of the iceberg of what you're going to be doing, assuming you're doing it right. You're going to be exposing so many weaknesses in …
By strict schedule, I mean that every minute of every morning was predetermined. I had about a dozen alarms set to go off to tell me to go for a run or fix breakfast or do warm up drills or drink coffee or whatever the plan was. I designed it based …
Especially for Strengthen/Weaken questions. There are so many hypothetical things that could weaken an argument for example, that it can be quite hard to pre=phrase or anticipate exactly what the correct answer choice will be.
Except on SA, PSA, RR…
I maintained a very strict schedule in order to make sure I was in sync physically and mentally on test day, and I highly encourage it.
I did use a sleep aid which I had tested and knew for sure would wear off completely by the time I woke up.
For…
@bswise2 , thanks for posting! This is really comprehensive and well thought out.
So, for sufficient assumption questions, that rule is going to be absolute. It is impossible to construct a correct answer choice that violates this rule.
For streng…
Hey, I was a lit major too @Shownuff ! What was your main area of study?
And great point about looking stuff up. I studied Chaucer which is barely still English at that point, lol. At first, I straight up couldn't read it. By looking stuff up thoug…
