Eventually I went to my weak places and forced myself to confront them. So much easier to be able to get the higher grades on the exams where I was stronger, but that was not beneficial. Took some discipline to force myself to crack down on my weaker areas. I realized (DUH!) that this wasn't being graded for school. Wow, all those years certainly do condition us! But it was for my eyes only, and my own good to crack down on my weak areas, review the rationales and get em right!

So eventually I maxed out the unused questions, and had to keep repeating q's. I would work and work the "unused and incorrect" Then towards the end, I incorporated the correct questions again, since it'd been awhile and they were new at that point. Good to know I hadn' t forgotten what I'd learned from all those hours.
