cancel or try the luck?
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2010 2:25 pm
I took the Oct test for the first time and I'm trying to figure out whether or not I should cancel it.
I usually scored mid to high 160s on my pts.
On the real test, I ended up guessing (blind guess, not educated ones) more than what I usually do on PTs but felt pretty good about the ones I got to finish.
I guessed them all with answer choice D. I heard it has the best chance of being the right answer. believe it or not.
I had RC-LG-LR-LG-LR combination.
RC - 7 of the 8 last questions (all on one passage)
LG - experimental section
LR - blindly guessed last 3-4
LG - last 4 questions
LR - again, last 5 questions
I usually don't have any issue with timing except for RCs but this time it hurt me on all of the sections.
I know I've blindly guessed quite a few questions but I feel somewhat good about the questions I had finished on time.
I'm willing to leave the score as long as its around mid to high-160s and I don't think it will hurt my application either although I'm shooting for 170
I don't think it's a bad idea to see how I've done on a real test before I prepare for another one. But on the flip side, I'm extremely worried that I might have done terribly bad.
Should I cancel or try my luck?
Pls. give honest and considerate advice.
Thanks.
