Hello! Just from this stat, I believe timing may be one of the issues, since wrong answers tend to be clustered at the end. Try to save some time for the end by speeding up in the first half of the section.
Also, there also might be some stamina-related issue. It is definitely draining to be seated for more than two hours for an exam and to remain focused throughout. However, since that's what you will need to go through during the actual test date, I highly recommend training for your endurance. You can do so by regularly practicing doing full PTs.
Lastly, learn from your wrong answers! When reviewing, ask yourself: Why did you ignore the correct answer and instead choose an incorrect AC? What detail in the stimulus did you miss? Is there a typical flaw that you tend to find more challenging to notice on your first pass?
For instance, I had a tendency to miss Part-to-Whole (or vice versa) flaws more frequently than other typical flaws. When I realized this, whenever I read a stimulus and couldn't figure out the flaw right away, I asked myself if it could possibly be a Part-to-Whole flaw.
Most importantly, ask yourself: What can you do to prevent repeating that mistake? Whenever you work on your wrong answer journal, you are doing it because you want to ensure you never repeat that same mistake again. For example, 'I will never misread Strengthen Q stem as MSS Q stem.'
@yogibearboba I would recommend taking the September or October tests. Is there a specific reason you have to take it in August? According to Ask an Admissions Officer on 7Sage, applying mid-October and before doesn't make much of a difference. In any case, I believe in you! 💪💪💪
@yogibearboba congrats on your score! i'd recommend doing a thorough review of this pt and making sure you really understand your mistakes. i think it's one of the best ways to improve your score on the next pt!

I hope this helps, and best of luck!
my scores fluctuate from 152-158. I am taking August any recommendations on how I can raise my score by 6-10 points in the next couple of weeks :'))))
