Some people ask questions like, "I've studied my way to a 170, so that's now my true score. How could I possibly get significantly lower scores? Am I getting dumber?"
People often fail to consider that there is an element of randomness involved on standardized exams.
-With a limitation on the number of questions that can be asked, some concepts that you're good at might not appear, leading your score to be lower than it would've been otherwise.
-A concept that doesn't always appear might show up on your test. If it's something you're shaky on, again, your score might end up being lower than it would've been otherwise.
As always, the safest course of action to guard against unanticipated low scores is to learn everything.
Other factors that lead to score drops - burnout, sleep deprivation, stress, poor health. Get enough sleep, eat well, and get moderate exercise. This stuff really makes a difference.
