How old are we talking? Before Preptest 35?
Deleted original post: Need to stop worrying about the test and move on with my life lol what's done is done
@. Apologies, I misread your comment
@. If you had two LR sections both were real
Wow I clearly remember that nocturnal deciduous forest one giving me some trouble and now I'm thinking I made a really stupid mistake because it seems so obvious now... sigh. Test day anxiety can really mess with your psyche even for routine questions and now I can't stop thinking about little things like that. Only three weeks to go...
Grocery bags... LOL
My test was in a big lecture hall with those little arm tables that give you zero space to work and force you to fold over the test booklet with the answer sheet underneath... Sounds like a minor gripe but it was really pissing me off having to flip back and forth especially on the reading comp and logic games where you have to refer back to the first page when answering the questions
Lol at game 1. I was thinking the same thing. 2 was definitely tougher and took longer so I left one blank that I was planning to go back to but didn't have the time... At least we might have a nice little 1-3 point curve
game 4 was not that hard but 3 was a time sink and threw me off so that it affected my performance in 4 (which probably would have been an easy game under different circumstances) :(
I bought the 180 watch but the damn ticking drives drives me crazy! (at least in a quiet room where I've been taking practice tests) and my dog already got a hold of it and chewed up the strap...sigh. I also don't like constantly looking at the clock / setting time limits for games and passages, etc. You never know how long a problem might take and constantly looking at the clock or eyeballing the 8:45 mark just makes me anxious. I'll probably just go with the good old fashioned internal clock with a wall clock as reference or an analog watch / the 180 watch out of view! If you take enough practice tests you will naturally get into a rhythm where fancy watches really aren't necessary, IMO.
