LG-0
LR-eh, I'd say 3 per section
RC- wildcard. usually around 6 or 7

Then again, this is all with 32 minute sections. I'm right freakin around it, but can't seem to make anymore leeway. RC, I just can't seem to get better in. Sometimes its 4 or 5, sometimes its like a catastrophe and its 10.

LG: steady -0
LR: -2(ish) and improving
RC: -5 and no hope for improvement

The RC is what I'm nervous about. Today I went -9 in a section. That's unacceptable ... If that happens on test day I won't break 170.

So don't stop drilling or doing timed sections of LG or LR to keep doing great at those. Now you still have 30 days to get RC down. There is certainly hope for improvement. Its certainly not unheard of to have a breakthrough close to the test date. Do and re-do passages if you have to, it might actually help you to recognize patterns in the questions they ask and what type of information to pull out of the passage as you read. If your LG and LR are consistently at those scores I would personally take Feb and if you get your score thats awesome and you're done, if not then retake. Or wait it out, you can still cancel after the change date deadline. This is your first take right?

If anything is take both, not postpone. Well, unless shit goes sour this upcoming week. But thanks for the support

Really, just stop worrying. What is the worst that can happen? You end up retaking in June. Thats exactly where you will be anyway if you postpone. Take a day off and make sure to relax, you'll do much better when you aren't stressed.
