@MichaelWright thank you, this was very helpful! I feel like I'm good on content, it's the timing that trips me up, especially on the back end of the sections. this is especially the case for reading comprehension. I also feel like I'm inconsistent with question types that I get wrong.
I know everyone says WAJ- but WAJ. I do it on paper I think it's more effective. I breakdown the stimulus premise by premise + conclusion and I write out how the conclusion is supported or what its missing. I Identify the gap, alternative explanations and inferences I should have made before going to the ACs. Then I explain why the AC I picked was wrong, and not just "I misread" (even if I did), I actually write out why it does not work. Then I do the same for the correct AC. Spend a lot of time on it- it made me increase my score in like a month
I am in the same boat. I've learned its about rigorously comparing the 2 answer choices I am getting down to and diving into the stimulus more and more. I would also encourage you to look at the PTs in the 150s because they are a bit different style wise.

Here's a general video I made on this topic. Lemme know if you have follow-up questions specific to your case!

@k13lawwwwww Thank you, I will try this! I take my test in September, do you think I can get my score up to at least 168 with this method??
@AmandaDemiglioClarkson I can only speak for myself but since doing this I went from inconsistent scores- to consistent -2
