Best strategy to get from 160 to 165+ by August?

Long story short--took the LSAT in Nov. 2019 and had a disastrous experience. I had been studying for about 8 months, and PT-ing in the 165+ area.

Had a 4 hour delay and then was given a faulty tablet. I was allowed to take the Dec. 2019 retake offered, but I was really thrown by the whole experience and I think it really affected by mindset. I got a 160, and my applications were late--I sent them in late Jan. Got a good chunk of acceptances and waitlists but didn't feel like I had realized my potential. Decided to retake/reapply in June, but had a death in the family and didn't get to start studying again until beginning of July.

My achilles heel has been LG, always. I usually hit -4/5 on LR sections and -3 on RC but LG is anywhere from -8/-10. It comes down to timing--I've probably spent dozens and dozens of hours drilling games and I've gotten better but I honestly have terrible spatial visualization skills. Given unlimited time I can get -0 on the games but timing kills me.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed trying to determine the best path to get ready to retake in August. My work hours were recently cut, so I'm able to study 4-5 hours a day and more on the weekends. Taking in Oct isn't an option, so I'd appreciate how best to optimize my studying from now until Aug. 29---particularly re: LG.

Thank you!!!
