Hi meltikeb9,
Thanks for the post, and I'm sorry to hear of your frustration! The LSAT is a tough test, and it's not uncommon for students to feel overwhelmed and frustrated while studying! You are certainly not alone, but you can do this.
A few thoughts — I noticed you mentioned taking practice tests and practicing the problems you struggle with, but I didn't see much focus on reviewing those tests and questions, which is key to improvement. So first, I would suggest that you thoroughly spend time reviewing your past tests and questions: what you did right, what you did incorrectly, and what you can improve. You might find these LSAT Blog Posts useful regarding how to take and review practice tests:
If you would like some further advice, I would suggest providing a bit more detail first. I would encourage you to read this blog post: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/need-l ... -help-you/, and use it as a guideline to provide us with some more information. A better sense of your prep history, your strengths, weaknesses, and your test score breakdowns will help us point you in the right direction.
Thanks!
