Very time consuming. How do we maximize our time when dealing with questions like this? Skip and come back? Take best guess and hopefully have time to come back?

About 8 months. I noticed the real change once I kept drilling the logic games and making notes of my mistakes in LR. Keeping track of similar types of LR mistakes across tests allowed me to jump my score.
@.MENS2020
I started studying during the summer of 2019 to apply for the 2020 cycle. I took the January test and after getting a 157, I went ahead and applied with that score. Come summer 2020, I didn't get into the schools that I wanted so I went back to studying for 2021 cycle and got a 161 this past November. To sum up my time of studying, I would say about 8 months. If you're feeling burnt-out, I think the best thing is to take some time off of studying and reassess your weaknesses. A lot of this test is repetition. I did the exams from 59-87 three times each. Don't feel discouraged. With practice and time, you can do it!
Thank you JY and the 7Sage community. It's been quite a journey and I'm happy to say I'm closing this chapter. To people still studying, my piece of advice is to trust the process and stay consistent. Take advantage of the resources we have here and connect with other students. Feel free to pm me for any questions/advice and good luck to you all! :)
Is there a way to take individual LR sections?
Thank you
Right there with you. Started studying around June 2019 and didn't do as well as I wanted for the October test. Some things motivating me are that there's still a solid 3 weeks to polish up on weaknesses. Each test varies in difficulty and January could be THE ONE. Also can handle/avoid test day factors like anxiety, being cold, having to go pee (CAUSE i drank too much water). Hope this helps and good luck!!
Scheduled for a retake in January and was wondering if I should devote my time solely to studying or study/get the ball rolling with applications?
Thanks

@ I had the same thing @ ... the proctor did a wrong seating chart for a different class room and had to create a new seating chart and re-administer the previously assigned tablets. frustrating ha
LOL! I was in there
I had RC-LR-LG. I didn’t think RC was that bad except for the comparative passage. LR and LG was the usual. Game 3 was kinda long so if you’re Brute Forcing some of the questions, remember not to take too much time as there’s still a game 4. Had 5.5 min going into game 4 and was able to get 4/5 of them. Like JY says, if a question is taking too long, get out of there and don’t let it eat away time for other questions.
If you’ve been preparing, you got this! #MambaMentality (for my bball fans out there)
I'm planning to take the November test. Shooting for 2 prep tests a week with 2 days of review in between.
@ I found 85-88 a bit more difficult. The September 2019 games stumped as it did for a lot test takers as well. The LR and RC are relatively similar difficulty. The difference in the LR is that the newer exams "SA/NA" are less formulaic.
Count me in
Hey guys,
So my timed PT's are around 152-155 and I'm BR'ing around 160-161. Currently scheduled for the October test but having second thoughts on it since my goal score is a 160. I'm thinking of going ahead with the October test and probably take it again January 2020. Thoughts?
Thank you
I would recommend getting some 80s test in as people have found them a little more difficult than the previous exams and they're also more reflective of what you'll see. Good luck!

Did anyone experience any technical issues with the tablet & stylus?
No technical issues with the tablet & stylus itself but we had administrative issues with assigning tablets/seats. We started our test about 45 min AFTER the scheduled time 😡
