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'm definitely not going to postpone. Sometimes I'll take 2 in one week and get a 161 then a 168. It almost feels like luck of the draw. I only got the $180 7Sage package, so it didn't give me tons of practice questions. I totally understand the anatomy of the questions. It's just I always get down to two similar answers on the ones I miss and pick incorrectly. The answers just trip me up an dI get so frazzled that I can't think straight. I think I struggle most on RC because it's the least explicit- I hate inferring what the author might possibly maybe probably agree with. It's stuff like that that drives me up the wall. I'm going to take the weekend off and just do light studying this week before the test, then nothing after the test. If I get under a 165, I'll buckle down in October and take it again in November.
My GPA is a 3.93 (on CAS too) and I've already graduated. I know people who have gotten into Vandy with a lower GPA and even a 162. I worry less about getting in and more about scholarships. My family wouldn't be eligible for need-based, but my parents already said I'm on my own for this one. Anything under 50% tuition is going to put me in more debt than I'm comfortable with, and I've yet to hear a truly convincing argument that a $150k COA is worth it if it isn't from HYS basically.
