When I am taking the prep tests, and even doing the drills, I can usually get the questions down to two choices. When doing the blind review, I simply choose the second choice if I get the question wrong. I am getting on average a 160 before the blind review and a 170 on average with the blind review. Because of this, if I get the question wrong, more than 75% of the time my second choice is the correct one. How can I change my habits and thought process to get myself to choose that correct answer the first time? Doing more drills and prep tests just gets me the same results so I feel stuck at trying to raise my score. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have been doing this since the dawn of time and i have been reviewing these questions substanially and learning to trust my initial judgment. Sometimes i pick the right answer and move on, come back at the end to check my work and on those questions where i've narrowed it down to two options like you have just described, I hesitate, feel insecure and end up erasing the right answer and picking the wrong one.
Use your intuition- do not overthink it and talk yourself into picking the wrong answer just because you are not confident
I have the same issue, I’m on average getting -11 which is horrendous but in blind review I’m getting about -3 just by picking the second AC I decided not to pick originally its so defeating
I recommend explaining to yourself why your answer is incorrect and why the other answer is correct. You don’t need to drill more questions or drastically change your study schedule. You need to review more deeply, and then rereview those questions later in the week.
I recommend toggling the “flag correct answers” under Blind Review settings. This will prevent you from simply selecting the other answer and will force you to defend your selection.
