Only 12 PTs to use from now til December 5th

So I sat this past weekend for the LSAT and I think that I didn't reach my target goal (172) cuz I fucked up one of the games. I'm hoping for the best but planning for the worst either way, assuming I didn't hit my goal I'm gearing up for a re-take.
I'm already registered to sit in 8 weeks but only have PTs 66-74 to work with that are still fresh and also Superprep B/C too. My PT average has been between 166-170 steady over the past 2 months with a few outliers, but I'm hoping to be comfortably testing at my target score at least during November heading into my final take. What would be the best way to spread out these exams, and is it enough material to still improve? Is their anything I can gain from doing old exams too? any advice would be appreciated

I've never sat for an LSAT yet but LG really worries me. I usually go 0 on PT but people keep talking about stuck in a monstrous game on a test day.

I've used old prep tests. I remember the topics when I come to them, and sometimes I do remember the answers, but not every time.

Yeah I know what you mean, unfortunately I only tend to remember the hard/tricky questions. I think i'm just gonna use these old ones as practice and do the other "fresh" PTs in order to accurately gauge where I currently am. I've noticed that the RC has gotten more difficult as I've gotten into the mid 60s too

That's a good idea. Use the old ones to drill and practice skills. RC has gotten harder, it seems.

rc has gotten harder since late 50s so you may have already experienced some hard rc which would continue in 66-74. old superprep test scores are not going to be representative of your current score. i have found RC from old PTs (pre-50s) to be almost no use for the current rc.

Yeah I've definitely noticed the questions have gotten a lot harder, they tend to ask more so about the reasoning structure or "VP would strongly support" questions too. I used to do really well on RC but lately since the post 60 PTs i've been getting between -4 and -8 wrong on that section. i've been considering adopting a new strategy for these new RC but haven't found anything that has helped yet.

12 PTs should be enough before December. Just throwing it out there but if your still not consistently at your target score you should be drilling heavily rather then plowing through PTs...
Also, don't write off October yet! You may have done better than you think
