Self-study
Hi all! I’ve been stuck in a mid 160s plateau for several months. It’s clear to me that I need to change something in order to get over the plateau. Would love to hear from those of you who overcame this frustrating spot and broke into the 170s: what made a difference for you?

I've had this issue for a while now, and I recently started studying the basics again, which has helped me steadily improve over the past few weeks. I was doing good on the 1-3 level questions but struggled with some 4s and most 5 levels. I went back to some of harder questions that I got wrong and did a deep-dive of those questions and what exactly I got wrong. Then I went to study those specific question types and took notes of how I got them wrong. I went over the fundamentals of LR, conditional reasoning, and bi-conditionals.
I'm also working on 4-5 level questions non-timed, and then doing a drill right after with a mix of questions timed. Usually if I do a non-timed drill of the harder questions, I can really think through them and understand how I should be working on them. It really is difficult to incorporate the strategies they recommend, but once you get consistent with it, it'll start to stick. Hope this helps.
Good luck!!!
@180LSATManifest Actually I think going back to the basics would be a good idea, really get a better grasp on the fundamentals
do you have a timing issue? like are you rushing the end of sections or not finishing with any time left to go back & check any questions you flagged? that kept me stuck in the 160s.
@Marcus91 Not really! I think I'm just getting fooled by a handful of the trick answers
