Postpone the December test? Forum

[michelle09]

Hi, everyone! I am an international applicant ,and I need help in the decision of December test!
the most recent Pts: 164 (pt75, -10 LR, -9 RC,-0 LG); 164(pt 69, -9 LR, -11 RC,-0LG)
My goal is 168+, and I have been studying the test since August. I took October test and have cancelled it(I screwed up LG and RC)
I am a senior undergrad, and I was caught between schoolwork and exams.
I don't know whether I should postpone the test and apply for the next cycle? or I just take the exam and wait the result?
I have used up 2000-2015 pts, can you also give me some advice about the preparation for the test?

Thanks a lot for your advice

Don't take it unless you're scoring slightly above your goal, or, the bottomline, if your goal is 168, don't take it unless you constantly get 166-170 in every preptest.

That being said, I do find a few of the 60s PTs monstrous.

I'd postpone if you're still several points below your goal.

Thanks a lot for your advice. But since I have run out of all my new pts, I find it hard to be sure of where can I score. I redid some old pts,and I nearly scored 170+. When I found out my score of pt69 and pt 75(the brand new ones I set aside), I was frustrated and shocked.

I find the LG is learnable, but I don't know what to do for my LR and RC. 165 seems a platform for me.

Have you done The Trainer and/or Manhattan LR?

For me, I'd totally forget all the answers, and even if I do remember, I usually remember it wrong.
If you reuse the PTs, focus less on the score but more on review each question. Unless you redo a PT and get a 180, there's still something to learn.

I used Bible for LR,and haven't tried Manhattan LR or Trainer.

I think I did not do the review work well. Will you take notes of wrong ones?

The Bible is inferior. I would give Manhattan LR a shot. I loved it.

Yeah, I'd create a word document for each PT and write down everything
