Yes, I think possibly it could have been a factor, but my recent 4 sections are much more uniform, sometimes getting my best section at the end. I think I can conclusively say that this is 170+ evidence and I have the ability to get a 99th in October just have to execute everything I’ve worked on

@hellim Yes, I am trying to hide the clock and check it at Q13, Q19, Q22. I have to be better at moving on from a quesiton when I start spinning in circles

@AlyssaBuck I appreciate that perspective--it makes sense. I just hope I have enough time to round the curve for October

It means your missed points have more to do with execution and time pressure and less to do with misunderstanding the question/stimulus and errors in logic or reading comp. Its not better or worse, just means that you have to identify and work on why the test taking environment separates you from a point you get without the pressure. But I feel like these errors can be corrected quicker than foundational problems, but I am in the same boat right now.

😖 Frustrated

I'm moving backwards

I have an official 168 and am aiming for a 99th percentile in October.

For my 168 I didn't do anything right. No BR, no error log, no PT's. Since June, I've been doing everything right and now I am playing whack-a-mole with new issues that come up.

My diagnostic RC was a -2 (161). Now I am averaging -4.

My 168 was with standard timing. Since then I was diagnosed with ADHD and that gave me a good reason to retake. Now I have 150% timing and I'm suddenly running out of time.

I finally understand the type of evidence each question deserves, now I overthink things until I switch to a wrong answer choice from a correct answer choice. Over half my missed answers I had correct before switching away.

I am looking for someone to take a holistic view at my situation, including my error log (a document I made after BR explaining how I came to the wrong answer on timed, BR, or both) and 7Sage metrics, and in one session try to diagnose what is going on and how I can remedy it to have a shot at a score increase in October.

I am losing faith in myself and it seems every new strategy I try and every new concept I unravel just reveals a new problem that leads to the same outcome of never breaking 170.

No, I really don't agree with this question I am sorry. "Some form of consent" is not broad enough to include "people would consent." I've read John Locke, I know the social contract. I get it. But I think that it being necessary for "some form of consent" does not include "lawmakers think they would." This sent me into a tailspin to find the textual evidence for C knowing it wasn't clearly supported

This is a challenge im facing too. I second-guess and question myself on questions that aren't tricky, while finally having the skills to overcome more challenging questions. I had to get back to trusting my gut and getting through the first 10 questions by identifying the right answer without even reading the rest of the answers.

Wait, how can you throw out the rule that "not just for its value as an investment" when they clearly make reference to that in (B), "not sure that the vase will appreciate much in value." All this because you can conflate "desirable for its intrinsic qualities" with "value as an investment." I know its not the right answer either way but this is junk advice is it not?
