I have been studying for 2-4 hours a day for about 9 weeks and I feel like I'm really starting to lose my edge. In this last week, I feel like my studying was significantly less deliberate. One thing is that I have recently started reading the PowerScore RC bible and find it challenging to engage with. I try to remind myself that gaining confidence in LR took many weeks on its own. Does anyone have any advice for burnout?
I have noticed that, after seeing an attractive AC, I tend to be overly skeptical of the others, approaching them with prejudice simply because I have already found an appealing AC. The result is that I miss questions with tempting A or B choices but better D and E's. Any advice on ensuring each AC is adequately scanned for potential? I feel like there is a time consideration balance to be struck here, as finding a predicted AC and then advancing can be a valuable pacing strategy.
incorporate time for those distractions you know are going to hit. If you need 45 mins of studying, give yourself an hour. Set a 25 min timer and try to stick with it, then go crazy on a 5 min break!
In reading the Logical Loophole book, I was taught to always read the stimulus first; however, I have been thinking it might be better to read the question stem first on some questions. For example, on questions where you have to accept the truth of the argument, like NA for example, it is not very useful to analyze the argument because you have to accept it as true. What do you think?
