Hey all. I’ve been studying for this test since Feb 2017. It’s been nearly 15 months. I started at 142, and worked my way up to 167-171.

At first, my RC and LR were right where I wanted them to be: -2/-4 for RC and -6/-8 for LR. My LG were bad, so I brought them up to -0 consistently.

But now, for the last month, I’ve seen scores ranging from 160-164 with huge score hits in RC (-7/-10) and LR (-10/-12). I haven’t neglected them whilst improving the LG though! I look back at my weak areas and drill question types. But when I take the test, I go blank. The only thing that stays consistently -0 is games.

I even practice my PTs at my test center since it’s a public campus! I freak out. I panic. I run out of time. It doesn’t seem to click. I’m beginning to feel so nervous for Monday. I’m not sure what happened.

I have my last PT scheduled for tomorrow. I’m going to try to work backwards in LR because I need a new method and I tend to lose all my points in LR in bundles (#20-#25 wrong in a row)

I’m feeling so sad and confused. :( I worked so hard and came so far, to randomly be choking like this would crush me considering how much time I put into this thing.

Hey all! Congrats to everyone improving your scores!

I was wondering if you guys had some advice on dealing with crippling anxiety and stress that prevent me from reaching my potential?

In timed, stimulated exams I scored my recent high 166..but blind review...170.

In fact, with blind review I am not taking much time over 35 minutes. Sometimes, I finish under time.

When I take the test with stimulated conditions, it's as if I am frozen & forgot everything I've ever learned.

I get so worked up and nervous that I fall well below my average in regular practice drills.

Anyone have any advice?
