I've been drilling the Cambridge bundle rigorously (alright, not that rigorous, something like 4 hrs per day) in July and started taking timed PTs from August, approximately 3 PTs per week. From the 3rd PT I've taken, my score remain constantly at 167-168. Now I've taken 8 PTs, and still,no matter how carefully I've reviewed the previous PT, the next one still came out with the same score. Now I feel highly frustrated by the whole process, since there are only 45 days left before the test.

My biggest problem is I still can't reach -0 on LG. I keep missing 2-3, all of them local questions, featuring maximum/minimum number of possibilities. Is there a particular way to overcome this?

My RC fluctuates, depending on how well I feel when I do the PT. At best I miss -3, at worst may be 6 or 7.

For LR, I usually miss 2-3 per section. Still, assumption is the problem, sometimes resolve the paradox and weaken also hurt me. I'm considering about re-drilling the Cambridge.

According to TLS wisdom, I might be in a "plateau" and right now with PT and still drilling by type, I feel I start to hate LSAT as a result of frustration. Is there anything particular I should do at the moment, or do I just need to stick to what I've been doing and things will improve naturally?

I am shooting for 170. It seems there is a huge gap between upper 160s and lower 170s. Any suggestions or success stories or sympathy are welcome!

Thanks.

You may just need to take a break. 45 days is a lot of time, really. Try not to get frustrated (easier said than done) and be optimistic since you are consistently scoring in a good range (albeit not where you want to be but that is ok for now).

I would personally start drilling those particular question types and take a break from the PTs.

I was scoring in your range and a little above but got a 166 in June. I took 2 months off and now am studying again for a couple of weeks and it is far more enjoyable.

Retook 168-->175. Keep at it. It's worth it.

You can drill LR questions untimed, so pull a section of those out and do one or two in your spare time throughout the day. (On the bus, at lunch, everywhere.) Use your dedicated time to drill LG.

You can do it! Just keep at it!
