Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to reply back, I really appreciate it. I learned a lot of about my study routine that I need to improve on and make changes to. Reviewing better and taking prep tests are things I’m going to start doing.

Thanks again, and good luck on the test!!

I'm very confused about negation statements because I thought those were wrong. Wouldn't that be a mistaken negation from a conditional statement? When you fail to reverse the variables and only negate them? I thought there were two invalid ways to make an inference which are mistaken reversal and mistaken negation but I see that negating statements are used all the time. I thought we only needed to do the contrapositive? And I thought that doing this wrong would lead to the wrong answer choice but I see you negating statements all the time and getting them right. I've seen it in your other videos so I'm just very confused. Should I always be looking for two possible answer choices then? The contrapositive statement and the negation? SO that means that negation statements are not wrong? I read this from another source and learned that mistaken negation and reversal are always wrong so seeing negation here on 7sage is new information for me that's why I'm confused

Daily Schedule Tips?

I am currently studying 20 hours a week, and I take one or two days off. Each study session goes between 3-5 hours, sometimes I go more than that. This is how my study days typically looks like:

M: Drill 2-3 games and review

T: Drill 2-3 games and review

W: R.C and L.R (drill 10-15 questions), review my answers

Th: finish reviewing my answers from the previous day if I didn't finish. Then drill more L.R and R.C

F: Drill one logic game, 10 L.R and R.C

S: Review my answers and drill the three sections again.

S- Rest

I've been studying since May and I don't see that I am improving at Logic Games and I honestly feel so discouraged. From May-July I spent my time reading some books to learn about the different questions types and worked through some problems but I wasn't actively drilling, I was just reading mostly about the LSAT and using the Powerscore Bibles. It wasn't until August that I started drilling and practicing almost every day. I do review the core concepts and question types, things I learned earlier in my study, but it's been two months of drilling and I feel like I am not improving :/

I haven't done any practice tests because I want to get comfortable with my drilling first and getting my answers right before I take any practice tests. I am doing good with R.C, and L.R I am alright but conditional rules is confusing to me still. Some days I get almost all of my L.R answers and others I don't. L.G I absolutely suck doesn't matter how much I study. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to study L.G every day? Or is this just part of the process and maybe I am being too harsh? I feel like I somewhat wasted my time just reading the core concepts first during those three months of my LSAT study maybe I should've drilled more, I don't know.... I am taking my test on January. If anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate.
