Self-study
I took pretest 149 and got a 150. Days later, I did Preptest A and got a 158. Today I took PT 126 and got a 153. I struggled on RC more than my previous practices because two of the passages were HARD. I studied and learned concepts since my 150, but it's been a week. Where would that place me? Was my score on Preptest A a fluke, or could I get a 158

You're going to learn WAY more from drill sets than prep tests. Being able to do a Blind Review and wrong answer journal quickly after the questions is far more beneficial to upping your score than doing 2-3 prep tests a week. As Jake said, do a prep test every 1-2 weeks and spend that time you would otherwise use on prep tests drilling.
Don't take a bunch of practice tests, focus on sections, and try to take a practice test once every 1-2 weeks. Consistency in the sections>>worrying about test scores. You got this!
The most recent PrepTests are more representative of the actual test. That being said, some fluctuation is normal, and your scores depend on a variety of factors, including preparation, sleep, level of anxiety, and a little bit of luck (like which topics end up being on your test).
So can you get a 158? It's certainly a possibility. But I don't think that anyone can tell you, with confidence, that you will get a 158. It depends on a lot of things, including the quantity and quality of your studying and lifestyle habits from now until test day.
@Rena12345 I know it's only 3 point difference but is my score on PT 126 representative of what I can get on the actual test or is it to not that recent
@Bev7 I'm not an expert, so I can't say for sure. But in general, I think that patterns and trends will tell you much more than a score on one singular practice test.
