I came down to C & E, picked C because it looked better, but still not sure why E is wrong. The conclusion in E says anyone ... occasionally ... so I thought it could be interpreted as some. Could someone please share their insight? :)
I think when you get it wrong during the BR, you don't 100% understand the stimuls/answers, therefore it is worth looking into the question and reviewing it thoroughly. If you were 100% confident, why switch? You know what I mean?
Popping up as BR does not mean you always got it wrong. It could be that you spent too much time on it, you initially picked a wrong answer and changed to a correct one, or something like that. I didn't like it either. I also changed the setting for some time so that I can see only the incorrect ones. But I don't think it was helpful so I came back to the original setting. It feels annoying and time consuming when you see so many BR suggestions, but as you get better, you will see fewer, and I think it's worth spending time thorougly reviewing the questions. Believe me, I was rushing through in the beginning without much progress, but as I spent more time and took reviewing seriously, I see a major point increase in PT.
When you got it right, but then got it wrong during the BR, review it to see why you switched the answer and why the wrong answer looked more tempting despite your "initial gut". Always try to justify your answer and see what you missed. As you study and practice, you will get better, and your BR will get better too! Let's go!
My score is lower than yours (164) lol but I guess I could share what I did? haha I also had a time when I felt stuck and burnt out like everybody else. I think it's normal. I work full-time with frequent business trips and I have two young boys, and my husband works on weekends. So I don't really have much time to study and I am usually exhausted by the time I sit in front of the computer at night lol There was a time when I just stopped studying for a full month because it was just too much.
Then, I started giving myself 30 mins a day, when I can do whatever I want for myself (drama, YouTube, mobile game, etc. you know) and not feel guilty about not using that time to work or study. I started not giving myself a hard time. Initially, I set up a light, doable goal (like one passage RC drill, 10-question LR drill) because then you can achieve your daily goal and feel good about yourself and enjoy that 30 minutes as a reward.
As I felt better, I increased the volume of study and pushed myself a little harder and harder each week. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, I reduced the daily goal. I am back to studying as I hope to gain a few more points (so jealous you have 169! hahaha) and I am dreading I have to do this again, but I'll do what I did before because it worked for me. I hope this works for you too!
