Nope. Took a full-length, timed practice test.

She scored a 180 as well. Her LSN profile is a thing of beauty. To answer the thread question, yes, I didn't do anything the day before the test. I don't think it really matters all that much what you do the day before the test.
I feel like I've got my own hype man!

I never had problems with "endurance" on standardized tests and intensive studying right before exams usually served me well, so that's why I didn't stress about taking full PTs farther in advance. I wouldn't necessarily recommend my approach to others, but it worked OK for me!

Maybe my perspective is kind of skewed, but I think the "know thyself" adage applies to a lot of LSAT prep questions, including this one. I don't think there's a universal wrong or right answer, it's just a matter of figuring out what works best for you personally.

Pretty sure you're the most special of the special snowflakes. We're you also doing calculus at 8 months? I'm gel.

Nah, calculus wasn't until 9 months -- at 8 months I was on my trigonometry grind!

Yes, I was a retaker who had taken 3 months off and not had my PTs/drilling drop off at all, so I figured it didn't make any difference.

I did a full timed test the early afternoon before. Had a beer and hung out with friends that night. Nothing the morning of.

Yep. I wouldn't do a thing the day before the test if I were you. Even taking too many tests during the week before can burn a person out.

No prep other than hard logic games like a dozen of them (the hardest ones ever according to Lsat blog and powerscore) -- ended up going -0 on the real thing for that section so things worked out.

I spent a good part of the day traveling to a tiny Asian lady who gave me acupuncture treatment on my neck. I slept well the night before the test bc of this also. Look into it homie
