more optimistic the further you get away from test date?

Does anyone else have more optimism about their test score the further they get from the June LSAT? I was pretty defeated after taking the test, but the more I think about it the better I think I did. Am I delusional? haha is anyone else having this experience?

@andrewpete93 I am experiencing the exact same thing right now! I stumbled upon this article a month before the test, and I thought "Now how true could any of that be?" Turns out it's spot on...

So it looks like the scientists say we should be more pessimistic! I think I'm fine with living in the delusion of a high score for another two weeks or so though. Not a day goes by that I don't think about it!
Expect the worst, hope for the best.
@Zachary_P interesting article - honestly I think that's how I've approached it (to a degree). PT average was about 164, came out of the test thinking 160-162. I think there is something to be said about "feeling worse" about it on test day (frieaking inferential thoughts...) and then thinking it wasn't as bad later on - I guess we'll find out in about a week!
I thought that I was going to get 3 LR because the first LR section I did was so easy... I thought for sure it was experimental. IT had a shitload of must be true, necessary questions. It ends up that I had two logical game sections... my test was RC LG RL RL LG. I never thought I bombed. but I worried about my bubbles being off. I actually caught myself off one question during the test and had to go back and find where I missed the question. I panicked for a second.... but that is my main fear. I am sure, that as long as I didn't make that error, I am in the same range as my practice tests.
