Thank you so much @tristanlocke1237 & @ormandysarah390 for taking the time and offering me advice. This was greatly appreciated. I will definitely start utilizing the analytics tool more, and go back the CC and drill the LR question types that make me struggle.

Regression... help

Hey Guys! I'm looking for advice.

Here's a little background: I began my studies in July (initial PT 143) and have been studying full time (9-4) since. My score has gone up to a 159 (BR 164) (I took this test about a week ago) but I took two PT's after that and scored a 151(BR 157) & 152 (BR 159). I have NO IDEA why I am regressing.

My LG score is now at a -1/-5 depending on if I can finish the game set BR -0. BUT I CAN NOT SEEM TO INCREASE MY LR or RC score ): I BR after LR, but somehow i'm stuck at -7/-8 per section (BR is sometimes the same score sometimes it's -2). And my RC fluctuates vastly as well, but normally I only get about 14 correct. ): At this point I have no idea what to do. I feel so defeated after studying for five months and not even being able to reach 160's yet. So what would you guys do in this position?

Hey! So this is the explanation I have in my notes! I hope this helps.

Stimulus:

M: People of our country look back on the past with nostalgia. Thus, demonstrating that they regret the recent revolution.

R: They are actually showing nostalgia for the distant past. So, although they are troubled they do not regret the revolution.

Agree. So before delving into the AC's what is one that you can say 100% for certain that these two agree on??

- Well, the country is showing nostalgia. (for what? Well, they both disagree on this, and this point is not needed here anyway.)

A. Do they agree that the county is trying to underrate past problems when the country faces hard times?? NO. For one, M does not say anything in consequence to troubling times. Just because a country had a recent revolution does not mean a country is facing troubling times.

B. Were solutions even mentioned??

C."Are likely to repeat former mistakes." Did either of these two individuals talk about Country X being likely to repeat ANY mistakes?? Probability was never mentioned in the stimulus.

D. "Concerned about the country's current situation and this is evidence by their nostalgia." So the first part of the sentence R would definitely agree with hence "although they are troubled" and M says "they regret the revolution" (although weak) shows to some extent that they are concerned with the situation. If you regret what happened it exemplifies the dissatisfaction IMO. Moving on to the second part of the AC, evidence by their nostalgia. Both M and R agree that the nation is nostalgic. So with this part of the sentence, we can easily infer they both agree.

E. What?? M never said anything about farthest in the past??? And R doesn't even say anything about this either. "FARTHEST PAST" NOO. R talks about the "DISTANT PAST" these are different.
