Look up Cambridge packets.

the thing is I own all 10 Actuals so IDK if it'd be smart to purchase the packets....or should I still do it?

The packets are well worth the money. They're separated by question TYPE. As in for LR, you'll get a packet of all Must Be True questions, and another packet of just parallel reasoning questions.

I agree entirely, but I thought they stopped selling these?

Depends. Earlier on in your studies, you shouldn't be timing because that just creates unnecessary pressure when you're trying to get the fundamentals down. As you progress it's important to start incorporatin timing into your drilling, if not restricting yourself to the limit of the clock then at least to see how long it takes you to do any particular question/game/passage. Timing is especially important for drilling games once you know how to handle them, and JY on 7Sage gives approximate times you should be finishing games in which is a good resource. I find timed LR drilling difficult to manage since, unlike games, they're self contained and the Cambridge packets aren't organized in a way conducive to seeing how you'd perform on a represententative 35 minute LR section. I recommend timing with LR just be done with full sections once you are well into your studying.

I don't have any particular advice for timing RC aside from, like LR, taking them as full sections from full practice tests since there's no standard to measure your time against for them and timing requirements for them change based on the difficulty of the passage itself and the number and difficulty of the accompanying questions.

Great. Thanks a lot

LSAC stopped allowing the sale of PDF test/questions versions.

That's a shame... these were some of the most effective materials

I believe you can still purchase hard-copies from Cambridge, but they're not nearly as convenient.
