Hi, I was checking my stats and I find that I have better average accuracy in 1/1 bullet (74.8%) than 3/2 blitz (73.1%)

is this normal?

talking about this ; it comes to mind that during my student times my grade average was very high; but if I had exams and I would hesitate and double pass analyzing my answers , I would overthink it… so first answer / intuition was way better

note: bullet 2087 games, blitz 487 games, so the sample size is big enough imo

You have a lower rating in bullet, so you play against weaker opponents, who make slighly more obvious mistakes that you can punish. So it is completely natural that your accuracy is (slightly) higher there.
