It depends. The difference in your score matters- if you previously got -2/-3, then that’s not a huge improvement. Are the errors the same ones you had before? Or new ones? Did you feel confident in the answers you previously got wrong and were corrected?
Importantly, there’s a chance seeing the questions pretty recently predisposed you to better remember the answers, so it may not be a great point of reference beyond. I’ve tried to put 3+ months between shared sections and even then, probably more. But that’s just me, I don’t know what is recommended
I had similar issues myself. Focus less on the clock. You’re trying to speed through and finish early, which means you’re missing things you likely otherwise could’ve gotten correct. Slow down and focus on getting everything you answer right. As you do that, you’ll get better with the question structures naturally because you’re forcing yourself to throughly understand each question and answer, and speed will follow. Try more drilling/untimed sections to build up your base.
Tiger - Not all fruit trees can be grown in your garden. Mangoes require a much warmer climate than your yard can provide
Disney: Georgia rents her home and just bought a pet. To have a pet in a rented home, it must be under 20lbs and have an inspection from the landlord unless it is a fish. Georgia did not receive an inspection from her landlord, so she must have bought a fish.
Cat: There are eggs on the ground by the tree and a nest above it. A female cuckoo bird is nearby, and it is cuckoo laying season, so she could have just laid an egg. The cuckoo laid an egg in the nest and pushed out the other eggs to make room for hers.
If you’re doing well on untimed but not timed, then you need to learn to ignore the clock. Work at your own pace. imo it is better to take your time and get everything you try right + guess on the unfinished ones when the 5min warning comes on vs rushing through it and potentially making more mistake.
I also think it may be helpful to review your questions the same day/day after instead of so much later. It’ll be fresher in your mind and you’ll be able to better reference your original line of reasoning. I use a review checklist to make sure I understand: Why did I pick X answer? Why was it wrong? Why did I eliminate Y answer? Why id it right?
Have a strong prediction when you can going in. If you understand the argument and the question, create a simply worded prediction. Ideally one answer will fit it best. Confusing wording is part of the lsat, it is important to remember a lot of times that is intentional to throw it off. Every detail matters. Read carefully and understand each choice entirely. You should actively try to poke holes in each one. I know the approach changes slightly from question type to question type, but the principle still stands
If you haven’t really made progress in a year, something needs to change about your studying. It may be worth trying some different resources. Ultimately everyone has different learning styles. I have had friends have great luck with LSAT Demon. I’m still studying myself, but find it helpful to take sections alongside a buddy and review together so we can help each other understand our mistakes. I’m happy to do the same with you if you’d like!
