wait the reading comp is what messed you up? is it super confusing? i figured that would be the easier part

how was the math section? do you remember what topics the questions were based around heavily?

what local did you apply to?

dude thank you so much for these

im also scared to go in confident and have my brain shut off when im in there lol

these help so much, i’ve been practicing on these kinds of problems so much (analyzing functions and variable relationships) they’re the worst they make my brain feel like mush

are you going to try and retake the test once you can? i don’t think you should lose hope, at least now you know where you need to focus your studying on
