Do you advise PTing before finishing the Core Curriculum?

  No, it's better to hold off on taking PTs until you're finished with the curriculum. You can always go back and review certain lessons that you think you may have forgotten. You can also can back and drill the problem sets. When you get started on taking PTs the most crucial part in perfectly your score besides having a deep understanding of the fundamentals is BR.

  I completely agree with @emli1000. Furthermore, there are a finite number of PTs, so once you exhaust them you are out of prep material. Work hard and build a strong foundation, and then start taking practice test. I know that you are anxious to start taking PTs. Trust me, I have been there, but finishing the course beforehand is in your best interest.

  I would base it more off where you are in your prep than curriculum
  for June(I hope you're not going for) its way past time you should be PTing. if October, theres so much time you are better off continuing the course and drilling by type a whole lot with maybe a PT a week starting at the very end of curriculum and adding more as you get closer to test date

  Sorry for my ignorance, I know what BR is, but what do you mean by BR group? I read couple of threads about Skype and BR group, but I don't fully grasp the idea. I am in, but would you mind if I am slower than the rest?

  We take PTs on our own, BR on our own, and then we BR together on a joint Skype call. It works well because you get to hear others' process for coming to the right answer.

  @nicole.hopkins I'm currently working on final papers and studying for final exams. Also, I'm only up to PT 45 and I do not want to jump ahead into the 60s because I am not taking the exam until October and I want to take the PTs in order.
