When I can't focus, I take a break. I give myself a set amount of time to let me mind wander. If I don't take a break then I'll switch up my study method. For example, if I'm doing practice drills and my mind is elsewhere, I may stop practicing and watch an instructional video instead. Also, I've started drinking coffee and it's really helping me feel more energetic which is also helping with my study sessions.
I watched a couple of strategy videos on youtube and I felt like that was enough for me. On test day I felt pretty comfortable because I watched videos and I enjoy writing anyway. If you're like me you should be fine. If you don't like writing too much, it might be helpful to practice with a prompt.
I'm discouraged because of my January score. I was extremely sick at the time (with Covid) and my score is much lower than I was making on my practice tests. I'm already signed up to retake for the February exam, which is in 10 days, because I want to apply to law school before the March 15th priority deadline. But now I'm doubting myself and rethinking everything and thinking maybe I should wait and retest in the Fall and apply for the next cycle. I just really wanted to go to law school this Fall...
I recommend changing your test date to January or February to give yourself time to study. You can still get into law school next year with a January or February LSAT. Once you change your test date, take a diagnostic test to see your strengths and weaknesses and then go forward from there. I started studying logic games first.
