Didn't PT this week due to timing and I've been really honing my RC approach but I'll be back next week
So are the Thursday calls mainly going to focus on the 2 LR sections and Saturday RC/LG?
I'd like to be taken off this BR group for now as I won't be taking until next June
@danielznelson160 I have definitely retaken LG sections over multiple times but never a whole PT. I feel like I might remember answers if I do but maybe not, I should give that a try. And I have recently implemented a skipping strategy in LR where if I don't understand the stimulus after two reads I'll skip. This typically runs me about 3 questions per section.
And I do usually at least read every answer after I pick one just to be sure, but I feel like this hurts me sometimes as I tend to just gloss over answers that sometimes end up being the right one.
@rahelaalam514 Time is certainly one of my biggest issues. How exactly do you record yourself (what angle/device do you use?)
Hello everyone,
I've been studying for this test for the entirety of this year and have moved from a 142 Diagnostic into the 156-159 range. However my BR scores have gone from the mid 160s into the 172-177 range without any movement in my actual score in months. My weakness used to be LG but recently has shifted to RC but I have an overarching timing problem and never finish with time to spare and often have to guess on entire passages/games.
The December test is probably not going to be enough time to fix my issues so I was looking for some advice is bridging this gap. My BR scores are promising but it's so discouraging to continuously crank out scores in the 150s knowing my potential is much higher.
@704427 @allisongillsanford643 Awesome, I'm going to pass on this week for the BR as I already have plans but next week you'll both be on 64 right? I'll join you for good starting then. When you BR do you do the whole thing? Normally it takes me several days to BR a whole test.
@704427 Great, I'll be PMing you. Out of curiosity, what time do you start your PTs? I like to do them in the peace and quiet of my apartment but I'd love to start BRing with you guys afterwards.
I don't think order really matters as long as you do recentish tests.
@704427 @allisongillsanford643 I'm going to try to catch up but it's tough with my schedule to do multiple tests +BR every week
Looking forward to this!
