I've been stuck in the mid to upper 160's for months now and I haven't been able to break into the upper 160's/low 170's consistently. Has anyone else been stuck in this same spot? How did you break through? I've been drilling questions types but when I review my mistakes it seems like most of them come from misreading. I'm not sure if I can slow down much more because I am already finishing the setions with maybe 1 minute to spare. Any advice?

Echoing what Jonathan Wang mentioned in a different thread, "misreading" is still a product of not understanding LSAT fundamentals. The LSAT is designed to create "misreading" opportunities and experts at the test know when those opportunities arise.
I would say Manhattan + thorough review of what question types you're missing, where you're getting tripped up, and individual analysis of why is key.

but when there are multiple things you are missing in one particular AC or question its hard to say exactly what the problem is. It could be multiple things caused bc of misreading, or just misreading is one of a few unrelated mistakes, or maybe not misreading at all... but there are a lot more than a few questions per PT. I can definitely see how having fundamental issues can help cause one to misread. Of course this isn't always the case
For instance if you get $500 million but you knew you could get $10 billion with just a little more time and effort without really any risk of losing the already obtained 500, would you just not bother because you already have a large amount of money well over the avg population?
This has been my experience, and from what I've read it seems like you might be in the same boat as I am. If not, oops!
Regardless, I hope you figure out what it is you're missing or doing wrong. Good luck!
