How are important are these games for studying? Recently took PT 77 and I had trouble setting myself up for the game and got all the questions wrong and it took off a lot of time. Are misc games in the recent tests?

Maybe the strategy I've been using will give you some insight. (LR is my weakest section and I am okay with that being as though I just want a 169, so my average is -5/-4). First, it is obvious that on average the questions 1-10 are the easiest so I finish those questions within the first ten minutes. Keep in mind there are some questions in the first ten that may be a little difficult if I can't finish them within around 1:30 I skip it. Next, I go to the five questions at the end for two reasons 1) sometimes these are the hardest and I have more time to figure them out or 2) they are not that hard and I can get them out the way and focus on the harder ones in the middle of the section. Once I finish the last five I finish the middle section and keeping in mind to be aware of how much time I spend on questions, if I'm feeling lost with the stimulus/ ACs I skip and come back if I have time. I don't waste time rereading stuff. In the end for me I know there are around 2 LR questions I know I won't get because even on review my mindset still makes me want to pick the answer I chose lol I don't worry about those. The main objective is using the time wisely so that you can answer as many questions as you can within the 35 minutes and answer them correctly. I hope this helps!!
@michellevargas04144 if you go to their website they all say what is the lastest test they will accept!
@wraith985-4026 I will definitely keep this in mind.
@wraith985-4026 That makes sense, I was scoring between -2- 0 on logic games before coming across this game today. I knew what the rules were implying but the formatting threw me off and I really did not know how I was supposed to write a game board, or anything for that matter, with what I was given. Definitely gonna continue to practice with these games, thank you for your input!
@matthewcsorrels859 thank you!
I actually found AC C in question 21 to contradict the stimulus. Lines 30-35 talk about how the quotation marks signify the characters having their own voice just as in jazz ensembles where they hold their individuality. So not only was it not difficult to distinguish the characters voices, jazz bands also did not have this characteristic either. C is wrong in both regards.
Q25 is very tricky with ACs B and D.
@morgansmalls17449 I also was having trouble with this. I would check around 5-8 boxes for 10 questions and it would fail to load. I just resorted to the advanced builder and use the tags to pick random questions from prep tests.
@jovildevera755 Thank you for your help!
@jovildevera755 Thank you for this! I was creating drills with around 8 checked boxes of problems I wanted to practice. I just tried again, only checked 3 questions to drill and it worked. Is there a limit on the amount of question types you can check to make a drill set?
Is this happening for anyone else? I just recently faced this problem for the past two weeks and it is really annoying not being able to create drills on specific problems I need to work on. I have already removed caches and cookies from chrome. It is just the LR that is not working for me, but RC and LG works fine.
@jagbirh542 thank you for this!
Starting next week I will be taking two PTs a week. How far back should I go with the tests to prepare for the january test?
@pd288890-1-1-1-1-1-1 I also have that problem or I'll have an idea of a right answer choice and if it is not there, it completely throws me off. I never heard of loophole translations. I might have to look into that.
Idk if people who have scored high (170+) can attest to this, but I'm starting to realize that a key factor in this test is also understanding the answer choices just as much as you understand the stimulus/passage especially with tricky questions. This test is not easy! These testmakers are smart and know how to throw us off with questions that don't fit into the cookie cutter mold, while also making really appealing wrong answer choices. I just took a practice test and for many of the questions I fell for their tricks, while also not taking enough time to read each answer choice and fully absorb what it is saying in relation to the stimulus/passage. Not sure if many of you have also realized this, but this is just a tip for anyone who doesn't have a problem understanding the stimulus or passage but is still getting wrong answers. Pay attention to the mental steps you go through when evaluating the answer choices.
Goodluck to everyone!
The two TVs should be fine, I have a TV in my room and it was off on test day and they never mentioned anything about it. I would just make sure they are unplugged. However, I would imagine the glass wall applies if it is a wall where people are constantly walking by and not a glass window to outside? I would honestly call them to make sure about that.
