Problem Solving scores are dragging everything down. This is specifically due to my slow arithmetic calculation. While arithmetic isn't hard at all, I fail at it when time constrains are applied. Need to work at it. I'm actually very high at Logic solving which is also a part of Problem Solving area.

While I have increased overall my overall percentile actually went 1%.
What this mean is that I haven't decreased my overall performance, I actually did, instead it means that about 1% have surpassed me in their performance improvement.
