Hey! So I just finished a quant section on PrepSwift and did pretty well on the tickbox quizzes. I also reviewed the questions I got wrong. But when I moved on to practice problems from the 5lb book, I found myself struggling . Do you think it’s too early for me to start using the 5lb problems? Any tips on how I can improve?
Are you doing the right sections? Sometimes you may encounter material on 5lb that you have not covered on PrepSwift.
What sections
On 5lb.
Yeah, I hit that chapter, and there are practice problems. In this case, I’d go to inequalities and absolute values; there’ll be problems there.
OK. How well are you doing on the tickbox quizzes?
Yeah i do well like i do get some answers wrong like 4 or 5 max but i do review them and make sure that i wont repeat those mistakes.
Let me flag @gregmat here.
Where are you in the I’m Overwhelmed Plan?
I am currently in the second week of a two-month plan(Algebra)
Don’t worry about 5-lb for now. Just make sure you’re going through the I’m Overwhelmed Plan well
Okay, cool, but I’m using the two-month plan.
I would switch to the I’m Overwhelmed Plan for quant. Algebra starts at Module 4.
just wanted to check—do you think switching to the ‘I’m Overwhelmed Plan’ is necessary at this point? I’m wondering if I’ve been doing something wrong or missing something. Just trying to understand better."
You said you’re using PrepSwift. The I’m Overwhelmed Plan uses PrepSwift too but provides even more feedback
