I purchased all 6 official online practice tests and I got 750, 760, 770, 780, 770, 780. However, when I took the real test, I scored a 740, which was lower than I wanted. I know my practice median was 770 and they say it can be +/- 30, but I'd really like to be on the upper side of that range when I retake.
Specifically, on the real exam, I found myself struggling on reading comprehension (something that I've never struggled with on practice tests) - I was taking a long time to answer those questions, and the passages were a lot longer and the questions were more difficult than what I saw on the practice tests. Usually critical reasoning is the time-intensive part for me, so I can't afford to spend too much time on RC questions. Any suggestions would be great!

I am sure you did not just happen to score 750+ on the practice tests ... or did you? I mean you somehow got to 750+ on practice tests ... why not use the approaches that got you there? I can see potentially practicing using the LSAT RC's.... my suggestion for RC as a strategy is to try to save up as much time as you can on the SC's and CR's. I hit a ceiling wiht my RC, so instead, I focused on SC and CR to cut my timing there.
P.S. The tests 3-6 are not as precise as 1 and 2 since there are very few questions in those exam packs so those scores tend to be not as precise. Also, there is a variance in the scores between practice scores and test scores. At least 40 points.
