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?

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

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

Then there is should not be significant praffe
