I plan on doing all 4 of them as full PTs. Anybody want to coordinate test dates/review dates for these? It's early, but then again not that early.

I'm out of fresh PTs so these should serve some purpose in that sense.
I'm thinking about taking the India tests because I've done at least one section from every PT from 50-70, but I dunno... maybe it would just be better to redo the modern tests I've barely touched (so mid 50s and mid 60s).

Why not both? 3-4 extra PTs isn't much. India PT1 sometime this week?

India PT1 is just the June 2007 exam, so I'd do 2-4.

PT2 is North America's Feb. 2003 exam.

I am actually also trying to balance drills and PTs. Started drilling LG this morning and I was actually quite rusty.
i just feel like PTing isnt going to help me at this point. im comfortable with timing, stamina, lr/rc... i just need to kill lg. so for me, i think it would be vastly more effective to just concentrate on going through velocity and doing as many games as i can, with 2/week PTs to keep my lr/rc fresh.

...but yeah i did go -3 lr yesterday which scared the bejesus out of me so i might consider upping my PT sched to 3/week like i was doing pre-oct

You are like exactly where I was post-June.

Concentrate on LG til you are sure you can/will kill it.

But be careful with endurance. I think my -5 in my final section was a direct result of just losing endurance at the end.

Well that was your first PT in a month so I don't think you should overthink the -3. I think 3 PTs per week is a good balance though; I'm planning on doing 2 on weekends and one an a weeknight until test day. Rest is drilling/sections.

I think you could probably up it to 3/week and still have plenty of time for LG.

Dosto won't let Bee chill about her prep at all, haha. Good for you, Bee

You should turn it into a mixtape, played really fast, and in rap form.

I'd say it's better to do the barely done recent tests. I'm surprised you didn't get to all of them before, actually. I probably was too much of a PT whore in August; taking PTs every other day almost.

+1. Imho it's better to do at least once of the recent tests, esp the 60s.

Dosto, when I used it for 57, I felt that same initial panic set in, the way it did on test day. I definitely found it helpful, but it's also very easy for me to get into stress mode. Worth a shot, though.

Dosto, I've been using the 7sage proctor video before Oct and I got to use to it eventually and wouldn't be nervous anymore. Now i'm using the proctor app, and it allows me to set section length as 30 mins. Limited time def creates some anxiety.
