score drop: high 170s to low 170s

hi! posted this on the new forum as well, but in case it didn't cross-post:

looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

    What's your raw score across all these PTs? (i.e. how many correct answers do you have on each PT)

    Take it from me, even if it doesn't feel like it, you are burnt out. Overpreparation is real. Let yourself have some Touch Grass time over the next few weeks, don't touch 7sage for at least a week, then come back with fresh eyes. I promise you'll be pleasantly surprised. Good luck!

    TBH taking time off/away when a looming test date is ahead is the most difficult thing...

    The more recent tests are more difficult.

    random variation around the mean + scaled scores on unofficial tests not necessarily realistic
