This is the fallacy of the undistributed middle, so no definite link can be drawn.

PKN STAN: Suggested Study Strategy

1Build speed on percentages, ratios, and successive discounts, since many numerical TPA items reward setting up the right multiplier quickly.
2For TBI structure items, check subject-verb agreement, conditional and subjunctive forms, and inversion after fronted negatives.
3In syllogism and arrangement items, write the constraints down and test each option against all of them before choosing.
4Train for the 12-minute run and shuttle run alongside academic study, because fitness counts for 15% of the final ranking.
