Timed Drilling? Forum

I've been drilling LR and have improved a lot. I am only getting a few wrong but untimed, obviously. Do I just start taking more PT? How do I transition from untimed nearly perfect LR to timed questions?

It depends. If your spending like 3 minutes per question, then getting it right doesn't mean much. you got to keep that accuracy while stringently timing yourself. Do a LR section and time yourself and see how you do.

You time yourself.

LR isn't one of the time restrictive sections. In LG you need to sacrifice thoroughness for time because you could theoretically spend forever working out the problem. In LR though, if you can get every question right 100% of the time you should have no problem doing it quickly. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast for LR.

I'm worried about that because originally, I could get through every question in LR but would get 1/3 of them wrong because I was moving too fast.
