Honestly I relate to this so much. I took a prep test and my score dropped two points below my diagnostic, and I was feeling discouraged. So I took 2 weeks off of studying and then took another prep test and my score went up. With all that being said, you may just be experiencing burn out. I would try taking a week off and then taking another PT and maybe your score will go up, but definitely take the November test if your PT average has been great overall.

RC was also my worst section. However, my tutor taught me a strategy that made me go from a -14 RC average to -3. So basically when you are reading RC passages, break each sentence down one by one and ask yourself what the main point of each of the sentences is. For example, read the sentence, and then cover it up and try to recite what the sentence is about from memory. Over time you will find that you will start becoming better at retaining what you read, and in turn that will help you with the questions. I really hope this helps!
