diagramming

I always seem to diagram the passage differently than the video explanation. This confuses me. Is there a proper way to diagram? I always feel like I'm getting the question wrong because of how I diagram the passages and answer choices differently. Also, everything seems to make sense after the fact, but while I'm doing the question myself it gets way too confusing to diagram. I'm lost and confused. This is really frustrating because I know how important these S&N concepts are for the test. Is there a step-by-step format I can follow as a guide?

There is not a proper way to diagram, but what LSATMax teaches are what we think are useful (and repeatable) methods for diagramming LR statements and games.

It is great news that things are making sense after the fact, because that shows you are comprehending the concept behind the question and our answer strategy. I also empathize with the feeling of frustration, but also know that this test is one of frustrating plateaus + eventual breakthroughs. The key is perseverance, repetition, and trying to make it as fun for yourself as you possibly can.
