My score is on the decline. I have not been able to study as much since fall undergrad semester started, and my score just keeps going down every week. I do not have time to BR and re-do the CC due to undergrad classes / being a parent. If you had to choose between spending more time blind reviewing, or spending time reviewing the lessons.... which would you choose? I'm taking the December test.
P.S. My declining test scores,I have blind reviewed all but the last one:
August16th, PT 78...157
August 21st, PT 37... 152
August 28th, PT 38... 154
Sept 3rd, PT 55... 151
Sept 12th, PT 60.... 151
Sept 18th, PT 59.... 145 !!
Sept 25th, PT 58... 146 !!

Agree with @jhaldy10325 . Take the time to respond to each test. That means thorough BR and returning to curriculum and drilling weaknesses. This is where the real gains are made, so by focusing on what you do between PTs instead of on the PTs themselves, you will do much better. Taking fewer PTs is perfectly fine.
Sounds good to me <3 Also, I just saw your posted scores. I had a similar situation two months ago where I had a decline in my scores, literally they were going down. Turns out all I needed was a break from PT and focus on drilling. I just did LG drilling for a month with some LR. Came back, and I am scoring once again, if not a little better than before my scores started going down. :)
@jhaldy10325 OK Yea i really needed this. I have been trying to focus on staying with the study-schedule I had in mind....Doing one or two timed PT's per week. I like your technique- waiting until I can improve. I'm going to BR this last one, PT58, and go through the lessons that I need.
Hi @8096,
for me it depends on what I am having trouble with. For example if I notice I keep missing certain type of questions, then I would review the lessons. But I would definitely blind review it as well. I would suggest maybe not doing as many PT's. I only do PT's once I think I have worked on/drilled over a weakness and I am dying to see how I perform with that improvement on a practice test and see where else I am weak on. I think its about quality and understanding versus doing many questions. So if it takes you two weeks to go through a PT and maybe additional week reviewing a certain question type in curriculum then I think you should do that and not worry about being in a time crunch.
