Is it normal to be stuck on the same percentage of solved puzzles in tactics trainer?

I have worked myself up to 1891 on the tactics trainer. It was interesting to note that for years, my solving rate has always been 57% with very slight fluctuations. Do other people notice this as well? Is it a sign I am a bad tactician because I seemingly can't get above that? Why do I even improve when my failure stays at 43%?

The more you do, the harder it was is to increase the percentages.

Say you've done 1000 puzzles and have solved 600 correctly. So you're at 60%. If you did 100 more puzzles and got all of them right, you would be up to 63.6 %

 

Same calculation but with 2000 puzzles and 1200 correct, which is still 60%. If you did 100 correct you would be at 61.9%

 

However, the likelihood is that you are going to get less than 100% correct, so the more puzzles you have completed, the harder it is to raise your percentage.

It is similar to the live chess games. Probably expect like 52% W/ 46% L/ 2%Draw since as you improve you play tougher people

I've been having a glitch where my solve percentage is at 228%, does anyone know how to fix this?

Was that fixed?  When? I don't see that on your stats page now.
