Self-study
Hi everyone,
I recently took an untimed practice test to focus purely on accuracy and scored a 154, which was frustrating. I had assumed timing was my main issue, but this result suggests that there are other problems.
However, during Blind Review, I scored a 168. This made me realize that I tend to overthink questions and often get stuck between two answer choices, which leads me to pick the wrong one under normal conditions.
When I revisit the questions I missed during Blind Review, I’m usually able to solve them correctly, which makes the gap even more confusing.
I’d really appreciate insight on a few things:
What might be causing this gap between my untimed score and Blind Review score?
How can I avoid getting stuck between two answer choices?
What strategies can help me become more decisive and close this performance gap?
Thanks in advance!
Breaking down the stimulus:
It has been noted that attending a live musical performance is a richer experience than is listening to recorded music -> phenomenon presented
Some say that this is merely because we do not see the performers when we listen to recorded music -> some other ppls opinion about this
However, there must be some other reason -> Conclusion (says that "some says" is not enough)
why is it not enough? because there is the premise that there is relatively little difference between listening to someone read a story over the radio and listening to someone in the same room read a story.
Breaking down answer choice E:
It (Phenomenon) is
what the position that the columnist tries to undermine (some other ppls opnion)
is purported to explain.
