Hey! I would recommend looking for patterns in the questions you missed (both on BR and the original test). Were certain question types giving you more trouble than others? Once you do that, I would take some time reflecting on them in a wrong answer journal, and then start doing single question-type drills. Focus on one concept until you're at least able to consistently get 100% on drills with 3 and 4* questions. When you're feeling solid with that concept, go to the next one. At this stage, most of your studying should come from drilling! Sections and PTs are an important part of studying and can be great as benchmarks and ways to test out strategies, but they're not the most efficient use of your study time, especially at this stage.
I usually get a 160 on individual LR sections and did a preptest that got me a 148 but blind review i bumped up to a 164. Does anyone have any recommendations on study methods that will help me bump up my original score? Because this means I conceptually understand the material
@ZaneClezie I usually do timed LR sections, but the majority advice I've been given is to them untimed. I just wanted to see what my preptest score would be after I've consistently gotten upper 150s and lower 160s

Congrats on the 164! That's a big deal.
@PhoebeHopp thank you! Yes most seem to be phenomenon hypothesis questions so I've been drilling those. Thank you!

@Esalas_me are you taking this timed? You should be doing untimed sections until you're more comfortable with what's going on.
