Hey everyone, I'm asking for advice from anyone who's been in my position and was able to get into the 170s consistently. I've been able to get a 170-171 twice on my PTs, but after that, I've just been getting 167-169. From my last PTs, it seems like RC has generally been dragging my score down but am not sure how to address it. Should I just do some untimed RC and read more?
Also, I don't know if it's because my sleep schedule is off or if I'm burnt out, but I've recently been crying a lot over this exam. I get really frustrated when I don't get a 170 or above and it ruins my day. I feel like this is a sign I should probably take some time off but am not sure.
Thanks!

hello, I can relate even though my score isn't that high, also tired of it
Not a 170 scorer but I was doing abysmal at RC getting -12-14 a couple weeks ago, But I started doing some untimed RC drills where I focus on the low-res summaries and summarizing after the passage before getting into the questions and it helped me get a lot quicker on the questions and I got a -6 on both RC sections on my most recent one which is a 6-8 point improvement for me. I also really struggled on science passages, so I started reading some economist science articles before bed. Don't overdo it and take time off if you need! Being in a bad mental state will just decrease your score and realize your "bad" score is good enough to get you a full ride to most law schools and is enough to make you competitive for most T14's and is other people's dream score. You can take the LSAT multiple times, and you have proven you have the ability to get a 170+.
