I think you should give yourself a break give yourself like a two week break.... go on some hikes/bike rides/ dance it out. Do something physical get out of your house. Put the study material away and out of sight don't even think about the LSAT don't allow anyone to mention it to you -tell them you're taking a mental break.
When you do come back, if you're like me and think you have a smidge of adhd/add and are a bit antsy and chaotic. Set a small accomplishable amount of studying per day. Quality>Quantity. ( I went from an antsy 2.5- hour mistake riddled studying to a really focused hour - you can even break it up into 25 minute bites) With this you may also want to reconsider your test day.
You should read everything/Watch the videos even the boring lessons , that you may think you know. There are some good explanations and reasonings you may not have accounted for.
Slow down. It's not a race it may feel like it but practice for accuracy , before adding a timed element. Also try studying at a time when you don't have to worry about other commitments.
In addition, don't worry about your score or predicted score, just worry about one question/question type at a time. I would before choosing a program just use my lawhub prep , pick a random Test , untimed and do a section for 1-2 days and then review it after completing the full test it allowed me to see more growth than just using my preptest books.
Mark up your practice sets- come up with a color code system pink=premise, yellow=conclusion, green=support etcetera. It's time consuming but if you find yourself constantly in the same score range its worth it to start here and then ditch the stuff you don't need.
If you have squireel brain try and get medicated. I started taking berberine and l-theanine mushroom supplements I'm not sure if it's placebo or not but my mind feels calmer and I am able to get more in the groove. You could also set a routine of meditating and tea, or lighting a candle - just get into a routine that signifies study time.
