For reading comp, don't get lost in the subject matter because a lot of it is unclear and hard to understand. Focus first on finding anywhere the author states an opinion - this is the most important. Focus second on the structure, try to think about how each paragraph relates to the other paragraphs and to the main point. Is the second paragraph rebutting an argument from the first, is it providing evidence in support of the first, etc. Focus on this instead of what the actual evidence/subject matter is. If you don't understand something, just keep reading, constantly looking for opinions and thinking about structure, often times you will read something that doesn't make sense, but once you read on, it will become clearer. Don't get bogged down.

For me it's less about that one tough game than the fact that I know I could be a lot more consistent on the games section in general with more practice. I tended to be very consistent on the other sections in practice tests, but all over the place on the games. I'm pretty sure I did as badly on that section as I have on any practice section (I don't think I aced the other games either, and I didn't even bubble anything on the last one).

So I figure by concentrating mostly on the LG section between now and September, while practicing other sections here and there to keep them fresh, I can give it a much better effort. I also had some unfortunate circumstances come up over the past couple weeks which prevented me from getting near as much studying in as I wanted. Since I'm very confident I scored well below my potential given what I've consistently gotten on practice tests and the number of questions I

I'm 100% sure I did not get right, I don't see what advantage there is in keeping this score.

I would say in general if you only feel bad about that one game and you think you performed up to your potential on the rest of it, don't cancel because I would imagine the difficulty of that game will be reflected in the curve.

I'm cancelling. I had 2 LG sections, one which I nailed the other completely bombed (at least 5-7 wrong/unanswered). After talking to ppl after the test, I've realized the one I bombed was the real one.

I would say resist the temptation to try and stand out. I've heard admissions officers say the best essays are the ones that quietly show something about you that wouldn't be immediately clear from the rest of the application. Make sure you write clearly, just say what you want to say don't try to impress with fancy writing. Probably don't start by describing the weather and the way your heart was beating during some pivotal moment in your life. And you don't have to write about overcoming adversity, especially if you didn't really face much.
