Hi everyone — I’m hoping to get some advice about building stamina for the accommodated version of the LSAT.
I receive 50% extended time and stop-the-clock breaks, so my sections are 53 minutes each and the whole test ends up being about 4 hours. I’ve been taking full practice tests under realistic conditions, but I’m finding that my accuracy drops noticeably in the second half of the test. Even when I’m well-rested, I start to feel mentally drained after the second section, and my focus slips especially on LR and occasional RC passages.
I’ve been practicing with the same timing I’ll have on test day and taking the 10-minute breaks between sections, but I’m still struggling to maintain consistent performance across all four sections.
Has anyone found effective ways to build stamina specifically for an extended-time LSAT?
I’d love advice on:
How to structure practice tests (e.g., whether to split sections or always do full-length)
How to use the between-section breaks and stop-the-clock breaks strategically
Whether to do “back-to-back section” stamina training on off days
Any adjustments to study schedule that have helped others with 50% extra time
I’m seeing strong Blind Review scores (around 170 on my last PT), but my real-time performance drops by ~5–7 points, and I suspect stamina is a big part of it. Any tips or experiences would be super appreciated!
