What is your BR score? And what do your LG look like?

While this might not be true for everyone, following the fool proofing plan JY sets out in the curriculum helps tremendously for LG. It takes a great deal of time to get through every game the foolproof way, but it should serve to shore up the LG section. This section stands to be the easiest to get close to perfect...for me anyways. With your current scoring on the the other two sections, imagine what -1 or 2 on LG would do for you. Best of luck!

First thing that stands out is the LG. Have you foolproofed all of the games like JY recommends? And, what do your BR scores look like?

Agree with Anthony. I would push until January at the very least.

If you're at or near your goal score in BR, thats great! I would continue taking and BRing PT like crazy. One of the only ways to square the timing issue away is through experience. You'll only get that experience by taking many, many PTs and subsequently engaging in thorough BR. As far as LG are concerned, have you foolproofed them all? Squaring these away is a good way to pick up points. -0 to -3 is doable for most people using the foolproofing method that JY talks about.

For the next 2-3 months, depending on time...2 PTs a week with good BR. Foolproof the new LG as you go.

I might be in for Skype. I just got to the introduction to logic.... but this is my second time through the CC

I would postpone. At the beginning of the course, JY speaks to what is necessary to prepare. He mentions at least 40 prep tests. Imagine the time required to take 40 of them, BR them and then follow your thinking patterns on the ones you missed. You don't want to rush this. Without a multitude of the PTs and BR, you would be going in blind.

BR is so important in this process. The reason being that BR shows your true understanding of the argument, why the 4 incorrect answer choices are wrong and why the correct answer choice is indeed correct. By not blind reviewing, you are wasting precious opportunities to learn your thought process, shatter it if you need to or reinforce it if it is correct. Lastly, as JY and multiple other people have pointed out, your BR score will always be higher than your timed score because the time element has been removed. By not engaging in a BR, you are limiting yourself and your understanding of this test. If you can't understand all the elements of a question when there is no time constraint and correctly answer the question, then you'll never be able to under the time constraint. If it were me, I would suppress the need for instant, self gratification and delay looking at the answers until you have BR EVERY question that you were not able to articulate the 3 elements above with 100% clarity. But thats just me. Good luck to you!!

How does your BR look on the same sets of questions that are giving you trouble?

Thank you for your insight and sharing your experience!

In most of these MSS questions, very few of the correct answer choices will have strong wording. I failed to see the strength of the word "impossibe" in A. Neither party remotely leads us to believe that it's impossible.

Taking the full PTs from the newer tests is a must. Why don't you take the full PTs and then fool proof them afterwards? It could almost go hand in hand with your BR of the LGs.

Thats great! Good work!

Well, for me, the first thing that I do is I go through the entire question and type out my thoughts. In order to shatter faulty thinking, you have to record those thoughts to enable you to refer back to them. Record the stimulus and argument (if there is one) into easier terms that would allow you to explain it to a 6 year old. If you can't explain something in terms that a kid can understand, you don't really understand it. Then, once you have a clear understanding of it, type out your anticipations of correct answers given the question stem. Once I'm at this point, I proceed through the answer choices slowly while articulating why the wrong ones are wrong and the correct one is correct. Record every reason you come up with for each one. Now that you have your thoughts written down, proceed to the video explanation and compare these thoughts to JYs. If you're thinking is incorrect, you now have the road map of how you got there. More importantly, you have the map to allow yourself to back out of that thinking. To reinforce the correct line of thought, summarize the explanation again but in terms that a kid can understand. All of this should be done in the notes section of the question so you can refer to it time to time.

Hi there. Unfortunately, LR explanations don't exist for PTs 1-16. Everything from 17+ should be there.

Saved as well. Thank you!

What are LG looking like for you? That's your best bet at fast improvement.

AD‑m→WG←s→Preventable

This is how I originally diagrammed it and was able to eliminate the answer choices that didn't have anything to do with it.

Yes please!!

The most recent tests are the most important in take in full, time PT scenarios. I think you start by prioritizing that way. I see nothing wrong with using tests pre-60ish for drilling if you are short on time and won't get to all of those tests. If you see yourself only realistically getting to only 10 or 15 of the most recent tests as timed PT, then you can open up those drilling tests a little bit more.

If you go under the discussion tab and look for the RC only threads, there is a ton of great advice there.

That's a great story that should mean a lot to people. Keep up the hard work.

Since the problem set tab only allows you a max set of 50 games, you can select 50 at a time for the entire 334 game set. Might be easier than having 7sage join them all into one PDF.

Great stuff! Thank you!

Its advised to wait until the end of the curriculum in order to avoid wasting precious prep tests prior to learning the material.
