  • I feel like a lot of LR argument based questions really focus on the support between the premise and conclusion. When eliminating answer choices, ask yourself "does this really weaken/strengthen the premise/conclusion relationship? A lot of the answ…
  • @akistotle said: I don't know if you have done this already, but you should try making a timing sheet like this: https://imgur.com/YPQJDb9 Here I decided to skip Q4 after spending 35 seconds, which was a right move. But I spent way too mu…
  • @akistotle said: Since you are currently at a 155, you need about 8-10 more questions to get a 160, right?https://www.cambridgelsat.com/resources/data/consolidated-score-conversion-charts/ You have to get about 75 questions correct, so if…
  • @akistotle said: It depends on your target score and your current PT score. If your PT average is in the target range, you should keep what you are doing. But I think one PT a day is way too much. Can you spend enough time reviewing and d…

  • @akistotle said: It's not unusual. But did you think you were ok during the first section or were you panicking? I think you should analyze what was going on by recording yourself and seeing your footage. Even J.Y. says he sometimes skips easy…
  • @"Alex Divine" said: @jennybbbbb said: On the first LR section or first section in general, I always seem to score lower than the rest of the sections. I have tried doing some questions before starting a PT to warm up... n…
  • Yay! Congrats!
  • @"Alex Divine" said: @kjsmith914 said: With just over two weeks until December 2, I've found that my scores have been decreasing. I'm not sure if it's anxiety, burnout, or just being crazy busy at work, but something isn't happenin…
  • @"samantha.ashley92" said: I would look through the exact types of questions you got wrong. Before I learned to not do this, I took the LR part of a PT before I finished learning all of LR. I got -4 on one section and -10 on the other. I reali…
  • @"Jonathan Wang" said: To answer your question directly - no, not typical. But the better answer, in my opinion, is that it doesn't matter if it's typical, it only matters that you fix it. Only you can tell whether you missed those questi…
  • @10000019 said: Did you do a BR? If so, were you able to correct those questions? Was there anything different in your routine before taking this section? Yes, I got only one wrong within the first fourteen questions when BRing. No, it w…
  • @10000019 said: @jennybbbbb Any chance you made a mistake when transferring your scores to the analytics? How many do you usually get correct in the first 10 questions? No I am sure. Around 8 at least
  • @acsimon said: I'd dedicate at least four days where all you do is logic games. I didn't start going to -0 on logic games until I learned to block off chunks of time (multiple study days) to just do games and nothing else. Were I you and takin…

  • I honestly think you can do it. Don't feel discouraged. I am PTing 157 average and hoping to bump it upto 163 by December and if not, I will write December and February. A lot of Canadian schools accept February plus they calculate GPA differently. …
  • I am in a similar situation as you are. Right now, my plan is to fool proof games from PT 45-60. Take PTs everyday and BR right after. I feel like the problem usually is getting use to the time ticking. So far I have seen an improvement in my approa…
  • @BinghamtonDave said: I mean fool proof every possible game you can get your hands on after you have done them as part of a timed set. Easy through hard games, apply the fool proof process to every game you can. It has been my experience tha…
  • @BinghamtonDave said: It is possible that you can score a -0. The exam is...3 weeks out? It is possible but not probable in my estimation. Getting that -8 down to a -5 or -4 is certainly doable, but that last couple of steps to getting a -0…
  • @BinghamtonDave said: What are you currently scoring on a fresh section timed? -7/-8 or so.
  • I wouldn't scan them. The newer RC passages focus more on the main idea/structure of the passage than previous passages. I usually read the passage and then go into the questions. I find myself spending more time reading the RC passages now than for…
  • Yes that completely makes sense! I will be looking at the newer tests now. I was struggling with these questions on the older PTs thinking I understood it and bombed the SA questions when doing a more recent PT for the week. Thank you @FerdaFresh …
  • Wow! This approach definitely helps! Tried it on my first comparative passage using this strategy and let's just say I got 7/7 on the passage. I couldn't be happier! Scored my highest on today's Timed RC section with 21/27. Definitely recommend it…
  • @FerdaFresh said: Also, a short dirty guide to SA questions is to FIND THE CONCLUSION! If a new variable is brought into the conclusion, you should be going into hunt mode only looking at ACs that mention that new variable. Sometimes you get l…
  • @jkatz1488 said: Do you have trouble with these questions at all levels of difficulty? A smattering of wrong answers across difficulties? only missing the very challenging ones? I actually think predicting answers is overrated once you ar…
  • I would try different strategies and see what works first. If you have tried everything and nothing works... maybe try a tutor. Personally, I found that I really just have to read through the passage without making notes or anything and just keeping…
  • When I took a break last year, I pretty much had to start over. I would just do some type of reviewing, drilling LR every day and take some days off between. But then again, it really depends on your individual needs and what works for you. What is…
  • How do you guys time your RC passages? I have found that just reading helps a lot, but I often struggle with getting to the main point of the passage. I take generally longer than 3 minutes to read an entire passage properly so when I know I am pani…
  • Have you been doing separate sections? How long does it take you to do the first 10 questions?
