Hi there! I was hoping to get some feedback on what my course of action should be. I have been studying for the LSAT for about 2.5 weeks now. I have finished the Powerscore LR bible, and LR coursework (minus a few drills that I left to keep going back to and practicing throughout my studying). I am working through the RC bible and coursework right now. My diagnostic was a 150 and I need to get a 165 for a special program I am applying to. My most recent PT, 146, this past Sunday, was untimed with the experimental section. I got a 155. The week before I did an untimed non experimental PT (106) and go a 158. My time over is about 2-5 minutes for LR and 10 minutes for RC.
I have been studying about 5-6 hours a day with one off day on Saturday.
My question is, if I am taking my LSAT in Septemeber, should I try to get a tutor in order to reach the goal I have? If I do not score a 165 I may not get into the program. I have a backup LSAT for November, but I am hoping to apply early in on the cycle. A further comment I have is that I am finding about 50% of the wrong answers I am getting are between two choices. I found the Powerscore podcast about this, but it is frustrating because after the fact I can explain exactly why the right answer is right for 90% of them, but on the actual practice tests I am struggling to discern between convincing wrong answers and right answers. I will be having about a week between now and my test where I will not be able to study or PT at all and so I am a bit nervous to make sure I can get where I need to be.
Thank you! :)

I think you should retake the previous LSAT exams yourself. The structure may be the same. The context of each sentence may change.
