Self-paced
It was not until I discovered the analytics binning tool where you can change the window of time in your testing/drilling data that I realized I was making actual progress.
For months I have been thinking my comprehension is getting worse. Until I narrowed the gap to the past two months. I have done about 2,000 questions in the course of 10 months (intermittently studying when I have time). That stat was heavily weighing on the percentages I have been anchoring my comprehension to. When in fact, over the past 2 months I have made a 23% comprehension increase in the past 400 questions compared to the past 8 months of questions (~1,600 questions).
All that to say, I am incredibly proud of my more regimented study path, and I am pleasantly surprised by this information. But also, I am not because the sense of this test and its nuance is becoming so much clearer with each day I drill.

what changed?
@VEGANJacques I stopped drilling the same question type continuously. I went back to the Core Curriculum for each of the weak areas I noticed and question tags. I used mixed drill tactics (to include adaptive drilling).
This made my mistakes more obvious from the start. The timeline from reading the stimulus to finding the answer tightened. The questions I am less sure about end up being a 50/50 split on harder LR and RC tagged questions.
Also, I do not give a shit about time haha. The clock might as well be in a completely different ballpark because I am at a bowling alley. Knocking down ACs that stand out immediately as incorrect. Zero pressure mindset. I love it.
@Gregmjr love it ! when do you take test?
@VEGANJacques I haven't registered for it again (I have taken it twice haha). I may just keep trucking along with my current approach and register later this year for a Nov26 or Jan/Feb27 sit.
