I've been studying since June and I feel like my motivation for this test is slowly dying. No matter what, I always score around 166-170 and I can't seem to move, whether I have a good day or not. I have been taking a pratice test every other day, but what should I do on the days I don't? Also, on the days I do, would you just recommend me to take one test and don't pratice anymore?

Please help! I want a 170 in december :(

My PT are usually -0 for LG, -4-8 for LR, and -5-8 or RC

do you mean -4 to -8 both sections combined?

-4 LR both sections and -0 LG leaves you a good margin for error on RC. you can go -6 and still get a 170, possibly even more. At least me personally, I was able to get alot better at LG/LR as compared to RC, which I think is a lot harder to improve on

What do you mean by on off days, make sure you are reviewing.

What is reviewing exactly? I usually take my pratice test the day I take them. On my off days, when I am not taking a pratice test, I am drilling LR and RC ( my two weaknesses) Am I doing this wrong? Or what do you think?

Reviewing means going over problems you got wrong and ones you were on the fence about, and making sure you completely understand why the correct answer is correct and why all of the wrong answers are wrong. Some people go HAM and do this for every single problem. For AR, I'll redo an entire game if I get a question wrong, and for RC I'll redo a passage if I get two or more questions wrong.
