I took pretest 149 and got a 150. Days later, I did Preptest A and got a 158. Today I took PT 126 and got a 153. I struggled on RC more than my previous practices because two of the passages were HARD. I studied and learned concepts since my 150, but it's been a week. Where would that place me? Was my score on Preptest A a fluke, or could I get a 158

Ask yourself first why is your blind reviewing score ten points higher than your actual score. Why did you choose the first answer and why are you making a different response now. Also maybe learning the foundations and what you should do certain questions.
There's not a set amount of tests you should take. Try taking a PT once every 2 weeks can help
Same for me too. The score can be in the same score. band or close to being in the same band if that makes sense. For instance, someone who makes 147 on one exam could have easily made a 151 on the samr test. You know? So idk if I would worry about it too much tbh
Edit: Also a 5 point difference in score isnt that bad in general
Yes. I have anxiety over taking full tests too and the best way I can deal with it is by taking a full test. I tell myself by taking a full test I can measure my faults particularly about time or gain a better understanding of my abilities. Most importantly, I tell myself I have time. Idk when you plan on officially taking the exam but according your post it seems you also have time to fix the problems. So just breath and allow yourself the ability to do so.
Can I ask you what are the difference in scores between your older and newer tests?
Also try to be as confident as possible and try your best. That is really all we can do
Edit: I also took an old test and performed much better than a recent one. It sucks because it means I might have to work harder
@Rena12345 I know it's only 3 point difference but is my score on PT 126 representative of what I can get on the actual test or is it to not that recent
Was the LR section for this hard
