Does anyone else experience this? I feel so solid/ full of energy on the first 3 sections, then when it comes time for the break, I feel so sluggish. Anyone have a suggestion to combat this?

@7sagestudentservices @2543.hopkins gotta find motivation somehow, right?
I think I need that treat yo self gif as my profile picture (for life generally)
@2543.hopkins haha usually I treat myself with food and drinks! but yes, shopping during the week prepares me for PTs lol
@igbodoe249 does this explain all the shopping ??? :D
Same here. But I started this reward thing once I finish a PT. and it really work. Whatever I want I'll treat myself to it after I take a PT. And honestly it makes the 4th section go by so much quicker and I don't even feel as drained anymore.
Agree with @megunmcdaniel762 , eat real food and hydrate properly (the night before and morning of) and consume balanced macros during the break. I like a pecan-stuffed date with chia seeds and maybe a wad of meat of some kind (small batch local organic jerky, yes). And I have raw cacao that has coffee in it (made with coconut sugar = relatively low carb, even for me).
Also agree with @alexroark5906 : It's a matter of stamina. Go long, go hard, no excuses >:) And I'd add to that, ramp up—start with 4 sections no break, then 5 no break, then 6 no break ... and make sure to treat yourself when you're done with a long, no-break section like that to ward off burnout! Gradually increase the "load" and you'll be surprised what a difference it makes when you sit for actual PT's.
Are you eating and re-hydrating during your beak? It might seem silly, but it could be dehydration and low blood sugar. I'd agree with @alexroark5906 to practice 5 or 6 sections straight through, but when you reincorporate a break, be sure to eat something and drink enough water. Re-fueling during the break is important to combat sluggishness.
I'd second what @alexroark5906 said but once you do that... also follow the second bit of his advice... once your stamina is up, start stopping after 3 sections for a 15 minute break... one of the reasons the LSAT has this is to ensure a break in your momentum when you get to sections 4,5 and the writing section... you have got to train yourself to respond to that challenge as well.
Practice taking 5 or 6 sections of older tests without stopping. After that, 3 and then 2 will be a breeze
