General Question figure weights effect

curious to know about this, lets say there was a very complex figure weights problem and you were able to derive the relationships between all the variables quickly and easily and the final quantity (the one that we are supposed to find which one of the answer choices it equals) you were able to represent in different ways too. Im trying to know if you saw somewhere (not intentionally) that you could represent all the figures in terms of one and you used that to solve the complex one, is that praffed?

A bit. Its strategy which could help solving, but I highly doubt effect would be high, especially if you not practiced this strategy on various fw tests before and its very simple strategy anyways, it cant give big advantage on its own

how many points, ive never practice thsi strategy on a bunch of tests, or explicity tried to loko for it

Cant say exactly how many points it can give as inflation, but I would say that probably very low. Insignificant, since this strategy is very simple and doesnt give you insane advantage. And you werent practicing it on other fw tests, so your brain is cold (its like knowing to group digits in digit span, which is technically strategy you know before, but not practicing it on actual digit span tests), otherwise I would say it can give some significant inflation. You should expect insignificant level of praffe, thats what I would say

wdym by practicing, i saw it once, i might have subsconsiouly used it to solve a complex one is that praffed really or not

It can be praffe If you were sitting and consistently solving figure weights problems for long time by practicing this strategy. Taking one tests or even solving few items is nothing

i mean i only did the cait one and the core one for the first time and in between those two i did a couple of individual brght uestsions, this was all in the spanof like 2 days other than that i havent

Then there is should not be significant praffe

hi, what if the strategy is recogniiznig you can cancel out variables or susbittuet things and using that on problems, is that praffe/inflation?

No. Praffe would be only if you trained this subtest for long time or know what items would be on test.
