How long did it take to foolproof LG for PT's 1-35?

  I've been doing it quite regularly for the past 8 weeks and I'm on PT 24 now. Hoping to be finished with the whole set by the end of this month.

  That's just me--some might work slower or faster, or have more time constraints.

  Depends what else you got going on and how quickly you can get through the games. I think going a single PT (4 games) worth of games per day is reasonable if you study full time. Then again, sometimes I come across games that take me an hour + just to understand.

  You also have to factor in re-doing games you've already done.

  42 days. I did as Alex recommends, one full new game section a day. I also redid that game section the same day after watching the explanation video, did it again the next day, and did it one last time 1 week after the first take.

  It's 42 days because it took a week to finish with the 35th game section which I started on day 35.

  I'd build in a rest day each week if I had to do it again though.

  I also took and blind reviewed PTs during this time, but didn't do any LR or RC prep.

  It felt like plenty of work so I wouldn't push it much harder especially if you still are studying for other sections.

  Good luck!

  Are you close to -0 on sections now?

  Not as close as some get. But as close as I'm ever going to get since I have no incentive to retake. On my last twenty PTs I averaged just over a -1 with a median of -1 and mode of -0. That said every once in a while I would still run into a game which gave me a hard time and get -4 or so either because I couldn't answer some of that game's questions or ran out of time.

  I didn't finish the games on my initial February take.
  After the foolproofing, I missed 1 on the logic games section of my September retake.
