Basically the title but I'm looking for advice.
On my last few LR sections, I've gotten -4 consistently. Save one -7 on a particularly bad day, I've gotten -4 and one -5 on my last 6 sections. I started studying seriously in June and have improved massively from getting -10/-11 but I want to keep pushing towards my goal score.
The ones I'm getting wrong are all level 4 and 5 questions, so definitely the more difficult ones at the end of the sections, and I'm often correcting them in BR, but there's no way on the actual test to do BR... so I want to turn those -4s into -1/0!!!!
Is the only way to get over this by continually drilling? Or are there other practices yall have done that's more helpful? I'm testing in October so looking for whatever advice I can get. Thanks!

Once I got to that point, I started throwing in a short (5 question) drill of only 4s and 5s whenever I studied to fine tune my learning! I did them untimed to really pick them apart. You may just want to be mindful about rationing unseen 4/5 questions if that’s important to you
I've been drilling by priority question types. That has been pretty helpful for me!
It's absolutely possible to get to close to -0 on LR. I am at a point where I very rarely get worse than -2 on LR and I'm usually -0. However, it is also very, very difficult, and for most test takers, -3/-4 is a perfectly acceptable place to be on LR.
I am one of those test takers that finds RC to be much more difficult than LR, however I still believe that RC is the easier section to get to -0 consistently.
