You said "why not?" and I'm like "why not what?"

What I would do to start is pickup this and other such books. Understanding the structure of arguments and basic logic from those books. Then I recommend signing up for 7Sage and proceeding through the course. Do all this at a moderate pace and take notes. Develop a habit of reading like The Economist or Foreign Affairs, law reviews, stuff like that. Don't take a diagnostic, that's fucking dumb.

After completing the 7Sage course, break a PT into its sections and do them one at a time untimed. Then do the same thing timed. Then slowly start taking a couple PTs, blind review them (7Sage will explain what this is). See how you feel about the various sections after ~3 PTs. If you feel particularly weak in a section, seek other sources of information from books, like PowerScore, Manhattan Prep, Blueprint. I don't recommend LSAT Trainer, I don't know why everyone else on here likes it.

Once you gain an understanding of the logic you need to employ, alternate between PTing and doing untimed sections to hone your process. I don't believe in question type drilling unless you develop a new method/process for handling one of the questions and you need to ingrain it.

Also, once you're decent at LG (like, averaging -2 or -3 per LG section), check out Manhattan Prep's LG challenge and buy Ace Logic games book. These are semi-secret weapons to really help bolster your LG skills. Ace Logic games will raise your threshold for what you consider difficult for LG, and after doing a few of its sections, the LG sections of most actual LSATs will seem fairly easy.

That's a broad overview of my advice, as someone whose average on their last ~13 PTs is ~178.
