Can't believe it finally paid off. I feel like this year just consisted of me crying in my room studying LOL. It was a tough process, but I'm just so happy it's over.

This test sucks ass. It just really does, I have to say it. It literally drained all my mental energy for a year. Trust me, it wasn't like I was good at this test from the start. It took countless hours of staring at a question to figure out what the hell is going on. But hard work does pay off - please, please never give up.

I want to be of help to anyone who is going through this process. Please ask me anything, I may be able to help.

    @ColdBrew180 The most useful "general" tip I can give you is to read the stimulus slowly and take the time to understand exactly what's going on. Dwelling on the answer choices will just take away your time. Make a journal filled with questions that you thought were particularly difficult and review them when you have spare time. If you would like to PM me about what exactly you want improvement in, I can tell you what I think.

    @Platinum Oh dear, RC sucks. It was my "bad" section. DO NOT rush through passages. Read everything carefully and understand each sentence. Highlight select details you feel could get tested (for instance, important dates, names ... etc). Also, DO NOT choose an answer choice if you cannot locate textual evidence. If you can, choose confidently and move on. Again, you can always PM me about your situation if you would like to talk about this.

    How did you deal with test anxiety? Sometimes I just go blank if I get stuck on a question and this is a major issue for me.
