#9 E is also wrong because we don't know that the research was "designed to confirm the usefulness of stealing thunder," in fact, we're told that no research has yet to directly test it. So E is actually descriptively inaccurate. I think I stopped reading after that point.

I've absolutely been feeling this and I think it is just important to be kind to yourself and give yourself some grace. Like everyone else said, taking breaks is key. I've found myself really motivated to study during weird times when I wasn't planning on studying (like at night on a Saturday) and I've jumped on those opportunities and tried to focus then. Similarly, there are times when I know my brain is foggy and I'm just not "in" it so instead of sitting there trying to slog through for hours, I've gone for a run or said f-it and stopped for the day. I then do things I enjoy or prioritize random tasks and errands that I was planning on doing later in the week. Then, when the time comes later in the week, I literally have nothing else to do or even think about except to study. Hope this helps! Just know you're definitely not alone. I have definitely shed a few tears as I struggle through the same thing :)

That sounds like an awful experience but that's no excuse to make racist comments and low key disparage people who aren't scoring 170+....

The flex exams don't count toward your yearly limit FYI! So you have another 3 opportunities to take the exam

#help I'm really struggling with this question. Initially I chose AC D because my thought was that maybe the CEO, chief engineer, and other important people are necessary to ensure high production and if they were to be fired then production would decrease. Then, in BR I chose AC E because the stimulus talks about the ways in which the number of people who show up to work on a given day is a function of the production rate, not the number of people employed overall. And so I thought this AC was descriptively accurate. My thinking was maybe the total number of employees is important for morale because even though 10 are missing on an average day, having those 10 as backups or "subs" gives the workers at the plant a break. maybe they all miss the same days each year and rotate being absent and that absence maintains productivity by maintaining morale. I now get the reasoning behind B but that AC by no means was clear to me.

Dirty. This question did me dirty. Who knew at #8 this would happen?

Absolutely brutal.

I'm also wondering about being able to talk out loud and really be in conversation with yourself. It seems like we should be allowed to do so but maybe it would be viewed as giving us an unfair advantage?
