Hey everyone,
I'm not typically the person who turns to forums for help, but I am falling apart here and have no idea what else to do. After more than 30 PTs, my scores are not consistent. They have ranged anywhere from 161-175. I hit the high160s on my first few tests, and I was taken aback, and I thought there was only one place my scores could go, and that was up. But even now, after all of these tests, I still feel like I roll the dice every time I sit down to take one.
I always know when my score is going to be good. I feel good, my head is clear, and I have a killer instinct for most questions, especially in logical reasoning. But when I'm off, I know it, and things fall apart quickly. I'm unfocused, get frustrated, and second guess my answers. Sometimes I even struggle finishing a section. I have done everything to try and replicate the former state of mind (exercise, nutrition, rest, etc.), but nothing seems to keep me performing consistently.
My last 10 tests, taken about one day apart, were, respectively: 171, 164, 170, 164, 169, 163, 164, 171, 168, 175.
It's been quite discouraging and frustrating constantly going from a high score to a lower score. I have been studying since January, and I wanted to sit for the June exam, but I just couldn't because I am so inconsistent. I moved my test date to July in hopes of remedying this issue.
Should I allow a few more days in between my PTs? Has anyone experienced this type of issue?
All suggestions are welcome! Thank you so much.
I really appreciate all of the responses!
I typically go -0 or -1 on LG, with the occasional -3. When I feel good, LR is one of my best sections. My typical range is -0 to -2. RC has always been a roll of the dice, and it often decides how high my score will be. I go anywhere from -1 to -6 on RC.
When my scores are in the 160s its definitely because my LR falls off the rails. When I mess up a section, its never a -4 or -5. I fall apart and find myself getting at least a -6 or greater. And its never any question type in particular.
When I'm in the 170s, my LG and LR are all fine. Depending on how my RC pans out, that decides how high my score goes.
My diagnostic was 152. I have completed the 7Sage CC, went through the Manhattan Books, and dabbled with the the Trainer for LR and RC. I have a pretty good strategy for each question type.
So should I not do any timed sections on days where I'm not testing? I blind review all of my tests, so should I just focus on untimed review and study my mistakes?
Again, thank you for all of these responses. I think I have been going too hard and that has caused a lot of stress and overthinking when I sit down to take a test.
