Talking about RCM 1 to 8 btw. I follow the syllabus and purchase latest practice tests. When I studied, my score was in the 90s. But my student so far remained within the 70-80 mark (though their score went up by three since the last one)

I taught them the exact way I was taught: logic, application, practice. In class they scored well on the homework and excerises. However, like any tests, it take a completely different format. I know it's done on purpose to test the student's critical thinking skills, but I don't know how to prepare them for tha aspect. Do I need different exercises? A different book? Any resources out there good for practice? Or is practice not the issue?

I'm halfway through the novel I purchased several weeks back, and I have to say, the writing is average. I picked it because the prologue and synopsis captivated me. But it went downhill from there.

Originally I wanted to get into the habit of reading novels regularly while also improving myself as a writer. But the only things I've learned is what NOT to do. Of course that's valuable as well. I don't want to drop the book halfway and start a pile of unfinished novels in my library. I also want to maximize this chance and squeeze out whatever I can learn from a medicore book. What's your experiences in these situations?
