Struggling with LR
Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2012 3:57 pm
I can go anywhere from -7 to -13 on a section. Is my best bet to drill question types until my head falls off?

I would go over the Bible again, I bought the Bibles after I took Testmasters and found that I just missed things the first time. Also, don't drill just drill, when i took Testmasters i was drilling pretty much so I could tell myself that I answered the questions and did the work so that must be good enough...it wasn't. Take your time with them and do them in small groups and understand why you got them right and why you got them wrong (sounds obvious but I didn't figure this out until 2 days before the June test).LionelHutzJD wrote:I went over the bible before i started my testmasters course in july. I should probably go over the bible again right?
