I am currently in my second round of studying and have been consistently studying for 7 months. I began with the core curriculum and have been working through a mix of drills, sections, and PTs. My score has moved from a diagnostic score in the 140s, to the mid 150s in my first round of studying, to a 155 official score on the October 2025 test, now to the low 160s. I have been trying to focus on specific question types that I am consistently missing. While I have seen vast improvement on conditional reasoning questions and in RC questions as a whole, I am still missing a large number of causal reasoning questions. I have tried to diagnosis the issue and figure out where I am going wrong when answering causal reasoning questions, but I have not been able to nail down the misstep. I am looking for a tutor to help me figure out where I am going wrong on causal reasoning question types. I am taking the September 2026 test so I realize time to improve is quickly fleeting, but I am determined to put in the work needed to address the gaps. Please reach out if you think you can help! Thank you!
I am having the same struggle. I scored a 162 on the last three PTs I have taken and after BR scored 169, 174, and 176. Clearly the gap for me comes when I am answering under timed conditions. I have been using the AI coach to help me study in a more targeted way to reach my goal score (170+ on September test). Recently the AI coach advised me to take a pause on PTs and focus solely on specific question types I am consistently missing. I have been drilling my problem question types under timed conditions and WAJing/reviewing explanations when I choose the incorrect answer. This seems to be helping me as it is made me deep dive on why/how I approach problems differently under timed vs untimed conditions. I have seen my drilling/section scores increase as I have followed the AI coach instructions. I am in no way an expert, but maybe this method of studying could help you as well! Best of luck!! Rooting for you!
