I hit the pt's hard this summer, about 30 tests, saw BIG improvement. Scored 180 twice, and a 5 pt. moving average of 175ish for the past few months.

I have laid off a lot the last few weeks with the start of the new semester. Took my first pt in a few weeks today and scored 164... not what I was hoping for. I missed 11 on the last section, RC, on which I usually miss 1 or 2. I was borderline bored for the second half of the test. I'm starting to feel like I'm over the LSAT, so to speak. Not a good place to be 2.5 weeks out from the test.

I'm considering two approaches now: 1) lay off between now and test day, take maybe 2 tests, not more, feel confident knowing that I'm capable of scoring highly, and hope that test day is a better day for me. Or 2) Put non-essential classwork to the side and push back hard, 3 pt's/week, reviewing answers etc.

I put a lot of effort into this over the summer and I want to finish right. I don't want to flake out when I'm so close, but I also don't want to make anything worse if I'm really in that burn out mode.

Anyone experience something like this? Recommendations?

Thanks

def option 2. The drop was just rust related, all you gotta do is get back into it, with 2 180s it looks like you have a good grasp of everything, but yeah, take a couple more pts before test day, don't over do it, but at least take one every couple days to keep up with everything. judging by a huge drop from your time off, the last thing you should do is take another 2 weeks off. keep studying, but don't kill yourself or anything, just get back into the mindset. Don't be over it, in 2 weeks you'll never have to worry about it again, just 2 damn weeks. and if you need to sacrifice school, a great lsat score is much more important than a fraction of a semester

I would actually take a break. Take one or two test a week and review. Do nothing besides that and you should be fresh for test day. It is what I have been doing and it seems to work for me, I am scoring my best ever.



Assumption made: I could possibly be scoring a lot higher if I had more rigorous practice. I tend not to believe this though...


No matter what you will kill it on test day, good luck.

Option 2. Get that 175+ average back in your head.

Yea, it seems you've already taken a break. Time to get back to studying.
