How should I proceed with my studies?

Hi, All

I started studying for the LSAT almost a month and a half ago with the goal of taking the Feb. test date, which gives me a sold 4 months. I am willing change to the June date, however, if I do not see prep test scores where I would like them to be (168-170).

I have gone through the LRB, MRC, MLR, and LG (in that order). I still have my Cambridge packets (LR, LG, RC) and Prep test 39-the most recent to go through.

How should I organize the rest of my studies with the packets and prep tests? I definitely need to work on LG the most and probably RC the least (although I do need to practice my timing in that section).

How should I go through the packets? One by one through each LG type, LR type, etc? Or should I mix them up? Should I do them timed? Or untimed?

Also, should I wait to go through all the packets and then do the prep tests? Or should I do them simultaneously?

What have been your most recent PT scores? Do you know what problem-types you're having difficulties with in LR? If so, spend a lot of time drilling those specific problems.

I have yet to take a PT but I did write down the LG and LR types that I have trouble with while I going through the books. For both books, I made a list that essentially orders what problem types I have most trouble with to those I have the least trouble with.

Take a full-test (5 sections, timed) ASAP. You'll know better how to proceed from there.
