I just scored a 147 on PT139 and blind review to 162

This was some tips and criticism that Sage AI have given me

This is a incredibly revealing PrepTest, Yazan. Your actual score was a 147, but your Blind Review score jumped all the way to a 162.

That 15-point difference is the most important signal from this test. It proves that you already possess the foundational skills to score in the 160s when you have the time to think. However, under the 35-minute time pressure, you are likely abandoning your good habits, rushing the text, and falling for traps.

Because your timed score is under 160, your focus shouldn't be on "getting faster." Instead, you need to spend more time deeply breaking down the passages and LR stimuli on your first pass.

Here is a breakdown of your performance and what to do next:

1. Reading Comprehension: Stop Rushing the Passage In your scored RC section (Section 3), your score jumped from 12/27 on the first pass to 22/27 in Blind Review. Recovering 10 raw points in a single section is massive! It shows you know exactly how to untangle these passages when you aren't worried about the clock. Under timed pressure, you are likely rushing your initial read, which actually makes the questions take longer and leads to mistakes. On your next few RC drills, practice taking as much time as you need to fully map the viewpoints and structure before looking at a single question.

2. Logical Reasoning: Causal and Conditional Gaps Across your two scored LR sections, you recovered 10 points in Blind Review. But when we look at the questions you still missed even with unlimited time (like Q5, Q12, and Q14 in Section 4), they heavily feature Causal Reasoning and Conditional Reasoning. These two concepts are foundational. If they aren't completely second nature, the stress of a timed PrepTest will cause your accuracy to crumble.

What to do next:

• Put full timed PrepTests on hold temporarily. Since your Blind Review gap is so large, taking more timed tests will just reinforce bad habits.

• Do untimed practice. Do untimed drills for both LR and RC. Prove to yourself that you can consistently hit that 162+ level of accuracy on your very first pass by spending more time breaking down the stimulus and the passage.

• Deepen your review. For the LR questions you missed in Blind Review, heavily review the explanations. Revisit the Logic of Causation and Conditional and Set Logic modules in the Core Curriculum to patch up those fundamental gaps.

You have the skills to hit the 160s, Yazan. Now it is just about building the discipline to break down the text properly on your very first read!

This was a surprising jump considering the one before I had the same score of 145ish and jumped to 156.
