I know David already answered and his is pretty much definitive, but Harvard actually has example resumes that they put up on their site as an example of what they consider good!

I honestly agree with that suggestion as well. It's better to take a handful of extra seconds rereading something and solidifying your knowledge then wasting a minute on each question because you constantly have to jump back to the passage. Now that…
Well you are obviously going to get decently biased answers here, so it is no surprise I recommend 7Sage for the most efficient way to prepare.
I wouldn't even say that it is impossible to score very high when just prepping with self-study books, …
Out of curiosity: Are you saying that from beginning to end your LR and RC score never really improved? I may have read that wrong. If so, what types of review/study methods are you using? Also, is the ~ -6 for your LR between both sections or is th…
So I'm not sure if you are interested in reading it, but me and several others recently posted tips in a similar topic. The poster asked for advice from those who score within -5 on RC, and I think a lot of the advice given is fantastic. Here is the…
My honest advice is to push your timeline back. I definitely think that through hard work you can achieve the score you desire, but that is a huge jump to try to make in six weeks.
Before talking about restudying, you first have to figure out "wha…
First of all, I just want to say congratulations. I know you aren't quite satisfied with your score, but the important thing is that you tackled it. While you are focused on the negative of the situation, don't forget to give yourself a pat on the b…
I just looked the game over and the poster above me got it right; E violates the "OR" rule by having neither O nor J. This can't happen because if one is at R then the other MUST be at S. Missing one of the entities forces the other into S.
I personally would go for a topic like the surfing one, but the first could work.
The first one just seems like it has a TON of content in it; I'm not saying it couldn't/wouldn't work just that it seems much harder to write a concise narrative tha…
I have to say that I personally find that bizarre since it was so long ago, but oh well lol. I suppose an addendum might be appropriate, but that is my opinion. Sounds like the perfect opportunity for the good old "young and dumb" addendum, but I'm …
Nutrition: Nothing too specific; I don't eat many times a day so I don't overeat. Try to get a good amount of protein and a decent amount of fat.
Exercise: Before this semester I would run 3 times a week and lift 3 times a week. I currently feel li…
Two of my LORs I had very close relationships with. One teacher I had 3 classes with and was VP of a club he headed. My other I was a very exceptional student in his class. These two pretty much didn't ask me for anything as they knew me well.
My t…
I agree with calling to make sure, but they most likely are only talking about college. College suspensions show up on your transcripts; I don't think HS ones do.
IMO it really hinges on your willingness and ability to switch from your already learned methods to new methods. If you are totally open to it and can put the old material out of your mind then I see no problem. I, too, have tried the Kaplan course …

Thank you for the advice&great insight!
I wish I had time for reading outside materials...I'll try.
I definitely recommend reading outside materials as well. I think a big part of why I am "good" at RC is because in HS…
I think it might just be for statistical information more than anything. I'm not sure what they would do with it, but they might notice a trend linking scores and preparation method.
I agree that you should drill single passages. You should also see what is using up the most time. Do you spend too much time reading the passage? Is it the questions? Try to identify any specific weakness.
Alternatively, if you know it is a few h…
I always go back to the passage if only for a couple of seconds to confirm an answer, but in your passage I would say the best nouns/ ideas to remember would be
1. First group of scientists(Group A)
2. Group A's explanation 3. Group B of scientist…
I usually read it and retain general information such as the structure of everything, certain opinions such as the author's or the opinions of any key people/groups.
When people say you should read for structure they usually mean that you need to …
