Self-study
Hi, out of curiosity I'm wondering how the score equivalent for full tests is determined from sections. For example, I took LR sections from PT 122 and got -1 and -0 on the sections, with PrepTest equivalent scores of 172 and 174, respectively. Wondering why, based on numbers alone, my -0 section wouldn't be a 180 equivalent, for example. Same with why the -1 section wouldn't be higher. Is it because it's an older test with relatively less difficulty than more current ones? TYIA for any insight!
I think JY's explanation for this one really misses the mark and confused me more, but Kevin's explanation is great and cleared things up. We can't be expected to pick E because it's the most reasonable to assume that dampening intellectual appeal is a reason someone would change course. We have to pick E because it is the change that happens over time. It's the only way this question makes sense. I did slightly prefer JY's explanation of choice B though.
