Finally done!

After a slightly disappointing result in August, I was able to meet my goal score in September. I'm thrilled to be able to move on and begin submitting applications. For those considering a retake after scoring below PT average: it's awful to have to recommit to studying, but it can be worth the time and money to bet on yourself with a retake. There's absolutely a decent amount of variability in scores just given on whether the test on a given day plays to your strengths. Getting the first-time test-taking nerves out of the way can also help you stay more focused and not make mistakes you wouldn't normally make.

And, for those considering tutoring: Chris Bearne is fantastic! I worked with him primarily on Logic Games and reading, and I think he was one of the main reasons I was able to meet my goal score. When I started working with him, I was comfortable with the basics of the games, but my timing/consistency was not where I wanted it to be: I was maybe -2 to -4 on most sections. Chris helped me get to a place where I was confident in getting near -0, even on sections that took me by surprise. He was also incredibly kind and professional, and clearly puts in work even outside of sessions to be prepared to help his students- finding games or passages that are appropriate for your individual needs, and reviewing screen video of real practice test takes. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, especially someone looking to break a plateau in Logic Games.

    I'm so happy for you! Congrats! Out of curiosity did you drink anything with caffeine in it while studying and taking the actual test like coffee for example?

    I did! I took it in the afternoon, and timed my caffeine intake pretty carefully, with a soda in the morning and a large coffee right before the test. That said, I'm addicted to caffeine, so that's typical for me. I don't think I would have wanted to consume way more than usual- I get pretty nervous for tests and caffeine exacerbates that.
