I got cured of that pretty quickly after my big outlier. Hit a 180 a week ago, and then followed it up with a 168 the next day. Back to hoping I stick at my average 172.

Suits should make you Harvard or bust, if anything.
Yea.. It's in my mind to But they annoy me with the all Harvard crap, like Stanford and Yale don't even exist.

Suits should really just leave you thinking anything, anything at all, other than Harvard.

How on earth did that happen X_X

Also buckiguy what that outlier means is that you were 100% capable of getting that score, that day. Which means if you practice even more you'll get an even higher ceiling.

tl;dr drill baby drill

Accidentally retook pt 46 and hit 179 on it today. Also did pt 66 with a 170 but had an atypical -4 on lg. Starting to feel like I'm getting the rhythm back that I lost.

Well, the 180 was still a -3, so wasn't quite as exciting, and then for the 168, it was a really bad confluence of events. -7 on LG on two games I just didn't really get, with a -4/-2 on LR. -0 on RC was the only bright spot. Ugly ugly ugly.

Really shook my confidence though, and got me right back on the horse.

I must say, waking up still drunk and taking PT 57 w/ the dino game is a great way to scare one's self a week before test day...yikes.

Pt 67 today

Rc -3
Lr1 -1
Lg -2
Lr2 -1

173. Both lr questions I got wrong I originally marked correctly and changed during extra time at the end unfortunately.

170 on pt 66 last night also.

Somehow I can never go -0 on lg it is very frustrating.

Almost always that's just sloppy work.
You have time. Eliminate every Wrong answer choice before moving on. Slow down.

PT 65 and its historically friendly curve netted me a 178. I am starting to think that studying is paying off!!

I did PT 64 yesterday. 177.

-1 LG
-2 LR1
-0 LR2 (woot, woot!)
-1 RC

I will take this as a grain of salt, because I enjoyed the RC passages, and didn't panic during the games.

I took PT 65 in chunks today (just to give myself timed sections). So far -3 LR1 and -3 LG. Questions on LR1 were difficult, and I made some silly mistakes (I missed no. 5 because I didn't properly set up the argument structure!). But I took something valuable from question #18 and #19, and 25. I got 19 correct, but because it was the second kind of the type of question I noticed on the test.

Since I am a URM, I would be satisfied high 160s, considering I got waitlisted @ Stanford w/ a mid-160 this year. Of course, I am really wanting a 170!!

What kinda URM are you, Oskosh? I'm PR myself. Props on that nasty score btw.

Thanks! I'm a Mexican-American male. Best of luck to you! Have to maintain my composure during the test!
