So I started out studying hoping that I'd get a 169, but have lessened my expectations because of my scores on the most recent PTs: 57 (165), 58 (170), 59 (164), 60 (164). I'm dicing up 61 over the remainder of the time until the test. Anyone else do a lot better from PTs 45-53 than from 54 on? For whatever reason I did much better on those than on the more recent ones. I'm also taking longer on LG and RC, and thats scaring the shit out of me.

Also, what is everyone bringing for snacks on Saturday? I'm thinking I'll go with a small bag of chips and a cereal bar.

you have to take something with substance. protein/ carb mix.

Take something like a Clif Bar. It is about the right size to eat in the time you have, and will provide energy over the next couple of hours while not giving you a sugar high immediately followed by a crash.

At my LSAT, I had at the break:

1) Clif Bar
2) Handful of Cashews
3) Fruit Leather
4) San Pelligrino

Worked for me.

For October I made a peanut butter and banana sandwich. protein, fat and sugar definitely revived me!

I am retaking this Saturday and in October I had:

Simple bagel w/ CC for breakfast
(2) 5 Hour Energy Drinks (1 before, 1 during the break)
1 Trail mix bar during the break

Although I consider myself fairly caffeine tolerant, I can assure you that I will be limiting myself to just one 5 hour energy this time around....
