It's pretty normal to hit dips in your PTs. Doesn't necessarily mean the tests are harder. Sometimes it's just a mild form of burnout.

I also experienced a noticeable drop in LR performance. After practising 5-10 PTs I could manage -0 or at most -1 in PT range 20-30. When I found I had run out of preparation time and jumped to PT70+, I usually miss -2 or at most even -4 in each section.

It may be that recent PT s use a bit trickier phrasing, etc, but I guess it also could be that in pursuit for speed I'm too much relying on "experience" and not giving each answer choice as thorough consideration as before.

And I think you WILL do better at retake.

the increase in pt difficult begins mainly around mid 50s and not necessarily with pt 65. if you could score 175 average in early 60s late 50s pt, no reason you can't in 70s.

I'm not in a dissimilar situation to you and from my knowledge of your prior posts, you are KJD. I would recommend that you do not worry at all about a retake during this cycle and instead focus your energy on making really compelling essays. I get that TLS wisdom is essays/softs are not really that important, but I know plenty from anecdotal experience that great essays can be. Then just see what your outcomes are. If you don't like your options, then start studying for a test again next cycle and assuming you have a job in the meantime, the addition of WE helps your prospects. No sense going through so much psychological pressure right before law school.
