Inconsistency between sections

as the title says, there are wild inconsistencies between my sections and idk how to fix them. If i take a full timed pt, ill do ok on the first 2 sections (or even the first half of a section) but i'll bomb the rest. It all starts to feel like words on a page after this point. To put it in perspective, the ranges im talking about is from -6 to -16 in the same test.... (for both lr and rc). atp idk how to fix this my test is coming up in oct and i need to do something. like ill take 1 single section timed and get a -6-8 (ok for me) but ill take a pt and do ok on 1 or 2 sections but bomb the rest. also i should mention that im using accommodation timing and ive noticed that since starting accommodation timing my scores have dropped. plz help any advice is useful

    Have you tried tutoring? Even 2 or 3 sessions might help identify what's happening and allow you enough time to address it before the October test date.

    Also, although you have extra time because of an accommodation, that might also mean you need longer breaks between sections. With 50% more time, each section will be almost an hour (53 minutes). With 100% more time, each section is over an hour (70 minutes). With those lengths of time, you may need more than 1 or 10 minutes between sections to re-set your energy and ability to focus. Which might also explain why you're fine on the first two sections but struggling during the last two. It's probably too late to change things for your October test date, but if you need more accommodations rather than less, you may need to request them for the exam in Nov or Jan. Best of luck with whatever path you take!
