@"Mia Fairweather" just make sure you can see the page and what you are doing (making notations ) and which answer choices you are stuck on /having difficulty on. Also make sure to record the data on excel so that it's easily accessible to you. Writ…
Following cause I have this issue too. I either get it wrong or spend way too long on it.. I think it's a lack of understanding what we're trying to analog in the stimulus.
You can also do cookie - cutter review for all questions. Not just flaws but see what the structure of the stimulus and answer choices are. Example of structure: argument by analogy; correlation-causation; phenomenon-hypothesis; problem - solution, …
I've only seen JY do the yes (100) no (0) in the video for his fresh take for PT79 for the first LR section. Where he actually writes "yes (100) and no (0)" beside the answer choice. Maybe that will help you remember as well
The things that have helped me make the gap smaller between timed and BR is doing drills. Timed drills help you get used to time and develop an internal clock for when to move on. Untimed drills help with deepening your BR and also just drilling cer…
@"Beast Mode" you do these with the answer choices. It's like how in NA you negate the answer choices.
So in this example, take each answer choice: "are apples fruit?" yes (100) or no (0). Apples are not fruit (doesn't do anything to the argument),…
@Hamaseh_S can't make any promises, we usually end around 11:30 PM EST during the first call so pushing it back a bit would make it really late. However, if you are going to be constantly late I can make sure that the question's that are high priori…
My answer is two-fold. First, I foolproofed the games in the CC while I went through the CC so that's how long it took me to feel confident in games individually. Second, it took about 10 timed sections to get comfortable doing games as a section. T…
from what I have done in PS I was able to improve my score 7 points from diagnostic & can definitely see myself improving more with hard work & dedication before the november test. I have 3 full days set aside a week dedicated strictly to…
Do you focus on structure for RC? This is some other people's belief, here is proof for it, here's proof for other theory, and it seems our author agrees with the other theory. Also, what's your BR for RC like? That will help determine if it's a fun…
The starter pack is definitely sufficient enough to help. The curriculum is the same throughout all packages, the only difference is the amount of access you get to problem sets and explanations of PTs. JY basically provides detailed explanations fo…
I have the exact same issue with RC. I'm just about starting the 4th passage at the 5 minute warning. It turns out I'm spending way too long on curve breaker questions only to get them wrong. That time adds up fastest in RC than the other two secti…
@kragdar2000 no no 81 is the correct one. Eileen Gray passage popped in the last one we did, 79, and since we don't get time to do RC and thats an infamously difficult passage, I shared it to help people better visualize for next time or something.
@btownsquee @ElleWoods77 you guys the know the real reason is because I still have too many gifs I need to share
Everyone has been added (and will continue to be added!)
It depends on your current score and section break-down in particular as well as your BR score and the section break-down for each. As well as how many PTs you've taken and if you are drilling in between to focus on your weaknesses.
Also try filming yourself so you can actually verify whether it's due to rushing, not marking up structure, not reading ac's thoroughly, some combination, or something else entirely.
Drill them like crazy.
There's about 6 NA (I think) per test so it's probably a wise investment to drill them thoroughly so that you can see patterns between each question. Drilling them also helps you get more comfortable with curve-breaker questi…
For evaluate questions, the correct answer choice will serve two purpose. Taken to one extreme, it will weaken the argument. Taken to another extreme, it will strengthen the argument.
In its most basic form here is an example:
All apples are red. …
@Alex @eRetaker maybe it won't be as jarring since I've taken PTs in 70s before. Although I am doing better on 70s than I have for the others, but that's also to be attributed to getting used to timing and implementing test-taking strategies.
