Self-study
I've been taking timed PTs and then doing BR a little bit after. Each time, my score increases on average 10-15 points. I think part of my problem is timing and stress. Any tips on how I can reduce this gap so my actual PT scores are closer to my BR scores?

This is a super common problem. I wouldn't even call it a problem -- it's more like a fundamental element of everyone's process. It's common enough, anyway, that I made a video laying out the basic basic beginnings of an answer to your question.
More detail than that requires more information about your particular case. Feel free to reply here with any follow-up questions you've got. (That goes for anyone else reading this, as well.)
one thing my tutor told me is that the easiest questions are typically beginning and end and the hardest questions are in the teens. when you get to the teens and find yourself stuck, or taking longer to answer, skip ahead and go back. make sure that you have time to get the easiest questions right, and when you have bought more time at the end go back to the harder questions. he said that the LSAT punishes linear thinkers and want you to skip questions and flag them and go back to them.
