I understand this might be a stupid question, but what is the best way to diagram on the LSAT? I've just started studying Logic Games and I'm diagramming on notebook paper. Since the LSAT is administered digitally and paper isn't allowed, what should I do? I guess writing everything on screen with a mouse doesn't seem that efficient to me.

Direct messaged you. Thanks again.
I'm open to reading any suggestions or input from others as well.
Thanks for trying to gain understanding through additional questions.
When I knew nothing about logic games, I started with 7Sage and sequencing games generally made sense. I followed JY's core curriculum in learning the fundamentals and repeated sequencing games that I completed inefficiently or found confusing. I do struggle with more complex sequencing games.
When I got to grouping games and hybrid games, I had a harder time understanding. This is where I transitioned to LSAT Demon. I then attempted more games on my own without watching any instructional videos. This didn't work because I either didn't know how to set the games up, or I made a mess doing them incorrectly.
I didn't want to solidify my incorrect methods and poor skills, so I shifted my approach more towards watching videos before attempting a logic game. The differing approaches that JY and LSAT Demon take left me feeling confused about how to structure/create a setup; that seems like my most immediate hurdle to get over. I do find myself sometimes forgetting rules and getting lost, but I don't mentally misinterpret the meaning them as frequently. I usually understand what a rule means but can struggle to form inferences. I think contrapositives mess me up sometimes as well. When I feel unable to make all the worlds, I think I have a "brute force" tendency.
I apologize for my ambiguity. I'm trying to understand what I don't understand.
I'm having a tough time learning logic games.
I started with 7Sage sequencing and moved to LSAT Demon around the time I got to grouping. JY's explanations are methodical and he seems to go rule by rule, although sometimes I find his methods hard to follow. LSAT Demon has a tendency to solve them by completing all worlds and combining rules logically/intuitively. Overall, the approaches are fairly different. I'm not even sure which methods make the most sense to me.
I understand logic games are known for being the most foreign yet most learnable, but I'm feeling a bit paralyzed. I almost feel more confused as time goes by. I really need to get a grip on these before the LSAT in June.
Does anyone here have suggestions or methods that worked for learning logic games?
Anyone have experience with both 7Sage and LSAT Demon logic games?
I would be especially grateful of advice from anyone who previously struggled with logic games and vastly improved.
I'd greatly appreciate advice on getting LSAT scores to climb as well. Please send me a message.
That's good news, I was under the impression that the LSAC would not allow paper on any portion of the test. I can see how plain white paper would be easier on the eyes too. Thanks.
