I believe the answer to the first question is no, but I have drilled to the point where some old PTs are totally done, just in a series of drills. Will that be calculated into my analytics/can I get a score? Or do I need to take the PT in PT mode for this to happen?

u literalllllyyy have to pay for it. so true. i laughed,
I would love to join! In the NYC area but would love to stay in touch
On question 1, I felt like E was just a bit too strong compared to B; E says that "digital publishing WILL transform the economics" when all the passage reallyyyyy stated (at most) was that it is LIKELY to change the economics of the business.
Throughout both the RC and LR curriculum, I feel like the emphasis on subtle changes of wording/strength are really emphasized, and I did not feel comfortable with E as a result. While the negative economic changes are a relatively small part of the passage, they are definitely present, and I would argue practically to the same extent as the point about creating competitive pressures to pay authors more.
I agree w/JY that the "social factor" aspect is not totally present, but to me it just felt like the change from "likely" to "will" was a bigger deal... did anyone else have this problem/could explain how they picked between these two A. choices??? This was the only Q I ended up missing on this entire RC section and I tend to have a lot of issues w MP qs in general; would love anyone's input.
I guess ultimately maybe my weighing was wrong --- referencing "social factors" when those are unidentifiable is perhaps a bigger deal than altering the strength of a statement.....
as a history & poli sci major i ate up the bit about the authoritarian regime
lol i had a question but then after i commented i figured it out and now i can't delete this comment
i struggled with this question a bit because of the word "imminent." If the cavity is in "imminent danger," doesn't that mean that it is still only potentially harmful? since imminent is technically "potentially harmful," ie. it hasn't happened yet, and yet this "imminent" condition merits the use of a "definitely harmful" procedure.
What is the issue here -- is it because imminent is stronger than potentially harmful???
@ Thank you so much for writing such a thoughtful comment; this is really helpful. You're right; I am just fooling myself. I need to remove the judgment factor regarding easier v more difficult qs and really just sit with these qs for a long time until they legitimately click.
& it's also a good pt that viewing them as minor mistakes is not helpful; I need to see them as big errors that require a great deal of attention.
This reframing is super helpful!! We'll see how it goes !
Wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I have noticed that I get a far greater proportion of 4/5 level difficulty questions right while missing a lot of 2/3 level qs. This is mostly for LR!!
Most of my PTs have been mid-high 170s. I always BR and take diligent notes about why I got something wrong and I think I may somehow just still be falling for traps?? Or alternatively drifting through questions I can tell are on the easier side rather than really focusing?
But I don't know how to stop. Would love any advice if someone else has dealt with a similar situation!!
Also lookign for one!
