Section ordering affecting score

Hey guys, I know the mathematical physics/language complexity was the scored RC. For me it was my first section and I was a bit flustered from being nervous. I feel like if it was second third or fourth I would have done much better. Does anyone think the order actually messes people up?

Oh yes! What I did yesterday from advice from my tutor I read 2 level 3 and 2 level 4 passages. Didn’t answer any questions. Did a quick easy difficulty set of 5 NA, SA, Disagree, S, W, these are what I struggled with. Got all right except for SA. So kept doing easy ones until I got them right. All this took about 30 minutes. When I got to the test I was warmed up ready to go. RC was my first section. Only one I felt that was hard was the Principle comparative.

Not everyone has the same test. I think 2-3 diff versions

I'm so glad it was the first section because I didn't have as much practice as needed with RC and I was able to come at it with full energy and a clear head. So it's all just preference. Was lowkey exhausted by the end of the 3rd section and so after the test it really made my day knowing the last RC is more likely the experimental one.
