162! YAY!

[uwofresh]

Slept real early yesterday, woke up at 8am today and took the test with clear head at 9:30am.  Totally fluked out on the RC section and ended up scoring 162.  I think there were 2-3 LR questions that I recognized but I took the full time to do them so I wouldn't bias my score by hurrying through those questions and gain more time to do others.  I know that I need to definetely improve on my RC section becasue for some reason it took me such a long time to analyze each passage that I only  managed to finish 2 full passages and glimpse through the third one.  I fluked out by getting all questions right on the two passages and getting some of my guesses on the other two, scoring 20/26.  But i'll take this mark and be satisfied for one day. Back to more studying tommorow.

Yeah I'm taking it in october.  I'm really aiming for 158-160.  If i can get that, i can get in to some of the canadian LS i really want.  I'm trying to remain realistic about my score, and study hard to attain the score I need.  I think I need to work on my stamina and just keep doing the RC passages so I can attain it.  Oh, and GET THE SLEEP I NEED BEFORE THE EXAM so i don't screw up like i did on the second diagnostic!

You should be able to hit that, no problem. Just keep up the practice and you're good to go. Good Luck.

Yeah I really really hope so.  I put in way too much time to do bad on the october exam.  Honestly I can't imagine me going through this on december.  From now on until october I'm going to study early and sleep early.  I can't afford to change my sleeping patterns and screw up on the real thing. 

BTW, are you writing it in oct as well?  If you are, GOOD LUCK~!!

No, unfortunately I will be waiting until December. I just started hitting the 150's and I need all the time I can get to bump that score up. I'm hoping to make it to the mid-160's. It's good that you're getting it out of the way, it's extremely stressful.

Thanks SJ! I just wished I could've pulled this kind of mark on my second diagnostic.  Crazy how 30min sleep got me 150 (7 misbubbles and other mindless errors) and 8hours of sufficient sleep gets me 162. 
Hope i score 158-160 on the real thing!
