Self-study
On a PT has anyone routinely done their first LR section then gone backwards (start with the last question) if the next section is LR? My thinking is that you are already in that 'curve breaker' mode so you just maintain it rather than going back to easier questions, then ramping up again. I have a bad habit of not letting go of a question then rushing the clock at the end. So if I were to do this (yes, I should correct the issue of letting go) I would be rushing easier questions with maybe a higher probability of getting them right?

I've never heard of this strategy, and it's an interesting one! My only hesitation would be that if you're taking too long on a "harder" question, that's sucking up a lot more time than taking too long on an easier question. So you'll be rushing easier questions, but you'll really be rushing them, be frazzled from the lack of time, and leaving easy points on the board. Still, it's worth trying out in a PT to see if it changes anything!
As someone who also struggled with letting go, developing a liberal flagging system helped. If I was less than 90% sure about an AC, I would flag the question and move on. If I was feeling really lost on it, I would go with my gut and write the question number down. This meant by the end of the section, I had about a dozen questions flagged, but only a couple written down that really needed another look and about 8-12 minutes left to go back and do them. For the other flagged ones, coming back with a fresh head really just helped me confirm I was right the first time.
I hope that's at least somewhat helpful.
