One thing I have noticed is that I play a lot of mindgames, including the one mentioned in the title. Wonder what types of games everyone else plays? How about, "It can't be c, I just picked c like three times. But, it really seems like it's c."Ever played that? I do. The test materials people warned me not to play the "what if?" game with questions, but I do sometimes. Granted, it's all about learning how to take the test, so getting these games out and in the open is maybe part of the process.
An unintended bonus is that it is teaching me how to discriminate better in my study materials. I didn't realize this, but yesterday when I was going through my Ethics and L&B flashcards for a refresher, I found myself saying, "that is stupid, they never ask anything like that". When I first made the flashcards I didn't realize this, but now that I have taken a few tests I definitely process information and choose the how and what I try to encode differently. How do I know this strategy is working? I don't yet, but I'm hoping more practice tests will tell me. :) Good thing I have like a million thanks to my friends!
