Re: Retake December and please critique my strategy
Just a few things to consider:
1. I would advise that you do drilling vs. reviewing entire PTs untimed. You want to isolate your weaknesses. For LR especially this is imperative. With that said I would encourage you to look at Cambridge for the LR drilling packets. Great stuff! I would also review the Manhattan LR guide if you haven't done so.
2. No need to go this hard with your studying. You may be setting yourself up for burn out. I find at most 5 days on (at 4hrs max)/2 days off appropriate. You want to study smart, not harder.
3. For LR its all practice. Apart from drilling problem sets religiously, I have been really through with my set up. Remember you want to use those initial minutes to properly set up with deductions. You never want to be setting up as you move forward with the games. Check out 7Sage. I also work through the problems from last to first. It allows me to see where I need to make that critical inference(s) that unlocks the answer to two or more questions.
4. RC is a crap shoot. Again, practice, practice, practice. After awhile you will predict the questions before your even done with the passage.
Sorry I can't give anymore nuggets. Make sure your PTing, with 5 sections, in the weeks leading up to your within your target score. I wish you the best!
