Making the next leap Forum

Hi all,


I started with a baseline diagnostic score of 152. After about 2 weeks of studying intensely, I scored a 163 on my most recent full practice test. My goal is to end up with a 170 on the September exam, yet I feel as if I've peaked so to speak. I know I have plenty of time, but the trickiest questions still get me, and I feel like the jump from 152-163 is significantly easier than the jump from 163-170. I also feel like there's not much more for me to learn, as I've been studying an average of 5-7 hours a day and have been able to employ most of the strategies I've learned. If there are any specific pointers one could give on how to further increase my score, it would be greatly appreciated.

I think many people here know how you feel and while it never seems like it works quick enough or noticeably all I can say it repetition. That is if you've got the basics of course by reading powerscore or similar books. Also, I hope that after just 2 weeks you're not taking many TIMED PTs I know everyone wants to get timing down, I was bad for that too but honestly just giving yourself the time to think through without pressure and get the right answer will speed up your understanding of the material a lot quicker that taking back to back PTs each week. Just my thoughts. I was Pting consitently from 173-176 before June but bombed with a 166 due to personal reasons getting in my head ( AKA bad breakup)
