I have some thoughts about how to approach the new RICA design, and I share them in this video. Note that these thoughts are mine and mine only. I cannot label them as "suggestions," because I won't know if they are helpful to test takers until someone tells me one way or another. Anyway, please have a look at the video, if you'd like. Let me know how things go. Yours, Chris B. Please go here to see the video: https://youtu.be/TEkrg7fCcAg
