Happened to me!! In my case it was def burnout. When you drill a ton and then take a PT, you're inevitably going to be fatigued. It's why common advice is to ease up/avoid cramming in the days leading up to the actual test.

I realized that my mental fatigue was causing me to not apply the techniques I'd been practicing in my drills. I was tired, frustrated, wanted it to be over--so I (subconsciously) wasn't taking the time on each question that I should've been.

What helped was deciding when to take PTs in advance, and dedicating a study session to just that day's PT. So I'd do a quick warmup beforehand (maybe 5 LR questions, 1 RC passage), then take the PT. Afterward, I'd do blind review and consider how to improve based on the results. This gave me more consistent scores. Good luck!!

@ojessner Following up on what Dreph25 said: being a commercial grower isn’t necessary for the plants to be guaranteed disease-free. We know that most large nurseries sell primarily to commercial growers, AND that most large nurseries sell only guaranteed disease-free plants. Whether or not Johnson fails the “commercial grower” condition has no bearing on whether or not Wally’s Plants guarantees disease-free raspberries.

@shadeflare123 In other words: membership is sufficient to receive the coupon, but not necessary.

I 10000% cheated by deciding that “Members CAN receive a special discount coupon” doesn’t mean ONLY members can receive the coupon; since Pat received the coupon but failed the condition of only receiving the coupon at the Main Street location, then she must not be a member.

@daniel.c.osuji Almost a year later — this is the only explanation I’ve seen so far that makes sense!! Thank you!!
