off to more LR today and an LG refresher just to give me a break

BRing my PT from yesterday... sooo many stupid mistakes -_-

You're making them now so you won't make the same ones on test day. I think its good to make mistakes now so then you can fix them.
Whenever I made stupid mistakes I always write down next to the question what my stupid mistake was so I can sort of keep track of the stupid mistakes and hopefully eliminate them. For example, in LR I would forget I'm looking for the answer to an "Except" question about 50% of the time each one of those came up, but I noted it and after realizing it was a mistake I commonly made I came up with a way to never make the mistake again.

What do you do for RC drilling? Just take out some sections/passages timed?

Yerp

yeah Ill find an answer that looks right and then loosen my outlook on the rest thinking eh I figured it out and BR and see an AC and hate myself for kinda skimming/overlooking it

holy fuck since when did the absence of "stupid mistakes" imply "going zero on PTs"? If you miss questions NOW, don't say it was due to a "stupid mistake." No. Questions missed NOW are a result of incomplete mastery. I'm missing a total of 2-4 on the last 10 PTs and no, they aren't a result of "stupid mistakes." It's because I haven't mastered certain concepts, or I misunderstood the question stem, or I rushed. Those aren't "stupid mistakes." They are imperfection on my part; lack of mastery.

Probably just drilling RC today.


Question to current/former Blueprint students!
Have you guys done the last book that focuses on timing/more practice? When I was in the class, I opted not to do it since I knew I was going to postpone to Feb. I forgot I had it and just saw it today lol.

so, what are you going to do in order to stop making that mistake?

I did the same exact thing. I haven't done the homework in it yet, but I did the lesson parts in the classes and IIRC they were more difficult questions. So, if you have time I would definitely do those or review them if you already did them. The homework just looks like it is full timed sections. So doing them can't hurt. Or maybe you can use them as a 5th section to your PTs?

Yeah. I'm probably going to go through that book on my days in between PT's!

I've overloaded on RC the past 3 days, so I'll just spend today with some games and some level 3 LR.
