Curious to hear from those who’ve scored 725+ — what do you think truly differentiates a 685 scorer from a 725+? Is it skill, temperament, strategy, or just the day’s luck?
From my experience, the difference between a 685 and a 725+ isn’t just skill — it’s composure and precision under pressure. At higher levels, everyone knows the content; what sets top scorers apart is consistency, time discipline, and calm decision-making when uncertainty hits. It’s more about mental control and strategic guessing than luck.
