Hey everyone,
I’ve been studying for about 4 weeks now, 2 weeks on the 7Sage core curriculum and 2 weeks focused on drilling. I’ve got 8 weeks left.
My first practice test last week was a 150, and my second PT this week was a 154.
I’ve been doing Blind Review, error logging, and all that good stuff. What I’ve noticed across both PTs is that in the LR sections, I usually go about -3 on questions 1–18, but then I completely fall apart on questions 18–26. I’ll miss around six or seven questions there, even though during BR I get them right almost instantly.
This happens no matter the question difficulty, level 2, 3, or 4, as long as it’s in that back half of the section I completely fumble the bag. So I’m pretty sure it’s fatigue or pacing, not an understanding issue.
Fixing this would probably be the difference between my current 154 and breaking into the 160s.
Any advice on how to handle LR fatigue or keep focus through the whole section would be super appreciated! Good luck my fellow future lawyers 🫡

Doing focus exercises may help. Here is one that is backed by science: set your timer for 2 mins and set aside all distractions; focus on a single visual object (like a coffee cup in front of you or point on the wall; keep your focus trained on that spot for the entire 2 minutes; allow thoughts to come and go-try to have a clear mind; repeat a few times throughout the day. Bonus points if you do this while balancing on one leg for 1 min and the other for the second min. May also help to read difficult passages for at least 30 mins prior to bed. If your mind wanders, bring it back. And finally, I recommend taking a few seconds out of testing as you come into that home stretch to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to re-oxygenate your brain and restore focus, and reminding yourself to sharpen your focus as you hit those questions. Good luck!
