Hey all, I've heard various things about RC becoming increasingly difficult over recent tests and wondered if anyone who has recently taken an official test can attest to this? Do the 156+ (previously 90s) tests or the 148-155 (previously the 80s) mirror the current test?

I work as a research coordinator and have been heavily involved in a lot of research projects. Should I keep a completely separate page with the research project titles? Maybe titles research projects or something? Just wanted to know how anyone else with research experience listed it on their resumes. Thanks!

Ive taken the time to learn the fundamentals of LR and RC for months. Now I'm drilling non stop based on previous prep test analytics but I'm asking how you to balance studying. Given in a week, approx 4 hrs/daily

Monday- LR specific Q types

Tuesday-LR

Wednesday: RC

Thursday: RC

Friday: LR

Saturday: anything you didn't get done

Sunday: rest

How do you balance RC/LR?

In search of a study group or partner! I’m in the midtown area of Sacramento and am hoping to retest in the summer (2025). I have a quiet rooftop area and coffee shops near me where we can meet and study, or I can go to you! I need help! Lol

Hi All,

Sometimes when I am working through the 'You try' sections of the lesson and I get a question correct, I don't feel the need to watch the video. I'm curious what other people do- do you tend to do the same as me or watch the video no matter what?

Hey all, I'm struggling to understand why AC A in PT 119, Section 1, Question 14, is incorrect. I've reviewed the video explanation, online forums, and comments, but the best explanation I could come up with is below. Help on understanding this would be much appreciated - I've thought through this for several days but am still confused. I've never been this stumped after reviewing a wrong RC answer.

Q14: I understand why AC C is correct but am still struggling to eliminate A, especially since A seemed supported by lines 37-40 "personal and cultural screens of silence and secretiveness that have enshrouded her past". Here are a few things that I believe discredit A as a viable answer choice:

  • There is a distinction between heritage and history.
  • Although this might be a subtle distinction, in this context "history" means a a factual record of historical facts, where Naomi "reconciles" history - in other words uncovers or accepts difficult truths about her personal history and the historical context in which she lived.

    Heritage, as JY alludes to, refers to cultural or ancestral legacy, including cultural traditions.

    In this case, being discouraged from exploring heritage is not supported(?). I would still argue that if AC A references history (not heritage) it might be supported by lines 37-40. Even with the distinction between history and heritage, I'm not fully convinced that A is not supported. These in-text lines refer to cultural secretiveness. Does this mean that Naomi was discouraged from seeking her heritage? Secretiveness of the past does seem to refer to a form of discouragement.

  • AC A is from Naomi's POV whereas AC C is from Kogawa's.
