lol that game is bit of an oddball. Not exactly an ordering nor a grouping game.

Its sorta similar to the hard game in PT 72. I literally missed 3 on it, but went perfect elsewhere.

I'm also timing myself at 30 minutes, so I may have been able to take it slower with 5 extra minutes, but still.

Still have LR-LG-LR sections left so I'm hopin I can show my stuff there. I would also like to go on record and say that PT 57 had the hardest LG section I've seen in a while. Thank god I finished the first two games quickly, because the 3rd game (stupid different colored dinosaur grouping game) took me SOOO long. And the last game had little no room for diagramming. I HAD TO DIAGRAM IN THE TOP MARGIN OF THE PAGE. Woe is me. Still finished in time though. So I'm happy about that at least.
the dinosaur game and the bus stop game are (supposedly) the two toughest LG games there is. The curve justifies it. Its fantastic to drill those games though. If you knock those games out, you shouldnt be phased on test day

I keep running out of enough time to double-check my answers because I instinctively double-check while answering. Does that make sense? I keep catching myself diagramming out every last answer even if I've already found the correct one.

What're the opinions on listening to music while studying ITT? Obviously not during times practice or during PT but while reading bibles, trainer, untimed practice, etc. is there any evidence that it helps or hurts to listen to music during a certain time?

Yea, something like if its okay to accept the answers that a supercomputer gives us even though we cannot solve them ourselves to check. I ran into while drilling so I have no idea what PT its from
yepp I did that like last week I think, wasnt talking about supercomputers but more computers in general but yeah, funny running into stuff in life that youve seen questions relating

eta: Last part of article... "Interestingly, it may not be necessary for humans to check it. As Gil Kalai of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, has noted, if another computer program using a different method comes up with the same result, then the proof is probably right." These people need to learn the LOLSAT :P
pt16.3.3 is the one talking about supercomputers. :D the author is making the point that anne is making in the stim lol.

I wouldn't do it. I've tried both. I found I retain more without listening to tunes. Plus, Rigo makes a good point - even when I tried white noise in the library, it's still not realistic.

Like, am I only quick because I've already done all these games so many times that I remember them all? Will my practice translate appropriately to the new games I'll be given in February? Is there some way to be sure my LG score is perfect that I'm missing?

unless there is some random game that you actually havent done.... no, dont think so... but I would just be confident that you're awesome and will kill the LG section no problem (along with all the other sections of course)

I totally disagree with Clark Kent here. Every time you do redo a game, your skills improve. It doesn't matter if the game is fresh or not. I had almost no fresh material between September and December, and my skill level improved enormously. Just keep doing what you're doing, sfogs, and trust that you are getting better. Honestly. You are.

The key to your problem with double-checking too often is to realize you are making an investment. You have chosen right probably 80+ percent of the time and you are sacrificing that last 20% in order to get to a few more problems. It may not lead to being perfect every single time, but on the whole you will be better off. Don't lose points trying to get a 180.
