test fatigue sa ar ji ow

I don't even know if this is how the PRC actually constructs its questions, but I hope the RCs can make them closer to the real thing since that's the whole point of taking mock exams in the first place. The goal is to familiarize us with the actual PRC testing style, not with unnecessarily long pop culture analogies or fictional backstories.

I get that pop culture references can make psychological concepts easier to understand, but not every explanation needs to turn into a recap of The Hunger Games or Game of Thrones. A quick example is enough. Writing an entire paragraph connecting unrelated media to psychology starts to feel unnecessary and honestly distracts from the actual concept.

Skill issue? Maybe. But good test questions should be concise and aligned with the competency being assessed. Some questions and its majority of the stem is occupied by details that don't contribute to answering it. It buries a simple concept under an unnecessary amount of fictional exposition.

Hopefully this won't taken as something negative. I just want to let this out because it made me ??? after answering multiple tests in this RC and it's hard not to compare it to the past exams that may be long but it narrows straightly to the cases that actually happens in reality.
