SOS - Oct. Test Day
Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2015 1:14 am
So I'm planning to sit on October 3rd but I'm still stuck at sub-par test scores.
Let's just say for sake of argument I cannot take it in December and October is the only option for me.
Also, let's say I have no life and can dedicated 80% of my time to studying until test day.
I've taken 4 tests so far and I've made slight improvements:
PT66 - 144 (Cold diagnostic, yikes!)
PT68 - 147
PT69 - 148
PT56 - 153
but then back down to
PT47 - 148
I'm in a bad place obviously but when I go and grade my tests I notice I miss stupid thing that I can always figure out without the time constraints.
I know that improving LG is the best way to heighten your score, but so far I can't really wrap my head around them and end up only getting the first acceptability question correct.
MY strategy is to take a test every day and score it, revise my thinking, and apply that towards the tests the next day but I'm too afraid I might be devoting all the energy in the wrong way. Then again I've only taken two in a row as a part of this "boot-camp" so maybe I'm being a bit annoyed at not seeing instant results?
that failing, what would you recommend I do in my situation? I'm looking for mid-high 160's (is that stretching it?)
