I think the nerves of taking the official test vs taking a PT make a big difference in how you test. I've heard from many friends that their score decreased a lot between their PT average and flex and was worried that the same would happen to me.

The week of the August test, I woke up every morning and took a flex PT at the time and place I was planning on taking my flex test. By the time the flex came around, it felt just like another practice round. I ended up scoring the exact same as my PT average so I'm really happy with the results! I think it's about the habit and routine. It was a little hard towards the end because it was a lot of tests, but the results made it all worthwhile! Good luck for the October test!

When using the Flex simulator, how does the system decide which LR section to dismiss? And will the one remaining LR comprise of more of an equal spread of LR question types than that of the dismissed section?
