The progress that you’ve made so far is incredible! I wouldn’t stress out too much about 1 test. There are so many variables that can go into a single test score: environment (as you mentioned), alertness, maybe the section that you struggle on the most was unusually hard this time, etc. Maybe the 170 was unusually high, or the 164 unusually low, who knows? IMO, the best way to find out where you’re really at is to take the average of 5 or so recent test scores, if you’re taking them frequently.

Keep grinding and don’t psych yourself out. If you get the 170 in July, then great! If you need to take it again in the fall to get the score you want, then that’s fine too.

After weeks of worrying that I got worse than -10 on LG, I got -7. I can deal with that. My worst section ended up being RC at -8, including missing 4 of the last 6 questions. Ugh. Can somebody remind me what the last passage was about?

I think it was about environmental law?

Oh yeah I think that’s right! Combination of test fatigue and difficult passage I suppose
