I am curious if you have any advice re: test/performance stress and making sure that your attitude in studying and prep reflects on the real exam, too. I was hoping to do similarly and then sadly fell closer to the baseline on the real deal, and now am wondering if all the hard work was for nothing :(. Do you happen to have any recommendations; perhaps drilling under pressure, etc? Getting good at spotting trap answers under a time crunch?
Would greatly appreciate genuinely any advice!
Have been doing the same, to not get too excited on the off chance my experimental has been really bad and could've been the scored one! Following this
Would greatly appreciate a lesson like this that more broadly goes into the weeds of something like AC (A) vs (D) on #2 -- like an overarching conditional reasoning primer / the way you guys diagram in Kick It Up, etc!
Hi! I was wondering if 7sage was planning on adding, or if anyone knew other sources for, explanations for the older PTs that are suggested at the bottom, such as A, B, etc?
Further open to any thoughts and advice/suggestions for good study material for anyone else who has used the traditional PTs already (has everything at close to or at 0% fresh).
Thanks!
This is really great, especially for the q types that are most prominent on the exam, and for pre-exam refreshers!!
Would also be really awesome if you guys were to make one about falling for trap answers / times where it's best to let go of the exam's "conventions" and the AC is more outside of the box, if that makes sense!
Hi! Sending you luck and warmth here, friend, and do not panic. This happens to almost all of us for a number of different reasons.
For one, maybe you've taken these PTs in different conditions - tired, stressed, etc. It sucks how much these auxiliary things impact our performance but they really do! As another note, were they older vs. newer PTs? Were they featuring more or less questions of the types that you excel at vs. struggle with? What kinds of mistakes were common to the tests, what was different? This is just another learning experience for your prep, as opposed to proof you've mysteriously gotten worse - we've been there!
Also, usually when we focus on one thing at the "expense" of others (like doing more RC over LR; drilling one type consistently) there can be some fluctuations in other aspects, which as I've seen is also just all part of the process. It will all come together soon!
How are you guys going to be working on this/studying to account for this? I feel like I don't know what to do next/where to go from here, especially since we PT well.
