What is the average cost of a tutor? Is there a more ideal time to use a tutor than others, for example, would it be better to get the additional help when I am first learning the basics and still going through the course, or when I've completed the course and still have challenges?
Thanks,
I'm at a point where I'm less than 25% of the way through the curriculum and am flopping around, wondering if I should continue to pursue taking PTs at the point I'm at. I've only been studying for about 3 weeks--have done my diagnostic and 1 additional (this weekend), and its clear that I remain at a point where I am guessing a lot and the scores clearly indicate that. It is clear to me that I need to strengthen my muscle memory with the rules of LR and LG because I was overall shooting into the breeze during the last PT. I recognize that I've got a long road ahead, but I'm concerned that if I'm not efficient in my approach, then I I will waste valuable time and testing material. I'm in need of some direction, please help.
Great, thanks! I'm glad I threw this out there, I'd been chewing on it for awhile. Now I can move on.
I've been wondering about a different approach to answering the questions in LR sections, in hopes of improving time and accuracy....has anyone heard of an approach where you would answers the LR questions by the type of question (MP, MSS, etc) instead of numerical order? For example, answering all of the MP questions first then tackling all of the MSS question and so on. Instead of jumping our minds from one type of question to another, could it help to tackle all the same type of questions together and then move on? Thoughts?
Should I only be doing a few problem sets and quizzes after I go through a section then, and return to the incomplete sets/quizzes on a regular basis? It seems like I go through a section, understand it, do well on the quizzes or problem sets, and then appear to forget a lot of it (I'm basing this off of my attempts to try and retrieve rules that I have learned, but fail to recall several days later). Perhaps I'm overthinking this and should just go with the flow of the curriculum, and expect things to solidify down the road. I'm not taking this course very quickly, probably somewhere between 1 and 4 hours a day. All advice is appreciated!
