I remember reading somewhere that PT80 won't be released until after the Feb exam due to how close the two exam dates are. PT79 wasn't released until November, two months after the Sept exam.

Recently I've tried to focus less on content, but then I am complete loss when it comes to questions that ask for analogous situations/opinions/beliefs
Same boat here :/

When your read the passage in 3.5 min, Jy says to summarize the main point of the paragraph into one line. Does he mean to do this within the 3.5 or after the passage has been read?
If I remember correctly, you read the passage in 3.5 min. Summarize the paragraphs in 1.5 minutes in writing, then tackle the answer choices. Once you're comfortable with that, step two of the memory method requires you to spend only 30 seconds on mentally summarizing, not writing.
@bswise2931 Plus, when you are BRing, that is the point when your reasoning is raw in your mind and you don't know the correct answer yet. You are just working with you and yourself. Sometimes knowing the correct answer will bias you into "influencing" how you type our your reasoning. If you recognize a rookie error that you made, pride definitely plays a part in typing out your reasoning for that question if you are doing so in retrospect. If you want to keep track of every stage of reasoning and when you realize your reasoning is wrong, you could always go back through your typed out BR reasoning and scrutinize it with your new knowledge and keep track of what you now realize. I usually do this by highlighting with different colors for each stage of reasoning in Word.
Thank you so much for such a detailed response! I'm definitely going to adopt this method into my review from now on. :)
Hi guys!
Just a quick question regarding typing out your thought process for LR. I recently developed the habit of typing out my thought process and explanations for each answer choice after grading a PT to try to understand where I'm making mistakes. However, should I be doing this only after blind reviewing and grading the PT? Or should I begin the typing process when I blind review?
Many thanks!
@tjphil239 Anyone know if the trout fishing NA LR question was real? Spent alot of time there until I realized I was being dumb
Yep that's real.
@jivansekhon160 So for 3 LRs: LR RC LR LG LR, which LR is not real? I also feel that the first LR is really hard
All I can remember from LR are the following: Organ question, Trex question, Bones and flutes, cat food, Alexander's tomb, male sterlings. Hope that helps!
@jyang72422 Aye.
