Hey there! I went through a simular process with simular goals (Diagnostic was a 151, official score of 172). Plateuing can be insanely frustrating and discouraging -- if you're interested, I'd be happy to meet with you for an hour or so, work through some problems together, and see if I can help identify strategies to help you break through this 💪
DM me if you're interested and we can set something up. You got this!
I think more context is needed to know, but I can guess. My guess is that if you are worried about running out of materials, and not progressing, it makes sense to spend as much time as you can on reviewing the questions you made mistakes on.
Is there a pattern to your wrong answers? Do they tend to be clustered near the end, or spread out? If you go to analytics, questions you can see your accuracy on questions of each difficulty type.
More importantly, for every question you have gotten wrong, do you understand why the right answer is the right answer now? If you open the last 5-star difficulty LR question you got wrong, could you explain to a person who is not familiar with the LSAT why the right answer is right, and why every wrong answer is wrong?(If you have someone who is very patient and willing to let you, actually literally try this if you are unsure if you can, it can be really helpful. Like text them right now, and say, hey can I try explaining an LSAT question to you, to test if I really understand it)
If the answer is that you could not explain the questions you have gotten wrong, then I think you need to spend more time analyzing the questions you have gotten wrong. The only way to make progress is to realize what error in reasoning/process you made for your wrong answers and figure out how you could not make the same mistake again.
So, I would need more info to be sure, but it sounds like you should go through the materials more slowly, spending more time on each question you have gotten wrong. And then you can have enough materials left to take the June test.(or the July test, or the August test)
