I had 68 right so it's a 156
RC: -9 (my first section)
The first two passages I was (-1); I got 2/6 on the third passage which was comparative reading and 4/8 on the last passage. I had about three questions to go when the 5 minute warning went by. For me, RC has been a hit and miss. Sometimes I get -3 out of 27 questions, then I could get -12 in another section. did any of you guys feel that the passages were harder as time went on?
LR1 with 25 questions: -8 (my third section)
I answered the 1st question wrong picking B instead of choice D on a flaw question. WTF was I thinking? Scary thing here, I changed two wrong answers to the right answer choices on my answer sheet. I've averaged from -8 to -4 on LR sections, so this was on the lower side of my performance, but not an outlier bad day.
LG: -7 (my fourth section)
I was given a verbal warning by proctors for breathing too hard according to a test taker who sat two seats away from me (a chair between us), and I was never the same after that. I didn't breathe too hard in my opinion.. Asked another test taker who sat right next to me and she said I was fine. I did ask her before the guy who reported me came back from break.... I typically average -1 to -2 in logic games. I missed one question on the first two games, then the third game (track meet) killed my time partly because I was pissed, and I may have been thinking about my verbal warning more than the test, and I only got 3/6 in this game, and also 3/6 on the last game which I had six minutes to do. I guess 3/6 isn't that bad when I was working frantically on that last game still worrying about an irregularity which fortunately didn't happen.
LR2 with 26 questions: -9 (my 5th section)
Again, I wasn't ever the same after my warning. But my performance here wasn't that much different than the first LR section. I missed each of the last three questions due to timing issues (I was still thinking about that warning), and five of my last eight. At least two of them were questions I normally got right.
In short, most of my sections were at the bottom range of my averages, except logic games.... I am dwelling on how my test would've been without the warning...
