Staying Motivated after months of studying Forum

[NotHermione]

Since I work full-time (generally between 50-65 hour weeks), my studying has been drawn out off and on for nearly 9 months. I'm planning to take the June test, but I'm losing my motivation and worried I won't be ready. (I'm shooting for 170s and seem to be stuck at 169 which is incredibly frustrating & definitely isn't helping)

I thought I would beat out exhaustion by only studying 2 or so hours a night during the week, taking Fridays off and then doing longer days on Saturdays and Sundays, but that does not seem to be the case.

For those of you who have studied over long periods (especially after a disappointing actual exam), how did you keep motivated towards the end?

Is not easy. Because if you try to force yourself thinking about the greater good of these extra points, you put undue pressure on yourself to perform on test day which could impair your performance.

The way I went about it was that I hate living a life with regret, I will just do whatever I can, if I can score the magical 99th percentile score, so be it, if not, at least I tried to the best of my abilities.
