@"Jae Won Hur" Wow that's definitely a lot more regimented than mine! What I used to do was just set out 3-5 sections/day and do them timed then BR and reviews. I admire how you incorporate your mental/physical health into y…
@RafaelBernard dude, i was the same way. then i downloaded this app called "Headspace" and it's been great. When I say 30 minutes, it takes me like 5 minutes to get set up, 10 minutes to meditate, 5 minutes to wind down, etc. I feel SO MUCH better a…

Here's what I'm trying to do right now. All of this is driven by the latest PT. I'm PT'ing at 161 and my blind review is around my target score. So, I'm in "phase 1" of studying, which means I'm trying to push my BR up to 170-175. This…
Hey TCook,
I wanted to say that you shouldn't be discouraged by your PT. It's the first time you're doing the test in a pressure-packed manner and you're so unfamiliar with the intricacies with the standardized test, that it's kinda like a shock to…
Thanks for the encouragement guys.
@jkatz1488 I took a bunch of PT's after my diagnostic without studying before so I haven't only taken 3. But I'm gonna disqualify the ones that I've taken earlier, recklessly, because they don't reflect any studyi…
@"Cant Get Right" I took a bunch of PT's almost back to back to back after my first PT, but I've erased them from my memory because I was not ready to take them and didn't know I shouldn't do them. Nonetheless, thanks for your words and I'm gonna ke…
@cvo1 Thank you for your advice and your offer. I may join the BR call one of these days if my PT schedule works out.
The offer stands from my end as well. Anytime you need any encouragement, give me a shout. I'm thoroughly impressed with your firs…
@"branigan.satterfield" hey! i am in almost an identical situation as you. I'd love to bounce ideas off each other/encourage one another. don't hesitate to shoot me a message at any time.
I found that I struggled with some things in the core curriculum when I first saw it; but after a couple days, I came back to it and I felt a lot better.
Hey @twssmith
I took Pt's every other day until I learned that I will not improve/I shouldn't do that.
My first PT after CC was 161 and I haven't really improved since then (I basically wasted 5 PT's). I PT'd 41 today and got 161, and reached my h…
It's been a long day. Haha, I don't think I can change it now.
(Never mind, found a way)
I started with PT 36 2 weeks ago. Do you think I'm too far behind?
I'll start:
Review/go through latest prep test video explanations
Go through 3 sections of a game via Pacifco method
Go through trainer's RC
PT 42
Review necessary assumptions
I've been BRing at 165. Granted, I haven't been BRing as rigorously (not circling everything that I absolutely aren't sure about and not BRing games or RC as rigorously)
Wow. Thanks for the tips.
I have greatly underestimated BR. I am going to follow your advice and take less PT's and more diligence in BR and understanding what I've done wrong.
What sorts of mechanisms did you guys to use to 'drill'? I should defi…
Thanks @stgl1230 .
Unfortunately, I don't come from one of the top schools in Canada.
It's frustrating because we are one of the only institutions that don't post letter grades.
Hey @"Alex Divine"
Thank you so much for all the tips and encouragement.
I'm glad to hear someone else has felt the same way when starting out. I was very discouraged at the problem sets and thought that it wasn't the right fit for me.
But, as yo…
