SERIOUSLY. THIS HURTS SO MUCH. RC WAS MY STRONGEST/MOST CONSISTENT SECTION ON PTs
was it because of one passage?
I got the entire last passage wrong.

Damn that's tough. Hard to focus and improve on something when its just an out of the blue passage like that. I saw a lot of people talking about that passage after the test.

Yes you should retake and not go to Georgetown.
Best thing about Georgetown is the connections I already have there. But why do you say no to Georgetown?
your gpa is really good. you are suppose to be aiming for t6

Makes sense. I just have a hundred people telling me I could never get into a t6 so I think I've mentally crossed them out. Thanks for the advice though

Just got my score in California, though I took the test in Michigan. Got a 171. I am shooting for $$$ at Berkeley, or H or S. DO I RETAKE OR NOT? GPA is close to 4.0.

Grey and scoreless from the UAE

No one whose score was released so far got below 165. So I guess the score gets released in batches based on score range..... next batch is probably 150-164, then 135-149, and 120-134.

My score is not released yet.

So I guess better luck in October.

If you can bring that score up into the 170s you have a very good shot at all of the t6, including HYS. If you're dead set on Georgetown, I'd still retake for scholarship money though. I would do terrible, disgusting things for your GPA :p

That's not how it works. Two reasons no one has posted sub 165. TLS self selects for high scorers and most who didn't score highly bowed out without commenting.

The highest I've made on PT was a 174. Only other things I have going for me is that I'm triple majoring at a good university, and I have a few years of full-time work experience as a senior marketing associate. I'll probably retake, just worried I wont improve and then I'll just hate myself

Retake can't hurt. Hit that 174 on the real thing and you can take your pick of anywhere, likely including full rides in the lower 14.

HOW AM I STILL WAITING

Oskosh · Post by **Oskosh** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 8:15 pm

I got a 170!

TexasENG · Post by **TexasENG** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 8:16 pm

LR1 - 3
LG - 0
RC - 3
LR2 - 2

172. Pretty much right at my PT. Was hoping to do better, but I'm really happy with my score. Look forward to seeing everyone in the school threads. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

I enjoyed the Testmasters course I took, but to me that comes down to what you expect to get out of it. Did you really *get* everything they were teaching? If not, I'd look more into a private tutor if you want to pay more for help.

Otherwise, self study and drilling hard can be really helpful. What sections did you miss most of yours on?
