Ask the Test Maker

Hi all,

This is my first post here. I've been hovering at Q40 for a while now yet I really need to get to Q45.

I was hoping to get people's ideas, feedback, or any general advice on making that final push to the mid 40s Q level. I know I am capable of such a score, I just seem to have hit a barrier in the way I approach these problems to get to that next level. Thanks everyone!
