Should you study the day/night before LSAT or is it better just to rest because at that point there is not much you can improve on?

Just rest and then do some drills the morning of the exam (like 2 or 3 questions or 1 game).

+1

Get a good night's sleep and make sure you're ready to go in the morning.

Agree with previous posters. Don't do anything the day before then review the morning of the test. One thing that I wish I would have done when I took the LSAT is study less the week of the test. I took a few pts the week of and ended up feeling pretty burnt out the day of the test.

Different people have different methods. For me, I had to keep doing some light LR drills the day before and hours before the test. I realized when I stayed away from LR for a while, it takes some time for me to ease into the test. You don't have to take PTs, but drills would be credited.

Definitely depends on the person. If I take a few days off I get fatigued and sloppy easily.

I took it easy the week before my first test and I felt the same way.

I took a PT before my retake and did better. I was less anxious on the day of my retake; it just felt like a PT I had to try my absolute best on.

I just had a glass of wine and went to bed early. Relax and you'll do fine.

I had two beers and played RockBand. Things turned out fine.
