Self-study
I have consistently gotten 6-9 questions wrong on my first attempt, but on Blind Review, I get 5-0, which is right where I would like to be! The blind review assures me that I can get to that sweet spot for my preferred score, but im having a hard time closing this gap!
I actively teach myself what I did wrong in my wrong-answer journal and review with intention. How can I close this gap? I'm I crazy for thinking that my BR score is actually possible??
Also wondering if i should hire a tutor to help me with this skill? recs or opinions??
Thanks #help

Hey there,
You're not at all crazy for thinking your BR score is possible! It's hard to diagnose specifically what would be best helpful for closing the gap without seeing your analytics, so you might want to consider a tutor! Having a second, objective perspective can be a massive help.
General tidbits I could say would include:
-WAJ: It's great that you're utilizing this! I think what can be incredibly beneficial is understanding what your thought process was and why you chose the answer you chose. When you think about how you can adjust your approach, be really specific. Is it re-reading the conclusion? Mapping out a causal chain? Substituting the number 2 whenever you see "many"?
-It can also be helpful to look at your timing/test-taking strategy. Did you have the right answer, then talk yourself out of it? Were you worried about time and didn't read carefully? Play around with different strategies (forcing yourself to stick to the first answer you choose, skipping, flagging, and coming back later to any questions where you don't see the answer after the first read-through of the ACs, etc).
I hope that helps, and happy studying!
