I usually take a timed PT and then do the whole PT again untimed (BR all questions). Afterwards I review the answers for all questions using LSAT Analytics. For explanations, I use JY's videos for the questions I got wrong in the BR, and I use Manhattan for the questions I got right. This process is taking hours upon hours.
I want to do 2 PTs a week but that's not happening with this process with a 3-4 hours/day LSAT study time allocation. I also desire to drill LR and follow @pacifico LG drilling technique.
Your advice is very appreciated

I am hoping for December.
When are you planning on sitting for the LSAT?
Thank you very much @974 and @gs556950 . I was doing PTs in order but now will be skipping a 10 then repeat, what do you say? Like I will be doing 41, 51, 61, 71 then 42 etc etc. Am I wasting PTs this way? I feel I still need to hone down fundamental so I am a bit worried.
I applaud your discipline and dedication to reviewing, but I would advise a more efficient approach to reviewing. The process I recommend is:
1) As you are taking the PT the first time, circle the questions which you do not feel mastery over.
2) During review, focus only on the questions you circled.
I think this approach would help concentrate your review sessions and help avoid burn-out.
Keep up the great work!
Yeah especially in LG you shouldn't be circling very many at all since LG lends itself to a much greater degree of certainty than LR and RC. I'd shoot for less than 50 circled and make your way down from there. Once you get into the 160s and are circling 20 or less you need to pull back on the 100% certainty so that 90% or even a bit less than that will get you through so you can reach single digit Questions to BR.
Thank you @lpadr009465
Thank you @974 :) I will do that on my next PT. If I can circle less than 100 questions then that's a win ;) Hopefully the number will go down gradually.
Guilty as charged. :-(
BRing the whole test might sound like a good idea but I think it's a waste of time because you don't learn as much about the mistakes you can make due to confidence errors and the like. Plus there is really no need to BR the incredibly easy questions that you get right and know you did with 100% certainty. Just circle the ones you're not certain of, then try to reduce that number and you should see more progress. Otherwise you'll be prepping for 2 years minimum and I think that's overkill.
I mean, the more thorough the review...the better I actually find it enviable you have the diligence to spend hours upon hours on a test. The point to all this is thst you understand 100% the correct answers, which seems like you are doing. If you find that time is a big issue, maybe do 1 pt a week
