I’ve done a few prep tests, and my actual score usually ranges from 150 to 160. My blind review score, though, is around 170. When I do timed drills, especially for four-star and five-star questions, I usually get only a few right or most of them wrong. But during blind review, I get almost all of them right, or sometimes just one wrong.
At this point, I know my issue isn’t comprehension. It’s timing.
If I focus on finishing within the time limit, I make dumb mistakes. But if I focus on accuracy, I often spend too much time on certain questions. Sometimes it’s because I’m unsure about an answer that’s actually correct, and other times I just can’t finish all the questions.
Do you have any strategies? I understand that comprehension is the key to improving speed, and I’ve been working on that for months. I see improvement only in blind review or with the easier one- and two-star ones and no major improvement in how quickly I can get through the harder questions during timed sections.
This might be a silly question, but I chose (E) because when I read the question stem saying to choose the answer "most strongly suggested by the information in the passage," I thought that meant anything suggested, even by critics, so that’s why I picked (E). Just to clarify, does “most strongly supported by the information in the passage” question stem only refer to the author’s ideas?
