My diagnostic was a 155 (beginning of May) and I've recently started doing full timed PTs, scoring mid-160s. I'm kind of disappointed and afraid because I was hoping I'd be at 170 or so by now. I will be taking the October test. I am on PT 47. I just got some Cambridge LR drilling packets and hope they will live up to their reputation.

Do I have enough time? I just want to score as high as I possibly can by the time of the test. Also, does there tend to be a steady improvement the last few weeks right before the test? Will PTs in the high 60s/70+ be different from PT 40-60 at all? Do people score worse because these are newer tests and subtly different? If so, can they bounce back and learn their way in and out?

I think you're asking questions that are pretty difficult to answer without actually knowing your study habits/intelligence/learning abilities etc. It's possible to breach 170 with the time you have, but at the end of the day, really hard to make any meaningful assessment.

For the newer tests, I believe people tend to score fairly consistently across the board; but comments on TLS distinguish them as less cookie-cutter. There are also minor form differences (e.g. Reading Comp), and changes in question stems. Dont be too intimidated though, as I think it's more form than substance.

Good luck
