Patrick,
I apologize, but I just became aware of your followups.
You are scoring quite well, so it is hard to pin down exactly what your issue is. If you are missing Parallel questions, it may be for the same reason you are missing other challenging questions, i.e., you are not pay attention to the language details. The way LSAC makes these questions more difficult is to get more nuanced in how they use language, with modifiers, qualifiers, etc.
On Reading Comp, for Comparative Reading passages focus on where the passages connect. Where you see that they are talking about the same thing, do they agree or disagree. And, also track where they differ, meaning that one of the passages mentions something that the other passage never even talked about (often an application or example of the more general idea expressed in the other passage).
As to games, the fact that you are having such difficulty with grouping games indicates to me that you may not be as strong as you need to be with conditional reasoning. Also, in grouping games, focus on noticing when the rules will close up a group. That's where you'll find your biggest inferences.
I agree that your last full length practice test should be Wednesday, with Thursday to go over it thoroughly. Then take Friday off.
I wish you the best of luck.
Ron
