Do you guys have any other way to practice questions other than the drills?

I find that right now I'm really trying to strengthen my weak areas through the classes and trying questions in the drills. But for certain areas like AP, theres only 60 or so questions that are in the drills, and I feel like I will exhaust them really quickly. I'm having trouble finding any alternatives :(

    This isn't exactly what you asked for, but I have suggestions on how to approach drills in different ways.

    One of the neat things about the LSAT is that you can take the stimulus for some LR questions and practice a different question-type on it. For instance, take the stimulus for a MP question and use it for AP; work through each sentence, identifying context, premise(s), and conclusion. This allows you to practice AP beyond AP-specific questions. You can make this as easy or as you'd like - for instance a 5-star MP question/stimulus will make it more difficult to identify the relationship between and purpose of each sentence.

    The other thing is to make sure that you're properly reviewing your drills. If you do this, it's harder to run through drills quickly since you spend an overall larger amount of time on questions (drilling 1-2 minutes / question + REVIEW 3-10+ minutes). You can review old drills to make sure you understand them / reinforce your thought process and approach.

    Write a Wrong Answer Journal.
    I guarantee you can spend up to 30 minutes just dissecting an answer. It will help you see where you went wrong the first time around and why the right answer is correct. I have been doing this even before I watch the explanation video on that question so I can compare my reasoning to JY's. Then you can revisit your journal once in a while, try to do those questions from scratch, without looking at your notes, and try to see if your reasoning for selecting an answer changed. If so, what part of that reasoning changed? Is the new reasoning wrong, is it correct or does it just complement your previous reasoning?
