LG is KILLING me. Is there any hope for Saturday? Forum

I very recently began timing my practice sessions to prep for the LSAT and I'm struggling so hard with the LG. I don't have this problem on other sections. I usually finish them with about ten minutes left over. I haven't been checking my work with that extra time right now and I'm averaging -3 on RC and -7 on LR (and getting better every day).
But my LG is bad. So so bad. Like 15 unanswered questions bad. I'm pretty accurate, but it takes me so so long to think through the problems that I only get through one or two sets before my time is up. Even with this awful situation, my last PT was a 160. I'm shooting for at or close to 170+. Is there hope for an aha moment/any strategies I can use to survive?

Honestly, not this late in the game. If you are taking 35 minutes to roll through 2 games or less, that is a serious issue that needs to combated through breaking down your habits and starting from scratch.

I've got two logic game books I've worked through but I suppose to be fair, it's just not very intuitive to me. I'm getting things correct but sometimes I just don't "get" it. It is so frustrating because I know it's the easiest section to improve - If I felt rock solid on them, I'd be really confident about it!

Here is something that was shared with me a while ago. I have not really stuck to it, but that was an error on my part. Before I do though I would say that this prob. requires a good deal of trial, just so you can get use to the unique approach that it gives. I'm about to start doing it this way, and I'm not sure how I will do, but it can't be much worse then what i've been doing. The times I have done it, it' worked pretty well. It just takes a minute to get use to. Try it out and see what you think. Let's be honest, the test is this Saturday, so i don't don't know how much this could help in 7 days, but I think there certainly could be a benefit, and most certainly by December. The instructor who suggested this method is Clearly, and while he does not take credit for this approach, he articulates it in a clear way.. It's almost like a mini LG class. Here is the link, hopefully it can be helpful:

Postpone to December then diligently still using 7Sage. Don't be foolish and sit this weekend.
