June 2011 Study Plan in Full Swing-Need Advice
Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2011 3:35 am
I have appreciated the tremendous help I have received on here thus far. Here is my current situation and hopefully someone can help. I took the Kaplan course Oct.17-Dec.1. My score has risen signficantly from a 137 to a 152. I took 4 practice tests with Kaplan and have since taken 4 tests on my own. I was gearing to do the following for January:
-2 PTs a week w/ review of wrong/write answers. Question Type review untimed to shore up skills.
Question is: Should I focus solely now on building my accuracy in LR. My last 4 PTS I have gotten anywere from -7 on a good day to -15 on a horrible day, being today. After reviewing, I do see where I go wrong and how the correct answer does scream out. I do not want to continue doing timed after timed test if my LR acumen is still weak.
My endurance has naturally gotten a little better, but I do not want to waste time testing if my skills aren't sharpened.
Also, Logic Games are still my thorn. I have spent the last few weeks getting through the LGB and started the ATLAS book. I've gotten spooked on games (grouping/hybrids) where I cannot shore up the inferences fast enough and I end up bombing these sections at -13 and -10. Again, is timing the wise choice at this point. I feel like I am better to go untimed on all games in the LGB a few times and then start doing sections again.
Thanks.
