day 16

hello gamers, today i find out that repeatedly targeting a skill actually does something!??!?!

no seriously, for a while now i went down in inequalities cause i kept picking the wrong maximum or minimum number for the questions that ask for it. then i do 35 extra questions on inequalities just so i can push that algebra mastery past 90%, and i finally start to understand?? algebra mastery is at 90.1%, but that's still above 90...

i also realize that on the days that i don't focus on a particular area too much (where i do 70+ questions on one thing), i feel comfortable dealing with different types of questions and actually perform better (not just the one type that i've been trying to learn)

oh yes also i managed to break out of my 1440-1450 plateau (hopefully, but im pretty sure of it)!!

tl;dr

just keep on doing one thing at a time until you get it, i suggest doing it in small but meaningful numbers. you could do 70 questions on one task and still not get it, since you might be oversaturated by that one particular type of question.

do whatever you want, as long as you're moving forward.
