How to Narrow it Down

Hi! So I am having a bit of trouble. When I am taking timed practice, I constantly find myself between 2 answers (the answer I chose and the correct one). The correct answer is typicall my first choice and then I second guess myself and end up choosing the wrong answer. It has gotten so bad that in my blind reviews when I go back in and chose the answer I was in between I get a vast difference between my original score and my BR score (ex. -11 practice score and -3 Blind review score going back in and choosing my initial answer). How do I jump over this hurdle? How do I trust my instinct or make a decision between 2 very compelling answers or is this more of a mental block? Any and all feedback is welcomed.

    If the right answer is normally your initial answer, what makes you change it? Is it kinda going back and forth between two options and thinking "Well, maybe this one sounds a little more right"? I know that was the case for me -- I fixed it by setting a hard limit for myself: The only reason I could change my answer would be if I found evidence that the one I had initially selected was wrong. That really helped with my second-guessing! Hopefully this helps a little and good luck!!
