Try taking a week off, no bs, no lsat, just vibes. Also stop drinking if you haven't done that
You think that would help? Im a very every day long gym and ling study guy. Everyday this summer Ive lifted and then studied, i have been feeling very burnt out recently, making more ‘stupid’ mistakes in the lower difficulty questions, and losing the edge I was getting on the hard questions
Yes! After a very mid June LSAT score I took a whole month off to travel and hike, when I came back and did my first PT my score went up by 5 points. I'm a big advocate for having time off the LSAT. Like the gym you grind for a couple hours a day, then say after 7 PM you should stop thinking about the LSAT and do other things until your routine resets the next day. Also take one day a week completely off. You can't force gains in one day, same with LSAT. Attitude and mental clarity is probably the most important factors during a long study summer. Your brain needs time off the LSAT to comprehend the things it learned.

I used to struggle really bad with RC too, getting like (I remember getting -8,-9 this Feburary). Today I hit a -1 (-0 BR) on an RC section on my PT for the first time. I wouldn't focus on the star system because it's highly dependent on the individual. Focus on low-level summaries and reading. Don't worry about timing for now and try to get the author's POV and other's POVs down first. Good luck!

Try breaking a full RC section down to the passages, aim to spend 8-9 minutes per passage. Take a break after each passage but don't BR until you finish the whole thing. Pay attention to author POV.

I broke 170 for the first time yesterday after taking 2 weeks completely off after the June exam, which I got an 167 on. (I was scoring in the mid-high 160s before the June exam so that was exactly as I expected). I'd say take some time off and approach the LSAT with a new lens.

yes, get the score review. Considering the time you have I think you will definiitly score higher in Aug if you lock in. (I'm in the same position, recently decided to let go about my summer dreams and lock in for 3 more months to break 170)

If it's any help, when I do individual sections I usually get like 1-2 per section wrong, but when I do the whole PT, I get like 3-4 wrong per section. Obviously timing makes a difference, I'd say. When I split up individual sections to 5 questions a time or a passage a time, the error rate goes down even more, I think part of the challenge is the intense focus you have to maintain through the 3 hours.

I started in the in the low 150s back in Jan and am scoring in the high 160s now, trying to break 170. Keep a wrong answer journal and really focus on understanding the common modes of reasoning in LR and author POV in RC. It's a long process, so don't rush it. Take it a day at a time.
