I just scored a 161 on PT147. As BR suggests, timing and time pressure seem to be the issue. I especially struggle with having an RC exp section because RC drains my confidence (and 2 RCs happen to me more often than not it seems like). I don't really have the option of retesting at a later date because I am applying for this cycle and want to improve my existing applications (already submitted with 162) and would not like to delay until next cycle. Does anyone have any suggestions for between now and February? I'm aiming for at least the high 160s. Thanks!

    Believe it or not, my advice for you is to rest. Take a breather, go 1 week without studying/taking a practice test or drills. Your mind needs time to reset, you blind reviewed at 169 which is great. You made a few cluster mistakes on LR1 two clusters of 1/5. That's normally due to frustration, you probably spent too much time on 1 of them and it threw your rhythm off for the next few. Your second LR with -4 is more your ability. Imagine that -4 in S1 and you're sitting at 64/78 which is about a 166 scoreline.

    You got this! Stay calm
