Self-study
Hello fellow 7sagers!
I’ve been taking PTs and my scores have been around 169-171 with BRs of 176-178, but I can’t seem to break this score plateau.
I find that I have the most trouble with LG and RC sections (where I usually make 4-5 mistakes). I think that timing is an issue for me because I always feel rushed when doing these 2 sections, and I suspect that’s where my accuracy suffers. In-Out games are my weakest games in LG, but in RC I am not missing any specific question type.
Can you please give me some advice on how to tackle this plateau?
Thank you in advance!
:)

With the In/Out games, I do struggle with making inferences at the beginning and usually end up relying on doing so many hypotheticals when I hit the questions (it eats up so much time). I'll definitely try your advice to go back and review my basics for In/Out games.
For RC, I usually miss a question or two per passage, and while it's not a specific passage type that I struggle with, I think you brought up a good point about whether the question address something for specific or more general/broad. I do miss more broad questions such as "based on what can be inferred from the passage..., the passage provides the most support for inferring..., the author would most likely agree with...". When doing BR for RC, I have more time to re-read the passage and carefully ponder each answer choice (definitely a luxury) which allows me to figure out the right answer, so I'll try out your suggestion to slow down a bit and see if that helps.
Thank you for your advice!
