Did anyone see a % jump right away when switching from timed to tutor?

That's in UW, but people with Kaplan can chime in also.
I went through about 40-45% of UW in timed mode and I
was consistently finishing with 15 mins left in each section.
Then I switched to tutor mode (still unused, random), and saw a
5-10% increase. I don't know if its because I was just rushing through
the questions in timed mode and I am actually using process of
elimination in tutor mode (which seems to help with UW a lot once
you have a basic knowledge). I want to see if its just a mental thing
or have others also noticed an increase.

No. It IS a mental thing.

this test is one big mind game.

for instance, when i get the first question wrong on a block of 48 unused, my overall average is 12% higher than if i had gotten that first question correct.

when i break 77% on blocks of 48 unused, the majority of my errors are in the first 24 questions. when i'm <77%, my errors are concentrated in the latter half of the block.

i went through my old tests in uworld, rx, and qbank and this held true for the vast majority of them.

there isn't really a discrepancy between timed and tutor mode, however.

I've actually noticed that I do significantly BETTER in timed vs tutor. Maybe because I just go with my gut and move on rather than waffling between answer choices.

This might be a stupid question since I'm halfway through the question bank already, but what does Tutor Mode even mean? I'm not finishing exceedingly early (usually 10-12 minutes usually), but if tutor mode seems to help in that circumstance I'd love to try it out...

Tutor is just it giving you the answer right after each question and you look through the explanation. It's like studying.
