Tyler!! You're great, I love you. Thanks for taking the time to write out your story. I hope you'll stick around, we'd miss you otherwise!! I'm still here to talk if you ever need me regardless. :)
It depends on your story, but many schools even explictly state their appreciate for concise statements. Definitely try whittling it down. You'd be surprised how much you can.
Thanks, for me the issue is speed. I've scored between 0 to -2 when TIME is not a factor and I do it untimed. But when I do it timed, its a whole other story. So I am gong to flooproof and focus on speed. thanks.
@notguilty90 hey that was a really helpful tip. i'll try it! Thanks for sharing your success story. i am usually getting to 3 passages and i have to guess on the final one, which is terrible but a reality at this point.
