Hello all,

I'm fairly new to the forums and I have just learned about the MM and BR.

I have recently applied the MM to a RC section (pre-test 29) and followed all the directions carefully (e.g. 3.5 minutes reading, 1.5 min memory, etc.). In addition, I've applied the BR after I've completed the RC section in order to gain further insights to errors I have made while using the MM. My results in the MM were low (12/27) and I didn't have a chance to tackle 10 questions due to timing. After the MM, I started to BR and my results only improved by one (13/27). I took my time, tried to justify my answer and reasoning behind it, etc.

I noticed that there wasn't much improvement. This the first time I have used these methods and was wondering if these results are normal after the first application? Am I approaching the questions wrong? Am I have trouble understanding the questions? Does time play a huge factor?

I'd also like to note that when I do RC untimed I usually get around 75-80% right. What do you folks think?

Feedback is much appreciated! :)
