I'm afraid this is going to come to with better knowledge and mastery of material. When you are dialed in and have control over this stuff, you don't have to talk yourself into the right answer. You eliminate the incorrect answers for concrete reasons, confirm the correct one and move forward. A lack of knowledge or reasoning that is suspect is the most likely culprit of you having to talk yourself into the correct answers.
Don't assume just because that was the case for that test that you should always necessarily trust your gut. Take more PTs, BR thoroughly, and then assess what the situation is. Honestly, even if it is the case that trusting your gut gets you a lot more correct answers, you should really pin down why you second guessed yourself. If you truly got the material down, then there shouldn't be such a huge gap between gut and second guessing. At best you would be picking something that you weren't 100% sure about (by just going with your gut) which isn't a good way to go about this test.
