While I did fairly well on the P/S SB (88%), analyzing the 12 I got wrong revealed that 10 of them were literally "freebie" content questions. Nearly all of them are either:
A: Here is this hypothetical scenario. Which theory/concept best matches this. (I always end with 2 that sound both right and choose wrong one).
B: Here is this term/theory/concept. Which example best matches it? (Similar thing happens).
I don't have any problems with any of the hard experimental/reasoning questions and keep missing these content freebies/discretes. I studied only with the KA doc and never took a psych or soc class, so I can see how I only memorized the "textbook" definition of terms and am unable to apply it to real-life scenarios.
Did anyone face this seemingly paradoxical issue? What is best to do here? Re-study the KA doc?
