The number you get in Tactics Trainer is not a rating, it's just a number. Based on it, the program determines what problems you will be given to solve next. It represents nothing else and of course, it has no correspondence to FIDE ratings.

Every tactics trainer as a "number" and If it was like that I wonder why they range between 1000-300 as normal rating 
I do know that is not "Real" rating but it is a near by value of your tactical strength at least in this specific exercices
I have some nice stats!

Tactics obviously play an important part of chess. The key to really "knowing" tactics is to recognize them in a situation where you are not told "White to play and won"--this is one reason there is the rating difference mentioned.
The other is knowing positions and patterns. If you are great at tactics but do not know how to play positionally and you play against an opponent who uses a closed position your game will suffer and you will lose points. Thus you have to try and get positions that highlight your strength (tactically or positionally) but you have to know and understand how to play all positions.

So how should one study how to get to that tactical sweet spot where there is a certain, though complex, powerful sequence? If it is through improving positional play, then how does one study positional play?
