Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to make up a large gap between timed test scores and blind review test scores. I have been scoring in the high 150s on timed tests and blind reviewing into the low 170s. Others posting in the forums do not seem to have such a large gap.

I thought doing more full timed tests to practice with the timing would help, but over 7-8 tests I have not seen any improvements. The gap is largely made up in LR and RC. Any suggestions? Would greatly appreciate any help!

    Work on full tests and focus on timing strategies.

    Is the loss of points due to accuracy (you attended most questions, and still dropped a lot of points)? or you were not able to get to questions?

    FOR Logical Reasoning - Do section timed tests using the 7sage digital tool and review which type of questions are taking you a "long time" and/or making mistakes. And drill those.

    FOR RC - drill RC passages from PT1-20. During these drill runs, doing the questions is not necessary, but focus on doing the memory method and wrap up the passages and summary within 5mins for each passage.
