Re: The Official June 2014 Study Group
Yeah I just finished printing previously done PT sections to be my 5th/6th section (any LR over -4, any RC over -4, any LG over -2).
There does seem to be a lot of people missing lately! Hopefully they are just going hard with studying!

Oh don't worry, I'm here
I'm drilling games form 1-39 to the max. -15 on my first PT is unacceptable. If I get that down, I'll be approaching 160.
I am also drilling RC (although not as much) and today I went over some resolve the paradox questions, which I can't seem to do well under the clock. Hopefully drilling and carefully reviewing will help me overcome this hurdle.

Walt, I couldn't pinpoint exactly how LR got stranger, but it has been mentioned on TLS before in regards to the recent exams.

Drilled 40 MBT questions today, and I was happy with getting 36 correct! I split them up: 10 level 1's, 10 level 2's and so on! I am going to re-read the Manhattan LR this week and finish my remaining cambridge packets accordingly! Then PT's til I drop!

Approaching? Dude I think you'd be in the mid 160s if I remember your breakdowns correctly. We have lots of work to do but we'll get to hitting those 170s inLouis1127 wrote:Oh don't worry, I'm here

Re: The Official June 2014 Study Group
I recommend you guys using the Cambridge Excel Spreadsheets that allow you to input your PT answers and it shows you the %s for which types of questions you got wrong, etc. It's showing me my weakness, although there aren't too many tests in there yet.
Yeah I'm not sure why this thread is so inactive...but if it means less test takers, doesn't it mean better chances this cycle? Okay...I won't read into it like that.
I just wish this thread was poppin'--it's a great motivator.

I'm only getting ~70% of flaws correct, I think the trick for me is to just really realllllly slow down with them, and take each answer choice as it comes. I also tend to read quickly and eliminate an AC before I even realize what it means.

Re: The Official June 2014 Study Group
Thanks for the encouragement, LiveLearnHope!
And Walt, you are correct, getting games down to a reasonable level alone will likely put me over the 160 area nice catch.
Also, props to agalfano on a great day of drilling. I remember there was a day when you were struggling- but you got over it and now you are having drilling success!
SHAMELESS PLUG TIME: If any of you are LR pros, I would appreciate any tips as far as attacking complex, difficult stimuli that have lots of different things going on, so to speak. While I certainly wouldn't be opposed to you all checking out the thread I made (there's the shameless plug), if you have any general advice as far as attacking harder stimuli, I would greatly appreciate you sharing your strategies. Basically, my issue is that I KNOW that I can't memorize everything in the stimulus (I will forget something or mix something up in my head), and so I am wondering how to attack a stimulus in which there is alot of stuff going on (like alot of relationships between things, for example).

I can't wait to be a lawyer.
I'm so excited about the future.
If you guys haven't seen "Rainmaker," give it a watch.
Matt Damon is in it. It's a great movie. I'm hyped up. Gonna do a section of LG and call it a night.

Re: The Official June 2014 Study Group
This is my first post on TLS. I have been reading this thread for the past week or so and thought i would join in. I started studying for the June test at the beginning of March.
Today i took PT 23
LG-2
LR-5
LR-5
RC-11
164
I am planning on doing RC all day tomorrow. Any pointers to help from going insane? Or even better, personal tips for RC?

Re: The Official June 2014 Study Group
I just briefly took a look at the game, started writing out a long and detailed response by splitting up the scenarios, and then got that “ah ha” moment.louierodriguez wrote:I don't normally have trouble with games...
I must be missing something very obvious... it is one in the morning...
what's wrong this?
PT 29, G2, Q12 (asking what could be if all three articles of clothing are included in the two mannequins).
The simple answer is that we are told that mannequin 2 wears the navy skirt. Assuming that one of the mannequins has to wear the yellow skirt (in order to satisfy the stimulus), that means that mannequin 1 must wear the yellow skirt.
The long answer is that there are only two possible ways that the two mannequins can wear all three yellow articles of clothing, none of which allow for (C):
1.............................. 2
Y Hat................... N Hat
R Shirt................. Y Shirt
Y Skirt................. N Skirt
R Tie
1............................... 2
R Hat.................... Y Hat
Y Shirt.................. N Shirt
Y Skirt.................. N Skirt
R Tie
Again, I just briefly looked at the game for about a minute so hopefully I’m not missing anything.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
