There is a severe lack of shitposting in this thread. These are rookie numbers.

I don't have time for shitposting. I drill 3 or 4 of the writing sections a day and after that I don't have any words left in me.

Minus my test day frustrations, I think I'm out of material.

PS-Anyone know if Duke takes the feb test into consideration? They weren't clear on their website.
Bump. I'd also be very interested to see if anyone has insight into Duke's policy on the Feb. test this year.

Again, if only I can do this on test day. I'm hoping the change in my RA will fix the issue I think is happening.

Really starting to question things when I perform like this at home but can't on test day.

Also, dafuq on the order for game 3 and 4... Usually would expect Game 3 to be last.
I study on the -1 floor at my university. Preferably beginning at 7 am. There are some offices and labs down there but early and late it's pretty quiet. It's not exactly analogous but you do need to be somewhere approximately similar to where you will be on testing day. Same reason they say not to read a book or watch TV in bed. See if that doesn't help.

I test in a room by myself. So at home with nobody there is pretty much simulating what I have for test day. It's the actual test day that gets to me, I haven't done standardized testing in over 12 years and something about actual test day gets to me.

I have somewhat of the opposite problem. I'm getting more and more stressed about not having enough time to do everything I want to before the 10th. I even had a dream (nightmare?) last night where I hadn't done anything and tried to do it all the night before the test, but somehow ended up drinking instead...

How did you nail Game 4 on this? I thought it was hard AF. Actually ended up going -6 on it and still nailing a 170 on this test somehow.

I was actually wondering the same thing. I had a god damn 178(would've been my PT high) going into this game and went -5(and only because I hit on one of my guesses). Even after watching the 30 minute(!) 7sage explanation I still don't know if I could get them all.

Ummm, Game 4 is a straight up sequencing. All I did was combine the rules and made my map/"World" for 7 sage terminology. I only had to do extra work for 16, 18, 21. Since it doesn't have any conditionals, what you could do is make a setup that show's what could be in each spot if you wanted, it does take time and after that game 3, I was low on time. Actually in some ways am glad that the order was reversed because I'm pretty sure if I had taken the time to do that I might have run out of time...
[+] Spoiler
Based on the map I knew that L/O were the only two that could be 8 and O could only be in 7/8.
There's no easy way to draw out a map on here in text or I would try and show you what I did.

Im not taking feb.. Holding off for June... I didnt study for about a month and change due to waiting for scores, moving, training for my new job and now working my ass off full-time. sucks june is so far away, but it is what it is. Wish there was a march test. That would be perfect for me. :? I really only kicked into high gear this week.

Damn looks like you seriously broke a plateau, experiment. Any clue what changed? I'm in the plateau you were in earlier.
