Practice exams under real conditions. I got Q49 on all practice exams after spending 3 months on TTP and couldn’t break 42 on the actual exam.

It felt like they were harder than the GMAC practice tests but also I was under a lot of stress and anxiety and think that may have contributed. And i realized I couldn’t do data sufficiency under pressure. Took the GRE instead, so much more doable.

I did the entire TTP in 21 days, 4h on weekdays 8h on weekends, now at a 49Q

TTP is awesome but you need more time than 3 weeks IMO to do the program. I would try to look at diagnostics/error logs if you can and hammer weaker areas.

If you don’t know where you’re weak, you can buy TTP, take the review exams and then do lessons/hard practice problems for those specific areas you are consistently getting questions wrong.

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm doing patent work. I applied to a part time masters program to try to pivot to a different technical field (still doing patent work, but in something that interests me more than what I’m doing now). Do I try to stick it out at the firm while getting the masters, ask for a reduced hours schedule, or get a part time, non-legal job so I can focus more on the program (one year).
