Hi! I have been at this plateau for the last ~6 months. In the last 9 practice tests I've taken, only 3 have been in the 170s. How do I move past this barrier when I feel confident abt questions during the test? Are there recommended daily study routines? I fluctuate between getting -2 and -5 wrong on an LR section and I would just love to get consistent.

Please help. My goal is mid -170s

  • I had a shorter plateau, and I found doing massive drills of the questions types i'm bad at to help me break through.

    I feel like if you consistently score in the high 160s, that probably means you basically just know most of the answers, but the 2 or 3 hardest questions are basically guesses, and maybe 1 question type is basically a guess.

    For me I was weirdly bad at conclusion questions. And I did a 50 drill set of all conclusion questions. And finding the conclusion 50 times in a row kinda made those type of questions automatic for me in a way that doing 50 conclusion questions spread across 20 drills and 5 practice tests wouldn't.

    You could also do some 3 question drills that are only level 5 difficulty questions, and take as long as you want, like literally >10 minutes per question, and practice fully solving them

  • Do fewer practice tests. Do more timed sections and drilling with deep review afterwards.
