I have been studying since June and just completed a practice test with a score of 144. I'm so discouraged and feel like nothing is working. I'm feeling like the test has gotten the best of me. Any suggestions or anyone who has been through this? It seems like my accuracy has gone down with the more I've been studying

Hello, I also encountered this problem, so even though it's a bit late, I wanted to share a bit. Surely everyone is under a lot of pressure before an important competition, and that pressure will multiply many times over when they see their scores drop. The reason may be because you have forced yourself to study too much. You should allocate your training time reasonably and not do too much because it will be counterproductive. You must try to keep yourself in the most comfortable state of mind and always remember to have fun while doing the test. I understand it's very difficult, but try to find joy when you successfully solve a difficult problem, when you don't make any mistakes in one attempt. Try not to feel too pressured when you don't do well. Calmly review your mistake and remember it so you don't make it again. Gradually your score will stabilize. Don't worry too much, good luck!
