Self-paced
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 !
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.
