Looking for retake advice (4th attempt) Forum

[AP-375]

Cancel, cancel 161.
Last 10 PT avg: 172.
I've had some issues with anxiety that resulted in the cancels and a bit of a panic during my 161. However, I've gotten my worst case scenario out of the way and applied to some schools I'd be ok with, so I really don't have anything to lose. Hopefully that will significantly mitigate my anxiety.
I am very good on time in PT's, and was fine in the test, and don't really have a pattern to the Qs I miss, so I don't want to go back to drilling by Q type. I've been studying off and on for a VERY long time, and I'm not sure what to do besides continuing to do PTs and sections ad nauseum.
The only thing I haven't focused on is retaking PTs shooting for 180, and then intensely studying the ones I miss. Is that the best chance to boost my PT score, which has hit a plateau in the low 170s? Any advice or encouragement on this strategy or any others would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, yes. I have spent an enormous amount of effort on that, with varying results.

Anyone else have any useful advice, especially regarding the method I'm asking about?
