Wow this is impressive
Wow, great job! This is a huge accomplishment. Are you signed up to take the test? If not, this would be a good time to sign up - you want to take the official test around the time you are peaking in your performance (kind of like an athlete training for a big event). I'm sure you are doing this already, but keep doing deep, purposeful review of every mistake you make, specifically focusing on identifying your reasoning error. I would also suggest continuing to take weekly full length tests until your test date, and devoting two days per week to high difficulty work (one day each for LR and RC). Best of luck to you - and congratulations on seeing your hard work pay off!
congrats!! this is amazing! can you share more about your study plan? how many drills/questions are you doing a day?
@smh for abt 2 months i was doing 2 - 2.5 hrs a day of drills with some zoom classes mixed in occasionally and reviewing preptests/old drills to see where i went wrong. I work full time so for me this mean studying 5 am - 6 am and then again from like 7 pm - 8:30 pm every day. eventuañly though i ran into consistency issues of testing at 177+ but having occasional bombs in the 172-174 range. ive been dialing back my time commitment and instead prioritizing being deeply focused during the time i do study and mentally refreshed for diagnostics, which im taking every few days. This new strat has really helped me score high much more consistently. I started from 166 as my cold diagnostic. I also take no notes and do zero diagraming for tests - i find all of that to be a distraction and i prioritize just thinking and reading calmly.
