Hi, I've been stuck in a seeming rut. I can barely make it out of the 150s. I just scored a 160 (my highest) after taking a 2 week break after taking the August exam. I plan to retake the Nov exam, but I don't know how to make active progress. Its really frustrating because when I blind reviewed the 160, I got a 171, but that doesn't mean anything if I can't really apply it. I consistently score higher (like 5-10 points) when I blind review.

However, when I took another PT yesterday, my score went down back into the 150s.

Any tips on bridging the gap between my actual and blind review? Tips for improving accuracy?

Thanks!

I fear I messed up because thought body heat could be considered a "gaseous substance..." I fear this was just a fumble on my end lols...

Ok, hear me out. I was stuck in a very sick way btwn A and C.

Like I completely understood why A was the answer, and I came back to it and chose C because I was flipping btwn them and time ran out.

*My only beige(ish) flag for A was the fact that the stim didn't talk about types of damage, but I wasn't really too pressed about that ...

The reason I thought the sample could be unrepresentative is because the conclusion concluded that they're was NO causal connection between damage to HC#6 and AS. But for some reason, my brain went, well did you check on the people who had both? Bc they cited people with either or but not both. So I was like, what if the people who had both could have a causal relationship. So, the language of "no causal connection" felt like it was too strong when there could've been a possibility if they examined a sample with ppl damage to HC#6 and AS. Writing this out, this seems like a stretch, but in the moment I was so torn

... does this make sense or did I just violently deep this question for no rzn lols?
