I'm only ~167 right now, so don't take my advice with certainty as it doesn't directly answer your question. BUT, I do make great grades and have a lot of responsibilities and I can say without the necessary vitamins/diet + exercise, I would not be able to function as well as I presently do. All I really do is walk about 3-4 miles a day, so nothing too strenuous, but it gets me some necessary vitamin D and keeps the blood moving. Also, attempt to inhibit your sexual habits. If yours are as severe as mine were, then it absolutely behooves you to limit them.

Absolutely. Once you get into the 170s you have a solid mastery of the test, so then it comes down to being at the top of your game focus and speed-wise. Exercise, diet, sleep, and restraining your sexual activity are key to nailing it on test day.

take PT's on the treadmill

obama smokes cigs so I'd recommend doing that instead

I despise exercising. I can't overstate this enough.

Can someone explain this? I have seen it mentioned, but is it seriously credited?

Its a known fact you can't score 170+ without a 3 plate deadlift.

I feel physical fitness was a huge part in bringing my score from a 163 to a 170. First take, I spent all my time working (commuting to work 1 1/2hr roundtrip) and studying for the LSAT. I ran/lifted maybe once a week.

I ended up quitting said job, taking a part time gig within walking distance to my home and had a substantial amount more time to study, work out/run and read/relax. Obviously the increase in study time was the most important factor here, but I feel being able to run/lift in the early morning almost everyday made a big difference because 1. It gave me more physical endurance to continue focusing on tests 2. It greatly decreased stress which helps in a myriad of ways such as better sleep, better concentration and increased confidence. 3. Waking up and getting active at an early time helped me be totally awake and alert by 9 A.M. which helped me peak during test time as opposed to rolling out of bed with no time to spare and chugging redbulls on the way to the testing center as I did my first go around.

I'm dragging on but if you want more specifics of how I incorporated exercise into studying, I'd be happy to share. Alternatively, you can always just buy some Vyvanse/Adderall...

Did my final week of timed section work while on a recumbent bike at the gym. Got a 170. Obvious causation.

This should be its own thread.

If you have bad sexual habits then you are expending a lot of energy towards something that is probably better suited for you later in your life. It can also take up a lot of mental/emotional energy, unless you're completely shallow.

I dunno, wouldn't cranking one out usually help one's focus afterwards?

ETA: I think it's amusing that you're talking about sexual restraint and started a thread asking about your chances of getting it in at various schools.

Is this going to turn into another Synchro Genesis thread?

170/173, and ran 4-5 miles pretty much every day (including test day).

Before or after the test? During the break?

Before. I would get up around 6:30, run, shower, eat, then hit the library. It really wakes you up and gets you going.

Nothing like a 180 and breaking the 3 minute mile on the same day.
