@"Alex Divine" Yea, I don't really like their erasers either. That's why I first though of "breaking them in". Then, I thought about the wearing them down to a point thing. I haven't tried it out during a real PT yet but I'll let you know!
Don't take any PTs until you've finished the curriculum. A few of the Mentors here seem to be really good at answering this question... (*ahem* @"Cant Get Right" and @"Alex Divine").
This has a strong "Why Penn?" correlation, but yea as Alex said, discuss in detail how you're a good match for Penn; that's usually what's required in a "why X" essay anyway. Keep it concise, too.
Great thanks. I'll look at old RC passages and focus on the MP to see why the wrong answer choices are plain wrong. And thanks for your advice Alex! I'll do that tonight
+1 for what @"Alex Divine" omitting the answer will definitely not help. Just put in the information accurately because they will assume the same thing if you don't put it anyways.
