I'm still in the Foundations section (a little over halfway through it). I thought I was improving my understanding of the formatting of these questions, but the last 4 LSAT test questions that have come up in the Foundations section, I've been completely lost and got all of them wrong because I got frustrated, couldn't map out the sentence structure and just guessed. Prior to studying, when I was taking test questions, I was averaging about 1/2 -3/4 correct, it just feels like I'm not making any progress and now I'm even backsliding. I take the test in February. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because my brain is trying to understand the questions in a different way and it's just not there yet. Maybe it's the transition period? Looking for some advice. :(

Keep going.
I felt like I was getting stupider every day in Foundations, to the point where I starting to question my life choices. Then I finished Foundations at last and started the Logical Reasoning lessons. It clicked! I am now getting more correct answers than wrong ones, and it's actually fun.
Hang in there!
You are exactly right! Your brain is learning new ways of thinking and it won't be good at it immediately. As I worked through the curriculum, I found that some things made sense to me fast and other things took time to cook.
