Running out of study material

If you end up having to retake the exam, what happens if the practice tests that you have left (the ones that are completely fresh/new to you) are very limited? Basically what if you run out of study material but you need to take the exam a second or third time?
I'm taking the LSAT for the first time in August 2025, but I think it's very likely I'll have to retake it. I'm limiting myself to only use odd numbered PTs for full length practice test, sections, and drills. But even then I'm worried about running out of material in the long run.

    Spend more time/days on singular passages. If you have not reached 180, only go to new material when you fully understand why you failed all the past ones. For example, I spent a couple of months intentionally racking up mistakes/drilling and then spent another month, all of April, going over approx. 100 LR qns I failed before I attempted anything new, meaning I have plenty of new material to last years only if I spend most of my time with my mistakes. When I fail a qn, I try to also think about what exactly were they testing here that I failed in another test, which definitely extends my review time. Essentially you will make fewer mistakes than the ones you're getting right but you need to create some structure so you're not compensating for lack of understanding by always doing new passages. Same thing for RC. Remember why you're doing this, for passing 70 qns testing 70 things over and over, it's not a hobby.
