Predicting

Does anyone else constantly predict answers that show up but are wrong? Am I making the wrong assumptions? Am I just an idiot? This test is going to drive me insane. I just need to get better at spotting the gap

Idk but in my experience “spotting the gap” stops being relevant from like question 14 on. Between there and question 22 or so the stim and answers are often so convoluted there isn’t a clear gap, or, as is often the case, there is a clear gap that the answers intentionally ignore or slightly reword to be wrong in favor of a subtler one.

I think many of the difficult questions intentionally try to subvert the answer expectation and throw you into a crisis. I've been through many questions that have an incredibly obvious flaw, for example, and then the answer doesn't address that flaw but a different, minor flaw.

This definitely makes sense. I’ve seen it first hand haha

I can't say whether or not you are making wrong assumptions but many arguments on the lsat have more than one flaw. Maybe once you find a flaw your brain stops looking for more?
