68 was a good 'un. You'll destroy it, schmells.

How did you guys determine the order...let me rephrase that... how did you guys come up with your PT schedules? Is there some method to it (i.e., am I total n00b for going in numerical order}?

68 was the best I ever had.

The exception being that as I got to have 2 weeks left I decided to start doing the most recent tests, just to be sure I saw all of the 70s before test day. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Ahhh, makes sense!

the simplest, dumbest, most obvious Q to ask on RC if you're down to 2 ACs or whatever: which answer is supported by the passage (and which does not have any support?) srs this Q has really saved me in some pickles n its really an easy Q

Doing this tomorrow. Did you get the list of them off of a specific site that I'd be able to find Googling? I found a list, but I'm not sure how dated it is. Are you able to list which PT's they are from?

thought the first three were easy. pretty fun comparative passage. then agian, the esoteric aspect of that mirrors shit was a little werid but i kinda knew what they were saying and what was going on. still kinda bodes well that if youre in lalaand its k cuz thats what they want? just stay solid i guess.

the last page there is an index of PT's where they are from. Think there is about 21 in here.

Instead of saying something like "which of the following most closely parallels" it is like "what must be true according to similar style reasoning" or something

idk. maybe I made it up

Haha, gracias! Nice score yourself

I missed a stupid q in the online gaming virtual property passage! My RC is pretty solid, but my LR can be kind of erratic. Gotta lock down the LG and pray that we get a fat curve on Saturday...

JW though, everyone has been saying that the patterns indicate that this test is going to be very generous. Is the pattern not pretty erratic? The people I've spoken too are fairly confident in a 13 or 14 curve because "most September tests are like that, less people are taking it, and June's was very generous and usually September's is the same, if not moreso."

love advice like this. keep them coming guys.... people say that "usually the strong answer is incorrect also." I know for sure to not rely on these types of things, but when all else fails, right?
