160s Plateau Advice

Hi guys!

I've been studying since February. I started with a 156 diagnostic and have a goal score of 172+, and I just took the June test (planning on taking it again in August).

I am just so stuck on these practice tests. I got a 170 in late April, so I thought I was on an upward trend, but the six PTs I've taken since have all been between 166-168 (175+ on the BR). I know it's good that I'm consistently in that range, but I can't seem to break the 170s and I'm starting to wonder if I've hit my limit for the August test.

I've been studying for about an hour a day with drills focused on my weakest question types and fixing my timing. I felt SO good this past week about my progress, was consistently getting perfect scores on untimed and timed drills, and it didn't translate at all to my PT. There's not really a consistent pattern to what I'm getting wrong.

Has anyone experienced this and been able to improve? Is there any change in study technique I should consider?
