I just scored a 147 on PT127.
This was my first time taking a practice test. In many ways this is my diagnostic. My goal is a 160 on test day. Any advice or thoughts?

I just think wrong answer journals are a lot of time and wasted time at that. It is necessary to take one line of a question at a time, one question at a time until you start understanding and realizing patterns with question types. Right ones are just as important as the wrong, because if you wasn't sure and picked...but got it right, that don't mean you don't need to properly understand why you are getting a question not only wrong, but right. Check the mindset with the videos of the questions, for all questions until you get better and faster....more proficient.
@ChristyLynnBROOKS With respect to your approach to not using the WAJ, how would you be able to pick up on these patterns so quickly? Simply from drilling and moving on? Are there any key indicators you would look for in particular?
BR-ing to a 161 on your first PT is great though, keep up the good work! I’m confident you’ll do better
@ShinThant Thanks! If I end up getting around a 160 on the test, ill be thrilled
@LSATTAKER Hi, first of all, I thought the comment earlier sounded backhanded. Second, I cancel my 7sage subscription in a few days, so I wanted to clarify that what I meant was, that the improvement you want to make is possible. However much you end up scoring is not something I can predict. But my diagnostic was a 148, and I have been PTing at 162 for the past few tests— and I know I didn’t BR to a 161 on my first PT… so that’s what I meant.
Wrong answer journal!
@DianaSoltani are you only WAJ on paper or online as well? I tried writing out first but am now trying to use the sage notes as my WAJ
@gonewiththewind Thats generally what I do too. what questions are you getting wrong the most - have you done the fundamentals for your weakest questions? I rmemeber doing them in september and it brought me from a 155 to 161 - especially because i didnt really understand necessary/sufficient and conditional reasoning
@DianaSoltani Hey congrats on the upward trend! If you are ever drilling on here please post your answers on the discussions! I would love to read through yours as well and see maybe where I can incorporate some of your work into my own as well! Good luck!
@gonewiththewind Do you want to study together?
@DianaSoltani What time zone are you?
@gonewiththewind EST
@DianaSoltani I'm PST, can manage though if we work on a reasonable time?
