Very confused on how to continued from here, also any tips from going from mid 160s to mid 170s?

I have completed 3 practice tests scoring mid 150s on the latest 2 and all my BR scores have been consistently around 165. There were clearly question types I needed work on which I did but after my latest practice test no pattern among wrong answers emerged. Most of my wrong answers when I do an analysis come down to the fact that I did not understand what I read. How do I improve upon this? Furthermore I'm looking to get my BR score to mid 170s before focusing on the timing of the test any tips on how to do that?

Not sure exactly what would help you the most, but what has helped me with understanding is to take a pencil to the screen and trace along the passage as you read. This will force you to see each word. Then think about how it connects to the past sentence and how it will probably continue into the next sentence. Lastly, just remembering that all LSAT questions are designed to be able to be understood by someone in under two minutes, so when something feels crazy complex, most the time it is just something little you are missing. It makes it feel a little less scary that way, at least for me.

i was in a similar situation not too long ago. what helped me push my BR to 170 was slowing down a lot during my review: paraphrasing each sentence, predicting the answer before making a choice, and really understanding why every wrong choice was wrong. however i am wondering if every RC passage graded on the LSAT now has a comparison passage? still waiting for an answer at https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/39722/lsat-hackSprunki Retake
