I've read some of the other posts and I understand that it's normal to drop a couple of points when you first start practicing and trying new strategies. Do you have any words of advice though for someone who has dropped significantly since her first two practice tests? I took two tests about a month ago, before studying at all, and got 171 on both. I then started studying to improve my score a few points, but my more recent tests have all been 165 or below.
I took longer breaks during my first two tests, but otherwise finished with several minutes of time leftover in a few sections. On the test I took today I ran out of time on one of the sections. I know taking longer breaks may have helped my score a bit on the first test but surely not by over ten points (as the test I took today would indicate it did?!). And if endurance is really the issue, then what can I do to improve that?
Any advice you have would be helpful!
