I keep getting the same scores on my practice tests (all around 165), but when I do Blind Review, I always get around 180 -- so I can see that when I go back through, I know and can understand the right answers. I know that I keep running out of time on the test, and when I look back, I see that I missed a lot of answers because I rushed and skipped important key details. Despite this, I'm still a little discouraged and confused! Does this difference mean I just actually don't understand the concepts, or am I just not quick enough? How can I work on my timing and actually get a score closer to my blind review score? Does anyone have any suggestions?
I keep getting these right (even though a minute over time) because I formulate an abstraction! It really helps - even with the flawed ones. Crazy that this really is about FORM
Is it safe to say that you can't draw a conditional conclusion from a causal relationship?
For these group 4 indicators, I find it easier to go with the flow of the sentence (left to right) to be my sufficient and necessary (left to right) - so I always pick the second idea to negate and be the necessary condition first and "leave" the first idea on the left as the sufficient
For example: No holiday falls within the month of august.
I pick "within the month of august" to be the idea to negate.
I leave "holiday" alone in a sense - keeping it as my sufficient.
So -
Holiday --> /within the month of August.
It is easier for me to start here then flip things around and mess up the flow of the original sentence. I don't know if this is right of helpful but just how my brain works!
@alk2001 Thank you!!
