That test is seriously challenging. As one teacher years ago used to tell the class, "it's your halftime kick to the groin." It's meant to be the midway point of the nine exams people took in the class, about three weeks to a month before the real exam. It's when you really start to kick into overdrive.
For people cruising along, it's designed to get them amped up again. For people working hard and feeling okay it's meant to tell them that a good score is still possible when the exam is a monster.
Hopefully when you finish reviewing the answer explanations you'll pick up some test tricks and you'll realize that if you could have cut down on careless errors here and there, you would have gotten an amazing score. Keep pushing on!
Thanks. That's a bit reassuring. If it was designed to be brutal I don't feel quite as bad. Interesting how your company works that psychological angle.
