The biggest thing that I noticed was that you took the two most recent ones back to back, one today and then one the day before which could suggest burnout. Also did you throughly review all of your wrong answers from the one two days ago before taking the most recent one? Like physically write out why each answer choice is wrong and why the right one is right, what the gap is, why you got it wrong like what tripped you up. If you're not reviewing before taking a new one then you're not learning anything you're just reinforcing bad habits. What helped me was to make a drill of my weakest tags from each section (like conditional, flaw, etc) after reviewing it and put what I just learned from my review into practice. I hope this helps!
what i'm getting from this is that you probably have the main ideas down but the hardest questions are getting you. answering hard (like level 4-5) LR questions is totally different than the other ones, they often have specific traps and require different thinking. you should try to drill the hardest questions and focus on the ones you typically get wrong, once you master the hardest LSAT questions the rest of them feel like a joke. the book LR perfection helped me w/ this (not an ad lol) but I think focusing on the hardest questions and the difference in strategy for them will help you most
