do you consistently get those last few questions wrong? and are you skipping questions? if you spend too much time on the time sinks, you may miss more questions in the long run, even if you get those time consuming ones correct.
always for games and for a few questions of LR
I love these! Also to add:
Wear shoes while studying: I can't remember where I first learned this but it helps so much to keep from getting too relaxed and I think it tricks my brain into thinking in I'm in "on the go" mode or something.
I also have found it very helpful to take practice tests in a different room, not at my desk in my bedroom. My apartment has small study rooms with literally nothing but a table and chairs, and I've also been able to sneak into an empty office at my dad's work on the weekends. I plan to take my official test in one of those two spots. No chance of getting flagged because there is literally nothing in the room and it feels more official to go somewhere different and have none of my familiar comforts around.
Also, really want to echo the point about accommodations. I had a bit of an ego about getting them at first, but it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Also highly recommend experimenting with medication strategies if you take any. I have found which windows of the day I do best during and prioritize studying during those times when I can.
If you have completed the basics as far as LR question types and at least started games, I would recommend taking a few PTs to see where you are at. Use those as a barometer to decide if you should push back or stay in for June. For what it's worth, I started taking PTs when I hit the 50% mark.
I felt similar to you at one point. I recommend not doing all the drills, and saving some for later when you feel like your memory or skill on a certain LR question type is fading. But the issue you're describing is pretty unique to LR. The CC for games and RC builds more and is less distinct by q type, because of the general nature of the section types. I think long term you'll be surprised by how much you remember, but saving some drills especially once you hone in on your weaker spots is a good idea. Hope this helps and don't give up yet!
@ maybe a better accommodation for you would be extra breaks instead of extended time
