Have locked the thread. You've been warned to keep the thread on topic a number of times. As mentioned, if you want to discuss the Methods exam more specifically, go to the Methods exam thread.
Ensuring that our threads keep on topic are helpful to those who navigate the fora and who might be interested in the topic of "test-taking ability", perhaps expecting this thread to involve some advice about how to answer questions on exams. This thread has therefore been locked to help them avoid the mounting disappointment that it has instead descended into a discussion about the Methods exam being unreasonable, a discussion that is much better placed in the Methods thread, as suggested.
