I noticed ACER has some of these for $19 available for purchase, worth it or not?  ???
ALSO, is it normal to have fluctuations in performance? Sometimes I do some UMAT style questions and do quite well, after which I feel elated  ;D then I do terribly on others (even of the same section) and feel flat  :-X I'm not completely screwed here am I?  :o

Always worth buying ACER questions IMO.

Fluctuations are probably most normal in Section 2, the other 2 sections usually show some level of consistency with the odd mark much above/below that.

Yes, that sounds about right. My section 2 is like a circular function these days I swear, but S1/S3 constructs are more similar. Also, in terms of section 1 loosely categorised are problem solving ones and logical reasoning ones, the less problem solving ones and the more logical conclusions the better!  :D I'm working on it..

Grab the ACER practice questions.

If you are fluctuating, then try and do more questions at each given sitting - do not do any more than 30 questions in any one sitting, it is a waste of time. Hopefully that will reduce your fluctuating scores, especially in S2 when each stem is worth possibly 1-5 marks, all you need is one bad stem in a drill and your performance for that drill plummets.

Also btw... Hi ;)
