By the fourth section, I feel like I've exhausted so much mental strength that I start to get really fatigued. Any advice on how to maintain my stamina?

SLEEP! It is the single most important factor controlling both working memory performance and endurance. Sleep debt accumulates over two weeks, so sleeping well is about sleeping consistently.
My advice is to schedule your test as soon as humanly possible. I did way worse than my potential on my last LSAT because I scheduled it too late and had to take the test at 7:00PM after a full day of work and I was exhausted. If I could take the test on a Saturday in early afternoon, I would have so much more energy. It seems like a very practical way that I could have raised my score like 4-5 points but you just have to be really really quick with scheduling your test
My plan for test day is to get an espresso on the way. I don't want to drink too much coffee and have to pee during 🤣
My answer is kinda like how do you not get tired running a marathon? You train for it. You won't have that stamina by any trick or disguise of the imagination, it's something that should come with practice from consistent drilling.
I think of it as building the stamina that will be required to maintain the pace necessary in Law School.
@NoNamed92 do you get test anxiety? I guess I would be careful about drinking coffee before an exam, especially if you're already going to get an adrenaline rush!
