Tracking My Preparation for June 2010
Posted: Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:40 pm
Felt like posting everything I'm going to do here so people can give me pointers or glean what little bit of insight I may gain during this process.
Just got all my materials for studying in order. Planning to use:
LGB
LRB
All the preptests I can take.
Kaplan Mastery if time lets me.
Today was the first day (3/20/10). I took a practice test to see where I start and didn't kill myself focusing on time, but tracked it anyways.
I took PT 30.
The only section I went over on time was LG. Took 45 minutes start to finish. I finished 6 minutes under on RC, should have gone back, because my score here was lacking.
Section 1 - LG - 45 Minutes - 3 wrong
Section 2 - LR - 35 minutes - 6 wrong
Section 3 - RC - 29 Minutes - 6.5 wrong
Section 4 - LR - 31 minutes - 2.5 wrong
The .5's are, because as I write scores down, I mark the one I'd put on the test, but if there was another I thought it could be I'd mark it down. If the answer was the one I selected I only gave myself half credit, if it was the other "maybe" I marked down it was completely wrong. Just a way to keep myself from putting down more than 1 answer, because I won't give myself full credit if there's more than one marked. Even though I put down 2 answers with one highlighted more than once still!
Raw score - 83
Fixed score - 167
Now I get to go back and find out what went wrong. Especially in RC and the first LR section.
Tomorrow: Going to start going through the LGB.
Any tips? Should I be able to get the 167 higher even though I went over on time to start?
