  I would say try drawing a parallel argument to that stimulus. This first requires extracting the core argument out of the stimulus. Lets say the stimulus went from correlation in the premises to causation in the conclusion. Then based on this and how the stimulus is structured, try writing down a parallel argument for it with a different subject matter. This will help you apply the knowledge you have just learned and solidify it. It also helps put you in LSAT writers shoes so you can better see how they hide an argument behind subject matter and grammar.

  Keep a list of the question types you got wrong. If you got a few of the same type wrong, drill the entire question type. Redoing the problems once or twice will only keep things in your short-term memory, and it will be difficult to translate the concepts you've learned into other questions.

  I agree with this. I also used to cut questions out and put them in a draw then revisit them in a few weeks or so. If I still did not understand them, I would write out explanations.
