It could depend on the specific test that a section is coming from. A lot of individual sections come from earlier tests, and are less similar to the conditions that the modern test creates (aka: they are easier).

If this isn't the case, and you are doing individual sections from more recent tests, but still not performing like you wish you were, it is probably just a mental block that you need to cross.

Mental stamina is important- maybe it's a good idea to take a 15-minute tea break in between sections of your PT. This works for me, as it is crucial not to overwork the brain during prep, especially right before the tests. Don't be too concerned that this doesn't mirror your testing conditions; for test-day adrenaline is usually sufficient to keep you locked without these breaks.

The stimulus says that a monster is threatening if it's physically dangerous, OR if it inspires revulsion. This means either one is enough to satisfy the conditions to be threatening. E is simply talking about a special kind of monster that is not that is not physically dangerous, but still inspires revulsion. Since the psychological factors are irrelevant, you can re-frame answer choice E as "All monsters that are not physically dangerous BUT who inspire revulsion, are threatening". This is true.

Well said. I have fallen for that trap once or twice- seeing an insult of some sort and immediately choosing the answer containing something about ad hominem. Nice and easy distinction to make once you know about it!
