If it's accuracy in general that's your problem, and not just adapting to a time environment, untimed drilling helps you concentrate on how to attack q's to get the fundys down first

Eta: fundys = fundamentals

Ahhh! That makes sense. Maybe I should do that.

Any reason not to drill PrepTest 67?

Umm your copy of 67 may be locked in a cabinet that's infested w mice and you don't want to deal w a mouse infestation.

That's one possible reason.

But id drill as much as you can without burning out and it's pretty easy to drill a section or two a day without feelin that pt fatigue

Grey can u also tell me where the inferences come from in inference Qs is it in the stimulus or hidden

Grey on LG if there are 4 spots and T must b before S can s be first?

OKAY I GET IT WE'RE JUST ASKING OBVIOUS STUFF. NOPE
not S __ __ not T

That's a badass diagram I never thot to diagram linear games _ _ _ _ like that

Edit: do you hate me grey

How'd your PT go today sfogs?

I did exceedingly well, and I just want to hug and kiss everyone in this thread, because I feel like your support is carrying me through these last PTs, so I can September with you all.

Two things:

1. Hoping anyone else who has also done 68 can offer their opinion on its difficult relative to other tests. I felt very insecure while taking it, and had circled a lot of questions for which I arrived at the answer by process of elimination.

2. I was originally only going to take a half day on Friday, the 26th, but now I think I should take time off next week week to do a final PT. Do you think I should take PT 71 on Thursday or Wednesday? Can we all share our "week of" study plans?

hey good job! Like I said, I found it to be overall fairly average, although I struggled a bit on the LG. There were some pretty hard parts on the RC too now that I think of it, someone else brought this up earlier (like, 25 pages ago or something), the passage on the invisible hand, weird questions.

I'm not going to take any PTs after this Sunday, b/c work till Thursday and relaxing on Friday. Just plan to keep on doing LG, one section a day.

I mean, I just usually ask myself "Does this absolutely NEED to be true?" The negation test sometimes confuses me, so asking myself if it 100% absolutely must be true usually works.

I actually don't use negation at all in LR... LR is my jam though. Usually the wrong, sufficient answer is a bit too extreme to be right. if the question says

"Bill wants to eat a slice of pizza. Pizza is delicious, and Bill will definitely have a slice this evening as a snack if there is one in his fridge. Therefore, Bill will eat pizza tonight. "
The argument will only follow if which one of the following is assumed

A)There is a slice of Pizza in Bill's fridge
B) Bill has an entire Pizza in his fridge

B is wrong because it is sufficient (enough pizza for Bill), but not necessary (he only needs the one slice). This is obviously an extremely simple example, but when the question is more complex, it can be easier to hide the wrong answer.

Took a break to watch some ratchet tv Thanks a lot sfoglia and smccgrey. This really kills me because I end up choosing the sufficient answer choice, the negation test confuses sometimes so I will try asking sfoglia approach.

The majority of NA questions rest on an important term shift. "Studies show that people who do yoga are happy. Therefore in order to increase ones level of success in life they should do yoga" the NA is that being happy does not decrease ones level of success. It's usually something along those lines

there are examples of NA questions that don't do that. The president of the university raising tuition was one of them. i think that one was NA, right?

Yea that's a good point. I was just saying for the majority but in retrospect she's focusing on the ones w an SA answr choice

Usually less, I drilled three sections of 62 on Saturday morning so I guess that was almost a full test.
