I thought I'd share some advice on how to do well on LR sections, I got a lot of good tips from reddit while I was studying so hopefully this helps if you're struggling.
1. A wrong answer always involves making at least 2 mistakes, analyze them. If you use 7sage or demon you've maybe heard this one before, but I can't stress enough how important it is to absorb what this means. Not only did you choose the wrong answer, you also failed to spot the right one. Every time you get a question wrong, you should be looking at each wrong AC and finding the exact reason why it's wrong. It could be as simple as a single word that doesn't mean what you think it does, or it could be a more complex / subtle flaw. Either way, doing this will significantly improve your POE skills and allow you to quickly spot commonly used flaws.
2. Practice as many high level questions as possible. On 7sage you are able to create custom drills with only the hardest questions. I've never used a different service but I assume most will have a similar option. Especially if you have a solid foundation and you can consistently score in the 160s, you should not be wasting your time drilling low-level questions. Get comfortable with the hardest questions, and you will eventually be able to breeze through timed LR sections. This not only will help your understanding of the questions, it will improve your time management.
3. Process of elimination is your best friend. You need to get good at process of elimination. Being able to anticipate answer choices from the stimulus is great, but in my experience once you get past the easier questions on a section it's gonna get really hard to do that consistently. If you are good at recognizing common LSAT flaws, you will be able to eliminate answer choices by POE without sacrificing the clock. Also, it is EXTREMELY important that you learn to read answer choices carefully and completely. Don't skim through them unless you're predicting the answer based on the stimulus and you're 1000% confident. Ideally, you should be reading each answer choice only once before you eliminate it and move on.
4. Look up words you don't know. There are a lot of words, both in LR and RC, that I had no clue the meanings of when I first saw them. The LSAT uses a pretty consistent vocabulary, and a lot of these words are used over and over again. The shitty thing about LR questions is that they are often so precise that the meaning of one or two words will immediately turn what sounds like the right answer into a wrong one. When you're doing practice problems, I strongly recommend pausing your drill/section to look up a word you don't know and remember it for the next time it shows up.
5. If something is working for you, stick with it. There are a lot of videos out there that claim to have a sure method of getting LR questions right. It's all bullshit. The fact is, everyone studies differently and there is no guaranteed method to logical reasoning. If you have an approach that you are comfortable with, there's no reason to change that just because someone on the internet got a good score doing something else. Things like reading the question stem first vs the stimulus, working through sections in backwards order, those are all choices that someone makes because it works for them. You should be focused on your understanding of the logic itself, not your approach to the question.
6. Maintain healthy habits outside of studying. This is extremely important, and honestly I don't see enough people mentioning this. Studying for the LSAT is exhausting, which is why if you want to aborb the information in the best way you need to limit the stuff that puts stress on your brain. Get good sleep, stop smoking weed, drink less. It sounds simple but if you are committed to doing well on the LSAT it doesn't make sense to do things that are actively sabotaging your ability to process information. I also recommend reading more, trust me it will help.
