Self-study
Hi, I am looking for advice for how to get into the high 160s and lower 170s by November test. My last PTs are averaging 164 with LR averaging -4 and RC averaging -6. I do full PT BRs and WAJs and have read the loophole. Looking for any advice! Thanks!

FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ARE ASKING!
It sounds simple but,
What are they rly asking? What did they conclude? What do you need to do to tie the stem in to the actual meaning behind the argument
Do LOTS of untimed questions. This is the plateau I hit and I've just got past it by spending a ton of time thinking through questions and reinforcing strategies.
@adelaide.willert did you have any specific types of untimed drilling you did?
Exact same situation! Curious how long you've been studying? I've been able to hop from 154 (diagnostic 4 weeks ago) to consistent 163s, but really trying to get into the 167-170 range for the November test. Trying to do 2 PTs a week with WAJs, and then priority drilling. Just can't seem to knock into -3 on sections. ANYWAYS it's possible for both of us and I believe we can both do it!!
@LindseyGartner Yup! Exactly same situation. I was in the lower 160s for about 2 months now. The best I have gotten is a 166 but can't seem to get it consistently into the upper 160s.
@EmaKimoto How's it going? Any progress in the last week, lol?
@LindseyGartner yes actually I am doing better! How is it going for you?
@EmaKimoto did you try any new strategies since last week that helped get better? I’m in a similar situation and would love to hear what worked for you!
@NewStudent It's definitely not 100% consistent yet but one thing I did was a mindset change to think about each drill or section or PT as untimed and turning off the timer to forget about that. Stressing about time made me more stressed and interfered with my concentration!
@EmaKimoto gotcha! thanks for the response
