When I began studying for the LSAT I was missing -20 or something ridiculous of the LG section.
It was by far my worst section and I had that same problem as I went through the LG Bible. I started to get so discouraged by LG, I started to accept that on game day I would miss at least 12. So that means I had to go -0 on everything else. I remember I'd get good at a game and then the next one would be a whole new battle. Thats when I found the fool proof method. Let me explain why it is different and why it works...
By using the fool proof method you get a lot of practice memorizing inferences. You'll start to see that a lot of games are very similar and the same inferences / set ups you commit to memory end up being very helpful. Because although the game will be "new" you will have done one just like it and remember the inferences!
Also, I'm not sure if you used 7Sages for LG, I know many people watch the free videos. I always used to and it helped a lot. However, I would always hear JY reference the lessons if we were having trouble with something or were too slow in your set up. Well one day I decided to check those lessons out. It was the best LSAT decision I made to be honest. And if you're having trouble with LG like I was, I'd say check those free videos out and see if you like the way JY solves the games. If you do, check out the lessons in the course. If you already have a good way of solving the games, I'd still recommend using the fool proof method to a perfect logic games score.
Just remember to give yourself time and make sure you have a good handle on logic. This way you can diagram rules without even having to think about it.
I think it is best to start with simple linear and work up to advanced linear. It's the natural progression anyways. And then after you have a good hold on the linear games, move to grouping. Grouping tends to be the most challenging for a lot of folks and require many of the skills you'll cultivate learning the linear ordering games.
Something I like to do that helped me get better was to only watch how JY sets up the problem/diagrams the game. Then I would try to see if I could solve it and figure out the rest on my own. Eventually I'd go back and watch it to make sure I did it all right, but it did help me to figure it out on my own a bit faster doing it that way.
Besides all of the great advice you're getting from the smart people above (and possibly below) me, there's also Pacifico's LG Strategy: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737
As far as drilling, a big part of the challenge of games is identifying the game type and knowing how to set up your game board. So I'd recommend just drilling each type until you're comfortable and then switching to whole sections. If you haven't already found them, make sure to check out the 7Sage explanations on YouTube. They're much more powerful in tandem with the curriculum, but hey, free explanations for every LG ever. They're also a great preview of the teaching style for if you have given any consideration to joining 7Sage.
Furthermore, I would advise that you focus on linear games for now because they're usually the easiest. Once you're more familiar with how rules work together, then move onto grouping and others.
When I first started doing logic games, I had no idea how to do them at all. After lots of practice and repetition, I now finish game sections in about 25 minutes (always under 30min).
If you can provide me with your thought process for a game, I can give you more specific advice in areas you're lacking in.
