Thanks for this. I'm going to check out the centre today! Will check :)

I have studied full time 8 hours a day and you cannot do it for more than a month. You will definitely feel burnt out. 4 hours of Quality studying a day is a good amount.

@gregoryalexanderdevine723 @gregoryalexanderdevine723 Thank you for this, I'm still about 8-10 points away, I've been Pt'ing between 160-162 and BR'ing between 173-178. 170+ is the target. I'm inclined towards taking the December test since I've been studying for a while now, but having a hard time coming to a decision.

@ksneha2409921 Thankyou! I will definitely consider getting a tutor :) On a side note, do you think I should sit for December, I'm nowhere close to my target score but feel an incredible amount of pressure to sit for it since I've given so much to this test. Have you had experience with anyone in a similar situation?

@ksneha2409921 Thank you so much :smiley:

Congratulations!! I absolutely love your post. I BR'd a 177 yesterday for the first time and feel the same way. Still have a long way to go to make that my actual score but something is definitely working! And we just have to keep at it!!

And yes, its absolutely dance party time! Haha

I BR'd 177 yesterday and finally feel alive and motivated! Can't wait to make it a 180 and bring my actual score closer to that.

Haha! December or next year, I'm going to beat this test!!

@dgonzalez134150476 Thanks for this. For me at this point, it's become more of a confidence issue. Trying to work on it and keep at it!

@dgonzalez134150476 Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I agree with almost everything above and of course @ksneha2409921 's story always motivates me to keep at it. I think I know what I need to do. However, I'll keep at it until December 1st, I can take call then.

@btate87833 Thank you so much for your explanation!

@btate87833 It is the "Lower by more than 1000" in answer choice D that confused me.

Keeping your analogous example in mind-

for my bank account to have increased, my brothers account should have remained the same for my hypothesis to hold true. However, if it says cannot be lowered by more than 100, I can lower my brothers bank account by 99 and that would weaken my hypothesis. I get how that makes it a NA answer choice. But I want to make sure I am able to parse through such language in a different question type. Please let me know if you've come across similar questions, I just want to make sure i've understood the concept

Thanks in advance

I had the same thing happen to me on my last PT. I really think its a stamina issue for me though. With the test coming closer, my focus is really off. I was meaning to write a post about it too! I'm just taking today off and will see if this is some variety of a burn out issue.

I missed it :( Any chance anything was saved or recorded.

Was really looking forward to this!

With this question its extremely important to parse out the stimulus.

Display = On loan + Permanent collection

Store= All prints from permanent collection + some prints outside of the permanent collection ( Nighthawks)

A) No, some prints outside of the permanent collection does not mean On loan. It could be any artist, from any century as the display and the store are two separate things.

B) Again, all we know is the prints of the permanent collection are obviously from 20th century. But some of which which are not part of the PC could be absolutely anything.

C) YES. This essentially means, all permanent collection prints are available in the museum sure. This is the one thing we can be absolutely sure of since it says ' prints of all the latter works are available in the museum store'

D) I had picked this initially. Since, i assumed /PC= On loan. Which is wrong. Nighthawks is just an example of one of the prints available. This means nothing.

E) We don't know this. All we know that its not part of the the PC.

@ksneha2409921 Thank you for your prompt responses :) Good to know I'd mapped it out correctly!

@ksneha2409921 Thank you so much for this! I needed a break. Came back to it and it was completely clear. Sorry about the dumb question :sweat:

@ksneha2409921 Thanks for the explanation, I am still slightly unsure of this part of your explanation " Certainly, whilst inheriting the coal from 1990, coal was mined in 1991 too. But, if we have a lesser amount in 1991, that MUST mean that the coal we consumed in 1991 was more than the coal we mined in 1991."

How can we be so sure of this? Since we have a lesser amount of total leftover coal? Couldn't it be the amount left over was 10, coal mined was 60 and the coal consumed was 30. This would leave us with total left over coal as 40, which could still be less compared to 1990?

@ksneha2409921 Yes! Usually, I just mechanically try to compartmentalize each question stem. I guess one has to remain flexible!
