Hi all,
I have watch all the curriculum videos. I spent hours and hours and hours since June. I still be PT'ing at 135. My goal is to get 160
I have a few questions:
1. What am I doing wrong?
2. I don't want to watch any more videos. I'm sick of them (no offense) should I just drill from now on?
I just need advice.

I am in this same boat!!
I had a raw diagnostic in the low 140s. I just started PTing around 160 in a month by doing untimed drills with the correct answer shown after each question. I did this so that way I was super fresh for my wrong answer journal. In the wrong answer journal (just typed it on the 7sage notes section), I stated the question type, why I chose the answer I did/why it was wrong, and why I eliminated the correct answer/why it was right, as well as how I will prevent this from happening next time (don’t fall for trap language, trust my gut, etc.) This was soooo important because it helped me actually understand why I was getting the problem wrong and how to prevent it next time. Then I did a couple of timed LR sections each week with blind review and WAJ. And finally one practice test each week with BR/WAJ afterwards (don’t do this until you’ve been drilling for awhile and start seeing improvements). I’m not a tutor by any means, this is just what worked for me. I have been mainly focusing on LR because I found it a faster way to make score jumps. Also highly recommend the 7sage podcast, the RC one that was just posted was super helpful.
Hi! If you feel comfortable with the material, I would definitely be drilling. This exam tests you on content AND practice, and a huge component of it is also timing. I like to do sections timed and untimed, with blind review and keeping a wrong answer journal. You should try to understand why you get each question right and each question wrong, this will help you find your weak spots. Then you can do specific drills for the question stem types, like Assumption or Weaken questions. Hope this helps!
