Hello!! In some of my recent PTs, I've noticed medium to high variance in the amount of answers I miss across sections... in my most recent PT for example, I missed 1 question on LR section 3 then somehow missed 9 on LR section 4. I'm wondering if anyone has ever experienced this and what the cause might be?

It could honestly just be chalked up to that a particular section was easier or harder, but I suppose I'm also wondering if fatigue could play a role, and if high variance in the number of questions missed across sections could suggest a particular direction in which I need to study more. Thank you!

    It could be a couple things! I think from my experience, it's from being chanced with a certain section with a heavier/lighter proportion of my weak spots. For example, if Causal Reasoning is one of my weak spots, then a section with several causal reasoning questions or maybe a handful of very challenging causal reasoning questions would result in a lower section score. But if a section happens to have one or two very easy causal reasoning questions, the likelihood I would do better increases!

    You can probably also attribute to fatigue as well as general section variance! But from what you are able to control directly, you can target your weak spots by looking at your analytics and drilling those question types. Sometimes it helps to narrow down the search from the past few PTs/section practices to see where the most relevant problem areas are!
