Timing Drills

My BR PT scores are telling me that I understand the material but am struggling under timed conditions. I just did a very off-feeling PT where my score was a little disappointing but where I BR'd to a 174. I think many of these were because I was between two answers and selected incorrectly. Can you guys give me some inspiration for timed drills that can help me get my speed up? I am registered to take the June test, hopefully I'm not in too bad of a spot. Thank you!

    I don't think timed drills per se are the answer. Look at where you are losing time. Think about what you want in an a/c. Strong or weak language? How do you test an a/c back against the stimulus (negation test, etc)? Get a better handle on what you like and don't like in a valid answer for each question type.

    @julielamberth I went back to look, and it turns out I'm losing a ton of time on Causal! This hasn't been a priority for me, so I am a little surprised. Your advice makes sense- what I'm hearing is to focus more on the argument structures and spectrum of support over forceful timing.
