The vast majority of 170+ scorers I've talked to say that they took/ someone looking to score over 170 should take at least 30 PTs total.

Thankfully I had a good experience with ProctorU. I had 2 RC sections and found one VERY difficult and one fairly easy, so here's hoping. I feel like I did great on LR and not too bad on LG maybe -1 or -2. I found myself plugging and chugging more on these LG questions than usual, but maybe my nervousness was impeding my ability to make inferences. I had to make a few educated guesses there at the end of LG(I didn't just choose a random answer, I had eliminated 3 and had to choose from the remaining 2) when I usually am finished with a minute or two to spare. I'm keeping right on studying for a second take in September if I don't get above my goal score.

Modern shouldn't inflate your score unless you're missing a ton of questions on LR
