How to maximize final week?? It's crunch time!

Hi TLS! This is my first post, as all I've done w/r/t law school apps thus far is obsess over my GPA. That's over (I've graduated) and now I get to worry about the LSAT!
I have been studying for about 2 weeks (after studying half-heartedly about 1.5 years ago for about a month, learned the basics then) and have taken my practice test score from a 163 on May 16th to a 170 today. My thinking is that I am only 2/3rds through my study time so I should still be able to make some additional improvements. My goal for the real test is 171, though higher is obviously better. I am open to retaking in the fall if I can't break 170 next week, but I'm not going to be able to devote much time to study after July (starting an intense job) so I really should get it done now.
Anyway. Most of my improvement thus far has been in LG, which I went from only finishing half of to now finishing most of and getting a few wrong. I have a tutor for this, though, so I am wondering what I can be doing to perfect my LR and RC skills in this final week - I am planning to take a practice test and blind review it every day (just found out about blind review - oops) in addition to more LG practice but what else could I be doing in this very short amount of time?
I have had a couple pretty bad practice tests where LG went fine but then I got -5 or something on RC or LR even though other times I get only -2 or so. Basically my primary goal is making sure this does not happen on test day.
Good luck to all others who will be taking with me and thanks for any advice!!
