Sounds like your advisor gave you some really bad advice. Keep it positive!
I would write a strong essay about your current (college-level performance) and many positive personal attributes (juggling time constraints jobs and still succeeding to a …
LOL! I know what you are feeling. Keep in mind this is only a test and one you can re-write without too much penalty from most law schools. It is not like you are awaiting a medical diagnosis.
I hope the curve is on the bigger side-still thinking of cancelling my score. I was more nervous then I thought I would be and finally when I got in the grove my watch went off during RC and soon after that there was some music playing outside (what…
Thanks for your reply. I am generally bubbling the last 1-2 Qs on the fourth passage when the timer runs out. No extra time. I felt a large sense control, and accordingly a calm after taking a peak and knowing what was ahead on that PT that day, bu…
A/B passages seem to have more abstract Qs and Answer choices.
For example:
(1) capture the meaning of the author A and B on how they would describe something
(2) two titles that are representative of A and B
(3) generic relationship between the…
I think LR is a more predictable section than RC. So, if I were you I would
1st priority redo all the LR ones you missed. Then do like ~10- untimed LR sections to hone your skills and switching your brain between the different question types and ga…
I am like you. I remember the question and video too well. Do a lot of different (yet similar) games. This should have the same overall effect and it will build your confidence and intuition (in attacking the game in the abstract--knowing where the…
A correct evaluate Answer choice (AC) is one that in the most extreme case (e.g. all of the time, 110%, a billion ) the AC -- strengths the argument. And when you put it in the other opposite extreme condition (e.g. almost never, 0.1%, 1) the AC --…
Its always about making the existing premises somehow more related to drawing the conclusion.
(1) Add more strength/support to believe one/or more stated premise in the passage
(2) Exclude a possible gap (assumption) in a stated premise in the pas…
Being well read is great of course. But you can't control what is given to you on test day. So be comfortable with dissecting and defining the many horrible RC structures. In this way, redoing RC passages is helpful. I agree with the statement "I th…
i am a working mom so in general i do 4 sections. i do 5 sections on occasion and i don't see much difference expect when I do 2 reading comp sections. if you are going to doing 5 sections for stamina purposes, i would do 2 reading comps (or whatev…
I had the same problem. Really I think it comes down to being bad at quickly dealing with abstract language (because they almost always use abstract language in the ACs). I got significantly better by eliminating obviously wrong ACs and by attackin…
I think it is best to really understand passage A and then use that information to compare and contrast to B (just as J-Y says in general reading comp):
For example, after understanding A ...when reading passage B ask:
How is passage B related to …
For me, the introduction of the comparative reading passage made completing the RC more difficult. I think it is introduced around or about PT 50-60?
If anyone has advice on tackling the comparative reading passage I would love hearing your input…
