Plateauing at 162
Hey guys,
I'm curious to see how other 7sagers have broken out of the low 160s. To give you an idea of where I'm at, I'm averaging about -6 per section on LR, -5 on LGs, and -5 on RC for an avg of 161 the ten most recent. With more drilling, I think I can get the LGs down close to -0. However, I'm really struggling to get my LR score to the point where a 170 is possible. I'm making 2-3 dumb mistakes per 50 questions, and then missing most of the harder questions (doesn't really matter what type they are). Timing is still an issue for me, although I'm getting through the first 10 in ten minutes or so. Any specific drills/techniques on escaping the 160s would be much appreciated, thanks!

having a similar problem. I'm stuck between 158-162 and have a similar score breakdown. I miss the harder questions on LR and make a couple stupid mistakes per section, but I think that may be because I'm trying to go too fast.
Aside from getting LG down to -0 which seems like it's a lot harder than some make it out to be, I don't know what to do
I have the same exact problem. I posted something in the forum a few days ago to this link

How long have you been studying? Also what question types have you been struggling with? With minus 6 on each section of LR, I would focus more on doing deep untimed work with a focus on sharpening foundational skills like diagramming and ID'ing the conclusion premise and the gap in the argument. It is much easier to get better and faster with easier questions than trying to get the curve-breaker questions correct. A strategy you can try out is to shave off precious time in the easy questions so you can bank more time for the harder ones.
thanks westcoast! I've been studying for about 9 months, a bit more than half of that with seven sage. I'm a little weak on principle questions, so I'm going to focus on them more. The first stage of my prep was with the bibles, which were solid but only got me so far.
