My worst section is RC, my best is LG but it is still not perfect. I need to take far more practice tests to prepare for the October test, but does anyone have any tips to improve from a 158 to 160's in 6 weeks time?

I scored a 158 on my August LSAT. It was about what I was scoring at the time I honestly expected to score worse, but I am aiming to score in the low 160's by October. Is it possible to increase by at least 5 points by October? I'm trying to figure out a better study schedule for the month that is not so grueling, I studied 6 days a week about 7 hours from June to August. Any helpful advice or tips would be lovely.
Any tips on getting faster at RC? I'm trying to read each passage in 4min and answer questions in 4 min, but I am finding that I still take too much time on answering the questions. Should I spend less time reading?
How can you tell the level of difficulty for the passages in the RC section? I know the passages have gotten more difficult recently and they are not necessarily in the order of easiest to hardest? Should we attack the passages with the most questions first? Or should we just go through in the order provided?
I am planning on taking in person in October. For August, there was a specific day where we scheduled our test time and date online using the Prometric site. Have they released what day that is for the October test? I have not seen an email about it.
If I write my writing section after I take the LSAT next week will that delay me getting my scores back the day they says scores are released? (August 30th)? I need to see my score to see if I will be retaking in October and August 30th is the last day to register for October? I am trying to prioritize my studying this week and not focus on the writing.

Thank you! I definitely need to learn which questions to just skip and move on to maximize my chances at answering most of the questions. You're right, getting answers wrong is inevitable for RC so might as well give myself the time to get more right!
