I am taking the LSAT in October. I have taken prep tests 54 and 55 in my testmasters class and we will also take 56 and 57. I have also taken prep tests 31, 34, 35, 36, 37, and 38. (scores ranged between 160-169)

Starting tomorrow and until a couple of days before the test, is it a good idea to take prep tests 32,33 and 39-60?

What do you guys think? Is that too many tests in the amount of time left?
Should i take more? (I worked through 1-15 as individual sections so i have 16-30 left. I want to use some of them as 5th sections though.)

How frequently were you taking tests before now? It may be a good idea to increase the number and frequency of PTs now, but only if you feel that you can do so without burning out.

I did not take that many, maybe like 2 a week for the past 2 weeks. Before that i I was mainly focused on getting the concepts down.

If you are used to taking 2 per you should definitely be able to transition to 3 per week without much difficulty. I'd say do more than 3 per week if you feel up to it, as in my experience the more PTs you take the better. Just be sure to ease up a bit right before the test so that your brain gets a chance to de-stress and recharge.

Thank you.

How many days before the test did you stop taking Practice tests?

Wondering this too.

I'm taking 39-60 before the exam, with 3/4 per week

I think I stopped taking PTs like 3 days before the test. 2 days before the test I did a quick overview of question strategies and did some individual questions. The day before the test I did nothing LSAT related. The day of the LSAT I did a logic game section the morning before the test started to warm up my brain, because I am most decidedly not a morning person.

I'm going to experiment with doing one LG, one RC passage, and about 5 LR Questions of different types as a pre-test warm up.
I realize that my biggest problem is warming up, not stamina.

yea...i definitely have to warmup, especially on test day.

I'm skeptical of whether or not myself and the OP can do 3 tests a week without burning out or cutting down the time we spend reviewing our last PT. However, I'd like to try b/c I've been doing 2 a week for a few months and my score has flat-lined.

Any advice?

I am a bit skeptical myself, but i am going to try it out and see how i feel after the first 2 weeks. maybe ill slow it down for the 2 weeks before the test.
