I found using the loophole by Ellen Cassidy very helpful for developing strategies to quickly eliminate wrong answer choices. Since the lsat gives you very little time to answer each question, this book outlines each question type by categorizing questions based on a spectrum of powerful and provable question types. I found her explanations of these different question types super helpful because it allowed me to spot key words and phrases in the answer choices that helped me automatically eliminate wrong answers. The book also touches on very detailed strategies for categorizing flaws and designing loopholes to spot the flaws. Overall, I would say this book is awesome if you are really struggling on how to approach questions and develop skills to spot wrong answers.
I also think the lsat is based more on strategy and learning a new skill, which takes time. I do not think a lower lsat should make you think you cannot achieve a high score. If you have time, I also highly recommend doing the comprehensive lsat course on 7sage. It took me three months to complete it while working a full time job, but I felt the time was well spent because I felt I truly understood the general outline of the test and what to expect.
If I got it right on the BR and I am confident in why my answer was wrong, I use the written explanations. If I have no idea why I missed the question or if I did not understand the meaning of the question, I will use the video explanation. Between the two of them, I use the written explanations most during my study time.
