You go to "sections," then you click on whichever section that you want to see, then select "detailed results." It shows all of the answers that you chose for the section as well as the difficulty and question type. This site has been wonderful.

Just did PT 50. It was new except for LG which I recognized as one of the complete sections from the powerscore workbook.

1RC
2LR
0LG

179

Feels good

I actually came close to running out of time on RC, only left myself 6:30 for the last passage; so I'm pretty shocked I only went -1 there. The one I missed was on the last passage though, so I guess that makes sense.

Holy traffic batman!

Just finished taking PT 29 on the bus.

LR1: -1
LR2: -1
LG: -1
RC: -2
Score: 177

This was the best I've ever done on a pt early in the morning in a disruptive environment (started at 6:40am). Woohoo.

I think I'm starting to experience burnout My last 2 PTs have been bad not in that the score was awful but that my RC (which had been pretty good) just tanked and then on one test my games were bad and on the other my LR was bad on top of the RC. I've been PTing like crazy and I'm thinking that it's just been too much, I still have tons of questions I can drill but I think I'm gonna give the PTs a rest until Sunday and drill instead. I had it scheduled to take 2 PTs Saturday and Sunday but I'm starting to think now that that may be a bad idea.

PT 30: 169
LG: -5
LR1: -4
RC: -6
LR2: -0

Even though I finished with close to five minutes left, LR2 probably should have been more like -4. (I had seen a few of the harder questions in Manhattan's LR guide.) And that -14 curve was very generous. So realistically speaking, I shouldn't have gotten much higher than a 164. Still, that's better than yesterday's 163. Progress is progress.

I really need to lock down my RC, though - anyone have any luck with the Manhattan RC guide? (Or know of any other ways to get that down to a consistent -3/-4?)

Can someone explain the wording of question #7 in PT 30's LG section to me? "Could be the first and second messages" is tripping me up...

ETA: Nevermind. Just figured it out.

Arbitrarily chosen RC passages from the cambridge bundle for this Sunday:

Natural Sciences
pg. 68 - PT7S3P3
pg. 66 - PT35S2P3
Pg. 38 - PT16S4P3
Pg. 36 - PT32S2P4
Pg. 16 - PT11S3P3
Pg. 14 - PT30S3P1

Law
Pg. 72 - PT3S3P3
Pg. 66 - PT33S2P4
Pg. 52 - PT2S1P4
Pg. 50 - PT26S4P4
Pg. 24 - PT32S2P1
Pg. 22 - PT12S3P3

Plan for Sunday at 11AM PST/2PM EST again. If anyone needs a different time speak up.

Is there a reason why these RC passages are all from very early PTs? More recent RC questions have definitely gotten trickier, so maybe we can throw in a couple of more recent ones?

I think Cambridge only goes up to 40 or so. I guess we could pick passages from random later tests though

Want to pick some from the 40-50s? I just think RC (in terms of the questions) has changed so much.

Let's do 51.5's full RC section too. It's the last week, might as well make it a bunch.

Cambridge also has RCs from PTs 41-60 in the same format as the earlier ones, just FYI...
