  I think it depends on a few things: Is a 157 what you're aiming for? If that's the case and you are continuously hitting your goal, than I would just continue taking prep tests (with blind review/explanation vids). If you are wanting something in the 160s, I would continue with the lessons. You can still learn a lot of new info in 6 weeks. I think my advice would be to study the lesson material and work on practice drills Mon-Fri, and then take a full length practice exam on both Saturday and Sunday. You'll get a little bit more lesson info, and you'll go into the exam with 12 more completed practice exams under your belt.

  I am aiming for a 165. I have only completed a few videos from this source. However, I completed the LSAT Trainer book authored by Mike Kim.
  I started investing more time in studying for the LSAT after the Spring semester ended, and since then, my score has improved by about 5 points.
  I will take your advice and focus more on the lessons than the Prep Tests. Especially because I am still getting about 12 wrong on Logic Games.

  Thanks!

  Hi Folks, I also have question:
  I've just began studying for the LSAT. I've taken a few practice tests, and released the spots that is my weakness. Now, should I follow syllabus, or can I go to reading comprehension first, then back to logical reasoning lessons? Here is what I'm trying to understand, how tangible the sections are between one another?

  If you are getting that many incorrect on LGs, I would definitely focus on following the syllabus through that section of the exam. I started off terribly with LGs, but after going over the study material several times and using the fool-proof method with drills every day, I scored 0/2 wrong on my last two prep tests and 165 on the June LSAT (My diagnostic was 154). That isn't my goal score, and I am also taking it in August, but I have seen the most consistent improvement with LG because I focused so heavily on mastering them. This is why utilizing prep test analytics is so crucial. Take advantage of that resource and take drills of the type of game you are struggling with the most until it clicks.
