Should I give up on this test date?

I started studying in September but had to pause mid-September to early November for work. I'm aiming for a 177-178, but I can only manage -1 on LG, -2 or 3 on LR, and -1 or 2 on RC and have been at that level for two weeks with no improvement. Should I just give up on January? I'd like to hear from people that have been able to get past a plateau.

    This may or may not apply to you but it's worked for many of my students still missing those last few points. Speed work on easy stuff.

    A lot of those last few points are careless errors which typically go unnoticed when committed. So being able to blast through that first game or those level 1-3 questions gives you more time for another look at your work. This test is about efficiency, which is a balance of speed and accuracy. So when you are as accurate as you can be say on that level 1 sequencing game, ask if you are also going as fast as you could be, i.e., picking up those points in the most efficient way.
