Sudden score jump?

ClaudioD21

Hello everyone, I was hoping someone could explain what could’ve caused a sudden score increase. For reference, I typically score in the low 150s sometimes as low as 148/149. My last 3 PT scores were:

PT76: 152 / BR: 160
PT64 (Modern): 148 / BR: 154
PT75: 149 / BR: 158

Then:
PT58 (Modern): 158 / BR 164

I just started going through the CC after completely ignoring it for months (my previous routine was strictly drills and PTs). So, while I am happy with this increase, I was curious; is PT58 exceptionally easy? Or should I feel like I earned that score? Is it possible that the “modern” setting inflated my score? Just a bit confused as to how I could’ve achieved such a big jump. Hoping for some clarification. Thanks!

Modern shouldn't inflate your score unless you're missing a ton of questions on LR

Students who study Core Curriculum and do Blind Review along with their prep tests tend to see increased scores. Charley did Blind Review along with each of his prep tests and started to study the Core Curriculum.
