do u guys just take the whole day off?

im talkin bout days when ur looking at a problem and your mind just cannot focus on the task at hand.
is it better to just not look at anything at all? force yourself to do it? or go light on whatever you study

I always take a day off when I feel like I'm getting burnt out. I also started to study 6 months out for the upcoming October test, so when you start earlier you have more leeway to take some days off rather than studying 3 months out. Currently I'm taking about 4 or 5 days off so I can focus on my finals and then start back up once the summer starts.

i'd say if u can't look at another LSAT q. on that day, then try to read as much of a good book as fast as u can.

being able to quickly dissect dense sections of text quickly is a very important skill for the LSAT. One way to improve this is to read dense literature with a lot of logical twists and turns.

My favorite is a novel by Dostoevsky, or try passages from publications like The Economist or Foreign Affairs. Again, it is important to be able to decipher the content of the article as quickly as possible to allow for more time to compare answer options, so read as fast as u can.. hopefully after a couple weeks of that you will see an increase in how fast u read.

Distinguish burn-out from bad attitude. theres a difference. if ur "burned-out" day after day, then ur not burned out.

I took days off when I felt burned out. I did try to do something related though, like read through the Powerscore bible sections on my high miss items or do some games which I found less tedious. If I was really burned out, I did nothing.
