I've been having trouble staying positive/motivated when looking at my sealed vs raw scores. My highest scoring PT was from last month and was a 161 (75/104) but my most recent was a 156 (76/103). The difference in raw scores is very minor (in fact, the 156 is better?), yet a 161 and 156 feel like very different scores to me (and I assume, law schools). There is a greater trend of this happening in my analytics, but I'll spare the additional details.

I understand that which sections are scored/experimental makes a difference as well as whether is is 3LR/1RC or 2LR/2RC (I usually do better on the tests with more/3 LR sections). Is there anything I can do in terms of my studying to increase my chances at consistency/better sealed scores? And how can I stay motivated when my numbers are consistent yet my scores are dropping?

I'm registered for the April exam, aiming for at least a 160. It's hard to feel confident I can hit that when there seems to be so much variation.
