"The LSAT writers, they can tell any story they want [...] but they decide that it's a child, playing the worst game ever in the history of games, according to rules that we have trouble understanding, that apparently this child is supposed to be able to follow." https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-50-section-3-game-4/
I wouldn't try to study 48 hours a week with a demanding job (burnout is real). As the previous comment said, your familiarity with the material from your prior class is a great sign! I'd target what you've had trouble with and take as many PrepTests as possible.
I was in a very similar boat about a month ago. From the problem you described, it sounds like you might just need to practice and review more grouping games to gain comfort.
Based on my experience, I think some ways to improve could be:
Making sure you're totally comfortable with in/out games; I see those as a necessary building block for proficiency with grouping
Fool-proofing the grouping games in the course curriculum. So, repeating them until you can do them accurately and in the recommended time
Doing problem sets that are basically just the LG section of PTs (which you can do by making a custom problem set from the question bank). For me, a big part of my weakness in LG was managing my time when having to do 4 different types of games in 35 minutes. So this helped me get used to doing the non-grouping games more quickly, and then having more time to spend on grouping. I think it also helped to manage any LG anxiety I had when taking the full length test.
I hope this was helpful!
I've never self-studied before, and I'm struggling with pacing myself. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on:
I realize that everyone learns differently, but any tips or ideas on pacing would be deeply appreciated!
