Hello everyone, I need advice please.
So I completed the logical reasoning section in the curriculum and I seem to have a firm understanding of each question type what it's asking me for etc.
Issue about when I do the section Untimed I seem to do very well only missing four (This was just on one section) probobly should do another untimed.
But when I just did a time section, I missed a lot more. So endurance definitely seems to be an issue because once I get to the end of the section, it feels like my brain is mush. Timing seems to be an issue.
So I just need solutions. I want to figure out if it's the foundational principles that I'm missing or if it's just timing if it's just timing, does anyone have suggestions on how to work on that?
Does anyone have a suggestion to Figure out if it's the actual concept, I'm missing or if it's the timing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated .

Okay I am about to sound crazy... but my tactic to avoid burnout is every 5 questions, I look away from my test and close my eyes or look around and slowly count to 10. Ever since doing this, I have found myself avoid burnout and actually (surprisingly) move faster! Also, in terms of figuring out if it's the content or the timing, take an untimed full length PT over a few days. No fatigue or clock, just content. If you still make lots of mistakes, then you'll know it's content. If not, then it's timing and fatigue! All are easy things to fix! You've got this in the bag! I am rooting for you!
Thanks so much, man. I'm definitely gonna do that and try what you suggested.
I actually do the same thing. Halfway through the sections I close my eyes for a few seconds and just breath. I also put eye drops before I start a test. I know it sounds crazy, but my eyes are practically glued to the screen and they need some love too lol
I would agree that missing ~4 for a single untimed section shows a good solid foundational knowledge of every question type. However, depending on the nature of the questions you're missing, it could signal that there's still some improvement to be made. Do you notice that the questions you're missing are all beyond a specific difficulty threshold? If so, I'd recommend drilling only at and above that difficulty. As a result you'll get better at identifying correct answers choices when they're more nuanced. Also, this could remove a lot of the "brain fog" and fatigue that might be tripping you up on other questions, since the question-solving process will become more intuitive.
