I waited quite a while before reading this thread. Since I'm greedy and read those things I think will have value to me.
Here are some observations:
I think SDstudent now understands Margaret's post. Personally, I all the questions about medical questions as ways for you form positive goals. And yes SD, your language was negative and I can see the victim role that Margaret speaks of.
Maragaret always give great advice, but Alex and the others are right too. You need more than just PR to pass. You used to complete 70% of the exam; now you complete it all. PR is to thank for that. However, PR alone can't add skills, unless you use it at a learning tool for those skills (Verbal Reasoning) as others have suggested.
As for the self-esteem issue. I would use NLP. I'm not sure I should have suggested this, since you should probably deal with the Verbal Reasoning thing first.
Just some thoughts from a older fella. BTW, they are not meant to be harmful words.
Good Luck SD.
P.S. How many time can you take this exam?
