I'm getting so frustrated with my plateau

I plateaued in the low 160s and it has stared to become a mental frustration for me. Just when I feel like something clicks and I take a PT the same scores keep staring at me...

I have sat for the test twice now and have scored in my band, but below my usual, and below my band. I really want to try to apply for this cycle but I am started to get fed up...

Any suggests for how to look at all this a new way? RC is my weak spot but LR has not been doing too great lately (big surprise there I take it that most hate the section with a burning passion...)

    yeah I mean you cannot expect that just taking practice tests is gonna move your score up. got to learn all the techniques outside the test. you can read the dragon guide to reading comprehension is pretty solid although there are a lot of spelling errors. if you want to improve reading-reading is a skill-so you need to read outside of the test

    I am also plateuing in the low 160s so I get your frustration. It's been making me overthink everything and I've had a hard time focusing while studying. I would love to have a study buddy to talk this through so hit me up on my study discord if you want to chat about it: https://discord.gg/hhu6zbD6

    I am still working on a plan but I think I will re-review my weak spots and focus on drilling mainly 4-5 star questions for the next two weeks+ put a pause on taking PTs for now.

    I feel the same way. I've plateaued in the mid 160s after scoring high 160s immediately after completing the core curriculum. I can't help feeling like I've regressed despite hundreds of hours of studying. I've never felt more discouraged and unmotivated. It feels like nothing I'm doing is breaking through the curve. I will address one question type, and then another problem arises. RC remains the most unpredictable for me as nothing I've tried has improved my score there.
