Watching JY break down passages has really helped me. He always asks questions, figures out the MP of each paragraph, and pushes back the information in the passage.
Understanding each paragraph and how it relates to the others is crucial, notice …
I found that my score went up after I stopped wearing "professional" clothes to write. I had been writing PTs in my sweats and a t shirt and a trusted friend said "I always find if you dress the part, you'll perform better," so I started wearing a k…
Thank you, Nicole!
I haven't written a 70s series yet, but I just cracked that 160 plateau with a 173/176br (:D) on PT 65... should I avoid writing PT 77 tomorrow?
Interested in this as well, my support worker from my undergrad said I wasn't going to get any, so I didn't look into it, still curious about the process and potential results.

Just wondering, do you think you benefit much by taking PTs at the end of the day as opposed to closer to the time you would be taking the actual test?
I take PTs at 1pm whenever I can, emulating the timing and feel of test d…
Anyone else feel like they would prefer a razor sharp pencil for LG and RC, but a knub for LR? I felt that during the PT I just wrote, having a knub made bubbling so much easier, maybe so easy that I had a serious amount of time to look over my ques…
I have a solid plan including my food for that day, when I'll be up, the 15km bike ride to the test centre (which is nothing for me, I ride 200+km/wk and 38/day Monday to Friday, most of my PTs have happened after 38km of hard riding and and 8hr wor…
I went with the avocado and a couple fried eggs in the morning, a bulletproof coffee, rode my bike roughly the distance it'll be to the test centre, then I ate two sol filets, a handful of spinach, a carrot and some lemon juice about an hour before …

I did a section of LR, a RC passage, and a couple of games in the hotel next to the testing center (where I stayed).

I typically do a section of games and some LR.
How close to test time do you …
As you're working down the answer choices with any question, if you're eliminating wrong answers as you go, once you reach E after eliminating the previous answers, you've made this the right formula!
If you HAVE to check B and C, shouldn't you then be checking D and E?
With CBT questions, if you're aiming to complete all of the questions and get them all correct, once you believe the correct answer is A, circle A, earmark the question and move…
61.4.24 was a good reinforcement of how mechanically logic works when dealing with SA questions. Especially when you're at the end of the 5th section of a PT and your brain is mush, if I'd taken just a little more time to write out the logic instead…
Take notice of whatever mistakes you made in that section and make a note of them so you don't repeat them!
I've gone -2 to -0 in LG since finishing the curriculum, but my last PT was a brutal -9, because I whiffed the inference phase and didn't th…
I envy anyone who is capable of emulating their test-day conditions on a daily basis leading up to June 6th! Sadly, I work at 7am every day and must be up at 4, however I've used this weekend and our long weekend in Canada to emulate it twice so fa…
Cannot imagine discussing anything with other people!
My plan: preparing myself for whatever sections I know are left and staying positive!
Need to figure out more about what I can just leave outside
@"Cant Get Right" said:
Start now treating every day like it’s test day
Yess! Get into that mindset on a daily basis and come test day it'll just be another day!

Sorry
Don't worry about it, the one thing I've found the most frustrating about this process is that the people I try discussing the nature of the test with outside of this forum really don't have much to say about it.
It…

Forget the rule and just think about it.
You are a valuable asset to this community, thank you.
When I first read this, I was pissed about being wrong, but yeah, of course, thinking about it just a little bit reveals that …
Congrats! This should serve as inspiration for all of those who have a low diagnostic, especially to show that having ESL shouldn't stand in the way of your legal dreams!
