Based on what you described, the place I would start is by building a more structured, repeatable process for approaching each question. The goal is to create much greater consistency from question to question by giving you a clear framework for when and how to apply the concepts you've already learned.
Within that framework, we'd then build the specific analytical skills the LSAT requires. That includes things like recognizing passage parts and reasoning methods, controlling the reasoning chain, understanding what each question type is asking you to accomplish, and applying the appropriate answer process to the answer choices. Those are skills that have to be deliberately learned and practiced, and once they begin working together, students usually start earning points much more consistently under timed conditions.
Your blind review also tells me that there's probably another opportunity here. I'd want to identify exactly where your execution is breaking down under time pressure—whether that's timing discipline, decision-making, answer-choice evaluation, or something else—and then target those issues directly.
I've helped a number of students make similar jumps, and I think your goal is a realistic one. My LSAT score was 30 years ago, but I've been teaching students the art of LSAT Reading Comp and Logical Reasoning for the past 15 years. My rate is $80/hour, and I also offer a discounted bulk package if you decide you'd like to work together longer term.
If you want to DM, we can discuss specifics like your timeline and current preparation and how I'd approach your situation.
