Self-study
I've been studying since January. I took a test before I jumped into the Power Score books and got a 160. I felt great! I worked through all three PS books, taking a test every week or so. My average from about 12 tests only moved to a 162, and I only got between 165-169 four times. Never hit my goal, 170. So, I reread the logic reasoning bible. And then again. Still nothing. I turn to 7Sage, and have worked through the entire syllabus in about three weeks. My score right before started 7Sage was 166. I took one a week throughout the course, and got worse and worse. 162. 161. Today, 160. I'm back where I started. I take the test on Saturday and I feel like I've done all this studying for nothing. Any advice? Ideal school is Vandy.
Also, I usually miss 0 (1-2 at most) in the games, 5-7 on each LR, and about 8-11 on reading. And don't suggest Spreeder, because it didn't help either :/
I appreciate all the feedback. I don’t want to defer but I’m not opposed to retaking in November. And yes, my scores were dipping on PTs 72-75. It felt like the gaps in logic or correct answer choices got more subtle. I’d say half the LR questions I miss are from guesses (I almost always have to guess on the last LR question, last 2 if it’s a 26 section, and usually 2-3 on RC) or glossing over something stupid but maybe not obvious. I find my scores depend on section order a little, too. If I start with an average LR and then have games, I’m in a good mood and less brain dead. If I start with reading, it bums me out and I can’t shake it because I know I did poorly. The best I’ve done on reading was -4.
