Help predict my score.....

Here are my PT scores, listed chronologically, most distant first:
PT 56 - 170
PT 54 - 170
PT 53 - 175
PT 52 - 169
PT 44 - 168
PT 45 - 175
PT 46 - 173
PT 47 - 169
PT 48 - 172
PT 49 - 175
PT 50 - 171
PT 51 - 170
PT 57 - 169
PT 58 - 172
PT 59 - 171

Please help predict my score. My worse section is RC. I get about 4 - 5 wrong in that section. Strongest is LG, except for 58 and 59.I think I will be about 170 - 172.. just to note on PT 58 and 59 I got 3 wrong on my LG questions, each test, where I only got maybe 2 wrong total on all the other tests. Also, I have been doing extra RC passages as my experimental tests (for some reason I have been doing much better on those maybe avg. 3 wrong - these are RC passages from older tests). My RC speed has really increased in the past 4 tests, and I have been able to increase my scores on RC due to this, however my LG have dragged me down.

Is this a trend of harder LG questions?

Not sure if I am going to take PT 55 tomorrow or not, I haven't been doing consecutive tests. Maybe only RC and LG just to see.

Is there that much of a drop off?

He's saying that no one can predict your score. At least he was nice about it. I was going to go with "are you frickin' kidding me? How the hell can any of us predict your score?"

Haha, okay. Gotcha. It was more of like based on others past PT performances and their actual scores. I should have made that point more clear.

Average practice test score = 171.266-repeating, with no real pattern, and within a range of 7 points between 168-175. You have been scoring in the 170+ category 73.3333% of the time. Taking into account the approximate 2 point drop off due to test day jitters, I took the liberty of applying that effect to your current practice test results. With that in mind, on test day, given the approximated drop off, you are looking at a 60% chance of getting a score in the 170+ category, with a predicted score (based purely on average) of 169.266, repeating of course.

I have no idea what you'll score (I would guess below 170). I think it's kind of weird that you've taken 15 PTs and had no real improvement.
