Supplemental test sections

[yankeejp]

I have been studying for a few months now and was wondering if there is any way to access test sections individually on powerscore beyond the ones given. For example, I have done all of the reading comprehension ones available, but is it possible to access, say pt62 individually, as it is not listed in the supplemental test section like PT61 and others are.

Hi Yankee, when those aren't listed, it means we used them elsewhere, such as in the lesson or in homeworks

To avoid confusion—and the very real anger people have when they see questions elsewhere—we don't "duplicate" question usages. So if a question appears in Lesson 3, you won't then see it on a test.

Thanks!

Speaking of Supplemental Test Sections from the online tutoring portal, I notice these are all taken from past PTs. What is the benefit of doing these Supplemental Test Sections when I can just go into the full-length PT and do it there?
To clarify, I will soon start focusing my studying on doing full-length timed tests, and I would rather not have seen any of the questions in advance.
So just wondering what the purpose and/or benefit of the Supplemental Test Sections would be in my case? Should I just ignore them in my situation?

Thanks a lot!

It's actually about presenting content in different ways so you can choose what you prefer. There's a big segment of people who can't take the needed time for a full PT, so doing individual sections is for them a great solution.

That said, as a result of the licensing changes (btw, I just saw your kind note on that thread—thanks!) we've made a number of alterations, and you'll likely still see some additional movement as we now have more options available to us in terms of what we can present.

Thanks!
