Congrats on your CTS success. I see you got your rating up to 1538, so the previous 1535 is not likely a fluke.
When the rating goes up, you are solving more difficult problems. It is natural to find that the rating goes back down again. It is nearly impossible in anything we do to find a monotonically increasing success curve. It is hardwork and perserverance that brings us through the times when we experience what feels like a setback.
thank you for the comment. with such a low RD on my weekend off wed/thr, i can tell you, it means i went off the deep end trying SO hard to touch 1540, then, of course, to get back to 1535, then 1530. im sure we have all been there! this white heat compulsion to get it back.
since i had been to 1535 several times in late spring, this was important to me--enough to allow a shoddy 85.4% session, 79.8% to start out, despite percentage being my main goal, and sacrifice it for a day or two...
ive been to 1535 this week, then down to 1519, then up to 1538. the rise from 1500 to 1535 happened in one day. so sweet.
i should have stopped at 1538 and rested!?
[what follows is a copy of my note at loomis blog:]
'dear loomis, these are most impressive results. and congratulations on your 1670. this is very notable.
BTW, i am using CT-Art 3.0 and while i am taking one of the many short term breaks from it i am want to utilize, plan to get back soon as soon as i am 22,000 @ 85.0% as planned all summer now.
samurai has done the same as me, or rather me the same as he, and that is go back and forth between these two. the synergy of both is far greater than one alone, as you know better than i, surely given you objectively demonstrated superior knowledge of or skill at chess.
i have made my best progress at CTS reducing perhaps excessive tries, and spreading 20% of my effort to CTA, according to the law of deminishing returns.

i hope that you do not mind a tiny bit of parallel content here:
"Pareto Principle
A principle, named after economist Vilfredo Pareto, that specifies an unequal relationship between inputs and outputs. The principle states that, for many phenomena, 20% of invested input is responsible for 80% of the results obtained. Put another way, 80% of consequences stem from 20% of the causes. Also referred to as the "Pareto rule" or the "80/20 rule".
Notes:
This principle serves as a general reminder that the relationship between inputs and outputs is not balanced. For instance, the efforts of 20% of a corporation's staff could drive 80% of the firm's profits. In terms of personal time management, 80% of your work-related output could come from only 20% of your time at work.
The Pareto Principle can be applied in a wide range of areas such as manufacturing, management and human resources. In Pareto's case, he used the rule to explain how 80% of property in Italy was owned by 20% of the country's population."
