Working through the Cambridge logic game packets, roughly following PithyPike's method of doing some new games per day while repeating prior ones and I've been seeing improvement. Besides a confidence boost, my timing is improving as my approach becomes more efficient. Repetition really is key; that's when you begin to see patterns and develop strategy in response.

I'm not a retaker - I studied for the LSAT a few years ago before I chickened out last minute. Because of this, I've already read the relevant books and know the general strategies and approach to the sections, so I was able to dive directly in the PT materials I own.

My studying has been mostly on taking individual sections and not really taking full, 5-section PTs. I've been doing about 2-3 sections every weekday, 3-4 on weekends, every day, since about mid/late-January. As of right now, I'd hazard a guess that I'm about a third of the way through the materials, but since I'm saving about 10 full PTs to do in the 6 weekends prior to the actual test, I think I'll have exhausted the rest of my materials by mid-April.
Do you do any drilling or do you just do PT sections? Also do you blind review?
It is very beneficial to reuse materials. I've seen some questions 4 times now and it helps to build pattern recognition, which is super helpful on this test.

I definitely do blind review, and I mostly just do PT sections. Forgive me for not knowing, but what exactly do you mean by drilling?

Practicing groups of questions by type in order to better learn the methods to solve that type.

How do you set up your materials to practice for that? Do you cut out questions out of older preptests and group them?

Cold diagnostic 1 month ago:
151

Current (as of a couple hours ago):
162

Obvious things I can improve on:
1. LG. If I had scored 21-22/22 on LG I would have scored 165-166 on the practice test.
2. I need to implement mixed LR drilling. My accuracy is significantly lower when I'm not dealing with one question type at a time. I expected this to be the case and already have plans to deal with this issue.

This is from a combined 50-60 hours of work on the entire LSAT. Majority on LR, some on LG, and almost none on RC. In terms of hours I'd say I'm about 15% done my preparation for the June test.

Your diagnostic score is the exact same that I got originally - and your current score is very close to mine as well. Keep it up!

I use the cambridge packets. http://www.cambridgelsat.com/bundles/
You can get them as a bundle with PTs or if you have all the PTs already then you can just get the sets of questions grouped by type. It is highly recommended to drill by question type.

You can buy the packets from Cambridge LSAT. That's the way most people go about. It'll be a huge help to you.
