Amount of questions tells you nothing about the difficulty of that passage/game. You want to tackle what is easiest for you first in order to maximize points. It's better to start something, sense whether or not it's too time consuming or difficult,…
In addition to weekly practice tests, I'm doing problem sets for specific weak points. I'm also drilling whole sections from older PTs to work on timing strategy
If you're talking about the bar next to each next to each question, that is there to show you how the percentage of 7sagers who scored the same as you on that PT got that question right. So if you see a 57% next to that bar, it means that 57% of 7sa…

Why would you want to take 5 sections?
I mean, there's an argument for taking more than you need to in order to improve test endurance. But i agree that you don't need to do 5. In addition to future tests being 4 sections t…
You're correct about the main conclusion!
I think the author is trying to say that the objection (to changing the school year based on a 19th century US tradition) misses its mark because the reason for this objection no longer makes sense due to t…
It's accurate in the sense that all these PTs are from when there were 4 scored sections. 7Sage has a feature for simulating flex (in which case it gets rid of 1 LR section) or you can use the flex score converter.
Even if you take all 4 sections, …
I think the first thing you need to diagnose is why you're missing so many questions. Are you not understanding the content or is it a timing thing? Or maybe a little of both?
Either way, I think it would be beneficial to stop doing timed passages …

Hey, You mentioned that you skip 1 one of the RC passages so that you can be more thorough on 3 of the passages. RC is also what's holding me back from my goal score. I'm usually getting -8 to -10. I'm guess…
I guess it partially depends on what you're currently scoring on timed tests and what your goal score is, but 20 points in one month is a tough ask.
I've recently come to the conclusion that if I want a shot at scoring anywhere near what I want on …
This is PT5 S1 Q13 and question stem reads "Which one of the following, if true, indicates a flaw in the argument?" yes?
This is undoubtedly a flaw question stem
And yes, A could be a correct answer if this were a weakening question. But the quest…
The difference between A and E is that A is phrased for a weakening question. But this is a flaw question. A flaw answer choice is saying "the argument is flawed because X" whereas a weakening choice can provide a specific example that would weaken…
Just moving on is the worst thing you can do. If you don't understand it now, how will you understand it if something similar comes up later?
Like YazzyYaz said, the comment sections for each video are a great place to ask. Additionally, some comme…
C does absolutely nothing to weaken the argument. The point is that manufacturers should be able to change to the name lite butter.
C literally restates the present situation. Some people are deterred by the word "imitation" and some people aren't.…
Ooh! I think I found a good explanation @Na-leh2021 . Copy/pasted from Powerscore:
Answer choice (A): The author is primarily concerned with motivating people to eat healthier diets; an additional benefit for manufacturers would not weaken the argu…
Without fully understanding exactly why E is right, I think C is wrong because the argument states that some people are deterred by the word imitation. Implying that it's possible some people are not deterred. So the argument already kind of concede…
You can always drill sections on paper if that's better for your actual learning. But you're not learning when you take the actual test. You're executing what you learned. So it makes the most sense to do full PTs only online.
I totally get what you mean that you feel like you're using meta knowledge the very first time you foolproof, but that's the point when you foolproof it the first time. You need to physically do it to jumpstart your memory for when you wait longer t…
I work full time and was able to get through 90% of the core curriculum in a little under 2 months. That being all the videos, all of the LR problem sets, almost all the LG problem sets, and a quarter of the RC problem sets Though there is the cavea…
So I'm in kind of a similar position in the sense that I decided in February I want to apply for next year. The only reason I'm attempting it in June is because I live somewhere the doesn't have an August exam option (meaning if not June, October is…
It's perfectly normal to hit slumps in your studies. Sometimes in learning how to process things better, you actually get worse because you're working hard to break old patterns. Be open to revisiting the fundamentals often. Going through them once …
Nice! Congrats on your first 170+!
One way is to maybe look at your analytics and see what your weak question type is. If any of those types are between Q16~25, maybe skip it since that seems to be where the bulk of the hardest questions tend to be…
Many RCs are effectively extended LR stimuli in a sense. They'll have other people's argument, followed by the author's opinion. The author will remain neutral, agree with the OPA, or disagree with the OPA. And as mentioned above, the subtle hint wo…
As ripmamba 24 said, you have to stay focused the entire passage. If you read a paragraph and realize you have no idea what you just read, you've lost.
The best way to stay engaged with the passage is to summarize the paragraph you just read, and …
I find that it doesn't make a difference in the questions when I take the test, but it is super helpful in blind review. Especially if you chose A or B, reading the questions from the bottom up prevents whatever bias you had from completely clouding…
In logic games, the only way a rule is overridden is if the question outright states "instead of rule x, rule y." Otherwise, the new rule coincides with the existing rules and doesn't create any contradictions with the existing rules.
