If you saw a drastic change in the 60s and 70s, is it possibly the comparative passages that are throwing you off? Most of us approach them differently than we do the other passages. I use J.Y.'s method where I read Passage 1, then go through the …

@"Kings Never Die" said: @"Habeas Porpoise" Thank you for this RC review template! very helpful : ) No problem! I'm glad it helps!

You can drill RC! I think it's a misconception that RC can't be practiced. @AllezAllez21 talks about this in his AMA, and I adapted something similar to what he does for my own practice. Start with an RC section you've already done, and go passage…

I occasionally go through my flashcards for conditional logic, but otherwise don't really flashcard anything. I do, however, go back to questions I've flagged from the CC/old PTs and attempt them again -- especially those tricky 4/5-star questions …

I used to be the same way! When I first got into PTing after the CC I used to have about 5 questions that I didn't even get to at the end of my LR section. For me, it was a confidence issue. After circling the right AC in 30 seconds, I would spend …

I was an Economics major (switched from Biochemistry after freshman year) -- never took a class on logic, though I had a couple math classes that required formal proofs. My diagnostic was really low But on the aspect of outside knowledge other tha…

Congrats!! Thanks for the positive and motivating post!

I get you -- I had to keep editing my schedule, too! I was working (interning) full-time and had events I had to attend that seemed to constantly mess with my plan. Also, some concepts were more difficult and I had to spend more time than I'd orig…

Echoing what others have said, I never finished all the problem sets in one sitting unless there were very few. I usually spaced them out over two or three days. However, I personally never moved on to the next section until I had finished all the p…

Yeah, I get this, too. Sometimes a stimulus just make me think the author had a bad case of word vomit. During a timed PT, I would circle it an come back at the end. You might find that, having mostly finished the section, you can concentrate on th…

I've had this problem before, and I recommend following the words with your pencil. I occasionally circle key words (conditional indicators, ctx). This keeps me in focus without hindering me on time. I don't know if this pertains to you, but I wou…

I completely agree with this. I used to PT in my room in the kind of clothes I wear at home (old, two-sizes-too-big, stuff I wouldn't wear out) without my contacts on. I can see nearby and only need glasses/contacts for seeing far away, but realized…

I also strongly, strongly recommend going through the CC in order. The stuff you learn in LR will help you score better on LG and RC. Specifically, conditional logic taught in the LR section of the CC is crucial for doing well in LG, and effecti…

Hey! I've had a similar issue with 50/50 and this is what's helped me, though it echoes much of what @"nessa.k13.0" and @"Leah M B" have already said: Slow down while reading: if you spend time up front with the passage you won't have to waste as …

@randolphportugal I know this is a (partially) serious post, but this entire thread made me laugh, so thank you for starting it!
-
Great motivational post! I feel like we should a section just for posts like this! It's important to put the test into perspective -- I know a lot of people see is as a roadblock preventing them from reaching their dreams, and while the test is und…

I don't believe there's a set way to approach them, since "proposition" can come up in different stems. Proposition itself just means “a statement or assertion that expresses a judgment or opinion.” You can remove the word "proposition" and the mean…

@"J.Y. Ping" said: Hey everyone, two updates: The live commentary videos are up. S1 is here: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/preptest-82-s1-lr-live-commentary/ I added another BR call for Saturday evening to review Passage 4 sinc…

@terrynicholasj You can still withdraw until the night before the test and it won't show up on your record -- but you won't get a refund on your registration payment (since you didn't change before the deadline). From the day of the test through the…

Hey @"Alex Divine"! Could I join in on this, too? I'm most likely postponing December to take in June instead so I have more time. I finished the CC a couple months ago so I'm good to join PT BR calls anytime. I live on the West Coast (PST) so time …
-
Hey @FerdaFresh! I haven't done PT 82, but for comparative passages I strongly second what @kellysmelly wrote about keeping in mind how Passage A and Passage B are related to each other. Other then that, I usually go about it the same as I go about …

Hey! Inference questions are actually MBT rather than MSS, though they're really similar. You can see the explanation specifically in this lesson: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/how-to-approach-must-be-true-questions/. In the syllabus just look f…

Hey! It's great that you're seeing improvement! If you're feeling exhausted, I wonder if maybe you're taking too many tests in a week? It would help if you gave a little more info for RC specifically, too: Are you not finishing all the passages, or …

@"side braid" Could you add me, too? I'm most likely taking the Dec. test.

Same here! And sorry Dillon, I actually just emailed you because I thought no one else was having a problem.
