  • There are always two types of people, so he's allowed to voice his concern, no matter how outrageous and inappropriately placed it is...
  • Listen to everything JY tells you. Everything, especially with games, Its my best section and i was still at -4 and -5 and managed to get it to -1 and -0 at the end of 2 weeks because of JY's fool proof method and I've used every method out there, h…
  • That winter delay was a once in a while thing, it's not regular at all. A few things before you think about postponing, are you taking practice tests? what are you scoring? is it what you want to be scoring? it's ultimately up to your practice test…
  • I would say you should redo your old ones… starting from the oldest you wrote to the newest and write the 7 fresh ones you have have once a week till the test. I would start at the 40’s and use tests before the 40’s to practise on particular areas, …
  • @lsathopeful I have used both of these resources thoroughly too. I think the Trainer does a really good job with the reading comprehension section. It was my worst section and i never saw myself ever improving in that section and i did, with the hel…
  • EXCELLENT! Its in fact better than the books because it's almost like a one on one lesson and almost also guaranteed all the questions you have about the video might have been asked and answered in the comment thread on the video. do NOT hesitate. D…
  • Its the average of your last 3 PT's before the test and then + or -3 from that average. Usually apparently people drop because they second guess everything..
  • Extremely Helpful! I didn't know what was wrong with my LR and why i wasn't improving at all but that was only because i was doing it wrong the entire time. The fact that i redid all the questions without time pressure and i would have to describe…
  • Hey @smwznk15 it's really what works for everyone. I plan to write 3 this week too and time myself in LR and RC on days of review as well, even the day before because my only problem now is getting the timing down... but i'm making sure to do that i…
  • I completely agree with @Ikethelsat! Ive been a little discouraged because my LR seems to be going down and RC is going up (Struggled with this section the most) but 8 well now 7 days is still a lot of time to get you where you need to be or want to…

  • J.Y. advocates solving for possibilities, but i'm not sure if you took the course, there is a pretty basic diagram he teaches you for pure sequencing games and you learn to read this so fast, that you don't need to use possibilities, ever. If poss…
  • The main error in the argument is that the author is assuming a causation. I understood that answer choice as wrong because it starts with "if crying has a tendency to reduce stress....". We cannot even assume that. If we did, we would be committing…
  • You will get that -5 in LG FOR SURE! Actually 7sage improves everything, so if you're looking for a bump or even a leap, 7sage is it. although i think you're killing it already.
  • @thelocal711 Thank you very much for that! i'm so bad at notating that it most definitely slows me down when i'm always trying to write everything down!
  • Oh. I thought it was just me! I am very much missing all these questions i should be getting! its the strangest thing. I think we’ve just studied so much...
  • BR is usually done without the time pressure, so that you can check to see if it was a timing problem or just that you don’t understand the question at all. In which case you want to sit on that question until you understand it and if now, skip it …
  • Its always better to be safe than sorry, so go there early. Take an easy game with you. I have read that you want to do some easy questions before writing the test, it puts you in the right mental state, especially cause you're advised to review an…
  • Hi there!! I’m in the same boat as you are and i found myself improving greatly bc of these following steps. If i get the answer wrong with time pressure and then i BR and i get it right, I retrace my steps during the test (Thats why i like to BR,…
    in Hit a Peak? Comment by ONuellaO May 2014
  • Which one? there are two versions of PT51 Is it the Flaw Question or The Argument Part Question?
  • Thank you ALL! Hi @ewch1992 My goal score is low 160’s i’m at 156 right now and royally bombed a test yesterday 151 i was so upset bc i made so many stupid mistakes and questions i should be getting right, i got wrong.. so i panicked and decided i…
  • Oh hi! I have all the reasoning down and i know exactly what the question entails, i just really wanted to know if there was a way to diagram that statement and i was missing it? Thank you though!!
  • It is very difficult to predict the gap for these questions, very very difficult bc most of the time they are very subtle. The secret is to have a very strong grip on the argument that is being made (conclusion and support) and go into the answer ch…
  • LR was my middle section and i found that the latter approach you used @E.T.90066-1 worked best for me.. and i did LR over and over and found that i was just naturally fast from 1 to 10 finishing in 10 mins and the faster i went the more questions …
  • I agree with @elliottcovert but maybe not for an entire week? You don’t have to do an entire PT but i would recommend one timed LR and RC just to keep those skills fresh.
  • I did that today and you know you've made it when...
  • I do 10 questions with 15 minutes on the timer. Blind review it and check my answers and i would repeat that process until i couldn't take it anymore... you could also do it in 23-25 questions but also time yourself so you know how to work under pre…
  • Drilling is focusing on one specific thing and doing it over and over again. For example, the problem sets JY has at the end of most of his lessons is considered drilling. Most beneficial way to drill i would say is J.Y’s way, within a certain amo…
  • I for one strongly recommend drills, They are a HUGE help because they not only help you brush up on your skills, they reinforce them especially if its a second time around, so i strongly recommend drills, thats how i’m improving.
  • I give myself something with every goal i accomplish, i find that staring at a picture of it motivates me. You could give yourself something when you score 160. Something HUGE.
