Strange LR pattern

I have been noticing that on LR during practice tests that I have a LR section I do well on (-2 or -3) and then my other section is horrible (-9 or -10). There is no pattern to when this occurs either It could be during the 1st half of the test or the 2nd half so fatigue during the test probably doesn't account for this?

Anyone else experience this? Or have solutions to this problem?

That is strange, are you doing anything differently at all between sections?

I have this as well. However, I find it is that I always do better on the second of the two LR. I think I need to warm up more prior to starting my PT. I wish I could guarantee the first section was games; I feel like I would do great since games are more mechanical and could act as my warm up.

I took a PT todAY WITH games first and although I did well on the games, on the next LR section I did a -6. I felt as though LR was my first section. On the next LR section, I got a -0. This happens to me multiple times and I think I really need to warm up, i mean do like 15 LR questions before taking the actual exam.
