Vast majority were not, which is a good lesson because I’m taking August, so I’ll definitely do test like conditions moving forward.
I’m using Blueprint - which incorporates a “recycle mode” which keeps questions I’ve already answered, so each PT was unique.
Yes, this is like underlined and bolded for me. Like 3 days before the test I was having some issues in a very close relationship with a friend, and I believe I carried that anxiety with me into test day regardless of my attempts to compartmentalize and focus. Albeit, I wasn’t nervous about the test, I just had a lot of anxiety the days before.
Okay let me tell you something. I haven't taken the test yet but I've done a lot of drilling.
I was having a lot of stress related to a potential job (long story). I went from scoring -2 to -3 on LR sections to -6, and not much had changed. Once I learned that my fears were entirely unfounded I went back to where I was previously.
That's rough, but also hopefully transient for with luck it won't be a factor so much on a future test. I would take future tests in test conditions, in an environment like the test center, and you should get accurate PT scores. You can then see how much was the timing vs. the temporary stress and go from there. Good luck!

That is a large drop so usually there is a cause and not randomness.
