I usually score in the 170s, then every once in a while I just seem to lose IQ but only in one section. In the last PT, I scored a 167 but with -0 -2 -0 in sections 2, 3, and 4. But I got a -8 in the first section which was a RC. Why does this happen? In the next one I got a -0 but it wasn't any easier I just hit a wall in the first one. Any advice? Some useful warm up or something that wouldn't drain me before I begin but would help this drop on the first section
Thanks

First section is also my worst section (it used to be the last??)! I think a quick but low pressure drill or going through some tough questions that you've already answered can help warm up your brain.
This is pretty common at the 170+ range. RC is usually the first section to expose a cold start, not a real drop in ability. If focus clicks a few minutes late, RC takes the hit, then everything normalizes.
A light warm-up helps. Read one dense paragraph beforehand and identify the author’s point and structure, or do a couple of un-timed RC questions. Keep it short and low effort. The goal is to switch your brain on, not drain it. Good luck!!! You got this!
