@teechj117 said: If this is any help also, I've found reading various news clippings and either summarizing them on my phone, on paper, or in my head to be read out later helps with retention. It's refreshing to apply skills from the test itse…

don't do what I did and exhaust the entire archive of LGs possible lol (though it does help to expose yourself to enough games to be able to establish a base of pattern recognition -- the writers of the test luckily aren't extremely creative in how …

mostly after one read-through of the stimulus -- it also depends if i'm at q2 or q24 on the section. If I hit q24 and there's a MBT or a weird parallel/parallel flaw type, then that's one I'm saving for later. but if it's q2 and the stimulus isn't t…

that seems about right. RC starts to get really brutal right around PT 60, but only because the questions are harder than the passages themselves, which have strangely gotten a little bit more straightforward. however, I didn't really find much chan…

definitely; on LR I've found skipping on the first pass to be a time-saver. It's mostly a personal judgement call on what types of questions give you the most grief in terms of time sucked (for me so far it's almost always the MBT/MBF questions; I'm…

I finally hit above a 170 on my most recent PT -- for me it doesn't become easier. Part of the battle is learning not to panic on the test, because you can psych yourself out of collecting as many coconuts as possible (this applies especially in the…

I think you should be fine. With the exception of a weird stretch of "miscellaneous" games that randomly appeared between PT 65 and PT 80 (including the "virus" game), there have tended to be very few deviations in the types of games. However, some …

the LG section on that one had a brutal game 4 (if I remember correctly, it was about traveling merchants and factories -- LG seems to have gotten harder in the PT 80s range, with the infamous flower game coming right before in PT 88), but it was ba…

so one of the pointers that I've carried over from my history of taking RC sections in similar types of standardized tests (i.e. the GRE and the SAT) is that the more efficient approach to tackling RC is remembering general argument structure over d…

I'm getting closer to perfect on LG with an average of -2 per section (and have fool-proofed about 250 games at this point) -- can definitely help with that section!

interested! I'm R&R'ing and preparing for next cycle. I'm in a similar situation -- at the cusp of 170+ but bogged down by LR (LG -1 to -3 on average, RC -1 to -2 on average, LR -5 to -6 per section; Blind Review 175+ as well)
