Only 4 More Days Til the Big Day!

Sooo, June 6th is coming up. And there couldn't be a more appropriate day as it is D-Day.

I feel like I'm suffering from LSAT burnout...the other day I got a whopping 177, and two tests before that, a 175. Usually my scores are in the 170 range but I've literally been doing practice tests almost every other day.

I'm starting to get burned out and I took a practice test today and I just felt so removed from the whole thing. Just going through the motions and just not caring and getting things wrong. I got a 168 unfortunately. These kind of dives happen when I just am studying for too long.

I'm thinking of doing another practice test on saturday...but I dunno if that's a good idea. I just wanna take this test now already and be done with it. My biggest concern is that, even though I've been studying with all the conditions of the test, I'm gonna collapse under the pressure. Mainly because I've studied so much for this test for so long that if I do badly, I'm going to feel so embarrassed and that I wasted months of my life for no reason.

Any tips for reducing stress, pressure, on the day of so that I will be at least somewhat relaxed?

Seems like you've done all the right things to score consistently in the 170's (congrats on that by the way).

I still have a long way to go, but I imagine that just before I take the exam in October I'll be a bit jittery (just as you are now).

Maybe the best thing to do at this point is take long naps, play video games or something... then do 1 or 2 35 minute LR sections today or tomorrow... and then... ace the LSAT on Monday.

Good luck

I'd "second" Chike's comment. With the LSAT being tomorrow, I'd review a bit today and then take the rest of the day off. You won't lose any of your sharpness and you'll be more relaxed - which helps you think clearly, which helps you spot the issue at hand more quickly, which helps you move faster, which gives you more time to double/triple check those several questions that just stump you.

Good luck on Monday skapurr777!
