Good morning everyone. I have completed another practice test and again scored 147. I have reached a scoring plateau for months; I have followed advice and adjusted my study habits, yet nothing seems to work. Does anyone have suggestions for breaking this pattern? Should I pause practice tests for a few weeks and review core lessons? I am at a total loss.
The reason I didn’t choose A was because of the word “ only.” I felt it to be too strong. Any insight?
@Chanda.m Yes, I have made note of things like necessary and sufficient assumption as well as harder flaw questions.
@AnthonyEdwards#1Fan The outside knowledge part had been a weakness, thank you for the advice!
@AnnakenRogers At first, yes. However, I started incorporating timed drills into my practice, and I’ve found that I’m not panicking as much. I think I’m struggling with harder questions and volume. I agree. I have found blind review very helpful for correcting mistakes, and I make note of whatever I get wrong during the timed sections and br.
I was between A and E but chose A because I thought E had grammar that was too strong any tips?
Good afternoon everyone. I wanted to come on here and seek general advice and feedback from anyone who’s been struggling to score in the 140s on practice tests. I study almost every day, review my wrong answers, and maintain a journal of incorrect answers. I’ve noticed that I either second-guess myself or completely miss the problem. However, this tends to happen only on difficulty four and five questions in certain sections. Additionally, I find that I get the last six or seven questions wrong. I’m curious to know how I can improve this habit. Thank you for everyone’s time. I’m looking forward to your advice.
@Asma thank you! Would trying harder questions timed help with this as I’m finding difficult 1,2 and 3 kinda easy with hitting 80s and 100s
Hello everyone, this is my first time making a discussion post, as I was curious if anyone could provide tips or strategies for improving one's score on PTs. I feel like I have all the pieces to a puzzle, but I can't seem to get the pieces to fit, which is why I'm posting here to get advice and help from everyone here.
Any tips you would recommend for not only improving your score but also studying more effectively?
I believe the time pressure, particularly near the end, affects me, along with challenging four- and five-question sets. Starting Monday, I will return to core lessons and focus on areas where I struggle, such as conditional and flawed reasoning questions.
