Hi Rich - thank you for your reply. Yes - it was a full length timed practice exam. However, I didn't do the Essay or IR portion. On three 300-500 level questions, I rushed and made careless errors that I normally wouldn't have made on very simply problems. I think that brought my score down signifi...
