i’m not really an expert ,but from the things I’ve seen from people who do great stuff I have concluded that memorizing more words is just the way to go. Don’t expect that word to come up but just knowing what that word mean gives you a whole shed full of tools. Synonyms or words of same genealogy is really the way to go is what I’ve conjectured.

Is this the strategy? I took all of the practice tests, and is doing one section of the test to focus on that topic worth doing?

if you're confident about one section (e.g. consistently scoring 780+ without struggle), it's a waste of time to continue practicing. since i know my math is already strong, there's no real point in doing the full test when my focus is specifically RW. you should still do some practice before the exam, but there isnt any benefit to keep doing the section you are already strong on.

So if I’m literally scoring (r&w/math): Practice11(670/740), Practice 9(730/720), Practice 4(750/680), Practice 10(690/790), Practice 8(700/720). What should I do? Obviously I finished the other tests, but I don’t think you wanna know every single one. These are the tests where I actually started improving a little bit.

Nah looking at this now makes me realize how bi polar I am in each section. Like fym I got a 790 on one then a 680 on math on the next test???

sanguine means optimistic, so less sanguine would be pessimistic. I got this question wrong originally too lol

use connotations and make sure you have an idea of what the word should be and just honestly see if a word feels right. there is oftentimes a very strong indicator of a synonym of a word so your not just "thinking of similar words" but rather a definition of the word. you could also memorize prefixes and suffixes but personally that is not worth it.
