Self-study
I am taking the LSAT for the first time this saturday and the during the previous two weeks, I was scoring at a 162-164 and then suddenly this week I seem to be doing 7-10 points worse all of a sudden. I am getting things wrong that I never have before and when I blind review, its like I suddenly stopped being able to read and comprehend when I was drilling and pt-ing. During the blind reviews, I am able to easily get the correct answer so I don't understand why I keep getting it wrong the first time all of a sudden
Now I feel like the more I get wrong, the more I get into my own head, and then the worse I do which makes me really nervous for saturday.
Any tips or advice to get out of this cycle.
On the bright side, I definitely plan to take the lsat atleast once more

Take a break from it. This week I've been just doing maintenance drills. No heavy stuff, no PT, did a set of RC drills to mimic a section but nothing like a real section. You can't cram things in the week of the test, and it's probably counterintuitive to do so.
Take care of yourself, maybe don't do too many drills, focus on watching the explanation videos, etc. I'd say go do things you like to do and maybe throw in some meditation/mindfulness exercises/breathing exercises too. I wouldn't push yourself on the week of the test.
You want to be up and ready to rock and roll on Saturday. Save the energy and mental energy for Saturday. You've done all the hard work in the weeks leading up to now. Keep your head up and stay positive!
