This is going to sound arrogant (sorry about that), but I think it's probably a healthy mindset for this test:
I know that I haven't failed a section due to time in 4-5 months. I also know I'm consistently PTing well into the 170's. So, when I run into a question or a group of questions that bog me down time wise, I tell myself to chill and take all the time I need to answer them correctly.
Why? Well, as I see it, I'll be a top 1 or 2 percent tester and top 1 or 2 percent testers don't have timing issues. So, I proceed with confidence regardless of what's thrown at me. If I hit a slow patch, I accept that's how the test is written (there have to be "discriminator" questions) and I know it means that some "gimme" questions are just ahead I can breeze through.
Now, I fully admit this perspective is hyper-confident, but I think a hyper-confident attitude is needed to succeed on this damn LSAT. If you know you're good and "play the game" accordingly, you're less likely to get flustered or rattled. That's a good thing. It also allows you to find your center and get into a flow.
Works for me, anyway. /TonyRobbins
