158-168 is a huge range. If you were consistently 168 and just wanted 170 for your target school, then I would prob advice trying in June with the possibility of trying again in Oct. But if you've only occasionally gotten a 168 whereas your mean is 163 or so, then I just don't think there's anything we can say here to bump you past 170.
I mean, I assume you've read the Bibles, been studying for months and are PTing around where you will eventually score. So, keep reviewing, keep drilling, keep PTing, and consider classes/tutoring to help you further. But again, likely if you need a 170 for your target schools you will have to take again in Oct.
As for advice PTing, actually prepare yourself for them. A good diagnostic is not something you can just sit down and take on a whim. Eat a good breakfast, prepare your environment (dogs walked, cell phone off, etc.) and have a snack read for the break. Get yourself in the right mindset and you should before up to your best capabilities.
Yes, I have read all 3 bibles and use their many of PS techniques consistently. I have been studying for 2.5 months, and need a 160-165. I am not amongst the logic gods of TLS, but rather a mere mortal. I really dont
need a 170, however nice to my logic-peen as im not going to a T10 school in TX. I understand that setting a "low" goal is not really a good principle as you want a higher score on any test, but for TX Tech all that is needed is a 160+my URM stats.
I do need to refresh my perspective and prepare for my environment and take the PS setting much more serious. Thanks for helping me out
Anymore suggestions are needed!
