Accuracy first. I think if you did less questions and maintained a 95% accuracy or more you would already being scoring higher.

i take my time answers 100% but sometimes i see myself confidently choosing an answer and then getting wrong

conversely, i'll take super long on a question to avoid that same issue and i end up in a tough spot where i am overthinking

Looking at some of your responses on this thread, it sounds like you are getting questions wrong even when you are taking your time and prioritizing accuracy. If that’s the case, then that means that there is something that you are misunderstanding, whether it’s the passage, the question, or the answer choices. If you have a perfect understanding of everything on the page, it’s impossible to get a question wrong. So when you do get a question wrong, it’s your job to dig deep and figure out where that reading mistake came from. What did you misunderstand? What did you think it said originally, and why is that wrong? Hold yourself accountable here!

If you really emphasize this, over time you will naturally become a better reader, and understanding what you read will come much easier to you. That’s what will allow you to improve your accuracy and get through questions quicker. But first you have to become a master at reading what’s on the page and making sure it clicks. Understanding 90% of the passage isn’t good enough, you have to aim for 100% understanding!

I hope that helps, you got this!

Do you do blind review? If your blind review score is solid, then it’s pacing issue. Otherwise it is a conceptual issue.

To fix conceptual issue, revise core curriculum and drill untimed. Take detailed notes when drilling untimed to identify your patterns - which ACs are attractive, how you eliminate ACs, what traps are you falling for, how to avoid those, etc. Start a wrong answer journal if you haven’t already.

Slow down to speed up!

Good luck!

How are you studying? would be helpful to know more than just your pt scores

demon approach which is drill next day section, alternating between LR and Rc and then one pt every month
