I have been studying since June full time and have been doing pretty well. My highest PT which was only about 3 weeks ago was a 160 which is what I am aiming to get for the real thing. However I am now seeing a huge decline in my scores and I am getting -8 and -11 on sections that I typically get -5. I am getting really stressed and discouraged considering the October test is in 2 weeks. I am also registered for November so i just don't know what I'm doing wrong and what to do about it now. Also , is it bad that I am going to take october and november back to back? Should i change my october test date to november and then take november and january instead? im getting overwhelmed.

Hi, I was in the same boat as you last week and I took the weekend off and it really helped me calm my brain. I did have moments where I felt like I was wasting time or started getting nervous but it really did help take it slow for like two days. What I am ending up doing, just a suggestion though, is to take October and if it doesn't go as planned just take november! I tend to get in my own head a lot but then I look at how much I'm Pting ang and get confidence again! Good luck on your studying!!!!
Thank you! I took a few days off and did some more practice and just scored well again on a PT so I think it was mental and the pressure of the test coming up, my confidence is defiently back up again so hoping for the best for oct and if not theres alwyas nov!

Probably stop studying, I was testing around 160s and a little higher and on test day got a 161. Let your brain rest, if anything just make sure you got a plan for test day, eat the right things get good sleep. But probably stop cramming in more drills and tests. It won’t be so helpful at this point. After your test you can reassess your study plan if you want to score higher based on your results. You got this let the work you’ve don’t go into effect.
Thank you I will just take it slow until my test day

Thank you @ke02kier347 that makes me feel better.
You may be overstudying! My test prep prof at school said at a certain point you have to stop studying. Once you have reached a certain threshold you are ready and won't benefit from any more studying.
hi! I don't have any particular advice as I'm in a similar boat but I just wanted to say good luck!
