I would recommend that you start foolproofing now because if you want to take the July test, you need to be taking pretests as SOON as possible! I would suggest delaying if that is possible, but of course it all depends on what you're trying to scor…

This was helpful! I found it helpful to also look at the trial they provided. I think I'm okay with everything else, but the RC section scares me. I like being able to scribble along the sides
-
For sure! I took PTS 38-40 LR recently and I'm already seeing a little bit of improvement, more confidence with choosing an answer, circling and coming back to it rather than wasting my time, and more. You got this!
-
Thank you so much! I'm hoping that happens for me too. Did you see a huge difference between LR from 40s/50s to 60s onwards? @cooljon525 said: @Princess said: @"Victoria." said: If timing is your issue, I think g…

@"Victoria." said: If timing is your issue, I think going through the 40s and 50s could definitely help. Try doing an LR "bootcamp" for a week or 2 where you concentrate the bulk of your studying on doing timed LR sections (2 LR sections per d…
-
Hey! I feel like I'm in the same boat as you. What I'm doing is actually taking a week or two to just take timed sections for LR. I'm doing like 2-6 timed LR sections from the 40s and 50s. Then, I'm going to start taking full PTs from the 60s-now, b…

This is going to be so helpful! Thank you so much!
-
Quick question- Should I BR before this on my own assuming we won't be going over every single question or should I just take the test and BR with the group?
-
Thank you for this!
-
Hey! I try to just star the questions or print them off if they bother me a lot. This way, I can keep track of the questions and review them often in my binder. Otherwise, I guess you could try to take a screenshot and just save it onto your compute…
-
This upsets me because I don't watch this show and I wish I did, so I could understand this!
-
Wow! Congratulations! I will probably message you and get advise on personal statement if that's okay with you later on.
-
Wow! There has been some great great great advise already! I think I often struggle with this as well because I will start thinking that just because I'm not seeing any jumps in my scores, maybe I'm not doing this properly. Just simply taking a brea…
-
Thank you so much! I appreciate this so much, 7sage!
-
Hi! I would love to do so! Message me if you like
-
This would be so great and helpful in July/August. I bet it will be really stressful to be doing all the applications and it helps so much to know that we have your support in this journey. Please continue these office hours!
-
Wow! That's fantastic advise! I will definitely have to try that tomorrow and aim to attempt 20/21 because I think I do get overwhelmed with trying to get to all of the questions. Good luck and keep working hard!
-
Wow! Congrats on that score though! Would you be able to share your tips as to how you got consistently less than 5 wrong? I am struggling with LR so much right now and stuck in the 60s
-
You're completely right! I'll probably start doing evens then. Do you have tips for LR because I feel like I'll miss like 10 sometimes, but when I BR... I will get like -3/4? LR is already so frusterating in the 60s, 80s will be a nightmare then! …
-
Wow, this is all great advise! Just thought I'd chime in here and ask for advise, I'm planning to take the test in July, so do you think 60s to now, with two tests each week sounds like a good plan for 170+? I just took 60 and scored a 162 with a BR…
-
That was really helpful! Thank you so much! I need to try to be more mindful and ask myself those questions. Hopefully, I can close on this gap. I took PT 60 and jumped to 162, so I guess that's good news for now. Small steps hopefully to 170+ @…
-
I think getting through the lessons shouldn't be a problem. You should be able to finish the curriculum and start foolproofing the games. You may even be able to do some drilled timed logical reasoning or reading comp sections. You would need to tak…
-
Hey! What I am doing is trying to PT on two days during the week, Blind Review the next day, and then drill the weak question areas. I am also foolproofing games everyday if possible, even if that means for 30 minutes before I go to bed or first thi…
-
That's amazing! Don't get discouraged if you don't see huge jumps in your PTs scores at the beginning. I feel like I have to keep telling that to myself too because I want to just understand it all, but it's okay. Look into timing strategies and kee…
-
I voted Top 10, especially if you have such an amazing scholarship offer. I feel like that would just save so much stress in the future that could happen trying to repay those loans. It's like choosing between prestige or your peace. I would definit…
-
Hey! I don't think it changes anything in the analytics because I don't put in the BR answers for the questions that match my original answer already. It automatically counts them I believe.
-
Hey! I agree with the above advice that it would be helpful to foolproof games 1-35. I saw a huge jump in my scores when I did that. Also, I would encourage you to take some of the newer tests because the tests have changed a bit. I don't want you t…
-
Hey! I used to rush and try to BR right away, but I think it is honestly better to take a break. I try to give myself at least a few hours, but the next day is better. This way I feel like I'm not stuck in the same thought process and can actually h…
-
Haha it's okay to have a "fun" day once in a while. What made you want to take the test today? I would've been too lazy and lacking the motivation. Maybe you can still BR it to get better understanding of the material or just do it again as timed se…
-
Hey! I think this would depend on your abilities and how much studying you think can do in a certain amount of time. I try to set blocks of studying where I will try to do atleast 10 logic games, in another set, I will do a timed LR/ RC section, and…
