Self-study
On my most recent practice test I got a 168, and I did really well on my LR sections -0 and -4, but I haven't made any improvement on RC in the 4 months I've been studying at all and I still get -6 or -7 on every RC section. I've tried a bunch of different methods and nothing seems to help my score. Does anyone have any tips on how to score better on RC?

Accept the losses and carry on? You are doing great and have an enviable score if you're PT'ing at 168.
The only advice I can give is to read more on your own time and practice RC more. Where do you think you're getting tripped up? Is it a timing issue? Not understanding or fumbling on a specific question type? etc.
Can you afford to hire a tutor? A great tutor can help you and spot the areas where you need help. If you can't afford a tutor, try to join or form a study group for reading comp. In a study group, others can bounce ideas around and you can pick up some valid methods that work in reading comp. Hope this helps.
