Technical Other
The exam was pretty tough, and honestly, I found myself chuckling through most of it, maybe because I couldn't believe it. It included sections on numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, and other tough categories. I realized I really need to get better at math word problems; those questions need both clear understanding and logical thinking, and I had a bit of a struggle. Moving forward, I'll spend more time practicing them regularly, especially when timed. This will help me improve my problem-solving abilities and feel more confident for similar tests in the future. I'm committed to doing better next time.
