It's an amazing strategy. I think he tried it for the first time in PT 75 and was blown away by how beneficial it was. It basically relieves your brain of having to remember and differentiate between the two passages. You read one and eliminate what…
I was hesitant to even open this because of the title but to echo what Dave has said, it's basically a relationship of superset and subset.
White girls being the superset and Becky being a subset. It's similar to the whole "All jedi use the force. …

Don't do all ten problem sets at once. I recommend doing 2 or 3 up front and then as you progress through the course come back and do so more so that you stay sharp and remember how to tackle MSS questions. Also, a lot of concepts 'build …
Is it a slump or still burnt out? I think if it's a slump you just gotta jump back in with maybe an untimed section of your fave section, whether it's LG, RC or LR. Just lightly to warm yourself up before you jump down the rabbit hole that is the gr…
@jprifitera Hey there! So basically the purpose of these study groups is to review questions as a group. It's a great way to guage your reasoning and compare it to others, to see whether you are reasoning logically or not. The purpose of blind revie…
Maybe try slowing down...it's helped me quite a bit. I used to do "25 in 25" but I was really unsure about most of the questions and my accuracy wasn't that high. Now I take my time...I usually skip one or two questions altogether in my read for wha…
Also, I just realized that my poll has a cookie-cutter flaw in it! Just because Thursday might get the majority of votes it doesn't mean that more people voted for it since Friday is split into two options. To remedy this, I will take into account t…
@knisskat94 hey! Basically, I just add you to the list. As you can see, we are doing pt 81 this week, we are just deciding on what day and time because of possible conflictions. You take the PT on your own, timed and mimicking test day conditions, a…
@NotMyName been seeing your comments all over the curriculum and forums and the work you put in is obvious. Congrats again! Go enjoy yourself now. Your watch is over
Depends on where the 10 points are...if you're going from 140 to 150 the strategies will be different than a jump from 150-160; 160-170; 170-180. Also your section breakdown and BR scores.
Bump for how useful this is and should probably be included in the curriculum. We need a "misc" section of concepts that aren't super frequent but frequent enough, like the tethering assumption.
Well try to focus on getting -2 on LG first instead of -0. See what happens when you try to slow down and take your time instead of feeling like you have to ruuuuushh through the easy games because you might be making careless mistakes (like misread…
If LG is the only thing holding you back from your goal score, then maybe November might be better. It's still early enough in the cycle. It might be helpful to work with a tutor so that they can pinpoint your bad habits or fundamental issues with L…
@NotMyName I've seen that strategy recommended a lot, but I am curious, are you testing to see if your reasoning has improved by revisiting or just constantly reinforcing the right reasoning to make sure you don't make similar types of mistakes agai…
I'm in a similar situtation, I've found that slowing down has helped me a lot (especially for LR and LG). I used to skip like crazy to meet "15 in 15" but I was just unsure about every question and didn't really have the proper time to go back and b…
I tried with the fifth section a couple of times but it's never the same becaue you KNOW which one the 'experimental' is. Even if you split one PT into 4 experimentals, you still know because you're the one organizing it. Also, I never really got ar…
Agree with what's been said. I first started watching every LR video too when I started PT-ing because I saw that exact same comment by Jonathan Wang. That being said it's not always helpful, majority of the time I'm just agreeing with JY and it's v…
