Self-study
I just scored a 157 on PT150. I'm feeling very discouraged because I was previously PTing in the low 160s and trying to break out of that plateau. My test is in February and I do not want to reschedule or cancel because I have already applied this cycle and am taking the February test to improve scholarship and admission prospects. Does anyone have any advice or tips for between now and February (less than 3 weeks)? Should I take any more PTs or will it just stress me out and discourage me further?
With RC, I find it really helpful to highlight tone adjectives that suggest how an author may feel or think about a subject. Understanding the author's perspective is crucial in RC. In passages where we do not get much about the author, it helps to highlight things like "So-and-so asserts that" or "Critics of X theory claim" or anything like that. I think keeping track of the different perspectives was a challenge for me, but RC started to feel more manageable when I noted down the different perspectives, whether that be highlighting or in a low-res summary. Hope this helps!
