Final push for Dec. What's a good schedule? Forum

I've gone through manhattan LR book (great by the way), logic games bible (went through once and then did most of the problems several times each again a few months later), the Trainer back in Feb, and a testmasters course I just finished up. I'm around 152 need to push it up to 160 or so. Have taken a total of 9 tests probably (didn't take all of the testmasters tests because they are recent, wanted to save them for last two months).

How many tests should I take per week starting Oct1 (tomorrow) until the test? Are the older tests even worth looking at? I have all the 10 actual books... which should I hammer down on?

3 tests per week w/ review? More? Less? Need to work on timing for LG, getting a lot better at those though. Thanks 7Sage.

By now I'm familiar with the test. Conditional logic, all the assumption family questions, inference, conclusion, flaw, parallel reasoning, etc. I think now is a good time for perfecting what I've learned and hopefully upping my damn score.

Thanks for tips.

Have you spent any time doing timed individual sections? Timing is a major issue for me so I am working solely on timed sections on all of the sections (focusing solely on LR right now) to get a better feel for the test as well as find my personal pace before doing test after test.

Yeah I usually finish right on time for each section when I am taking the test. I need to work on accuracy though since we're only given 35 min.

I took PT 10 today and got a 156 but I've heard the older tests are easier (?). Taking that score with a grain of salt. Should I be taking these older tests...anyone?

I have found older tests (PT 1-30) to be considerably easier that modern tests (PT 65+), but they are still worth using for practice.

That's what I figured. Thanks
