Making Jump to High 170s

Hi all,

I’ve been stuck in the high 160s/low 170s for a while now; my average for the last 10 PTs I’ve taken is a 171. I’m typically -0 or -1 on logic games, -2 to -4 on LR and RC.

Does anyone have any advice for how to make that jump to getting those last few questions right?

    What’s your timing looking like?

    I normally finish LG with about a minute to spare. For LR, I am trying to do the first 15 in 15 minutes, 20 in 22.5 minutes, and 25 in 30 minutes then return to any skipped questions in last 5 minutes. RC I don’t really have a timing strategy but I generally finish with a minute or two to spare.

    Have you filmed yourself on RC/LR? The 2-3 questions you seek are the trickiest to snag and video can help illuminate opportunities to snag them.

    In that case I would try to shave off a decent chunk on average (say, a min and a half) and get really technical about your skipping strategy (if you aren’t alread). I’d do a lot of times drill-work (if different lengths) to at least try to get faster while keeping up your accuracy. If your BR is really high at this point, you have a good idea as to what questions bother you and can use that extra time to redue them with some care. The hope is that this reduces the amount you get wrong by at least three over the whole of the test. And obviously three questions is huge within the top score band. Good luck!

    Record yourself, and use the analytics to recognize your weaknesses in question types, and behavior and timing. Use intensive sessions to focus on question types, and takes notes on bad behavioral and timing habits to try to fix those problems. Pay close attention to JY's train of thought in his videos. Feel the JY; Anticipate the JY; Become the JY.
