@Stacmay Cutting out short form content was huge for me too! I noticed an immediate score jump and just feel way more confident working my way through questions.
Hey folks! I'm looking for a buddy to host weekly zoom calls with to review tough problems and talk through strategies. I learn best when I have to explain my thought process to someone else, so am looking for someone who I can do that with :) Let me know if you're interested in starting a regular cadence of weekly, hour-long meetings where we take turns reviewing problems we struggled with!
I'm looking for someone more or less with a similar score range, schedule, + learning style as me:
Goal score of 173 and currently PT'ing around 168 (I hit a plateau HARD here)
Pacific Time Zone, available before 2pm
Focused on identifying patterns in missed problems, and interested in explaining their thought process out loud and talking through different strategies
I’m so glad I found this post! I’ve been driving myself crazy the past couple weeks tearing through drills and feeling fatigued without seeing much progress. Spent some time with the AI coach and it looks like I absolutely need to take a step back, focus more on patterns in wrong answers, and take a more targeted approach instead of just generating massive practice blocks for myself.
Definitely wish there was a way to update study plan based on AI coach’s recommendations.
I struggle a lot with text anxiety and I've realized that when my heart starts racing my mind won't calm down until my body does -- when I get panicked I focus on 478 breathing (4 seconds in, hold for 7, out for 8). It usually only takes 3-5 of those breaths for me to find a calm center again. Good luck!
Hi friends!
It feels like I'm flying blind right now so I figured I'd reach out to see if anyone has specific suggestions for how to prioritize the months between now and when I take the test in Sept, and how I can ease my anxiety during plateaus.
I just started studying at the end of April and have been working my way through the study plan 7Sage created for me. I'm also trying to get a jump on getting used to section timing, so I've been trying to do at least 1 timed, full section every other day or so. I think in a couple weeks I'd like to bump that up to taking one full practice test every week while I'm still getting through curriculum.
My diagnostic score was solid (161) and I'm aiming high, for a 173+. I've never been great at standardized tests, but this feels like something I can do if I just study for it the right way. Right now, my plan looks like
May-end of June --> Focus on getting through curriculum, alternated with taking practice sections and full practice tests in June (20-25 hrs/week)
July-end of August --> Practice practice practice; probably start the week with 1 PT, then review what I got wrong, drill specific question types I'm having a hard time with, and then end the week with another PT (15 hrs/week)
I know it's stupid to have expected progress already but I am finding myself a little frustrated reviewing sections and finding that I keep missing around the same # of questions! Is that normal? Is there anything I could be doing differently or better? How does my study timeline look?
Thanks in advance !
this passage kicked me in the balls
