Has anyone experienced a very large score drop compared to normal PTs? I dropped about 12ish points, almost close to my diagnostic score from almost a year ago. I know for sure I did poorly walking out of the test room but I did not know it would be this bad.
Although I felt calm, my brain foggier than usual, room was rather cold, and i guessed on more questions than i usually do (I usually guess / leave to chance 1-2 per section, this time i left about 4 per section).
I don't know if it was because of finally testing in a room with other people, the cold, the exhausting week I had before, or whatever, though it is likely a combination of them all.
Before going into this, I was actually banking on better testing performance than my practices, which is how my SATs went.

Hey, my first official test was 11 points lower than what I was averaging at the time. I had scored 179 4 times in a row leading up to the test and then got a 168. I was totally crushed. I had no idea what went wrong either.
I took another official test the next month and scored a 178! Sometimes you just have an off day. I'd just take it again expect a better outcome.
@NicholasBrewer thanks for sharing, it is reassuring to hear. Fingers crossed for September :)
