So I have been studying now for nearly... 5 months. I work full time at a law firm and have other life obligations so I typically can only get in 2-3 hours a day, but it has been working for me, I thought. I did all of the curriculum, the whole thing. And then just drilling, sections, PTs every other week or so when I can but at LEAST every month. And it seemed to be working. I started at 153 and every PT I climbed 2 points, so I was like okay.. This is working. I took my official test in April and got a 164, which I was quite happy with.

But, I want to shoot higher, I signed up for June. At first I thought I was ready for this. Started getting some of my best scores yet after taking a week off after the April test, getting -1s, -3s on sections and such, felt good. And then.. A -8, a fluke I tell myself. A -12 in RC, uh oh... My first PT since my official take I got a 162, BUT I got lucky that the section I absolutely tanked, an RC section with another staggering -12.. was the exp. So I lucked out hard. Even still, my Blind Review plummeted, from an upward trend up to 176 down to 168.

I feel like I am stalling out. Fortunately I have signed up for a tutor and am excited for the help but I am worried if I... capped out somehow. Like, am I wasting my time and resources trying to attain a 171+? Is this just the best I can do in a timed setting? Even today, I get back to it and I just hit my averages, -7s and -6s are a constant for me, maybe that is just where I cap at on a normal day? Ugh.
