I have been stuck in the 155-158 range for a month and, recently, I broke into the early 160s (160-161 last couple PTs).
As many people suggested on this forum, I focused on augmenting my BR score. I used to hit around 165-168 (BR) , but now I usually score 170-171(BR).
I am aiming for 165 + in October and something tells me that, if I am hitting 170, with all the time in the world, I still have a ton of work to do.
Timing is still an issue for me and there seems to be a general consensus, among many sagers, that it is intertwined with how well one knows the fundamentals. I am a believer that the two are causally related.
Since BR is one of the best indicators of how well I know the fundamentals, I want to push for more
Any practical tips on how to attain a perfect BR score???
Even a 1 point increase seems incredibly difficult.....
Thank you

I don't know where your concern arises... that leaves you like 35 PT's. Considering you're planning on taking it in October, I can't imagine you'd be able to reasonably take all those in testing conditions anyway without burning out hard.
Oh
I see. Yeah I probably wouldn't waste any then. You should take them all in testing conditions. I imagine the only way you can increase your BR score is to either take it more serious, if you can, or change the method of your approach. When I BR LR and I come to a question that is giving me trouble, I type it out and color-code all the logical components of it. I then color code the logical components of the answers. I then rigorously apply rules of logic until I figure out the right answer, with absolutely no doubt in my mind. This sometimes takes like 45 minutes per question LOL. But it's the only way for me to understand...
I'm convinced that the LSAT is so difficult because of time constraints and test-day conditions. I also believe that almost everyone should be regularly BR'ng well into the 99th percentile.
Back when I had more time and was less burned out, I went through the whole test. Now, I'm happy to do the ones I circled. Typically I am pretty good at circling the ones I miss, so that's good.
