Can't break 600. Ever. How do you get over this?

An important part of getting over a plateau at any score is to pinpoint your weaknesses. Take a look at your last few CATs and make an error log of each question type and topic (ie CR:assumption), you got wrong and why. Did you get it wrong because of a silly mistake or did you get it wrong because you didn't know how to answer. Then, review the topics you are getting wrong (because you didn't know the answer) the most.

Another important part is pacing. How are you doing on timing? Do you complete each section?
