Aussietechie! thanks for this. How did you do your research for the essay. Should I go to wikipedia? Where did you go? and then how were you able to relate your research to the prompts. I am stuck with the research and not sure what is essential and what isnt, if you know what I mean

aussietech,

Granted your score was high to begin with (2080). Is it really possible to bump up the score by in 10 days by 260 points? That too looks like you didn't study all day during those 10 days.

Just want to make sure you are not pulling any plugs!

Also what is the significance of wearing low brimmed cap?

I'm gonna try to do that marking the lines thing for the long passages, and answering each question when I get to that part in the passage. It does take longer, but I've gotten a lot better at CR and I finish with like 7 minutes left at the end of each section.

As for the tip that said do each section in 70% of the time, lol no.

Gum chewing can increase blood flow to the head and therefore the brain. Also, I listen to Mozart or Bach on the ride to the test center- it's supposed to temporarily increase spatial reasoning skills. Oranges and bananas are supposed to be the best snacks for during the break. Maybe I'm a bit superstitious :P
