Big AR Improvement

I want to thank you guys especially for the logic games explanations. From my first diagnostic to my most recent PT, I improved my AR from -13 to -2. It's not a fluke. I'm not a genius. I'm a regular guy who spent the time to learn the wisdom offered here. Thank you so much. You've helped me tremendously as I prepare for the September exam

    It took a month. June 6th - July 3rd. I put in two hours a day on AR before id go to work, trying to master all four games in one PT each day. Now, I work for the USPS so when I'm out delivering the mail I get the chance to think about the games too...different ways to look at problems and solutions. One day everything just clicked. I'm not sure how or why. It just did. Repetition is the mother of learning and it paid off. One month - most days doing 5-7am studying. 10 right to 21 right.

    Remember that everything is formulaic. Break it down as much as you can before you continue.
    Be okay with ambiguity, but draw a fine line between ambiguity and completing gameboards.
    Make sure you spend time working out inferences.
    Lastly, work through them in areas that make you uncomfortable e.g. public transit, coffee shop, etc. Where they are so formulaic, it can be easy to go on autopilot and this can help prevent that.
