@974 Just a note to anyone else reading this thread: Do not take PTs without a scantron

I hope that nobody inferred from my OP that anybody should do this. As @974 says, take every PT with a Scantron! This is what makes me feel most defeated, as I'd done ~20 PrepTests with no issues, and then on the real deal...there it is. I drilled with them, I PrepTested with them. So frustrating

@scottlovejoyjr947.janson35 Try this out next time/when you practice

Absolutely. I'm probably going again in December, so the next month or two will definitely involve this strategy.

@2543.hopkins if you can't be talked out of taking a PT this week

I guess I could be talked out of taking it. I took one yesterday. My last 4 scores average to the score that I want (and are all within one point of each other). I'm happy with the place I'm in, I just tend to worry that when I sit down I feel like I won't be up to speed after a 4-5 day break. Like the brain is stuck in molasses for a section of two.

I'll take a crack (warning: I'm using "!" to mean "not"):

As you says this flaw is:

A -> B

B

___________

A

What's the flaw in B?

If you have discovered something new (DSN), then you have examined all possibilities (EAP).

DSN->EAP

Fran has NEVER discovered something new (!DSN). Therefore Fran has never explored all possibilities (!EAP).

So the flaw here is:

A->B

!A

__________

!B

I think your issue may be with the "therefore" in answer B. As it's not saying !DSN->!EAP, it's saying:

!DSN

_______

!EAP

Does this follow for you? I admit that I'm possibly wrong, but that's the way I see it.

@2543.hopkins 65+ is typically the range when we talk about subtle differences

What do you mean by this exactly? Subtle differences as in 65-Present are a bit harder than, say, 50-64?
