Is timing an issue at all? I found ,in addition to my blind review, that working on skipping strategies and timing really paid off. It took awhile to hone my instincts on when to cut losses and move on. I also drilled hard LR questions I was weak on (flaw, parallel flaw, NA, etc.)

Hey Guillaume, yes timing has been an issue. This is why I've been doing timed sections from old PTs on RC and LR with blind review after. Keeping time in mind while I practice these sections has removed the fear of getting the answer wrong in a practice setting and keeps me focused on pace instead. The other component I've found useful is in the BR. Verbally explaining to myself why the wrong answers are wrong, and comparing them with other questions has revealed certain patterns in wrong answer choices and thereby makes them easier to spot. Skipping is crucial and I'm still practicing "moving on" if I can't make a decision between answer choices. Thanks for the tips!

All the advice above is great. I also can not recommend highly enough the webinar called “Post Core Curriculum Study Strategies.” If you haven’t watched it yet, it will give you lots of ideas on how to drill and when you’re ready to move on to different types of exercises.

Thanks Leah. I watched it and it is a great explanation of how to study and measure progress post cc. Very useful.

Before I make a mistake...

So I got my score today from the March 30th administration. Long story short I'm not satisfied with my results and I'm preparing to take the July 15th test. I'm to the point in my prep where its practice, practice, practice with proper blind review. My blind review scores are on point with my target score but my actual is still behind. Before I make a mistake and continue practicing the way I have been, with timed sections/blind review, preptest/blind review, is there any advice or suggestions I should consider? Is there something more I could be doing? I just want to make sure I'm making the most of my study time before the next administration. Thanks!

Our tablets worked very well! In fact, I preferred it to the paper test. However, one of the proctors accidentally started the LG section too early so we lost 15-20 seconds... The few last seconds I needed to do my very last question!

I thought the RC section was more difficult than others I've practiced... maybe just me.

This same thing happened to me on LG! I missed answering 2 questions because of it.

Are you sure?
