Foolproofing

I have just begun the foolproofing process for pt's 1-35 and i am just curious as to how many sections those of you who foolproofed did per day. I was originally planning on doing one a day that way i can keep up with RC and LR while foolproofing but i have not started timed prep tests yet and was hoping to sit for the August exam and have October as a fall back if it doesn't go well. I am concerned doing one per day would put me to early/mid June and then only roughly 2-2.5 months to prep test. Do you guys think that is enough time for pt's? Thanks in advance for your advice and help!

    Hi! I think how long you need for the PTs phase depends on where you are at now and where you want to get to. Did you take a diagnostic? What is your goal score? Some of the Sage’s around here took a few years to get into the 170s. I’ve only met one person who managed to get to 170 within a few months. I don’t think that’s common. So unless you are very close to scoring your desired score, I tend to think 2.5 months for PTing isn’t enough.

    The way I work fool proofing is to go through 2-4 games and record my time, the date and if I got any wrong. I proceed to do this daily until I get it right under the allotted time. Then I’ll come back to the game about a week later to see if I can still work through it correctly in the allotted time. But the good news is that usually fool proofing LGs is the easiest way to raise you score.

    Thanks so much for all the helpful insight! I did take a diagnostic back in February and scored a 143. My goal is a 163. So far LR and RC have come much easier for me than LG so i am hoping foolproofing will help in that area. The strategy you described above sounds great too, thanks for sharing that!

    You’re welcome! If LR and RC come more naturally to you then definitely focus on fool proofing those LGs. You can increase a good amount by doing that if that’s your weakest section. LGs was my weaker section as well and fool proofing is what got me into the 160s but I did have to work on LR and RC before I moved up any higher. So it’s good that you are going to work on RC and LR while you are fool proofing LGs.
