So i've been studying for about 3-4 months. I'm consistently scoring in the low 160s but would like to break 170. Originally I struggled a lot with logic games so I worked hard on those but the last 3 weeks or so my test scores have gone down from my highest (166) because im missing 7-8 questions each on RC and LR. Originally I was missing far fewer on those sections and i'm feeling frustrated that my score in those sections has gotten worse. I know I can retake the test but any encouragement or advice? I'm particularly struggling on NA questions for LR and just not understanding passages in RC (i.e. I'll get every question right for one passage in RC and then four wrong in the next one). Idk what I'm asking for but any comments are appreciated!

Any tips?? I’m looking to increase my august 163 to a 170+ for the nov. test
Thank you all! I had no idea about the analytics thing but that’s a good idea. The 80s PTs are really killing me in everything but LG. I took a PT from the 1990s and got -2 on RC and LR and I’m currently wishing i could translate that to the later prep tests. I’m glad to hear other people are in the same boat- good luck to you all! We got this!
@ I got a tutor through Wyzant (its virtual in my case). Send me a private message (if you can do that on here?) for his name because I'm not sure if he wants me to just put it out into the world! But Wyzant has been great for me, lots of tutors to choose from with varying rates to work with you financial situation. Also sorry for the late response- I am not great at navigating this site.
I am also working full time and have a puppy and totally understand the burnout. Maybe this sounds dumb but be gentle with yourself! You are obviously smart and motivated. Maybe take a few weeks and do a little soul searching and really get to the root of why you want to be a lawyer and if you decide thats what you want then really throw yourself into studying. I think to myself about my habits now that I am "clawing my way through." I'm exhausted and cranky all the time but I just keep reminding myself that this is what I want and if I put in the work now it will make everything easier later.
As for the actual test part- I like 7sage but sometimes find going through learning question types I already understand frustrating and slow. I would say that if you have the time, start at the beginning and really dig in to understanding the fundamentals and get a better understanding of where your problem areas are and then focus on those. Remember that any test prep is designed to help you get a better score. You aren't being graded on if you complete 7sage or any other test prep. All that matters is that your score goes up! So figure out what works for you and do that even if it's not what other people are doing. I also second whoever said hire a tutor- I hadn't studied LG at all and I went from -14 on LG to -2 on LG in 3 weeks. The biggest thing is that you CAN do this! You just have to make sure you really want to. Good luck!!
