Steep Drop off in Score - What Next?

Hi y'all,

Got my Jan Flex score back and it's bad news. I went down to a 163 after having scored a 168 on the July 2020 Flex, and consistently PT'ing in the 170s prior to the January Test.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of drop before? I have literally never PT'd that low in my life, so I'm really struggling with how to approach studying for the upcoming test, as I want to retake to get in to the 170s. What strategies would you recommend going forward?

    Sorry that happened. This topic is near and dear to me—I underperformed on every actual test I took. Drops are not uncommon... in addition to the myriad of variables we bring to the test and the inherent difficulties of game day, sometimes you get just a bad hand—the test you get happens to play to your weaknesses instead of your strengths. Nothing to do but shake it off.

    Take a break. Try not to think about the test for at least a few days.

    Figure out what you can take from the experience. While these tests are unfortunately undisclosed, we can still learn from them. Take an honest introspective look at what you did, and lean toward the critical side as our memories tend to favor more positive recollections of ourselves. Write it out.

    Some prompts:
    How did you feel?
    Was self-care (rest, hydration, nutrition, stress...) a factor?
    Did you remember your strategies for question types and section attacks?
    Were you rushed? Why?
    How was your timing/skipping?
    Were you focused and controlled?
    Did you make sure you understood the stimulus and task before looking at the answers?
    What were you weak on going into the test and how did you address it?
    What can you do to improve?

    Then, when you're ready... jump back in. What I've found to be universal in performance training is that you need to train yourself to a level beyond what your ideal outcome would be. When the SHTF you will not rise to your peak level of performance, you will regress to your trained reaction. When someone tries to punch you in the face, do you freeze or do you react with a dodge/block/parry? When you read a hard stimulus, do you stare at it or keep reading into the answers hoping for a miracle, or do you stop and methodically parse the argument (or just get the hell out of there)? Try to train so that the optimal response is your reaction, that way when we run into trouble, our performance degrades to a still viable level.

    I've been using 22 Bet casino https://kasynoanalyzer.com/recenzje/22bet.com for my online gaming and it's a top-notch experience. Their website is user-friendly, making it easy to navigate through a wide variety of games, including my favorites - slots and live dealer games. Their long-standing presence in the industry since 2007 and legal licensing add to the trust factor. What I especially appreciate is the choice between playing for free or with real money, which is great for both new and seasoned players.

    In my humble opinion, casino is a dubious source of income, but I don't agree. If you take a look at casino you'll make sure that it is something that can help you stop doing the job you hate.If you want to quit your job and make a living from playing a casino it's your best https://slotoro.org/ph/ choice!
