Phenomenal! (And I second the "darn RC.")brendo17 wrote:Long time lurker finally deciding to check-in here. Love how supportive this thread is.
I've been studying fairly seriously since May, but I'm working full time as well, so most of my studying happens on the weekends or late at night after work. I spent a lot of time drilling LG early on, and its really paid off, so I would definitely second the general consensus of "drill baby drill." I'm about 15 points above my diagnostic at this point, but still have a few points to go to put me over that hump (darn RC). Best of luck to everybody else with their studying!

Fun times though always need a good break afterwhile.

I read somewhere here that it's good to LG, then watch the video if you're unclear and then redo it immediately. And then redo the same one 24 hours later. If I do that everyday (so a section each day plus redo the one from the day prior), will that be okay as far as LG is concerned? (LR and RC are on a different schedule).
I've been doing something similar - I do 7-10 games a day (still in the drilling/untimed phase right now) & then I do the ones that gave me the most trouble the next day. At the end of the week, I gather up all the troublesome ones and do them again (except timed this time). It's really been helping.

I leave my house for work at 8am so getting ready for work at 7-720ish Id have to wake up at like 4 and go to bed when I get home... I mean doable but that would take awhile to adapt... and I'd miss out on convos with all you lovely people and be all alone at 4amWorldsCollide wrote:How about before work? That's what I do.

... tho it is a tempting idea to try, Wake up at 3, workout till 4, study till 8 and head to work, get home at 5:45, eat, review/study for 1 hr and sleep... hmm lmao
eta: reread that and was just like...
I did.. but only because my job was 13hr rotating shifts. so some days I would work 6a-7p then the next wk was 6p-7a.. i spent way too much time adjusting my body for work than being able to study..
