Beginning a LR section at the end - efficient?

Just been analyzing my last few PTs, and a common theme involves questions 18+ = string of wrong answers. Naturally, these are loaded with tough questions relative to the rest of the section, but I'm sure the fatigue can amplify that difficulty.
What do you think of starting at the end to combat this?

The hardest questions are actually around 14-18, with the twenties lightening up in difficulty usually.

Which suggests it's just a fatigue issue.

I've tried this to mixed results--helped a bit with timing but accuracy was still about the same. If you haven't been practicing this way already but are planning on taking on Saturday, I wouldn't recommend such a drastic change. The potential for screwing it up/missing a question/misbubbling/still struggling with fatigue significantly outweighs the potential for modest benefit.

I've started to notice that... I may try this technique next PT, or flirt with this somehow.

Bump. Does anyone do this?
I almost feel like trying 1-10, then going from like 20-25/26, and going back to 10-20.
