Changing my answers from RIGHT to WRONG during timed PT??

Lolo1996

Hey everyone

I noticed I have been doing this a LOT

It is costing me 5-7 points per LR section

I find the correct AC, I circle it, and I think its wrong, so I look through the "lower" ACs, and chose something else. I go back during my BR and -- DUH -- the solutions become apparent?

My BR score is 165-170ish, my PT score is mid 150. Like 155? It vacillates, depending on how CARELESS I am. All my errors are CARELESS and these are really the worst kinds of errors. All I can think of during my BR is how careless and dumb I am.

Then, I tend to get "trapped" on certain questions... I end up spending a lot of time on them, sometimes I get them right (most of the time), and there are always AC's at the end that I miss. It is VERY frustrating. If I just picked my first AC choice and moved on, I would have gotten it right AND saved myself more time for the last few questions. Problem is I have so much self-doubt, I have a really really hard time picking an AC and moving on?? My goal is to get -20 overall (or more in non absolute terms).

Has anyone else struggled with this? What should I do now? I am supposed to write this month

Details. When I was in your boat not too long ago it was all in the details - usually modifiers like "most" vs "some" vs "many", etc... in the answer choices.
The solution? Commit to being a stickler for thinking through those little modifiers. Take the time to notice them more.

Thank you for your response

I do a PT, I get 10 wrong per LR section, and I can honestly say I really did not understand maybe 3

I just don't have a good timing strategy
