Thank you! This is a great perspective and I will give it a try!

I decided to push my test. I am taking an untimed practice test this weekend and working on solving the questions. Then once I feel more confident I'm going to take another practice exam.

Do you feel that helps you? If you can, do you mind attaching a copy of the way you're doing it so I can gauge how I should do it?

I chose the correct answer for this reason:

Political Admin--> Economic success, Int Lib success = SUCCESSFUL

the stimulus said the political administration had ENVIRONMENTAL success and success with Int. Lib, so in order for it to be a complete success as the stimulus noted, it must have economic success as well.

Is that a good way to determine the right answer?

How can I follow this method in a certain time frame?? Or am i supposed to practice it so many times that my mind just gets accustomed to doing it??

Do you have a template of a wrong answer journal I could use? How do you structure yours?

for question 5, can i also say:

translation: medical research brought to peer review---->peer review occurs

contrapositive:medical research NOT brought to peer review----->peer review doesnt occur

or is that incorrect?

I know that MSS questions work in a way where we cant "think outside of the box" meaning the answer is directly FROM the stimulus and you don't use any external thinking.

Is it right to eliminate A and B first because both of those don't refer to people who ARE taking the drug, but instead an "outside" perspective of the stimulus?

Because C D and E all talk about patients who are ALREADY taking the drug, meaning it is relevant to the stimulus and the answer has to be between those three.

is this ^^ a good way to work out the process of elimination?

Yeah I just tried that, and it did not go as well for me. I feel like theres some questions where I genuinely have to look back in the passage. The passage feels so dull I don't know what's going wrong. I summarize the paragraphs with a low-resolution summary...but even then I am not doing well.

I took my first PT AND DID HORRIBLE. Very discouraging but I'm trying to blind review now.

Question: How long into using 7sage/ following the methods do you begin to see improvement? I only started 7sage on Monday. Perhaps I need to get more familiar to see improvement? What do you think/suggest

I plan on taking my first PT this Friday. I've been studying about 3 weeks (2 weeks LR, 1 RC) and I want to see how it goes. I take my exam in August and am hoping that I reach the score I need...
