Hi,
How do I stop my brain from going into a deep freeze the moment I see really really wordy (for me) question ? A prime example is the DS 141 question in OG 11.
By the time my brain thaws after I see a question like this, there is no time for me to actually solve the problem. Anything I can do either to unfreeze me brain faster or stop it from freezing at all?

Thanks.
Shilo

Shillo,

Think this type of INFLATED questions like a balloon fish. They are not that BIG as you think. And most of the cases they are easier than the short written ones. SO instead of thinking this as a OH MY GOD WHAT I AM GOING TO DO , just tell yourself...aha another GMAC trap and move forward, solve it and smile...CONFIRM YOUR CHOICE and click NEXT!

;-)

Hi Emrahercan,
Thanks . Will try that. Really need to psyche myself out of this irritating automatic behaviour of my brain. :(
