EB and MH are completely rocking it these past couple weeks with kick ass numbers for studying and MH with the first TSM practice test looking phenomenal. The tide is changing in a good way for us, ladies!
Now for the practice tests...
I had a pretty sweet morning, finishing the practice test and getting a 70.5-74% (I was missing some answers so I gave myself a range). I've moved to doing 25 questions at a time and then reviewing them, all while making a few notes along the way. It's working nicely as it doesn't seem too daunting and I get gratification along the way. SIDE-NOTE: Think I'm going to make some paper/pencil flashcards of my missed questions now that I'm rocking out the practice test questions. This is also due to my computer being shady and potentially not having access to my full electronic flashcard repertoire.
Since I've been hitting the practice tests pretty hard, I've noticed some things about the questions.
First are the convoluted, infuriating ones. EB and I talked earlier about the ridiculous Ethics questions (Re-regrouping & Self-efficacy works will fill you in), and I have found some of the most re-freaking-diculous responses that I must share.

| Contradictory, mixed bag, unsettled...all great for test questions. |
It's somewhat entertaining, once you get past the rage. And, there are so many more prime examples of this that I had to stop taking pictures to save time.
Next, I found some funny ones, this was one of the best. I have seen another Star Wars reference in the practice tests too, and I can't help but think there is a 40-something year old mid-career guy out there having a little fun. :)
If I saw this come across on the real thing, I would have to exercise supreme self-control not to pick option D just to spite them. However, chances are I will not be able to spare the possibility for a "right" answer. More is the pity.
Okay, that's all for my practice test musings for tonight. Hope this brought a little smile and some relief to those permanently furrowed brows we're all developing.
Good studying!
Definitely smiling. Nice post. And nice scores in the 70s!! I am all for a turn in the tide... I did some horrific ethics flash cards earlier today (not sure what brand they are - some kind of hand-me-down materials from the past, it was all I had with me... The front of the cards were literally "Ethics Code 3.1" "Ethics Code 9.2 & 9.3" .... Uhhh, are you kidding?
