is review for PT 66 and 67 still going down tomorrow night? Someone confirm

I'm still down for it. I'm PT'ing 67 in the A.M.

Alright let's do it.

What time? Earliest for me is 10PM CST, but it's unlikely I'll be able to make it anyway, so don't plan around me.

Idgaf. I'm finishing between 12-1 P.M. CST, and then I'll have an hour or two in the gym sometime that day, but that can be planned around. I'm in bed for 11 P.M. CST though (trying to get my sleep schedule ironed out for test day).

Maybe 9PM CST? I can hop on late (realistically I'll be here at the office past midnight tomorrow anyway, so it's a pretty moot point, but you never know)

I can do 9 P.M. CST. Any objections? Anybody?

Works for me.

I'm gonna be late to the chat tonight. I'll probably be there around 10:30 EST.

I'm not doing 67 until next weekend. I think it's best to save it to get a more accurate read of how my prep has been -- but I might be wrong.

I think it's a better idea to take it now so that you have 2 weeks to go over the areas in which you repeated mistakes. Mistake patterns are a very good indicator of where you need to focus, so it's better to re-take tests early and then focus on drilling the areas where you repeated mistakes.

I just finished an assignment game in 3:28 and another in 4:18. Why can't all games be so easy!?

I've been timing my games so that my alarm beeps at 4:00, 5:00, 6:00, 7:00, and 8:00. I finish most in 5, some in 6, and the rest in 7. I feel confident that if there's a game that really throws me for a loop, I'll still be able to finish the section on time. I'm not sure that I've ever finished one in 3:28 though that's pretty great.

You beast. My PR for a logic game was a 5 question Basic Linear Game that I completed in around 4:50.

I've been finding loose sequencing and strict sequencing games burning that fast lately too.

I hope we keep this skill on D-Day.

Granted, it was ridiculously easy and only a 5 question'er, but still.

Assignment games are always cake.

PT 56:

LG: -2
LR:-5
LR:-4
RC:-4

85/167

Personal best! I'm really happy but I am finally starting to get concerned about using tests more than once. Some questions I am remembering and some RC I'm not reading as closely as I probably should because I generally remember what's going on. Still, I'm hoping with drilling and PTing hopefully I'll get into a routine or have a system that won't fail me on test day.

At this point in the game, scores don't matter. It's identifying the patterns and knowing how to answer the questions. The score just helps reinforce that. Congrats on the PB though.

Holy crap, I just made a hugeeee LG breakthrough!

I did PT 22's LG section as a drill.

Finished it in 31 minutes, a first. And was only -1, a silly mistake off of a random mapping style game that hasn't appeared in ages!!!

So excited!

Ant just made a legit Facebook status: "2013 can't get here soon enough." It's going to be a good year.
