So, I always do really great in practice and drills, but everytime I take a prep test I just dont do well. I will go through 30 questions timed and get nearly every single one right while I am drilling different things, but then I sit down to do a whole prep test and get way too many wrong even though I know what I have to do. Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips? I feel like maybe I am not taking the prep tests as seriously as I should and not acting as if they are the real thing to really see where I am at.

I started in the 150's. What got me scoring 160+ in my practice tests was to eventually stop focusing so much on trying to learn everything and just practicing nonstop instead. I would sit and drill logic games or LR sections for hours. Just forcing myself to drill to build intuition and speed is what helped me the most. You need to do a lot of practice!
Look at the answer choices very critically. Analyze every single word, and if one seems off, or out of scope or too strong, then its probably not right. Compare the choices to the stimulus, not to each other. See if theres a certain question type that you fall for the wrong choice more often than others, and look for patterns of what you are falling for. Be able to explain exactly why that choice is wrong after you miss a question and spend some time with it.
