Drop on PT 86

Hi guys, so on PT 80,81,82 and 85, I averaged 165, but I just wrapped up PT86 and dropped to a 161. I'm definitely still happy with that score and totally understand that apparently 86 is a particularly challenging test, but I'm wondering if it's difficult enough to explain a drop in 4 points (5-6 additional questions wrong).

For context, the section that dipped the hardest for me was LR by -4 less than my average, and LG by -2/3. Would love anyone's advice on if I should be panicking or if there's still hope for me still hitting a 165 on test day next week.

    Individual Prep Tests are a noisy indicator - scores can fluctuate a lot. I wouldn't worry too much about a single drop.

    I chart my PT's and insert a trend line, so I can see if I'm trending up/down/flat. I think that's a better way to track progress!
