Is there a specific search box for the discussion board (not control + F)? Am I just blind?

I took the Dec LSAT, now studying to retake for Feb.

To prep for Dec I purchased the premium package and took ~35 PT's with thorough BR (some PT's in the 40's and 50's and all 60-70's), scoring between 164-170.

I only have 1 fresh PT (PT 76) that is in the 60's and 70's, which I am saving for the week before the test. I have read that it is most important to PT with the more recent tests. Since I began studying for the Feb test, I have retaken about 4 PT's in the late 60's and early 70's and got excellent scores (obviously inflated).. but I am recalling a lot of the questions from taking them previously... so I don't think it is benefiting me as much as it should.

Should I start taking PT's I haven't done even though they are very early (PT 30 - 40?) Does anyone have specific recommendations for studying for a retake?

If need be, I plan on taking the LSAT for a fourth time.. (depending on feb score)

My first take was in June 2014, since then I've taken it two more times. Will I be able to take it again June 2016? Does that follow the 3 times in 2 years rule? I believe I read it is 2 years from your first write?

So... December 2015 was my second write of the lsat.

For my first write I studied for about a month with Princeton Law Review.. I felt in no way prepared or ready to take the test but took it anyway. Scored a 156. Not surprised.. it was actually higher than my highest PT. I wasn't too concerned since I was in my third year of university and knew I could write again and have time to prepare.

For my second write (December 2015) I joined 7Sage. I purchased the premium package, studied for 3 months, and took ~35 PT's (some PT's in the 40's and 50's and all 60-70's and 3 to 4 a week) I did a BR for each and really felt like I was mastering the content. Within the weeks approaching the test I was scoring between 164-170. I actually felt prepared to write in December. Got my mark back.. and i got a 154. WTF!?!?! how is that even possible?? I got a higher score feeling ill-prepared studying for just 1 month?? I didn't feel necessarily nervous or anxious during the test and actually felt like I crushed both LR and RC sections. Turns out I clearly didn't... . For the games I usually go -0 but game 3 really sewered me too.

I just re-wrote PT 77, after a month of not studying and got a 170 (keeping in mind the content was more familiar). What the hell is going on?? I write my most of my PT's in a room with constant city noise in the background plus the distractions at almost "high" on the 7Sage proctor app so I know that wasn't much of a factor..

I already applied to schools for the 2016 cycle and with these scores, the schools I applied to won't even touch me! I signed up for the Feb test already, which will be my third take. I have seriously never been so devastated and discouraged in my life. I put serious effort and hours into studying only to have it not pay off one bit.

I've lurked so many forums and took into consideration different study methods and they all seemed to work well. I genuinely thought I had the perfect system. What do I do from here? How should I change my study method for the feb test?

I understand that your BR score is relative to your abilities in answering the questions correctly...but am I wrong to assume that it is possible to actually reach your BR score while under timed conditions?

What have your experiences been?

My most recent PT score (first PT since the diagnostic) was 151, blind review is 172. Do you believe in 2 months time I will be able to achieve such a score while under times conditions? Obviously taking into consideration the time I put into studying from now till then.
