For those of you who reached 170, what are some things you know now, but didn't know when you were hitting low 160s? Right now, I'm PTing around 160, and on:
LG: I'm making a few mistakes here and there. Could be faster.
LR: I'm getting the few unique questions in every section wrong. Averaging around 21 per section.
RC: I feel like they are throwing a lot of info at me and am having a generally hard time. Could be faster.
How did you improve on each section? For example, when I was in the 150s, I didn't have a clear knowledge of all the question types, I was reading too slow, and I wasn't aware of the trap answers that appear regularly. Are there additional insights you gain at the 170s level?

Re: 160 to 170
RC - reading as many as possible, recognizing question similarities in order to anticipate possible questions, timing (getting passages read in about 2-3 minutes with comprehension), making less markings (sometimes none) while reading actual passage as this was slowing me down and affecting my comprehension of overall passage
LR - drilling by question type until the answers for each type seem almost obvious, switched to reading question before stimulus which was very helpful for me
LG was not a problem first time
