Maybe because of the fear of getting a low score (even though it's just a practice test), I find myself having anxiety even over drilling an LR section, especially when there are any early questions from between question 1 and 10 that throw me off or when I see the number of my flagged questions increase. Whenever I have these anxieties, I get stuck on a question and become too discouraged to move on, even when I know the time is ticking. Before, I used to flag the questions that I had trouble with and quickly move on, but after experiencing low scores from being too rushed, I'm becoming more hesitant and doubtful about the answer choice I'm selecting. For instance, on question 13 in an LR section, I found myself getting stuck again, until I realized I had only 14 minutes left. Then, it hit me that I had only 14 minutes left to do the remaining 12 questions (most likely harder questions), which left a huge load of anxiety crashing in. I paused the test right then, and came back to the section after I regained my composure and eased my anxiety. Thankfully, I finished the section just on time, but still, I can't help but think that I can't let this happen to me on test day.

How do I shake off the anxiety, and just quickly move on from questions, without hopefully sacrificing my accuracy?

I think I've been taking quite a lot of pts over the past months but my RC score is the same as the score I've started out with (-9 mostly on the old pts to -13 at my worst, which I get on hard recent RC), which is frustrating.

I do blind reviews and every time I get questions wrong, I make a mental note to myself not to get the same question types wrong again, but I end up getting wrong anyway on different passages. I feel like every time I blind review, I'm just gaining an understanding of that specific question in that specific passage, but not know how to effectively tackle new questions on passages I have never encountered.

Is there a way to improve RC?

PT 81 RC from the very first section completely threw me off, to the point where I just didn't want to move onto the other sections

I stopped at the last passage because of the not-so-good feeling about the entire rc section.

I know that if I don't continue the pt, it won't be reflective of the actual test condition, but at the same time, I just feel like I'm going to be devastated if I finish the pt and see the result..

Should I just keep drilling other rc passages before I return to PT 81 rc at some point, at other time?

I took PT 73 today and my score dropped immensely compared to my previous score, although I think my exposure to some of the questions on the previous pts (and also the previous pts I took were in the 30s and 40s) did inflate my past scores. Still, the score drop from the early 160s to 150s is really making me sick to my stomach. I keep making these excuses that I wasn't pting in a normal test environment (I took PT 73 in a really noisy cafe), but at the same time I feel like I'm going to do as bad as today, especially in the recent pts. I keep studying, drilling, blind-reviewing and reviewing all the mistakes I've made, but I feel like sometimes, I'm either not progressing or worse, regressing. I know I should keep studying, no matter what, since I don't have much time left before test day, which is a month away. But, I feel really discouraged and frustrated right now, to the point where instead of studying, I'm lingering around the discussion form.

As the exam day is approaching (which is one month away), I can't help but feel impatient, especially when I feel like my fundamentals are shaking, or when I feel like my intuition in approaching questions on LR isn't working well.

How do I keep myself from losing patience, without getting distracted from practicing, drilling and reviewing my mistakes?
