I FINALLY broke out of the 150s a week before my exam. Honestly started tearing up because I have never scored this high, are there any tips that I should keep in mind before the official test? I feel like I was skipping questions that I found difficult and that really helped me but I am just so happy with this final score.

HUGE congrats! Definitely seconding the "skip questions that are difficult" strat, that has been huge for my time management. Probably the most useful pieces of advice I have gotten for LR are:
For any SA or NA question, if something new is in the conclusion, then it 98% is part of the correct answer choice.
For any parallel reasoning/flaw question, start by eliminating answer choices with different kinds of conclusions (e.g. proscriptive conclusion when we need something causal) and then eliminate answers that have different levels of strength (e.g. if the stimulus talks about some/most, then the correct answer also must be some/most).
Similarly, for any principle application, if the conclusion/rule is about one thing (e.g. when something is justified), the right answer will most likely also be about when something is justified, it will not be about the negation (in this instance, when something is unjustified).
yay!! breaking 160 for me was legitimately revolutionizing I was so happy. proud of you!!
