@brna0714 is right. You don't receive a score and the section is not disclosed so you'll never see it again.
-
44-75 sounds good. Some people, myself included, prefer skipping around so that the newer tests don't come as so much of a surprise right before you have to take the real one. It may just be a psychological thing. I wouldn't say doing them all in or…
-
Another thing to think about: if you take 4, 5-section tests per week by inserting an additional section from the same test each time then you can effectively complete 5 tests per week. This gives you the benefit of more closely simulating the actua…

@gs556 said: 1) Get the sequencing and grouping game fundamentals down pat. Most of these are cookie-cutter and you need to whiz through them in 4-6 min each to leave you with the 8-13 minutes you'll need for each of the harder a games. This is aw…

If you are consistently at a 171 with a -5 LG score, then you are in prime position to advance deep into the upper 170's bracket. Drill games! You're essentially wasting your -4 and -1 in LR and RC (assuming these are consistent scores) if you don't…
-
It varies. I've found that RC is a little easier for me on earlier tests, and that the games are definitely weirder, which can mean harder (and are therefore beneficial so that you don't get into a groove of predictability). Overall, I think LR has …

@Pacifico said: If you're in the PTing phase I think that more time should be spent on BR than drilling. I would only use drilling to help a particular weakness (e.g.- grouping games, NA questions, etc.) Two PTs per week until October means you'll …

@Pacifico said: I'm sure you still have issues with your fundamentals, but for the time being you need to get used to PTing and you need to keep at them for another week or two so you can determine exactly where the shortcomings are in your fundame…

@gs556 said: POE for LR and RC is the optimal strategy. No doubt about it. Definitely; it is the fastest and most efficient way to achieve a high accuracy rate. Still pre-phrase when you can because this speeds you up a great deal and lends to a b…

@shaydamilani said: I found the method very helpful and easily realized stupid mistakes I was making during the exam from just not reading carefully. I know that timing is an issue for me, because I understand all of the concepts, but just have iss…

Agree with @brna0714! Asking "why" is a great way to stay engaged and improve understanding. Also, previewing the passages may end up costing you a minute or so of test time which could make the difference between finishing the last two questions an…
-
This is definitely a weird question stem! My interpretation of it is that we are looking for an answer choice that would strengthen Kim's explanation by refuting Lee's criticism of her explanation. Lee definitely points out a potential weakness in K…
-
If the schools you want to apply to only consider the highest score and you are taking an additional year off anyway, I think you would be remiss to not take the exam again. You have the time, and with 2 full run throughs through the curriculum, you…
-
@profile427 those stats are from LSAC and do not take into account any differences within the test takers. Some people will just take the test again without studying at all hoping to do better with additional exposure on the second time around. Some…
-
Taking practice tests is a good plan! Use the trainer to work on the question types that are giving you most trouble; sometimes a different perspective will do the trick. Consistently finishing 7 minutes early in LR is really fast lol. If you aren…

The problem here lies with the order of your variables. Your diagram reads: "Most people who do not do research on their own invest in the stock market." The correct diagram, though, reads, "most people who invest in the stock market do not do re…

Good stuff! Keep crushin it!
-
Change your mindset, change your world! Or whatever the saying is... there's still 11 weeks until the October test! That's a lot of time to improve LG, just keep practicing. For a lot of people, you get to a point where things just seem to click and…

Well, you've said that you've been studying for 7 weeks, but have only been focusing on logic games for a week and a half, so any judgment you make about your progress in logic games has to be made taking this into account. Speed making inferences w…

This is a MSS question type, so we are looking for an answer that has a high level of support. The 4 incorrect answer choices will likely have absolutely no support. This is helpful for us because we can quickly eliminate these unsupported AC. The…
-
If you're scoring a 160 you need to pick up at least 15 raw points to get you into 170 territory. Assuming you max out games, that still leaves you with 10 more questions you have to get out of LR and RC, which is definitely doable. Do all the LG …
-
@jyang72 yea on RC especially the test writers often combine two concepts from different parts of the passage to formulate a wrong answer choice, making your brain feel like it's a good answer because it recognizes a couple key words. When you're do…

Let's key in on what the stimulus is about: all animal species, or all mammalian species? The first sentence makes clear it is about the latter, so it is important to note that the only thing we have information about is mammalian species. This is …

Also, buying and working through at least 2 or 3 of the 10 Actuals books is a better use of money and time than the bibles, imo
-
@jyang72 that's exactly what you should do, and it will help you with detail-specific recall/reference location also. Win win.

POE on RC FTW
-
I'm assuming you are referring to PT26, S2, Q9, about early pencil leads. First, this is a most strongly supported question. This does not mean that the correct answer must be true or can be 100% validly inferred, rather the question is simply aski…

I had no idea... "Those who chewed gum showed improvements in their working memory (the ability to hold on to and manipulate information for brief periods of time,) their episodic memory (the ability to retain information long-term,) and in their p…

@lschoolgo this is some great advice: @nicole.hopkins said: And then ... you guessed it ... Read them, practicing your active reading skills. Watch videos of JY doing RC sections. Engage with visual cues, tactile learning, etc. IMO ... Don't worr…

Conclusion: the price of cement is influenced by the price of oil. Why? Because turning the ingredients into cement uses a lot of energy. So, the oil must be being used as a source of the kilns' energy if the price of cement is being influenced b…
