LR: Back to where I was pre-Oct test

I was pretty pumped for the October test when I bombed both LR sections compared to what I was scoring on PT's, about -3 each section, including PT's in the 70's. Dropped a -6 and a -8 on the october test so I'm retaking in Dec. In response to that, I read the LR bible, and did the grouped by type 1024 questions from PT 20-40. As a result, I found that I now finish LR sections in only about 25 minutes instead of 32-33, but am still getting about -3 in each section in tests I haven't used for studying in the 60's. Anyone have any last minute advice on keeping my LR like this on the day of the test? I want to think it was just a bad test, and that if EVERY single one of my PT's averages around -6 to -8 for both sections combined, I just need to brush up on games and CR to make sure I'm hitting my mark again, but if there's any random advice someone has for test day that'd be appreciated. My LSAT score is really important because I have a 3.3 LSAC GPA and am a non URM

Warm up before the test may be reasonable. Meditaion is another advice frequetly mentioned. And focus on LG since LG is getting harder and your LR situation is good.
