I'm registered for the September LSAT (took April) and I'm doing fine on sections (anywhere from -5 to -3 usually) and when I drill specific question types that I struggle with on the sections on their own, I usually get 100% correct! I think it might just be a stamina issue? I do worse typically on full length tests than on individual sections which is why I think that might be the problem. I don't struggle with time (usually end with around 5-6 minutes that I use to review difficult questions).. lmk if anyone has any advice/tips that I could use to nail this down in the next couple weeks!

It depends if the drills are too easy for you. They do adapt the level of the drills to be motivating for you, but of course the sections are just the raw sections.
You can do targetted drilling on the tags that you struggle most with. One thing I do sometimes is set the answers to let me know immediately if I'm right or wrong after each question. This is just for quick feedback and training if its a new question type for me.
To me it sounds like maybe issues identifying question types when they’re all mixed together? When you drill specific question types you know exactly how to go about each question before you even read the question stem, but in a normal section there’s naturally going to be a mix and you need to take time to read each question stem and understand what it’s asking. Maybe practice identifying question types and how to tackle them when you’re presented with them randomly? Even having flash cards with possible question stems and then determining what kind of question it is and how to tackle may be helpful!
