Plateauing at 163 with June test coming up, anyone else hit a wall?

Last 5 PTs have been 162, 163, 161, 164, 163. I cannot break through. I'm drilling every day, obsessively using the wrong answer journal, and it feels like nothing is moving the needle anymore. Has anyone actually broken through a plateau like this? Starting to wonder if I should just accept the 163 and apply or keep pushing for June.

Reapplicant here. That was me last year, you can't game/hack progress. Nothing beats consistency and discipline and the point jumps will come. Just know your score jumps get less dramatic as you approach the 170 mark, and your PTs aren't necessarily indicative of likely official score. Don't get discouraged, just plan for reality. You're doing the right things, don't get in your head about temporary score trends.
