In the past week, on 5 consecutive days, I scored a 167,163, 173, 171, 163. I ate the same breakfast, took it at the same(ish) time, wore the same clothes even. The 171 and 163 were consecutive PTs (early 70s), so it's not an issue of earlier vs later tests. It seems that one contributing factor at least tends to be the types of RC passages I get. If I get 2 law 2 sci passages, my grade suffers. It's extremely disheartening and at this point, I'm starting to feel like my grade is up to chance. Which is of course true to some degree, but I would like to get to a point in the next couple weeks where those chances fall within a 5 point range, not 10 points.

Anyone have any advice for how I can achieve greater consistency? Is this normal?
