I'm down for that. 8 pm CST sound good?

[wtrc]

Anytime from 8-930 ET works for me. Left my hard copy of the PT at work but I have it in PDF form and wrote down the #'s I got wrong.

PT 40

LR: -1
LG: -0
LR: -2
RC: -0

98 / 178

As a retaker, I feel like a big fat phony with all these high scores. I've definitely seen this RC section (at least) — probably about this time last year. I didn't keep track of everything I did that time around. Even so, I have no choice but to engage with the material and try to iron out all errors in my approach. I'm taking the scores with a huge grain of salt.

Also, that 3rd game was insane.

Congrats! Even seeing the RC before, getting -0 after a year is incredible. Same with the -1 and -2 in the LR's.

I'm trying to enter the review room for PT 50. It always fails during authentication. Anyone else having trouble?

EDIT: I'm in. Java update.

Sure they may not be accurate representations of where you're at, but given that you've done the test before - and an year ago at that (which is reasonably long) - these high scores are ones you should be getting so there's definitely a lot of good things to take away from this PT. Congrats!

Took pt 53 today: 173! Timed and with a bubble sheet
LR1 -4
LG -0
LR2 -2
RC -2

This is a personal best for me (by far), but I did see this pt back in October. I didn't review like I should while studying for the December test so I believe that's why I didn't remember much. Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come.

[Daily_Double]

I'll be in the room in five, getting set up.

Awesome review today guys. I gave a tip that I thought I might as well mention here because I think it is pretty helpful.

So you've done some drilling, maybe a few PTs, you've reviewed your mistakes and the ones you were unsure on, that's great, but you could do more. What I've started doing, honestly it happened by accident a while ago, I started doing this with games, but I added it to my post test review for LR as well, is answering questions which weren't even asked. Now I know that doesn't make any sense, but I'll give an example about the last question we covered:

PT 50, S4, Q22, Q Type FLAW

Stimulus: More people die when they do A than B. Therefore doing B is less dangerous than doing A

Flaw: What if there's a different number of people who do A than B

Going Further: (answering questions which weren't even asked)
N/A: The same number of people do A and B
S/A: If more people suffer a death when they do something, then that thing is the least safe thing you could do
Strengthen: Less people die from B than A in other places
Weaken: The data is unrepresentative

Conclusion: Doing B is less dangerous than doing A
Inference: B is not the most dangerous activity in this place

The list goes on and on, but you get the picture.
