I feel you girl, I started studying January 2025 with a 151 diagnostic. I now consistently score in the 160s. I've managed to improve a ton on LR, but my RC score is really dragging me down. I'm currently in a mini RC bootcamp I created for myself since investing in a tutor specifically to help with RC sounds like a gamble lol.
I'm also shooting for a 170+ score by June, and the fact that I haven't hit that score yet on a regular timed exam also makes me feel like my time's been wasted. But I still fully believe in myself, and I hope you do too. A 170+ score is a challenge no doubt, but I think that come June we'll both see success stories out of this experience :)
You haven't wasted your time, clearly. You've improved 11 points! Don't discount the improvement you've made so far just because it's not the final score you're aiming for. You do still have time to get it up eight points before June. It's not mid-April yet, so stop worrying about the decision you'll make then. For now, focus on improvement. There will be time later to make decisions.
Intensive blind reviews might be the key to closing the gap. I recommend them to a lot of students. Don't just do the targeted blind review offered by the 7Sage platform. Try looking back through the entire test on LawHub before learning your score. Be honest with yourself and record how confident you are on your answers to each question. That way, when you finally do submit your test for a score, you'll be able to find those times when you're getting things right but still have doubts. Those doubts are usually a source of score variability.
