@Nazanine Thank you! Yes, I am now only focused on doing drills. I started more than a year ago and I started with PowerScore books. After them I watched lessons on 7Sage. I only did one practice test at that time and got 146. Then I was only focused on doing untimed sections, just to understand each question better. I am an international student so it was very difficult for me to understand even the basics of this exam. I only started timing myself after some months of drilling and it is still difficult for me to finish the section on time. I would love to have a tutor but because of high prices I am unable to do it. If you have any questions I will be glad to answer them!
@DPickle Hello, thank you!!! I have been using the core subscription and it is great so far. I think some other options are better but I chose core because of its cost. I think that you can start there and see if you need something more
@PierceO Hey! Over a year now. I am really tired from studying but this is the only way to increase the score.
@beautifuljakey Hello, that is impressive!! I just started studying more consistently. I am using 7sage study plan and while I sometimes (mostly) can't complete the whole study session, it helped me to increase my score. I am reading all the questions very carefully and trying to understant every part of it. Since using this study plan and studying consistently I saw a lot of increase. If you have any question I will be glad to answer!
@DeeTee Thank you! Just like iron man answered: attack. I try to read the passage very carefully and remember as much as possible. I am also memorizing the location of some specific things. This way I am not memorizing every specific detail but I keep in mind where that idea is located. So when question asks about it, I just go back and read that part and answer the question. RC is actually my weakest section, because I do not have a specific strategy for attacking questions. The only thing that I am keeping in my mind is to fully understant the passage. If you have any questions I will be glad to answer! Good luck!
@NicoleGutierrez8234 If you have done some drills till now, I think you can start doing PTs but untimed. (if you haven't then do some drills first, maybe for 2 weeks) This way you can use that as a practice for understanding each question in-depth. Try to do one old PT untimed and see your score for now, don't worry about the score because it will improve in a few months. You can even do 1 PT in 2 weeks. If you have more questions I will be happy to answer them!!
@VibrantNourishingStress Hello! To be honest I have been scoring in 160s for some time and these scores are new for me too. I saw increase in my scores when I started studying consistently. I am using 7sage study plan for it and it is really good. Good luck!!!
@victoria99 Hello, you have studied for only two months, so you will raise your score a lot. I have been studying for over a year, but I was very inconsistent in my studies. So I started studying more and doing drills nearly everyday. Before trying to answer questions correctly, try to understand every part of the question and answer choices. Do not worry about timing yet, just try to fully understand every question. I would recommend creating schedule and following it very strictly. Good luck!!!
@JosueRMorales Hello and thank you!! The main problem for me is timing. Just knowing that there is a timer makes me freeze. But when I am doing BR I don't time myself (although it is usually 1-2 minutes per question). About the difference of this test, it is just I started studying full-time and now I see some improvements in my scores, although they are not consistent



@FrederickBlackmon I would say that you should do that question type more. You can do 10-20 questions of that type during your studies. Try to find what can affect the stimulus. Do those questions untimed and before reading answer choices try to find the weakness in stimulus and make your own answer choice attacking that weakness. If you do this a lot it will improve with time and you will be able to kind of see what each argument misses or what can destroy it. I also struggle with flaw questions, but doing this helps me a lot.
