PT 34 review. Albeit older test, I thought this was just as challenging as the PT 60's. But damn, I got a 165!

LR1: 18/25 (Had a hard time figuring out what the stimulus was saying, wasted some time rereading)
RC: 21/26 (I consider this really good....)
LR2: 21/26 (Still some trouble getting in the "zone". I missed 4 in a span of 6 questions 12-17 range....but finally got in the zone and got 18-26 all right under time crunch)
LG: 21/24 (First 3 games were easy, then the last one gave me trouble)
81/101 Score 165

@nlee10, your my least favorite person right now, you said PT66 would be a good confidence booster but the LR was soooo hard I nearly cried during the test

PT66
RC -4
LR1 -3
LG -3
LR2 -5
Raw 86
Scaled 167

PT66 LR was just too much for me, it's filled with NA, Flaw and Sufficient Assumption questions none of which I am good at, that -8 combined LR score is the result of luck and POE.

I've been drilling RC the past couple of days and plan to continue drilling everyday until Dec 6, hopefully I can get my RC down to -1 or -2 by test day.

I'm still weak in a few LG games types so I plan to work on LG everyday until test day as well. This is my second 167 hopefully I can break 170 in the next week or so

haha I'm sorry...but I did well in those Q-types you listed lol.
ETA: But you can break 170! I'm hoping to improve on RC as well, still too inconsistent! Hoping for -4 to -6 by test day.

Unsolicited answer: I did warmup. When I didn't, I found that I was too stiff and it took me too long to get in my zone. On test day, I did 1 RC passage, 1 LG game, and like 5 LR questions. It doesn't take much and it shouldn't wear you out. Just enough to get your brain to start up.

Didn't experience the runs like Hand.

Hillz solidifies herself as my favorite Yalie.
Thank you! Yeah I def need to do a bit of warmup.

Listening to "Waves" and dancing around my kitchen right now in your honor, Rigo.

I walked my dog on the day of the test, too. Maybe that's the secret??

I want to post how much I love you both, but before I continue my face is filled with tears at the moment. I cry nearly everyday because I seek meaning in life. I am a dreamer and a beliver of anything, and I belive everything is possible. Things amaze me and I cry because of the meaning behind them not because I am an emotional person.
*films plastic bag being blown around by the wind*
*slow claps*... that was beautiful Rigo. Now I'm in tears because you're in tears, and because I too am now a believer. Thanks for making me believe

Rigo needs to let Jesus take the wheel.
