Hahaha. Thank you for pointing that out. I had no idea what I was missing. Bruce is awesome.
@melinadebona917 I'm expecting it in the mail tomorrow so I'll let you know. Like it says on the website, shipping is fast. Mine shipped same day.
Does anyone have a 180 watch they want to sell? @louierodriguez-1?
I understand that is what's supposed to happen, but since my times aren't going down on new games I'm wondering if just drilling myself is not helping me memorize inferences for use in new contexts/new games. It obviously works when I'm repeating the same game but not as clearly when I'm doing new ones. Maybe I just haven't drilled with enough games yet. Or maybe I need to memorize the inferences in another way so that I can readily apply them to other games, not just the same one over and over?
I've been practicing games according to the 7sage method for a a few weeks now. I easily do the games in or under the suggested time after about 3-4 tries. However, I am still too slow whenever I start a completely new game. Usually a new game takes me about 10-15 minutes, so on PTs I rarely complete more than 2 games. This is a slight improvement. Before I practiced this way my times were a little higher.
My question is what exactly is meant by "memorize the inferences" "or reproduce the inferences from memory"? That may seem like a silly question, but I'm asking because I'm not sure I'm using the method correctly. Like I said I can complete games quickly after 3-4 tries because I make the inferences much more quickly, but I'm not sure I actually have them "memorized". It doesn't seem like this practice is helping me make inferences much faster on new games. So I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. When you "reproduce the inferences from memory" do you just do the game again and again or do you write the inferences down first to ensure you have them memorized? I want to make sure my practice will translate into faster times on new games as well.
Can I purchase the bundle if I am not enrolled in a course? I added it to my cart but it said it would expire today. Would I have to buy an extension too?
Since I have been barely finishing the LR sections in the allotted time, and get a little stressed toward the end of the section when the questions tend to get longer and/or harder, I may try starting at the end of the section. Thankfully, I still have time to practice, increase my speed and abandon this strategy if it doesn't work for me. I am just curious about whether anyone else has tried it or wants to chime in with reasons why this might be a bad idea?
Thank you, vandyzach. That was helpful. I think to be safe I'll practice with both.
I need to purchase prep tests but am unclear on whether practicing with the older vs. newer tests makes a difference with regards to logic games. I have heard that the logic games are worded significantly differently after 2005 and that I should practice with the newer tests for this reason. Does anyone have any knowledge about this? I was considering purchasing the logic game bundle as well but am holding off since it covers the older tests, PTs 1-35 I believe.
I believe it would be translated: If X then not Y AND not Z. The neither/nor language means if you have X you cannot have y AND you cannot have Z.
