This is more of a "can I jump from low 150s to like a 160+" question and whether it's possible to achieve by the August exam. I am ready to give it my all. Would appreciate it if anyone can speak from their experiences and let me know how plausible this dream of mine is!
(I took it in April officially, studied consistently for 3 and a half months. Had to take an involuntary break between April and basically now, urgently need to get back on the grind for August)
Suggestion for Live Class Question Pool Enhancement
I have noticed that in the live classes, we don't really solve questions from the newer PTs which are more representative of the current test. I think it would be an excellent idea to have live classes where the teachers go over the newer questions as well because I feel like there's a difference between questions from PT150+ vs PTs from like the 100-140 range. The older questions are more cookie cutter, less tricky, and have more obvious patterns whereas the questions from the newest PTs are more convoluted and harder to comprehend so I would love to see live classes where the teachers break down those questions for us as well.
Feel free to let me know if I'm missing something. Out of the many live classes I attended, I don't think I have ever seen the teachers give us a question from PT 150+ which is why I wanted to propose this idea. If the reason for not including those is because y'all don't want people who still haven't solved those PTs to be exposed to them via live classes, I get it. Maybe the class labels can say something like "Disclaimer: this class will contain questions from the newest PTs (150+)." I hope this makes sense!

Had a stroke while picking between these answer choices, I gotta get my fruits and veggies up huh.
that article already talks about what changed from before August 2024 to then after August 2024. It talks about how the essay used to be simpler than it is now and how people had less time than we do now. It's not outdated, the article talks about the current way we're supposed to write the essay with one question given and various perspectives supplied for us to use when arguing our side.
I am extremely sorry for your loss!! I don't really have sound advice on how to get back on the consistent studying schedule but you went through such a hard time so go easy on yourself. Take it slow maybe for a few days, slowly ease back into your old habits. Do an hour today, an hour and a half tomorrow, and just gradually increase it. Think of how much this means to you and also your mom. Wishing you the best of luck, hang in there.
How is E not attacking a premise? we are being told that "over half of people who have parachuted only once report being extremely frightened by the experience" and then E comes and says sike that's actually not the case. Most people who have parachuted many times didn't find it frightening initially (meaning the first time they tried it). Am I crazy?
@treigysmartynas592 wait where exactly did they clear it up? I didn't catch on to that while reading, pity :(
I'm not convinced that Binh wasn't denying Kira's conclusion. He explicitly says "merely drawing a profit in no way implies that buying one of its policies is unwise" which directly contradicts Kira's conclusion of "it would be unwise to buy that insurance policy".
This is so tiring.
The light bulb explanation for C has a wrongly spelled word. "Obestity" instead of obesity. It's insignificant, but still wanted to share it just in case someone wants to fix it.
A is the right answer because we are told at the beginning that each student was given a different condition by the 1st attending physician. Since they weren't given any leading questions during the exam a week later, and they just asked about the medical condition the physician mentioned to them the week before, there is no way that they tested the same condition as the others on the 2nd week.
We are explicitly told they all were given different medical conditions and then were given nothing else the 2nd week, so it's most strongly supported that on the 2nd occasion/week, none of the students could test the same medical condition.
I check the written ones first in case it's a really obvious explanation that instantly makes me go "ahhh how did I miss this?!" But if it doesn't give me a light bulb moment (no pun intended), that's when I watch the videos for a more detailed explanation. So both are equally helpful.
The way he just says OMG and then abruptly ends the recording after reading answer choice E cracked me up haha
Idk if my thought process is correct but I initially picked E and what made me realize it's wrong is that wealthier doesn't mean substantially wealthier than they were 30 years ago. It could be that they were earning 40k 30 years ago, and now they earn 45k, which is wealthier.
BUT only a 5k increase doesn't mean that these people now have enough/more money to go on vacations. For all we know, that extra money could be going towards their sick cat's vet bills or monthly payments on that 2nd car that they really needed.
@JohnKersey Me too!! the newer questions have more subtle arguments and the explanation videos for them are often not clicking for me because they keep making many assumptions that they told us not to make in other question explanations. So, to have tutors in a live class setting go over them would be very beneficial since we can actively ask for clarification.
