Not really, besides taking as many simulated PTs as possible (analog watch, #2 pencils, proctor, scantron). Even then, it doesn't really prepare you for the real thing. Unless you have ice water in your veins, you just have to prepare to be a little more nervous than usual on test day. Also, if there is any way you can switch from Kaplan to another prep company like Blueprint or Manhattan, I'd do it. Kaplan doesn't have a good rep.

THE LSAT IS COMPLETELY LEARNABLE AND WE CAN HELP YOU LEARN IT

I followed the advice on this forum and got a 179. I'm far from the only person to have done so. If you are making a 13X or 14X score you have absolutely no business taking the LSAT. You're absolutely right to be nervous because I could bubble in all B's and make a better score than you. Get rid of Kaplan because they are absolute worst test prep company in existence. We have 50 users on this site who can score higher than any Kaplan instructor just waiting to help you. If you are this close to the test and are making such an atrocious score, then you're an idiot if you take it. It's the most important test of your life and means more than your entire undergraduate education. It deserves your time and effort. Withdraw from the test, buy some powerscore or manhattan (preferably) books, watch 7sage's videos on games, and follow our study guides and you'll thank us later. Otherwise, DON'T GO TO LAW SCHOOL.

well . I'm looking for advice , I already paid for kaplan so i might as well stick through it . Any advice on what i need to be doing from now until nov . The nov is a full length pracaite test , but since this is my first one i want to take it like if it were the real thing
