So I took PT38 and 39 a week apart from each other to give me time to blind review. I ended up scoring 154/171BR on 38 and 150/167BR on 39? I feel like I have a timing problem, but I have no idea where to begin climbing this steep hill. Anyone with a similar experience? I'm not sure what else to try. This is however, my second time doing BR so I'm not sure that has anything to do with it.
Thanks.

Because your BR is pretty high, my guess is that your techniques/approaches to questions you use when blind reviewing differs from how you approach these questions when taking PTs. Make sure you get more consistent and are applying the same approach that you use when BRing to taking practice tests. Also, practice, practice, practice!
You have the potential to score high, now you just need to speed up your processes
If you haven't done so already, purchase an analog watch and be mindful of the time as you go along. Are you spending too long on a question? If so, cut your losses and move on. It's better to sacrifice one curve breaker than 5 gimmes.
Make sure that you're fool proofing all of your games until you're able to get 100% well under the time limit. Redoing old games may seem easy now, but believe me, it's helping your brain recognize and react to the structure of the test.
You clearly understand what the test is asking you to do, but haven't quite figured out how to do it under the time constraint. The good news is that you're done the hard part. All that you need to do now is drill this test to death.
