If so, how did you overcome it? I feel like the most common answer when issues like this come up is "read more", and maybe I should just do that.
Just reading more is what I did... but people who pass the test *quickly* also review the grammar points for all the questions they miss in practice tests and make sure they understand what the correct answer is and why. That is what review questions and practice tests are for, after all - to identify your weak points so you can correct them.
Thanks Chris. I think that at some point I'll have to work 1-1 with a teacher on this. I sense some italki in my future. On my own I can't make the leap between how the points are presented in the text and how they're being tested. And there's too many mistakes for me just, say, post here and get help.
