I did 3 prep tests per week during the last two weeks before my test, plus some drilling. On the day before the test, I did one logic games section and spent the rest of the day working out and relaxing. My PT average rose 2 or 3 points in the last two weeks.
No disrespect intended, but that has to be the worst idea that I have heard up to this date. You're either ready or you're not. That's all there is to it. These last two weeks are not for improvement. We are almost at the finish line. The maximum amount of PTs you should take per week should be two. You are asking for trouble by taking 12 in the next 14 days. You will become sick of the exam and your performance on test day will reflect your bitterness. What you should be doing is mentally preparing yourself and preventing yourself from making careless mistakes. Well, to each his/her own, but I caution you against following through with this plan.
12 tests in 14 days will burn you out and the results will not be pretty. Just don't be surprised if and when that approach comes back to haunt you. There's a reason why you never see this strategy employed or recommended by top scorers.
Try not to think too much about it. Which is easier said than done!

Take the 5-6 most recent tests and read The LSAT Trainer... At least that's what I'm doing

Yeah, taking the five most recent ones.
This is golden lol
@harrismegan369
Are they the five most recent exams (70-75)? I would only take the ones in the 70s before the exam.

Jeez, and I'm careful about writing 5 Pt's with thorough BR by the time the exam rolls around.

^ as long as you don't burn out..... you want to be at your best come October 3rd!
My endurance sucks. So I'm writing test (almost) everyday at the time the test will be: 9am (or close to it). 12 tests in the next 14 days
