Anybody Else Have Problems Gauging Reading Comp Performance?

I pretty much know how I've done on LR and LG usually, but reading comp can be tricky. There are times when I think I've bombed but I've in fact done well, and vice versa. Anybody else have the same problem?

Yeah I totally agree. Very rarely am I surprised by my LG or arguments scores (though I am occasionally!). But reading is much harder to predict. It's what's giving me the most unrest about this test. I could potentially have gotten several wrong, or I could have done great. It's hard to tell. I tried to think over my answers, but I decided to give up ad *try* to forget about it.

the early ones were easy to tell. the recent ones are a bitch. more abstract questions, i definitely have no idea, though i think i got the "best answer" for each question, i could just as well have bombed 5 of them.

if you remember the questions post which ones you were confused about the answer and people will respond by pming you what the right answer was

or if youre like me you dont remember a single question on the whole exam unless someone else spells it out lol

or

The author would probably agree with one of the following (insert options about how enclosures/structure of tradition in society affect culture...etc)

Yes, I remember very few of them.

Completely agree. It's crazy that our reading comprehension sections are more difficult than those previous takers had to suffer through.
