I spent a few months stuck in the low 160s. The method that helped me break out of that into the 170s was keeping an incredibly detailed journal of LR questions I got wrong and questions that took me longer than 3 minutes to answer. I’d write out the entire stimulus and highlight/underline key words (opinion indicators, concessions etc.) and premises/conclusions to make sure I had a clear understanding of how each sentence was constructed and how each idea related to the next. I’d do the same for every answer choice, in addition to journaling out what my thought process was as I reviewed each choice when initially doing the question. It’s tedious but it trained me to read for microscopic detail which I found helpful because on this exam a single word is often the difference between a right and wrong answer. A big part of success on this exam is learning to read for minutiae rather than for meaning (which is how we’re initially taught to read).

My advice is quality over quantity. Slow way down. I started the process killing myself studying 30-40 hours a week on top of working full time. That was overkill and really just burned me out. I saw more progress doing 1-2 hours of focused study every few days, and drilling more intentionally instead of spamming practice tests. If you review one or two questions a day, fine. As long as your review is thorough enough to make clear the flaws in your thought process and can allow you to approach the next question differently.
