I think I went like -5 in LG and RC on this test in september, missing 0 on Eileen and Viruses. An impressive feat, for sure. My biggest issue with this test was second guessing (and probably with all of my real takes, as opposed to my PTs), where I missed 4 questions by changing answers from the right to the wrong after going back through with extra time. Literally will probably be kicking myself for that for awhile because it kept me out of HYS and named scholarship territory. Alright, I'm done complaining, have a good day everyonelittlewing67 wrote:Retook PT 79. I never really reviewed it after we got our scores back last Sept. Just checked my score on 7sage without looking at how many wrong per section and scored a 170 - if only I had gotten that score the real test day . LR had a couple tricky questions. Viruses is still not hard for me. RC with Eileen Gray was still hard, but I think I better attacked the RC than the real test day. Ok time to BR.
Edit: Whoops I accidentally looked at the breakdown

When you wrote the Sept 2016 exam were you consistently getting lower scores on RC, or was this an outlier? If you did considerably improve on RC, are you willing to give some advice on how you did it? RC is my weak section right now and it would be amazing to receive a few pointers on what I could do to gain some consistency. Good luck with the review!littlewing67 wrote:Retook PT 79.

Thanks a lot - There are many people here who are crazily good at RC, but I feel like a lot of them started off with better scores than I did, so it's great to hear some advice from someone who didn't start super high! I have a few questions about what you noted:littlewing67 wrote:Lord knows I am not one to take advice from, that is usually why I typically don't give advice on this site lol But before last sept. I was averaging maybe ~8 wrong in RC. I never really drilled RC in my prep before, mostly LG and LR. I thought those two were the most learnable, because hey everyone knows how to read right? But I *think* my RC is improving this time around especially since I have been doing one day of drills then the next a PT. I do at least 3 sections and BR them. I have been finding that for RC small stupid details matter like the description of something and the author says the person uses a "simple style". I write it in the margin so I remember. I am a very HEAVY notator. I write a lot in the margins and circle/underline. And for the complex subject matter I write things in the margins so for example if it's like the "Mitochondria is the Powerhouse of the Cell" and then technical terminology about it I break it down more in the margin so I can remember and understand better.GnarMarBinx wrote:When you wrote the Sept 2016 exam were you consistently getting lower scores on RC, or was this an outlier?

But take my advice with a grain of salt, I am not as good as these other guys in this thread. Haha anyone else feel free to input on RC.
I THINK I should probably leave the library since it's approaching 10 hours and I kinda miss my bed just a lil bit.littlewing67 wrote:clueless801 thinks we're friends..........................................#awks go back to studying and stop scrolling TLSclueless801 wrote: Fun fact for everyone on this forum: Lilwing and I met when she sat in front of me for a polisci class and we've been friends ever since <3.
