How are you all planning on spacing out your last PTs, esp. the more recent ones?

Looking at the ones I've done in the 70s - Still need to do 70, 76, 77, 78. 73 I've used for drilling/experimental. The other 4 - two 174s, two 172s. LG: -2.7, LR: -1.5, RC: -3. Hmm. Going to try to get the last 5 done as soon as I can, then drill tf out of all of them, totally understand the reasoning behind all of the questions, and be accustomed to any irregularities. Possibly do them all of over again. And prob do late 60s as PTs leading up to the test. Classes start at 11:30, so I figure if I start PTs at 8am during the week I should be alright.

I've still got tests 61-78 to take so there won't be much spacing. I think the week of the exam I'm only going to do three or four though.

I don't think I'll take that many, but I'm wondering whether I should even bother scoring PTs in the last week or two [I don't think that I will if like my PTs are where I want them at prior to taking them]

I've got a lot left as well. I'm not even gonna try to squeeze them all in since it's not gonna happen. I guess having some fresh material if I need to retake wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

PT 63 has one the easiest LG sets I've ever seen. Good lord.

Yeah.. 2 days a week I'm in school from 9 to 6 but it takes me about 1 1/2- 2 hours to get there and the same coming back. 2 other days i'm only there for 3 hours.

That was early in my studies, but I didn't think they were that easy. I think the problem with them is that games 2 and 3 [mainly 3] are deceptively easy. IIRC, game 2 becomes a lot easier with a specific inference [not all that hard to figure out]... and game 3 is deceptively open. I think that's the sort of struggle...

Eh - I dunno... I find that I tend to prefer kind of weird games... the stone and mulch game... love it.

Thanks, haha. Ever since I was a sophomore, I've liked to pack all of my classes into 2 days, 3 days at max and just be there all day instead of going 5 days a week. Since my commute is a pain. that's how I like to do it, but this semester I didn't have much of a choice so ya boi is going 4 days

you have been Pting the recent pts for a while now, so how you have many left?

If you have done 74, how did you find its lr?

I think 12. 13 but I had to use a part of 54 for experimental the other day. and I don't think I've seen some of the earlier ones - 51, 40 and 39. So I guess 15.
eta: just of the more recent ones - 66, 67, 69, 70, 76, 77, and 78. so seven.
I didn't find it too bad. There was one question I struggled with, circled, and got wrong, (still have to look at it) but that was the only one.

Yeah, I've done them before and it's difficult to gage difficulty on repeats. I get what you're saying - simple but open.

Yeah - I dunno. Those types of super open games used to throw me since I was so focused on having a ton of up front work or some killer inference.

Watching the 7sage videos on the PT 60 games, and, supposedly, the last game is considered super hard which is great...since I thought it was absurdly easy. Granted, I made the odd decision of making two distinct gameboards (different axis)... one was only used once in trying to derive inferences which apparently was huge. This test is really bizarre sometimes.

Yeah.
I took it with an iphone. Looking directly at the camera on selfies is a skill I haven't mastered. But facing the camera and all that.
