The key here is your mapping the interactions between people. Social network analysis is a way of looking at all of the interactions one person has and then all of the interactions those people have and on and on. Social support analysis would be more like evaluating how a person receives support from their community/people the interact with.

Also im kicking myself because I thought I read unscored when I clicked on it and I haven't taken the scored yet 🙁

I kinda think of networks as reciprocal interactions whereas social support is a 1 way street (at least when looking from 1 individual's frame of reference). Relationships are more than a 1 way street, unless you're in a bad relationship.

On a side note, what did you think of/how'd you do on the CARS section? I thought it was significantly more difficult than some other practice exams I've taken...

yeah, a little more challenging, but still doable. I scored a 125 on the CARs scored and a 70% on the unscored (dont know what the conversion is). I felt it was harder because some of the passages were extremely boring which made me lose focus.

They were insanely boring, haha. There's usually 1 passage on every CARS section that seems super dense/philosophy heavy but to me, there were 3-ish that seemed that way.
