I like untimed. I can do that. Also would (hopefully) give me a better score than if timed, therefore bumping my confidence. WOOOO
Yeah - it's the way to go IMO. My last PT was a 174. I'm not going to risk some weird passage or game (which could always happen) funk my confidence in the days up to the test.

When is the last / most recent time they did a circular sequencing game / the table type games? I feel like these are the only games that semi consistently stump me. I'll make sure to do some over the next few days. The pattern and other weird ones don't bother me as much.

Could be worse, according to ATL, out of the 20 graduates at Indiana Tech Law, only 1 managed to pass the bar, and if he doesn't find a job they'll have an employment rate of 0%....

I think I am going to do the same as well..and Yes!! These games are a similar worry for me.. and I think its just because I am not as familiar with them

Amen to that. That was the difference between my actual score and the 174+ I was hoping for
is it really known as hard to score well on pt? from the june waiters thread 78 didn't appear to be too low-scoring. we have couple of people in this thread, like protein, who've done very well on it.

the curve is clearly very harsh.

Exact same thing happened to me on that PT. Don't let it screw with you too much.
how did you find the RC of 78?

yeah I have mine from last cycle that I'll probably reuse for schools I didn't apply to last time. I really liked that one too so I hate to write another one for the majority of the schools in applying to.

Just discovered the question bank feature on 7sage, used it to pick out the hardest MSS and NA questions to re-drill, and seriously regret not finding this earlier - drilling the hardest questions in succession shows the types of curveballs and wording that they use to trick you really clearly, and now I know exactly what to be aware of in them. Plus, most of these questions have really awkward phrasing, and after drilling a shit load of them, normal LR questions just read like children's books.

Probably gonna use this to warm up on test day.

I didn't think the other sections of that particular test were that difficult but the RC was definitely tough. Couple that with it also being my 5 section on test day and it wasn't a good combination.

It was hard for me, personally. I went -8 (4 of those in one passage) and I normally go -3/-4. Though it was my first RC passage in a while and I really think I just wasn't mentally in it the way I normally am.

Well, I missed 5, which is definitely on the high side for me. I found the tokens passage to be quite difficult. It threw me off for the last passage.
