Self-study
This is probably premature since I haven't taken a real LSAT yet. But currently I'm drilling in high 150s - low 160s, which an occasional jump to the high 160s, however, standardized tests are not my forte. I currently have a GPA well above most medians, so I was just wondering if anyone had advice for a person in my spot.

I'm in the exact same position as you. I've been studying for over a year, my score has improved by a lot from my diagnostic but I just can't comfortably break into the 160s consistently. It's really frustrating, especially since I really want to avoid a gap year after my undergrad. I'm taking the official LSAT this June and applying with whatever score I get. If you have the time and the opportunity to keep studying, keep at it, because if you're in my position after doing all this for over a year, it just gets so mentally exhausting. Good luck to you.
@Ssss thank you for the words of encouragement! I’ll be taking the test in August so not far behind you. Good luck to you as well!
Make the LSAT become your forte. use the 7Sage tools, blind review, take your time to think about what you did wrong. Set a somewhat distant test date and genuinely hold yourself to practicing and reviewing. If you can’t go so fast right now, start by paying proper attention so you understand what is the correct answer, why the others are incorrect etc.
The question forms are very cyclical once you’re well acquainted with them, the tricks they play are pretty consistent. You just have to actually soak in the content. That probably means finding a way to study less stressed than i imagine you do. I think the best thing is to take your time and as you feel more comfortable moving quickly, ramp up your speed.
@WhoAmI!ME you read my mind, studying stressed is not advisable. thank you for the tips! my Blind Reviews are typically pretty good, so I think it's more of getting to the 50/50 and picking the wrong 50.
