DEFINITELY stick with the course! When I took the LSATs, I took the Kaplan course. My first day in the class was 3 days after I had returned from my semester in Australia (and I don't think I was fully back on US timing) and had never even looked at an LSAT practice. I took the first diagnostic cold...and didn't do very well. Opposite problem of you--always great at games, but logical reasoning and I had problems forever! Needless to say, from the start of the course to my actual LSAT score...I improved 13 points. Kaplan really helped me pull apart the test and see where to 'cut corners' to save time. I know a lot of people were helped in games b/c Kaplan shows you how to do them well with the time alloted. I finished every section on the actual LSAT thanks to them...
So yeah, stay with it and keep plugging away. My other advice: once the class is over go to their testing center and keep taking practice LSATs--I did for 2 weeks before the exam and I know it really helped...it's great that they have that 'free' resource, so use it!
I'm now a fairly happy 1L at a Top 20 Law School...and wouldn't be here without having taken a prep course. Good luck to you!
