Hey buddy, I had the same issues as you when I started studying( June 2015); after taking the test in december and getting a 167, I decided to retake in February and got a 176. Getting from the high 160s to the 170s was extremely hard and took a ton of work. You can do it.
I want to severely caution against some of the crazy ideas in this thread. Like them I had this idea that if you put more blood, sweat, and tears into studying you will continue to reap rewards...and I did, until a point. I was taking a PT every single day except Saturdays and blind reviewing and correcting them the same day. Well, I got burnt out of course, and it really hurt my scores...I started to score lower and lower even though I was working harder and harder...
Sometimes it's best to relax. At this point you know the material. It will be improbable there will be a game, LR question, or RC passage that will be unlike what you have seen before. What's more important is to really get some introspection going. Why are you missing certain LR questions? What type are they? Drill those. How are you doing in games? Is your timing allowing you enough time on the harder games? If not, practice getting through the first game as quick as you can. How's RC? What mistakes are you making here? Why are you making them?
I wish I had some more substantive advice for you but there's no recipe for this. You have enough time but just remember: work smarter than harder for the LSAT.
I feel your pain. Dropped from a high score now stuck in the high 160's.
