  9. "If you want to be truly beautiful, stop looking in the mirror and just work on following the Lord."
  10. But in Q&A, it's mostly tiny words that can be said super fast. So there, we need tons of phrases to compete.
  11. That's because we have briefs for large words that take a long time to say. So the reader often can't read fast enough to trouble us.
  12. Students that learn my theory are AUTOMATICALLY excellent at Literary because of so many briefs for even dense literaries.
  13. @TDeRosario So how important is it that a student pass one or two mock RPRs before taking it? Probably important - shows you can do it.

  19. Melody Among passed her last 225, which required 97%, and she got 97.4%! In 13.5 months she completed her speed!
