Hi all!
Looking for suggestions on the last stretch before the January Flex. It seems like I'm scoring progressively worse on my PTs, which has me extremely nervous. I study anywhere from 4-6 hours daily, and try to take one day off during the week to avoid complete burnout. However, last week I was forced to take four days off from studying, as I was moving into a new place. After returning to my study routine from PT avg dropped from 161 to 158 (which isn't huge, but I really need to stay in the 160s). You'd think with such a long break, I'd come back refreshed. Also, I feel like I've forgotten the techniques/processes for LR questions, and find myself mindlessly reading stimulus, instead of the active reading I've practiced (I studied LR with Ellen's "The Loophole"). I'm even struggling with simple LG questions that came easy before.
Any suggestions anyone could offer? Not sure if I'm suffering from mental burnout, nerves or just the wrong approach---but I really don't want to blow it on test day!!
Thanks folks! I was really torn, but using that extra section for drilling and to make problem sets are both great ideas. @tiffanycbevel622 LR is my weakest section as well...so that’s helpful.
Hi all!
I’m taking the Jan 2021 FLEX. I’ve completed the core curriculum and have now moved on to taking PTs. I’m curious to know if others who are signed up for FLEX are taking full PrepTest or simulating the FLEX with only three sections? It feels like by taking FLEX PTs, I’m leaving valuable resources on the table (practice questions). But I also, want to make make sure my practice is as close to test day as possible. Suggestions?
Makes perfect sense now—thank you so much for taking the time to explain! Your explanation using percentages is exactly what my brain needed lol.
Can someone please help me to understand why A cannot be correct? This feels like math, and I am STUMPED.

@pfmakey14 Yes! It sounds like I'm in the very boat that you were in. I hadn't allowed myself to go back to the building blocks for fear of losing precision time, but I'm definitely going to try that approach. Thanks so much for sharing that advice and words of encouragement---every little bit helps!
