Bro I'm so fucking pissed about this mono thing. Gah damn. Swear I'm not a vagina guys, but I literally can't get out of bed. It literally feels like i have a huge weight on my chest. I cant even sit up man. Freakin student athlete reduced to a senior citizen. Not to mention I cant even swallow right now cuz my tonsils are likely the size of elephantitis balls, so I got all of 0 minutes of sleep. What a setback. Had a PT scheduled today but thats out the window

Get yourself to a clinic and see if they can give you a corticosteroid to reduce the swelling and suppress your immune reaction. You can't be sick like that right now. LSAT is in sixteen days.

Something like
LR1: -6

LR2: -2
RC: -4

I was averaging at most -2 on most other LR sections ;'[ D'; T.t

was it tiredness/haziness? do you need a break maybe? I've found that sometimes I make more silly mistakes if I haven't warmed up properly.

It might be tiredness/laziness... When I blind reviewed I went up to a 178, only missing one or two of the LR's in total that I originally incorrectly did the first time.

I feel like I'm just suffering from overall LSAT exhaustion, if that's even possible. Inb4 grey hairs

lol LSAT exhaustion is definitely real life.

I have found a grey hair. Not even a joke. I was kind of hoping it would develop into a majestic streak of grey at my temple so that I would look wise and mysterious, but no dice.

It has to be careless reading or not being fully awake, because I finish LR with ~10 minutes and am able to go back over those I wasn't 100% on. I've been getting up at 6am for the past 2 or 3 weeks to accustom myself to being mentally awake and prepared by 8am, but I'm still feeling pretty tired most days. Heading to bed by 11pm, too. Maybe I'm just in a psychological rut... Who knows.. I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself to get over 175, because I know I can do it, but I've been stuck below 173. Have to stop wearing myself down about it

i think sometimes being afraid that ill fail keeps me from doing well

I'd recommend trying to get in bed even earlier than that, if you can. I've been getting up at 6, but I'm in bed by 9:45 - 10. The LSAT requires a lot more mental energy than a regular day in the life. So even if you typically don't need a full 8 hours to function at your best, you might need it for this. Just a thought.

Speaking of more mental energy... Has anyone even bothered to practice the essay? Pretty concerned that by the end of the test I'll just be, like, dumb.

You are probably right, actually. 8hrs of sleep incoming

And, yes, with everyone else on the don't worry about this LR fiasco but also generally try to calm down approach.

[ErgoSum]

I understand this. I wrote a PT a few weeks back when I was sick and exhausted, went -5 on LG and got a 173, and nearly cried because my average is 175. I know this makes me a douchenozzle, but there is a lot of pressure on us to do our best, and underperforming, even in practice, is stressful.

Just take it easy and make sure you're eating enough.

I'm going to an art opening tomorrow with a friend - the first social activity I've scheduled in over a month - and she was like, "Drinks?" Tried to convince myself that I could have just one, but, nope. No way I'm going to have even a sip of a beer before Saturday morning's PT. Just ginger ale for me.
