I spoke with LSAC rep today and they said they will make a decision about July LSAT by May 28th
Are you using Safari? I had trouble scheduling on Safari. Try using Firefox browser. I was able to schedule through Firefox.
I echo Law and Yoda's advice above: making any big life decision will require some introspection about your reasons for doing so. Have you taken any time off between undergrad and now? Is law school what you really want to do, or is it a default path? Are there external pressures that are impacting your thinking?
Also, at the risk of sounding sacrilegious, could it be perhaps the 7Sage curriculum is not a great fit for your particular learning style? Have you tried any other LSAT study materials/resources? As an educator, I know that not all students learn in the same way, or can connect to the material, if the pedagogical approach doesn't match the student's way of processing information. For example, I first did the Mike Kim LSAT book and improved maybe a few negligible points. My score went up drastically with 7Sage. My score actually went down several points after reading Ellen Cassidy Loophole, even though many people swear by the book. JY's theoretical framework of explaining everything through "relationships" really clicked with me, and that made all the difference in comprehending the material. It was like going from moving blindly through the forest to having a map with which to navigate. If nothing else, try to see if you can find material that really makes it "click" for you. And also give yourself time to let the material "soak" in your brain.
Lastly, don't to be too hard on yourself, regardless of everything...the world is experiencing a pandemic, and you state that you began studying this past May. The stress of the global situation might be wearing on you more than you realize. Take time to take care of yourself. There will always be law school, whether it's now or in the future. And if not law school, there is always something else, too. It may not feel like it now, but you'll have a future with or without the LSAT.

Did it sound like they were leaning towards to Flex?
No, LSAC rep did not provide info if July exam will also be Flex format. But, I do know that the university that is/was supposed to be my test site for the July exam is holding all of its summer courses online and all on-site events have been cancelled as well, so I suspect that they will not be allowing groups of any kind in their buildings for the next few months at least.
