• I don't do BR cause I feel like it wastes my time. I only reattempt the ones I get wrong to see if it is a timing issue. Most of the times it is not timing.

• I keep a WAJ and have specific notes about the wrong assumptions I made and what I can do better next time. Sometimes I'll make a silly mistake but I still note it down to see if its a pattern. In the WAJ, its helpful to not just say things like "I rushed" or "I confused A with B" but to look for what you usually miss when you get rushed. Or what mistakes do you tend to make when you are running out of time and how can you be better in those situations? I also use chatgpt to see if there is any mistake pattern I can avoid by copy pasting my WAJ

• I come up with a mental check list for questions that I find difficult. For NA questions, I would think, have i highlighted the evidence and the conclusion? Do i understand what assumption the author is making? Am I picking an answer choice that is too broad? too strong?

• For RC, the major breakthrough was when I started highlighting opinions, through my WAJ i found out that I constantly picked ACs that mentioned something in the passage but was jumbled up with irrelevant info. The highlight tool also helps me retain info and be focused on what I'm reading instead of just mindlessly going through the passage, definitely make use of it if you are a visual learner

I was in the same position where I couldn't break into the 160s. I thought I had studied for such a long time and understood everything, but my score was not improving. I thought I knew everything there is to know about the test. After the Nov test, I did a breakdown of my wrong ans type and was brutally honest to myself. I sucked at conditional reasoning, and I was drilling those question types, doing my review, but I never went back and tried to learn it from scratch. Like you, I was also testing out different platforms, and they all had different methods, especially for conditionals, where some of them tell you not to diagram and some of them make you diagram. This was just too much conflicting info, so I decided to stick only with 7sage, and I redid the foundation lessons. I took it really slow and made sure I was understanding every single concept I learned. Even though I felt like I already knew certain things, I still took the time to go through the lessons and figured out that I didn't really know everything. I was also not taking breaks and was constantly thinking about the test so much that I burnt out, and when I would drill, I wouldn't really be focused, so I was studying just for the sake of studying.

I think if you are scoring between 141-145, you would really benefit from redoing the self-study lessons. No matter what your goal score is, I would suggest being in the mindset of getting as many right as possible rather than, for example, getting 15 or 18 correct each section to get to a specific score, imo this causes your brain to skip learning everything in detail. English is also not my first language, so I struggled with grammar, but it got easier when I slowed down instead of panicking. I started at a 141, and my score has gone up so much. The test is quite learnable, I would suggest not quitting if you really want this! I'm happy to chat more and share my experiences with you if that helps! Good luck!

Hi! Planning to take the April test! Would love to take PTs and review together!

For the domain + rule framework, can we kick "resident" to the domain?

@YvetteHan I was also confused on if I was supposed to find a flaw in Mr K's reasoning or the authors. I think by Mr K's allegation they are talking about the allegation he makes which is the people who are complaining about him are doing so because of political differences. We are supposed to find a flaw in the argument against his allegations and the only argument against him is made by the author. I initially thought allegation in the question stem was pointing out to the people who complaint about his company, but they only complained and didn't make any allegations against Mr. K. It is Mr K. who makes the allegation against those who complained.
