  if your goal is 155, you should focus on LG. LG is the surest way to gain huge points and possibily the quickest way to improve as well. Go through the core curriculum of 7sage for LG section.

  I second this. You should go through the LG portion of the Core Curriculum and foolproof everything in the CC.

  It is possible, especially if your weakness is mainly in one section. What were your scores for each section? For example, in my diagnostic, I was -20 on LR, -4 on RC, and -8 on LG. It was extraordinarily clear that LR was my opportunity. (Plus, learning LR can help you understand the other sections better!) If I could get my -20 down to a -8, that would been the score jump you are looking for. If I spent 30 hours a week for a month on LR, I have no doubt I'd be able to get those 12 extra questions right. If you can commit the time, you can probably get the score you want!

  Hey! Thanks for your comment! I have been going through the core curriculum currently so I haven't done a practice test more recently but typically I miss about 22 in LR, 10 or so in RC, and like around 7-8 in LG! I just finished the 7sage logical reasoning curriculum and I think it is helping me, I am working on going through the logic games now! Hopefully will get started on PTS again more frequently by the end of this week!

  Hey I started with a 140 diagnostic a little over 2 years ago. Highest PT was a 166 but unfortunately got a 161 on thr actual. Although I improved drastically in all of the sections compared to my diagnostic, I noticed the most gains in logic games. Went for minus 2 in the recent September take. Definitely spend most of your time boosting your LG score

  LG is good, but LR improvements have twice the return. I'd try to tackle both in the CC and drill and PT with whatever time that allows for.

  How hard should one go with fool proofing LG’s. In other words what I’m asking is, can a week of fool proofing the games if done vigorously help improve LG scores
