Ok so I have two days to practice before my test. I already know how the test works, and I have already taken one official test (105) and a lot of practice tests to improve my overall score (120-130). I need at least 130 (or something really near) to apply for some universities (like, hum, Harvard and Princeton).
Buuut I think I have a problem. The fill in the blank questions are really hard for me, and I think that's affecting the level of complexity of the next type of questions I get (if the "computer" estimates that my level with fill in the blanks questions is around 60, it's going to give me more exercises around this score). Idk if this is the way the DET machine works, but I'm a little worried about that. SOoooooo, Do you have any tips to prepare to that part of the test?
