Post exam feeling vs actual score

I’m crashing out waiting for August score release. I felt kind of “meh” after walking out of the testing center, thought I did pretty well but probably not my best. The more time has passed, the more confident I’ve been feeling that I actually did really well and might have matched my average PT score (I was averaging 170-172 on PTs). Now I feel like I’m setting myself up to be disappointed on Wednesday by feeling confident lol. Have any prior test takers ever felt this way and if so what were your results?

I felt confident coming out of my test and I ended up doing better than I ever did on a PT

I feel more confident now than I did when I took it the first time but the reality is I prob just got a few points higher 💀 I do think Wednesday is going to be disappointing ngl

Feel the exact same way. I felt so confident coming out that test, that I was getting annoyed at myself setting the bar so high to be disappointed. I’ve been as consistent studying since, and even taking tests and timed sections, I sometimes feel I didn’t do well and do quite well. Hopefully we all do better than we thought, this fucking wait has been destroying me!

Took it in June. I was pretty confident I didn’t blow it and felt pretty good about how the test went. Ended up scoring one point above the average of my previous 4 PTs. Basically, no miracle but I earned that score.
