I was excited that I'd scored a 170 on PTs a few weeks ago, but instead of going higher, my score has only dropped since. I am aiming for a 171-172. I'll take the test on the 10th.
LG is typically my strongest section, RC next strongest, and LR my weakest. RC can vary widely, from -1 to -4 or -5. LR used to be my strong suit (once I scored -2 out of both sections) but I have fallen backwards.
Does anyone have advice on how to get my score back again? Part of me thinks my issue is anxiety, but studying is definitely easier for me than trying to decrease my stress.
Thanks!
Wow, thank you everyone for the advice! @, thank you especially for breaking the scoring down for me. It's helpful to know that I'm scoring consistently. I still find myself thinking, that even if I am the person who scored 170 on a PT, it won't matter unless I am also the one who scored 170 (or higher lol) on the real thing.
To me, that sort of negative thinking is a red flag for stress. I think @ was right in saying that a break is needed. Thankfully, my (accommodated) test is tomorrow, the 13th, and I have been slowing down on prep since last weekend. Hopefully that is enough.
@, I'm sorry I didn't get to your post sooner! I hope that logic games went well for you on Saturday. If you think you may take the test again, I'd suggest the Power Score LG Bible. I am someone who needs a lot of structured practice, and the book provided more than I would've been able to invent for myself. It did a good job of getting me comfortable with each step (diagramming, deductions, understanding the answer choices) in order of difficulty, by offering drills for the different steps. Unfortunately, I didn't find 7Sage until very late in my test prep, so I don't have much experience with JY's LG prep. I found his LR prep extremely clear, if that might serve as any indicator of his work on LG.
