  • I haven't tested yet but I do know someone who had the following trajectory: 171 first time 165 second time 176 third time These are amazing scores. And at the same time, when this person saw their 165, they panicked and doubted everything about…
  • @lukerldavis said: I hope there is no rule against reviving old posts, but I have struggled with reconciling how answer choice D is correct and here is how I addressed it broadly and concisely: Broad Flaw: The counselor is using their maj…
  • Had the same thing happen to me a few times. For me, I think it was anxiety about doing poorly on the test. I usually don't struggle with things like this but I think that most people who are on your study regimen have put pressure on themselves to…
  • Love reading through this thread!! I wouldn't characterize myself as an older applicant, but reading this thread has been inspiring nonetheless. I think it's cool that people come into this journey at different points in their lives, and based on ex…
  • thanks @anahibgonz !! I was thinking about this more last night and feel like the most motivational thing I came up with was the fact that the practice tests are limited. Even though it may not feel like it in the moment, every time you answer one o…
  • this was so helpful for me!! I like your tips for LR - the fact that they're all really short and succinct is exactly what I needed but didn't even know I needed. Thanks for this!
  • I think it's back up!

  • @Bryanna A I feel like it's been happening more recently lately, but hard to say for a fact if it's gotten worse. Would love it if admin could explain why these errors keep happening and what they're doing to prevent them in the future, because righ…

  • @laurenscotter I've seen them clear it up in about an hour once before, not sure if it'll be the same thing again this time. Hopefully it'll be sooner, lol
  • me!
  • congrats!!! it's nice to be reminded that other people are on this journey, are pushing through, and getting good results
  • @josephdurante fair enough. I had the same thing: my very first PT included logic games. I hated it and decided to study for the new version without logic games, which meant going through the core curriculum on 7sage, reading some books, etc. When i…
  • same!
  • I think your plan is pretty good. Only thing I'd caution you with is to make sure you aren't just burning through drill questions for the sake of knowing that you can do easy mode + difficult mode, since those questions are ultimately pulled from a …
  • I agree with Oneofsixatninezerofive. I don't have the exact same situation as you do, but we have a few similarities. Covid hit in the middle of my undergrad, which was all huge pre-med classes, anyway. So I have also felt a little worried about ask…
  • I feellllll you. Before I relate though, let me just say: forget about the Diamondbacks and the Rangers. Look at the Phillies. 2005 (didn't win series): won 88 games 2006 (didn't win series): won 85 games 2007 (didn't win series): won 89 games 2…
  • Just adding to what's already been said here - I wouldn't sweat it tooooo much if you don't finish the core curriculum! I started taking PTs after I finished the Foundations because I just got so antsy and nervous about not knowing if I was actually…
  • I think that if your goal is to score 170+, and you're choosing between September or October, maybe go for October. The advice I've heard a few times now is to register for the test once you're scoring within a handful of points of your goal score.…
  • ^^ I agree with kwyoung707, specifically about the 10 minute break. When I first started taking PTs, I didn't use the 10 minute break at all, I would just try to get through all 4 sections with no break. After a few PTs, I realized that taking the t…
  • I had practically the same thing happen to me: I took a PT wayyyyyy before I started studying and got a 149. Then, I finished the Foundations on 7Sage + going through half of Loophole in Logical Reasoning (took me about 2 months). Took another PT an…
