In the same boat! Working full time as a paralegal with a 1 hour commute to and from work every day. I've been struggling to find the time and motivation, but I wake up at 5:15 every morning and try to crush some logic games along with a few after w…

Agree with @Eric25 think about how set you are on your target schools/financial aid. You got an awesome score no doubt, but if you are really set on certain schools I would not leave it up to a 50% chance. If you are satisfied with the opportunities…

I wouldn't say redo the CC with a score of 160. If you know what your weaknesses are to a fair degree, focus on them. Having upgraded to Ultimate +, you have access to the LG bundle 1-35. Drill those to start if you are coming up shorter than you wo…

@Alex said: HYS or one of Columbia NYU Cornell w/ a good scholarship. Essentially big law or bust has lead me to only consider schools where I know I'll have an amazing shot. Curious, out of those three which is the most splitter friendly?

I'm currently working as a pharmacy technician and studying around 3-3.5 hours a day. Average around 35 hours of work a week. Hours are flexible if you find a pharmacy that has a fair amount of employees already. Pharmacies near college campuses are…

@Sami said: I usually just look at where I represented the rule. So if it’s on master game board, I now just take a look at the board and try to see without this rule what still works and what’s a world that is now open that wouldn’t have be…

@"Cant Get Right" said: I eliminate redundancies in my representation by scratching them off completely. I don't want any extraneous information lying around to distract me. So if I write out a rule in my rule list and later decide it’s better…

I'd say the same FPing method could apply to the CC sets as the LG 1-35. I'm currently doing a game on days 1,2, 7. And when I say "doing a game," I mean on each day I am attempting the game with a stopwatch until I have scored at/under the recommen…

Thank you everyone! It seems that a checkmark is popular for both the rules in the stimulus as well as the translations - which seems wise in comparison to my scratching out completely haha.

@"J.Y. Ping" I have an iPhone 6S+ and have no issues. Running 11.2.5

Here's how I'm fool proofing games (on PT 12 now). I work through a game untimed and score myself IF I manage to finish. I recommend watching the video next regardless of whether or not you score perfect - you can discover faster ways and more infer…

Thanks for this! I'm in the process of fool proofing (on PT 12 now) and have had both encouraging and discouraging moments so far.
-
@"Seeking Perfection" Awesome detailed explanation! Thank you.
-
@"Seeking Perfection" said: You repeat the game that day though. I didn't repeat it the next day unless I was already scheduled to. That helps keep it under control. Each day, I would repeat any of the twelve games I was doing until I could …

@"Seeking Perfection" Awesome. Yeah I suppose I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't the only one stacking so much. It especially becomes a lot when you miss a question or two on a repeated PT and have to repeat the game.. Thanks!
-
@"Cant Get Right" Thank you!

@Feb2018Taker Change that username and keep us updated on your progress! Awesome!

Awesome

Beyond buying the Ultimate + package, I don't believe there is a way to get the LG and LR bundles. You could technically purchase the individual PrepTests and then simply print out the LGs/LR/RC (the PrepTests come with explanations I believe)! But …

Love it! Thanks

Yes! It really is all about understanding sets that various things are a part of. If you have knowledge about "pencils," you have knowledge about SOME writing utensils. If you have knowledge about "carrots," you have knowledge about SOME vegetab…
-
@hawaiihi That's awesome! As someone not extremely familiar with Excel or Google Sheets, how do you extend the formatting? Say for the LG's how would you "drag" the formatting downwards for more PTs?
-
Ugh great news, but definitely adds a new variable to the already complicated decision of taking in June or September haha. Now: take in June, July or September?
-
My 2 cents: 1. Read with your finger or pencil following the line you're on. 2. Download one of the various speed reading applications and use those until test day 3. You will have to cut down on time spent in other areas (answering questions, di…

Totally normal

Hey! I am ~92% done with the CC and I personally didn't drill questions with any strict method. That's largely because my schedule that 7sage made for me has me doing around 3.5 hours a day. Here's what I did. I printed off every LG problem set an…
-
@"Leah M B" I don't need the bundle, but given that my course (premium) only comes with 36-58 or so I didn't want to waste prep tests that may be better suited for full-length rather than drills. Especially when I'll have Ultimate + soon enough...
-
@tylerdschreur10 thank you for the advice. I did start the CC in December, so i figured 6 months isn't an unreasonable time to get to 175 if I commit myself to studying.. But the more stories I hear of other that have achieved 170+, it does seem tha…

@BD I read somewhere that you can place the LG in a sheet protector and use a fine tip dry erase marker to fool proof! I've started using this method and it works wonder. Only complaint is that sometimes your hand may erase part of what you've done.…

Yeah...What if I am an University of Alabama student?! Haha
