Varying scores

Well, I was thinking more on the lines of… mental fatigue you might say. I imagine everyone is at least a bit sore/tired during the test from sitting there so long and only getting a 10min break in them middle of the test, especially when the chairs at the test center are those metal foldable kind. (Gives ‘pain in the butt’ a new meaning) That’s bound to have some impact on the test score, but I think it wouldn’t be too major.

I was thinking more on the lines of reading speed grinding to a halt, having to re-read multiple times in order for it to sink in, loss of concentration/spacing out, etc. setting in about halfway through the test. Can anyone relate to that from the practice tests you took to compare? Going from finishing the reading in 27mins in split sittings to finishing the reading in 45mins in one sitting is a pretty big hike.
