I’m coping, right?

For people who have taken the GRE…

I took the it today and scored 165 on the quant. While I know this is a pretty good score, the truth is that I’m a bit disappointed. In each of the 4 full length practice tests I took in the past 2 weeks, including power prep plus 1 and 2, I scored 170.

I’m wondering if it’s reasonable to chalk that up to things like nerves, having an off mental day, or something like that.

Or am I just coping hard and are practice tests just easier than the real thing
