Hi!

I have less than a month before this big exam, and I have an idea of how I am going to get above a score of 40. The verbal section is my main concern and here is my plan:

Verbal reasoning section has 3 categories of passages: Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences.

I will complete 1 article in each of the categories each day for each subcategory. Today I will have only done a few of the sections, starting tomorrow I will accomplish ALL of the sections.

Humanities:
architecture, art,
literature: finish "Boyhood" by Leo Tolstoy; ~story of boy and family on at grandmother's home, facing difficulties with his teacher~
music, philosophy, popular culture, religion, and theater.

Social Sciences:
anthropology: Economist, start ups outside of america ; ~lady starts up a company that shows video of how to cook, lots of start ups occuring in urban center outside usa~
archaeology, economics, education, history, linguistics,
political science: Economist, tax reform for US; ~U.S. tax laws are very long, convoluted and lots of loopholes, one republican and one democrat are aiming to reducing loopholes and reforming tax laws~
 psychology, and sociology

Natural Sciences:
astronomy, botany, computer science, ecology, ethology, geology, meteorology, technology, and zoology

6/19

Hi!

I finished a full length verbal test today and the score was not too good, meaning I need to do more reading.

I also finished ch 3 of gen chem and I scored 78% which is OK... hoping to get that score up over 90% each time.

I feel really really behind my schedule so I really really need to catch up tomorrow and next week.

There is less than 2 months to the test and I am feeling extremely nervous now. Hopefully it gets better!

Hi!

Today's plan:

I'm currently 2 days behind my original schedule due to content review but I'll make up for it.
