Keeping Missing Same Old Questions. Forum

[LitigatingLiar]

So I do my sections and tests. I do my reviews for the tests. I go over all the questions I missed and the ones that I was unsure or was hesitant on. I try to figure them out and if I eventually can't figure them out I'll go to forums such as Manhattan. Now, my issue is that I'll go back to the LR ones a few days later and I still struggle with the same questions. So i'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I feel as if I should be able to understand them better now and not forget the process. Am I doing something wrong or not doing something? What are you doing for wrong questions. Thanks

I found it helpful to first identify the question type. If you find you're consistently getting certain question types wrong, definitely do some isolated studying and focus on that question type in addition to practice sections/tests. And also, try to find trends in incorrect answer choices and classify them. That REALLY helped for me. Rather than just having some kind of abstract understanding of why an answer choice is wrong (which I think Manhattan forums provide in their explanations many times), it would really help for me to say "oh, this answer's outside the scope." or "this one's an opposite answer". Also, it helps to explain to yourself why the correct answer is right. You should go into the questions with the mentality that there is one absolutely correct answer. If you find yourself comparing two answer choices, you're most likely doing something wrong, and you should identify what your mistake is. Hope this helps

It might be best to make notes and suggestions that the answer explanations are giving as opposed to just memorizing them. That way you may revisit the notes and your mind will think back to that question to help distinguish what the correct answer is. In addition, generally when practicing questions from two different sources it may lead to different results at first, depending on the verbiage and how the writers phrase fact patterns and questions.

Overall, start off with fully reading answer explanations and then taking notes. See if this helps and leads to better results. If not, it could be testing anxiety, stress, or over-memorization and work load. Remember to read carefully and do your best.
