The same exact thing happened to me... i started usually scoring 172's on practice tests in August after 1-2 months of study then kept studying a multitude of other books and methods and my scores started becoming very unpredictable. I would get a 168, then a 171 and all I wanted was my old score prior to digging deeper into the techniques. But recently, two weeks ago, I started taking the techniques a little less seriously and just doing questions over and over (not specific to type) in a casual setting, untimed in order to get my intuition back. Two weeks ago I got my first 175, then a 173, and last weekend I got a 175 once more. I don't think these 175's would have been possible to get without going deep into the techniques (not just relying on intuition) because now I have an intuitive sense for the questions that I can rely on, but also can use the formulas when I get stuck. Just letting you know that there is hope, I was freaking out too after seeing my scores start off high then two more months of studying (sacrificing every social event etc to study) made them keep decreasing instead of increasing but it got better!
