I can get almost all the questions correct on the SAT test without any time pressure but when I do it when the clock is ticking, I find myself unable to reason my way to the correct answer nowhere near as fast. As a result, I have to move on and skip 1/2 of the verbal and math questions because I don't have enough time. And I don't draw blank when under pressure so there must be something else going on.

I have tried to pretend that I'm an LLM and trained myself on hundreds of SAT questions on YouTUbe where people solve them. I've found that my reasoning speed under time pressure is a direct function of the amount data I've trained myself on.

Is there a quicker way to this or do people like me, with average IQ or Chat-GPT 3.5 if you will, have to train on thousands of math and verbal questions because we don't have the Chat-GPT4 like the gifted people where they ara able to be creative and don't need to rely only on past knowledge to solve novel problems?
