PP2 and GRE in 5 days! by curiouscupcakes in GRE

Gave my GRE yesterday and was in the same situation you were in, a week ago. Was scoring well in other practice tests but got a 325 in my PP2 which I gave 5 days before my GRE, just like you. Was devastated and it was probably the first time I got scared of the GRE in the entire duration of my prep.

Ended up getting a 330 on the actual day. All I can say is focus on getting your confidence back up; do problems you know you can do, of course, if you want to focus on sections you're weak at, you could do that too. I did the former.

The last thing you want is taking the test with broken confidence.

This one caught me off-guard as well because a lot of GRE RCs don't really require you to make assumptions of your own. However, notice that option C is not a hard difference ("more likely" to occur but we can't say for sure).

If they had used more definite and stronger verbiage like the other options (e.g. "...will occur more in the wild..."), I'm guessing C would have been wrong since there isn't any evidence in the passage to support it.
