Any tips for not getting 'Tunnel Vision' ?

in General 65 karma

During the test I always get 'tunnel vision' and because of this I miss tiny but very important details. Do you guys have any tips to avoid this tendency?

    What sections do you tunnel vision on?

    I struggle with this a lot on LG.

    The way I combat this is to create a specific place in my proces where I will look at the whole picture to connect things. It will be usually 1) After I write each rule, I try to connect it with all previous rules and 2) After splitting the game boards, I will take a step back and see what's open and whats restricted.

    I used to also tunnel vision and try to brute force and answer every question in order, but I don't do that anymore because I chose to change the my process. I specifically use brute force as a last resort, after I finished every other question in the game. I also choose to use pre-existing game boards from other games before brute forcing as well.

    I think this is why theres a lot of recommendations on video tapping yourself doing PT's, you can objectively see how you progress through the test

    And the digital tests and problem sets on here will show how much time you spent on each question.
