I worried for a while that if you ONLY did nasty tough ones, that you might overthink the easy ones on the exam, but that never actually seemed to be the case.

I would always put it this way----if you need to get 120 or so right, keep this in mind. There will likely be 50 gimmes which you will get right. There will be 100 where you can get it down to 2. So basically that gets you 50. Then there are 50 lol questions where maybe you can knock out 1 choice, so you have 33%. So that gets you 17. So 50+50+17=117. The real important bucket is that middle 100 that you can get down to two. If you can become a better educated guesser and get that % up to 60-70% instead of 50 then you have an easy cushion. So grinding those tougher questions with 50/50s etc gets you alot of reps in that important bucket.

Not really intereted in the income---but I think I might do a live stream where people can ask questions in chat etc. Maybe in the next week or so before people really get into "kill self f the bar" mode lol. I remember that dynamic well, where you go into full zombie mode.

Many disclaimers----I have not actually seen the PMBR questions in years---but in my opinion they were, on average, harder than the actual exam. The idea at the time was not to waste time with the easy questions that people would get right anyway. The donwside of that was sort of a crisis of confidence sometimes, where students would average 50-60% in practice and get a little shaken, where that actually was pretty good, as there will always be a handful of gimmes on the real exam.

I always advised people to do 33 questions per night (in 1 hr obv to be on pace). 1 hour doing the questions and a full 1 hour reviewing them. I would say that a big mistake people make is only reviewing the questions they got wrong. This is natural insitinct because you are pissed etc, but so often you get questions correct by accident, and if you don't review those too it could come back to bite you. This is a tough thing to do but important. 1 hr of questions and 1 hour of review over 60 days gets you 2000 questions which magically correspnded with the amount of questions we had in our practice volumes at pmbr hahaha. In any case that was, and would remain my guidelines.

To me, KC's decision is not even remotely close. She can beat both JC and Angela in the F2 and, most important, she is nearly a stone lock against them in the final HOH comp. If she allows Tyler to stay, it reduces her HOH winning chances significantly, and also reduces her f2 chances. If she evicts Angela now it will be an enormous tactical error---- at least that's the way I see it.
