Anyone feel like the next few weeks are gonna be rough?

I swear, I don't even know how to feel about Saturday's test.
LG: I did the first 2 games in 10 minutes and had ample time for the last two. I would be plum surprised if I missed one.
LR: I had 3, and I think 2 went well. There were some that I wasn't 100% sure on, but I wanted to ensure that I got to all of them - didn't want to blow the last few, like I had been doing on PT's. So, while I was able to get a great chance at solving all of them, I didn't have supreme confidence on as many as I have - before. I think I only guessed on 2, to some degree; they were parallel questions that I eliminated down to 2 AC's - by looking at the language used in the conclusion.
RC: This was bad. It was my last section of the day and 2 minutes in, I panicked. It felt like I wasn't understanding anything and I was thinking I was going to bomb; this was, historically, my worst section. I took a breath and ended up feeling pretty good about the passage; I kind of feel like I might have missed the first question. I remember having a few tough choices between two answer choices, on the first three passages. With the 2nd two passages, I felt I had a strong understanding and I think I did as well as usual. Then, with the last one, I think it was the traditionally tougher science passage. I had 10 minutes so I had plenty of time, there were just some tough inferences that might have eluded me.
I think it is possible that I missed 0 on LG, 5 on LR, and 4 on RC. I think it would be very surprising, but it could have happened. I think it's safe to assume that it is very possible that I missed 7 on LR and 8 on RC. Finally, I think it is somewhat possible that I missed 1 on LG, 10 on LR, and 9 on RC.
The worst part is the not knowing; now I, and - really - we all, need to play the waiting game. It's sick that my test is sitting there, right now, and it could be a 175; it could be a 170; it could be a 165. Oh well, just have to wait for that moment when - after clicking refresh for several hours - my LSAC page will be updated and I finally see my score.
