Took a baseline, got 165. How feasible is it to get 175+ with 1-2 months of light prep?

Same as above.

Yeah, definitely define what exactly "light prep" is. Obviously anyone who can baseline at 165 probably can hit 175+, but there are many variables that would go into determining how hard that person would have to work.

Light prep as in I'm probably going to be working full-time and self studying for 2-3 hours a day. Sorry, should have clarified.

Light prep = working full-time and self studying for 2-3 hours a day.

That's close to what I did. Did ~10 PTs, a couple books, and lots of LG drills. Once you get every section to about -4 or better, just do as many PTs as you have time for.

Then yes; achieving a 175 is entirely feasible.
Agree totally. That's not light prep in my book. That's right in line with a solid prep, just over a shorter timeframe.
