  • That's awesome! Congrats!
  • Completely agree. I spent enough time with it the day I can definitely see what the writers intended. Trying to highlight where the confusion happened on my part (which seems to be fairly widespread) rests on a train of thought that could be sparke…
  • I can't see his explanation either, but the shift from "the" to "this" seems to weaken the sense of bi-conditionality. By not sticking with "the" it reads to me as though it is opening up the application of laws from outside Weston. It's been a few …
  • Hi there! As for PT's, I would say two at the absolute max. I did one full PT on weekends and one much earlier PT (from the 50ish range) as a one section/day PT. So two per week, but not both in one setting. I think the biggest benefit to that stra…

  • You'll find sections like that that just wreck you. Remember the difficulty is entirely subjective. Even if something's a "2 star" doesn't mean it isn't a 16 star for you. Treat it like a learning opportunity. Were your misses concentrated on a spec…
  • I did a sort of staggered sequence of later PT's. I started at 65 to make sure I had PT's saved for future dates, then did 65, 75, 66, 76, 67, 77 etc. Then I jumped to 83 this week before the June date.
  • You can purchase #83 from 7sage

  • @AshleighK Yes and no. I never really stopped the fool proofing train, but I did focus on troublesome games. I did every game at least twice on each pass (so 4 total). Games that I had any ounce of hesitation on I kept in the rotation. I constantly …
  • I did both. I went 1-35 in order. Then I divided them all by type and did them again.
  • At least 1-35. Doing 1/day is the fastest you should aim for. 40-50 days is pretty realistic.
  • If you're doing that well on BR and are skipping questions at the END, then I would look into skipping strategies. There are posts in the forum as well as discussions in webinars. I aim for two benchmarks to keep me on track. 1) 15 questions in 15 …
  • If there's a game that really tripped you up, try 1) finishing it by solving for all worlds 2) finishing without solving all worlds - try to mine inferences step 1 uncovered 3) if possible solve it with another board (grouping, double-layer sequenci…
  • I was planning to start when I was 30 before realizing 3 months definitely wasn't enough study time. Luckily it turns out (for me anyway) once you get past 30, the time crunch seems less intense haha.
  • That is frustrating, but don't lose hope. If you're BR score is that high you can push through it. Here are some things that might help Endurance: As mentioned above - do longer tests. Work up to 6 sections if you need to. Or maybe do two tests yo…
  • That all looks promising to me! We all have a range of scores we are likely to hit. It seems to often be +/- 3-5 points. Test 2 might have played to your strengths and been a little inflated, test 3 may have played to weaknesses, or there is just so…
  • I can't speak to what employment opportunities may be available for you as well as some other people on the forum surely can. However, if you're in a place where you don't need the income, and it's something you really want to do then why not? Just …
  • Have you done or read any of the LG fool proof methods? (Master all games in PTs 1-35)
  • The only one I can think of that isn't in 7sage videos is I never write numbers for sequencing games. I draw vertical lines so I can tell which space is which. For 5 spaces between 2|3 For 6 spaces between 3|4 For 7 spaces between 3|4 For 8 spac…
  • @anonclsstudent I totally get that impulse, it just never struck me as important. During the bulk of my post-CC prep I tracked my progress based on how many points I missed per section, but I intentionally did sections in an order that kept me from …
  • I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I don't see the point. I worked through tests with a soft timer and got an idea of what the test was, then started prepping. I had no desire for the voice in the back of my mind to be telling me that most people onl…
  • I feel like I've gotten quite a bit out of this routine: PT's 50-59: Section/Day except on full PT Days, review the section right after, again the next day if it went badly PT's 60+ in this order: 65, 75, 66, 76 I started on 65 so I have tests le…

  • Don't get discouraged and remember it's a learnable test! Jump into the Core Curriculum and hold off on more tests until you finish. Edit (I just saw your account says alum, sorry if you didn't mean first diagnostic!)

  • 160 is definitely doable! How quickly depends a lot on your personal strengths/weaknesses and how efficient your study is. From what you described, I would recommend putting a timer on much more regularly (if not all the time). It doesn't mean you h…
  • I just returned to the Hannah LG for the first time in probably 9-10 months. I was completely dumbfounded by it back then. It made perfect sense right away yesterday.
  • Remember to treat it similarly to LR and LG: return to passages you've already done a lot. It seems simple, but it took me way too long to realize. You can't get everything out of a LG after doing it two or three times over two or three days. Go ove…
  • Yes. Get through the CC and fool proof LG. I don't think you'll find a quality breakdown of fundamentals like 7sage CC anywhere else for such a low price.
  • Everything has pretty well been covered above, but I only have the starter pack and can tell you it was enough for me. I never did a legit diagnostic, but it likely would have been in the low 150's. I did all three Bibles cover to cover, after two L…
  • Thanks so much! I made it all the way until the last 3 weeks before only having the starter pack kicked me in the butt! As always, it's good to know JY has echoed frustration with a question haha
  • A few thoughts that might help you study the difference between the two Ask yourself... SA: If this answer is true, is the conclusion definitely true? (Can this argument lose with this?) NA: If this answer is not true, does it undermine the argum…
